--- Quote from: Technetium on 06 Feb 2015, 09:24 ---Of course not. But this is a comic that has developed into exploring the foibles of human interaction, primarily in relationships, and in most cases it seems the writer wants to try to represent "issues" that people deal with in real life that might not be written about as much in other fiction. So it's reasonable to ask for those issues to be relevant to the struggles real people face.

Let us not forget that in the time frame of QC, Claire's character and her relationship with Marten is still VERY new. There are plenty of opportunities for the subjects to be discussed, but I enjoy the fact that we are slowly and surely being introduced to Claire as a human being. Her struggles due to being in a smaller sub-set of human beings might need some more time to develop. When we met Faye, we knew she had some troubles. We didn't find out about her Dad until later. We meet the characters and learn about them as time goes on. Jeph has a wonderful way of introducing and resolving conflict by way of a slow and steady build up. I don't see Claire's situation being any different than that of other characters.

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?

Well aside from the practical implications (since they are about to have sex it looks like) it would be interesting to know to learn something about Martin.

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?

No, I totally get that... But it's like do we say "the author" instead or use a last name or what. When you look at art of any kind—including comics—it's only natural to wonder what the artist/author intends and refer to them. It does feel weird to do on a first-name basis, though...

I think a big part of it, is that Jeph doesn't put himself on a pedestal or anything. He seems like a relatively humble guy, from what I can tell. So I don't really feel weird about calling him by his first name, but then again I've never been much for formalities.

I'm not sure how to read panel 5. He seems to look fazed, like how some things still can startle you regardless of knowing it in advance. Well as long that moment didn't last too long. Or he's just tired. But other than that I really liked this comic, so I almost was late to work trying to read all the posts.
--- Quote from: St.Clair on 06 Feb 2015, 09:01 ---When you sit down to a meal with friends and/or family, do you take time to remind them that, you know, many people around the world are starving and miserable and homeless and at risk of getting killed, raped, maimed, etc etc? To put the occasion in the proper perspective.

Well my mom always lectured about kids starving in Biafra when I didn't empty my plate fully. I finally looked it up once and it turned out that country stopped existing 45 years ago.

I don't think so. Claire has mentioned hormone treatments (hence the boobs), but gender reassignment surgery has never come up.
