--- Quote from: Mr. Black Licorice on 04 Feb 2015, 20:37 ---I'm thinking more from a story telling perspective: there wasn't a lot of lead up. I kinda found it jarring.

...You have read through the archives, right? Like, the first 511 strips?
"Lead up" may appear to be jarring, but it's actually because it tends to be glacial. When one of the icebergs finally fall off the ice shelf, that's when we notice it.
But this - this has kinda been building for a while. We just haven't seen it since the two of them were off holding hands.

Yeesss... I binge-read this comic a year back from the beginning and have reading ever since. Still doesn't change my opinion; the timing in relation to everything else in the story makes it feel a bit jarring. Today's comic feels completely disconnected from the first few comics earlier this week. How could that have been made better? Perhaps dialogue... not even a lot of dialogue. If Claire asked "Are you okay?" in the first frame and the rest of it stayed exactly the same, I think it would have felt much less jarring to me as a reader.

I wanted to consult Jeph's twitter in case had commented, but I see the twitter feed's been removed from the comic site? Or am I just having trouble with it?

With the exception of the interpretation of the door, we're in complete agreement, and I like your explanation of the panels (enough to tell you vice just hitting the button :-D).
I'm not seeing the twitter feed, either.

Nothing on the twitter feed to warrant discussion really.

Because we have active (and dirty) imaginations?
Emperor Norton:
--- Quote from: Carl-E on 05 Feb 2015, 15:52 ---This is where I disagree with many of the other posters. I'm pretty sure that's the front door to the apartment. The hinges and knob agree, the point of view has changed to the view from the hallway. Faye's gone to bed, they have the place to themselves, and I think he's just "welcomed" her in.

As I said in an earlier post (with included reference shots https://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,30442.msg1299958.html#msg1299958 ):
The hallway does not have chair rail, the hinges and handle on Marten's door are on the right and left respectively just as the door shown in panel 3 and 4 of the comic. (Faye's door on the other hand, swings the other way).
By the art, the only possible explanation is that is his bedroom door. Or possibly another door in their small apartment that we have never seen (I don't think we've ever seen the wall the the left of the couch), but that option seems unlikely. (maybe its the rumpus room).
