Claire: Well, I guess you're not a bicycle.
Marten: Huh?
Claire: You weren't too tired.

I can actually see that as the first three panels. Panel 4 is Faye banging on the dividing wall and shouting at them to stop laughing like lunatics.

Yes. Yes, he did. I noticed her eyes were white on Panel 2 when he uploaded the comic; he fixed them a little bit later. Now I can concentrate on the issue of why Claire would use pink shorts with a blue dress, because when you mix blue and pink you get either purple, baby clothes or a song. Or all three at the same time.
And now, taking it from the idea of baby clothes, I still expect they have a reasonable number of babies. Mr. John Ellicott-Chatham, sir, you better hurry up with that technology. Some of us in the real world will benefit from it too.

Would you call that a blow drive-by comment? :claireface:

(K, one hell of a stretch but something called out for a pun. Probably the mention of Claire)

Oh, nice one. I'd suggest we pun in tandem but I lack the wit to do that.

Count me as one of the ones offput by Marten's new "soulful" eyes. I think part of it is Jeph is now more into showing his characters staring directly at the *fourth wall," whereas in the past they were usually in profile or looking away. But either way, Martin gives me the creeps whenever we get a closeup of his eyes now.
Which brings me to the one problem with the strip. Marten doesn't take his eyes off of Claire's face, from what we can see, in the last two panels.
Claire is looking for acceptance of her body, not her face, since Marten knows her face already. This includes her bits, or she wouldn't have taken off her panties. Any straight dude, if he sees his GF naked for the first time, is going to scan her whole body (whether she's trans or cis) and just take it all in.
Marten may have done this off-panel. Indeed, I'm expecting he did, and the lack of his eyes traveling downward is an oversight by Jeph. But it does make his "You're beautiful" come across as a bit disingenuous to me. Not that he doesn't think she's beautiful, but as if he's saying it to be supportive and reassuring. That his eyes not traveling south signals he's either uncomfortable to some degree, or worried she'd be uncomfortable with him doing so (which is a misread, IMHO).
