The sculptor that is. I bet the turtles were all about the dick jokes off panel.

False. Apparently, it's a thing that his nude sculptures/drawings all were, uh, not so well-endowed, to the point where this came up in my art history course.
And BenRG, I can't imagine Jeph going there, to use Claire's transgender status as a punchline, least of all in a pattern joke like this. Faye's going to find out somehow, but it's way too serious/emotionally-charged a conversation to break down to wrap up with a two word-bubble response.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 31 Mar 2015, 00:15 ---Basically, Thursday is an only-semi angry argument with Claire and Faye exchanging biting quips but ends with Claire basically outing herself to Faye. It ends with Faye bursting into the kitchen whilst Marten is trying to detach Pintsize's 'attachment'. "Dude, your girlfriend is a trans!"
The last panel is Faye's shocked expression as Marten replies "I know!" from off panel.

Can't see Jeph going there. And I really can't see Faye reacting to the news about Claire (if she ever finds out) with anything more than a casual shrug. Hey, as long as Marty's cool with it, that's fine by her.

Indeed. Perfectly valid from a drama and storytelling standpoint. Problem is it goes against the message that Calire's status shouldn't matter especially when it comes up in the forum in every discussion about Claire's future in the story. Claire could invite Faye to the library to look at art books, she could crack joke that her brother loves his robot hand so much maybe he'd love a robot dong, she could ask if Faye's making the cock-golem from Gamers: Hands of Fate, they could gripe together about fathers being selfish and going away, they can each grab a metal dildo and do a little phallus fencing (cock fight?) Or Hanners can show up with the little hats.
Edit: typo, grip to gripe.

Statistically, though, someone in the QC cast should be put out by Claire's trans status. I could easily see one of the regulars not being comfortable with Claire. (Agreed, though, it won't be Faye- it'd be someone else like Sven or Marigold). While it shouldn't be an issue, there are still too many people who don't get it. While Jeph does a great job showing us these positive interactions, he could make just as strong a message by showing the sh*t a trans person has to deal with. He's done it before with the Anthro-PC's (May encountering robo-racism), so it wouldn't be so out of place.
CaptainFish:
If Faye was on her game, this would totally be the clever characters snarking at each other I enjoy so much out of QC.
STEP YOUR GAME UP FAYE! I dunno, start calling her Claire-bear or something...
snubnose:
Why is it "just superglued" ?
Is it possible to get rid of superglued stuff ?!?
