--- Quote from: Genbuthesaint on 18 Feb 2015, 02:27 ---So anyone else hope Clinton or Martens mom shows up in in the next few strips? I'm hoping Martens mom shows up more, though his dads rock as well. Heck yeah! Two dads!

Claire and Marten arrive at the Augustus residence. Claire decides to show Marten her room. When they go upstairs, Mrs A steps out of her room in a negligee and squeaks in embarrassment. Marten, being Marten, is embarrassed but cool with it.
"Spitfire, who is it?" calls a voice that is so familiar that Marten and Claire forget all propriety. They peek in the room to see Jim and Veronica in the maternal Augustine bed.
TRAUMA COEFFICIENT: 250% AND RISING

That also explains exactly why Drunk Veronica adressed Claire as Clarice (as in "it's ClaireMom's name").
Khazgar:
No-one should ever, ever, whether in a comic or in RL, find out or even try to find out anything about their parents' sex lives. Maybe that is why Marten is so laid-back - he has partaken of so much forbidden knowledge and is now completely unshockable.
Omega Entity:
Am I the only one reading Marten's "I want to keep going" in regards to progressing with the relationship, as an indication that they haven't -actually- slept together? I mean it seems to me that Claire's trying to get confirmation that Marten's ready for 'the next step' and though it could be emotionally, it sounds to me like it's regarding the physical aspect. So, that said, I don't think they've actually done the deed, just had a bit of fun.
Neko_Ali:
Keep in mind folks, the intimate moments between Marten and Claire have been no different than those between any other couple in the comic. There was lead up, a bit of clothes-on foreplay, some kissing and implication of more to come. Then a fade to black at the end of a strip, and the next day is post-coital cuddling. It has always been the same, and probably always will be. It's the things that Jeph doesn't show that we shouldn't be talking about. We don't discuss what Dora and Tai get up to. We didn't talk about what Faye and Angus liked to do. We don't speculate on what Claire and Marten do. That sort of thing is to intimate, to personal and not a place the comic goes to. The same respect should be had when discussing the comic.
Khazgar:
For me, Claire made in clear in 2892 that they had done the deed by talking about "next time". I would interpret her question to Marten from today's comic as looking for reassurance from Marten as to his behaviour up to that point. She knows him well and didn't want to feel that Marten just fell into a relationship with her by chance as part of his passivity.
She is setting herself high standards in her first relationship - she wants to be sure that Marten actively wants what she does, I.e. a caring, sharing relationship on an equal footing. And once again Marten speaks from his heart and says exactly the right thing. I could really start feeling jealous...
I also think that Marten is talking about continuing and growing in the relationship. It's not only about sex!
