Don't let it fool you. Hannelore in the streets, Sven in the sheets.

Pintsize in the sheets is where the real fun's at.
Mr. Skawronska:
Well, it's about time Marten and Claire hooked up. Good for them! Woooo!
Is it cold in here?:

It occurs to me that no where near the same number of people seemed to be as critical or concerned about Marten having a one night stand a while back with Tai's friend, nor were there as many complaints about him hooking up with Padma so soon after they'd met. This makes me wonder why, exactly, Claire and Marten doing whatever is such a big kerfuffle in comparison in some people's minds.

The only people who are in any place to make decisions based on that are Claire herself, and by extension Marten, if indeed they are going further than cuddles.

The two people concerned have already agreed with each other to take things in stride.
I think the "too soon" criticism is a criticism of the writing, not of the relationship, from people who didn't see how long Jeph was laying the groundwork for this. AprilArcus pointed out some nuances of Claire's body language in earlier strips that showed she's been constantly working to overcome relationship anxiety all along.
wdfarmer:
Claire's "puppy-dog" expression, raised eyebrows, and body language says to me, in the context of this strip:
"I've decided that you're the guy for me. Here I am. Will you take me? Whatever you want to do is fine."
On the other hand, if I received that expression from a woman in real life, I'd be concerned that there was something wrong that had gobsmacked her, and I'd want to find how I could help her.
Mr. Skawronska:

--- End quote ---
No. First off, Faye isn't anyone I'd call a friend. Ever. Any "relationship" I'd have with someone like that would be at the very BEST, professional and from a great distance. Because I dislike Faye so intensely I reserve the right to cut her no slack whatsoever. And being mean to Hanners is like kicking a kitten.
