St.Clair:
REAL
BROWN
GRIMDARK
wanting to spend time in a world that's nicer than the one on all the newschannels is WRONG and needs to be CORRECTED
MooskiNet:
It's pretty easy to get caught up in examination of how the story is told, the framing for a particular situation, the artwork, etc., and I think everyone (including me) has a take on how the story should go or be told/presented, but in the end it's because of the way that Jeph tells it and presents it that keeps me clicking the link in my browser in the morning (or repeatedly pressing F5 in the evening, depending).
Side note: am I the only person who feels socially awkward as hell referring to 'Jeph' when we don't know each other at all?

Has it ever been established if Claire had the surgery? I seem to remember her saying she did, but I"m not 100%.

Here's a better question... Should it matter? Why?
--- End quote ---
Should it? and Would it? are super different questions. It seems not to matter to Marten, and that's cool.

--- Quote ---With that logic, Jeph is also a terrible author for not making Dale get pulled over by cops and treated like differently by a number of the white character, because how dare he include black character and not make a social statement of the injustices of African Americans. And why does he even include robots? They are just machines!
--- End quote ---
But Dale's race, whatever it might be, has never been so much as acknowledged, whereas Claire's trans status is an extremely important character detail and Jeph, via Word of God Newspost, has even said that he planned her character for a long time, is committed to doing it right, etc. That isn't to say I think there's any right or wrong to how he IS doing it. I like this arc just fine as it. But I totally understand the criticism.
[I never get the quote thing right, sorry](mod edit -- put in the missing tag for you)

It feels more weird calling him Jeph because my natural instict is to autocorrect it mentally to Jeff, which happens to be my name as well.
