I'm going with BenRG on this. I don't think Marten thinks Claire is more delicate. I think he cares more than he has in the past. I think many of us could say we've been in relationships we just sort of fell into, rather than built. In that aspect I think Marten recognizes that what he is building with Claire seems much more important than those of the past.
That said there's quite possibly some part of him that wants to be more protective, understanding that Claire has likely been through a lot. I don't think it has so much to do with thinking one is unequal in the relationship, but more like, since he cares so much, being protective and mindful of her feelings and knowing Pintsize, he wanted to stem that before it happened. Frankly I think it's sweet, and I'm immensely jealous of a fictional character (who I swear is not me only cause I don't know Jeph).

I don't think he does, so not sure what he was going to say.
FYI, "transgendered" isn't really a word. Transgender is an adjective, not a verb. That'd be kinda like saying "Did you know Dora was Femaled". I know that might seem picky and I'm not upset at all, but I figure you'd rather know. :claireface:

Another vote for BenRG on this matter.
Marten realizes he's got a keeper this time, possibly lifelong, and that changes your perspective on what is and isn't acceptable around your better half. He's grown and changed over nearly 3000 strips; it's about time is all I can say. Then add to this the whole idea that Pintsize's mission really is almost over... ?

Ok Weird Al's "World Crimes" just came to mind on that one.
Anyways, good to see no lasting ill effects on Pintsize from the Night of the Drunken Faye. Second it great to see Marten get into Pintsize's robotic ass a bit on how he treats people, even if its to preempt a comment on Claire. Three its also nice to see Marten willing to stand up for Claire (even if its to a robot that he could easily dismantle and be done with it). Can't wait until next weeks strips.
Now what would I like to see in next couple of week strips.
1. Faye apologizing to Dora (yes Dora deserves one) after she has come to terms with what happened and only after seeing the Doc again.
2. Dora reciprocating (reluctantly) then talking about what happened and then asking what Faye plans to do (keeping Faye fired however)
3. Faye then asking to use the welding space in the back (maybe with the added bonus of giving Dora a small bit of cash from each project for using the space) and also asking if Dora knows of places where she can get a steady job (Dora being a business owner should at least know a few places, any owner with his or her salt would have networked a bit with other local businesses in order to help and or establish partnerships).
4. Pintsize starting to help Faye a bit with her issues (in his own chaotic way). It has been established that Pintsize does care a bit about her (holding a party to get donations so she can get a dresser and other stuff comes to mind).
Any my two cents, back to lurking.

Anyone that is inspired to think of Al needs to do more than lurk.... :) TY! (It's actually in my head all the time now when people use that)

That looks like a very thin book

It's a 500 page long book. Every page is just the word "HANNERS" typed over and over again.
