Khazgar:
So today's strip has something for everyone - Marten and Claire, but no-one being or doing anything particularly cute AND the potential for future drama. Maybe we can all calm down for the weekend now?
I'd be interested to know people's opinions on the cast's reactions to Claire coming out. Someone suggested that Faye might have an adverse reaction, but I'm not sure if I see that. To be honest, I don't think I could see anyone react badly to this, as certainly none of the inner circle have showed any prejudice in the past. But maybe I'm wrong...
I also want to see how Dora is coping, but Marten and Claire have to go to work, and Tai exploding in happiness over the two of them would be so much in character for her, so maybe we have to brace ourselves for Monday...
Indicible:
I too growl along metal videos. Even more when they are about wolves. Does that make me as weird as Emily?
explicit:
Metals songs about wolves are pretty fucking metal.
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
Actually, I could see Dora saying something rude upon being told what's up.
BenRG:
Here is a conundrum for you. How can you tell if a person who normally is weird is acting weird? Is it "bluer than usual today"? Or "she's acting normal... that's weird!" In Emily's case, the answer is, of course, "grapefruit".
This may just be me but I'm sensing a trajectory here to these three strips that, to a greater or lesser extent, allude to Claire's trans status. I'm thinking that she's going to be outed to someone by mistake or someone will guess, Marten or Emily will confirm and, either way, there will be an awkward morning at the library. I'm thinking Tai who may, unintentionally, push boundaries tactlessly in an attempt to appear accepting. Tai then possibly sets off a chain reaction by talking to Dora without permission.

Yes, Dora may have a specific issue regarding Marten dating a trans-woman, no matter how non-serious the issue seemed to me at the time. We all know Dora has a reserve of insecurity and, even though Marten was kidding, Dora might still remember and fret on whether it was a cause of problems between them.
