....is just a word used in contrast to the word trans. It's not used in any other context. It isn't a negative to be cis.
If you're taking offense, I'd say you're likely reading it wrong.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
Gotta admit, I do want to see some of that other stuff Clef was talking about missing... but I think they'll eventually get here. Maybe they'll get here 'tomorrow' in-comic time. Maybe we'll timeskip. Maybe we'll have more of this style comic for a while, but the other stuff will, indeed, come.
Me, myself, I think that final panel in today's comic might just be the final note for this type of strip and it will either go unsaid from here on out, or we'll get all that other interesting stuff.

This. There will be plenty of time for Claire and Marten drama later, but right now I personally feel like the current pattern of Claire & Marten cuteness trading off with Faye drama is actually working quite well in ensuring that the comic is not dominated by one or the other.
DrClef:
--- Quote from: snarkyone on 19 Feb 2015, 00:17 ---DrClef, you make some very good points. But I make one to challenge all of what you said. Yet. Everything you said is something I think we all expect, but it hasn't happened yet. So in this regard, while many agree, patience is what is called for. Especially if you binge read the comic and are still somewhat new. You want more, we all do. Many relationships start out in that haze of surrealism and blinders. Why would this one would be any different? Give it time. I am sure there will be drama ahead. If you've read since the beginning, no upside is without it's down.

I don't want drama. I like Claire and Marten being a stable couple. I just want them to act like a pair of adults instead of a couple of starry eyed teenagers. Have some actual conversations instead of long-winded monologues about how perfect the relationship is and how Claire might be worried but they are sure there will be no problems whatsoever and everything is wonderful and hunky dory and bleh. Talk like human beings instead of bad fanfic writers deciding that the best way to show what a character is thinking is to have them explain, at length, exactly what their emotions are.
I mean, compare this to the other couple whose relationship quickly became sexual after the young woman walked out of her bedroom to find her love interest with a plate of pancakes in the kitchen. Dale and Marigold didn't go into long-winded rants about how they've put aside their differences and worked past their problems and were now friends and lovers. Dale just needed to cook some pancakes and get dragged off to bed by Marigold.
I guess that's the crux of my problem. Jeph has spent a lot of time TELLING us that Claire and Marten are a perfect couple, but they have DONE precious little to show that.

You and I must use different definitions of what a monologue is.
