God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship: Thoughts on Marten, Claire, and the Future
Gladstone:
Yeah, we'e talked about that one already, both here and in this thread. It can either be seen as a sign of Marten's character changing over roughly 1-1/2 to 2 years in-comic, or just a risqué joke that seemed funny 9-ish years/2300+ strips ago but that Jeph would never tell now. Like a few other jokes in the really early comics, for that matter. As Samuel Goldwyn once said, we've all passed a lot of water since then.

:laugh: That's a Goldwynism I haven't heard before, thanks!
The one I quote most is "A verbal contract ain't worth the paper it's written on."
Gladstone:
I wanted to add "Don't talk to me while I'm interrupting" to my signature, but Google can't decide if it's from Goldwyn or Michael Curtiz.
Aziraphale:
One of my favorite Goldwyn anecdotes: he was watching a test screening of a film, and told the director it was 37 minutes too long.* The director asked how he knew it was exactly 37 minutes and he replied, "That's when my ass started to hurt."
*I'm paraphrasing. It's been a while.

A few days ago he linked me this comic, thought it was an interesting bit of foreshadowing considering the relationship of Claire and Martin.

Yea, now that comic would be considered "transphobic" because "WOW what's wrong with being born a man and transitioning?!?!! And it's really transphobic to say "born a man" because if they're trans*, they were ALWAYS a woman, and just had a gender slapped on them by a transmisogynistic doctor you BIGOT".
Strange world, huh? I'm honestly surprised Jeph hasn't gone back and deleted that comic or replaced that bit with something more tolerant like he's done before with another comic.
