Great. Now I'm hearing "loom" repeated as the lyrics to the Imperial March from Star Wars.
And now you are too. You're welcome. :evil:

It's not his heart, he doesn't need it and it came postage due, but still!

I just started reading Questionable Content. I started with the last few hundred strips and then went back to the beginning. I still have about 1,000 strips to go. I just got to the point where Dora moved in with Marten and Faye.
The one thing the strikes me about today's strip is that Marten has never felt the need to do anything other than warn people about Pintsize. Even Hanners, with all of her problems, didn't provoke such a protective reaction from Marten.
Dora never needed Marten's protection. She is a strong, independent woman that is more than capable of defending herself from anything.
Does Marten somehow see Claire as more delicate? That he needs to intervene with Pintsize? I'm not sure that is a particularly good thing.
Every relationship is different. Marten has clearly shown that he is more confident and assertive in this relationship, and that's a nice development, but this has me wondering that he may feel that Claire is not up to certain challenges. That she is something less than a loving and equal partner.

I'm not sure if it's seeing Claire as 'delicate' as such (although Marten might be worried that Pintsize might accidentally strike some delicate and only recently-healed scars).
I think that you're right about 'every relationship being different'. Possibly it is because Marten himself has been changing since the time he dated and later lived with Dora. In any case, he does seem to be investing a lot more, emotionally, in his relationship with Claire and is being generally more proactive in most areas.
