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).

Really? Seriously?

Well, I've just got to say, BenRG's "Strips I'd Like to See!" posts are most happy-making.
Rather like getting two Questionable Content Universes for the price of one.
Merci beaucoup!

Maybe this is cynicism talking, but if that had been shown, we'd have a bunch of people complaining about how all he could do was ogle her bits. The way it was done, it was implied (to me anyway), and more tasteful.

I keep thinking Merida, from Brave. How do you feel about tartan, Claire?

Well then. Honestly I'm thinking she could do either one, now that you guys mention it. As for today's strip, Claire's face is adorable in panel 4. The kind of nervous look, the hair twirl, it really sells the mood. And gotta hand it to Good Guy Marten for knowing just what to say. I feel no shame in adding to the sea of squee on this one.

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).

I have to admit this post --^ gives me the creeps much more than Marten's creepy eyes do. Just pretend he ogled the shit out of her between panels or something if that's your thing. Next week on QC we may have a strip where someone goes to the loo but we don't get a closeup of the toilet between wiping and flushing. Or maybe less really is more sometimes?
