I'm with Dark Matter on this one. The snark is a defense mechanism. She's able to trust Marten, and so she's able to show a side of her personality that'd normally be encased in snark. She's not playing the ingenue so much as just letting her hair down. If she is, or feels, threatened, that barbed tongue will come back in a heartbeat.
I could be projecting, to a degree -- when I have a mind to, I can be opaque to people I don't know or trust. But the way she's acting now isn't so much out of character as another facet of the person she already is, and has been.

I think a lot of us can relate - we're snarky when defending ourselves. But the comment to Faye was mean - not snarky, but clearly mean, and not as answer to something Faye said to attack her, but in relation to Faye's personal life.
And this after Faye was more than nice - she invited her over for beer and pizza! Someone she barely knows. I don't think Claire felt threatened at all, it was just part of her personality until it was decided that she should be all cute and moe and squee all the time.

Of course all the main characters will be nothing less than accepting of Claire, because Jeph can't write a character whom doesn't reflect his own worldview without turning that character into a strawman.

Are you advocating Pintsize can't be the "dirty joke troll" just to serve as a morality pet about why you shouldn't be trans-phobic/offensive?
Is it cold in here?:

Would you?
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
Answers just about every Pintsize question we were making except how long he was powered down and how far along the situation was when that happened. Marten's look is the visual equivalent of "choose your next words wisely".

Jeph sure does make a lot of comics talking about that thing we're not allowed to talk about... :claireface: :-\
