It's the only way to be sure, after all.
Honestly, I sadly did expect to see a fusillade of flying ban-hammers after the last couple of comics. Either the mods have reacted far faster than I could see, or people have behaved far better than they have in the past.

ok, from my perspective, as one of the people where the sugary Marten/Claire strips did nothing for them, it wasn't about drama, or a need for the characters to suffer, or anything like that. It simply is that I like to have a strip that interests me in some way. Either a joke, plot progression, something moving.
Jephs depiction of Marten and Claire's first date just felt like a repeat of the same strip, over and over, with small changes.
I've liked the last two strips because they are something DIFFERENT, something interesting. When Marten asked Claire out, that was interesting.

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).

The implication of what you're saying here is that if you didn't see it explicitly happen then it never happened at all, which is clearly nonsense as we've not had strip after strip of each character using the toilet in awful, explicit detail, and they're not all in hospital with kidney. bladder or bowel problems.

See, I at least get this (I don't agree, in that, it personally was amusing to me, to each their own), but at least it makes sense to me.
Rather than: Its not realistic unless she faces horrible because she is a trans woman. We need drama because Marten is being perfect (he's just being Marten, laid back and generally chill, there hasn't been anything that came up that personally threatened him in any way!). Etc. etc.

Remember what Marten saw growing up....
