BenRG:
I think that the key phrase in Marten's little monologue is "I'm not so much passively cool with things, I'm actively happy with them". This is clearly a completely different relationship for Marten and that is why his behaviour is different. His personal stake and feelings are more intense this time around. This strip strikes me as Jeph trying to answer the criticisms on Marten's characterisation that have been levelled at him of late. However, it also fits well with Claire's anxiety issues, so doesn't feel forced.
So, Claire is daring! Going out in her boyfriend's shirt?
EMILY: " Why are you wearing Marten's shirt?"
CLAIRE: "What...? I... How did you...?"
EMILY: "It intensely smells of him! More than you do! Why do you smell like him? Have you been cuddling more than usual?"
Tai is going to love this!
Right now, I suspect that they're on the way to Casa Augusta for a change of clothes and a maternal interrogation. The next two strips may get awkward and funny in equal parts!
Rghfrgl:
It kind of feels like 'We're not going to talk about it, but we're talking about it' again and it feels like that vagueness is making it hard to read.
I mean, I'm breaking the rules talking about it, but..they're talking about it in comic aren't they? So, I guess I'll spoil it for warning to anyone who doesn't want to read it. And if the post gets deleted I'll understand.
(click to show/hide)So, Claire just asked the hardball question of (removed by moderator)? And Marten...kinda said yes? Dodged the question while reaffirming that he was happy with her in general? If Jeph doesn't want to bring up Claire's status that's cool and all, but this seems like it should be a off panel conversation if that's the case. Trying to do both I'm not sure what Claire's asking and I'm not sure what Marten's answer is(Though I do like the active rather than passive line).
Or is it a problem on my end and I'm reading more into it then there is?
Indicible:
Awwww, that's so sweet. Now, where is my insulin.
Contrast with the relationship between Marten and Dora: Marten and Claire may well end up as a disgustingly cute couple.

Yes. You need to practice not doing that.
As Jeph has told us.
Endellion:
My guess for where they're going is pancakes :-D
