...So... he agrees his girlfriend looks good, making him a yes-man?
Yeah, I think you need a nap, Omega

Moreso that he's reduced to a simple 'Yeah!' rather than 'She does have a point'. I'm all for brevity, but combined with the expression on his face, it's just... I dunno what it is about it that bothers me so much.
On Claire and the brother-sister dynamic, it seems like she does nothing -but- snark on him. It just gets old after a while, I guess.

I'll give that it feels weird to even have Marten in this comic. His presence bothers me because it's entirely unnecessary. I mean, I get what Jeph was trying to do when he put him there, but I feel like it messes with the joke to some degree.

Recently, this is true. I'd be interested in seeing a different dynamic between them myself, like the overprotective little brother we saw in Clinton after the marriage of the two dads. The dynamic we are seeing though doesn't bother me, because I'm that kind of guy. My default setting is snark. If I'm making fun of someone, and I'm not straight up calling them out on bullshit, it's because I like and care for them. My sister's the same way, and that's what I'm recognizing in the Clinton-Claire relationship/

Clinton can bring out the worse in Claire, but I'm not seeing it today. She's teasing him, but it's reasonable teasing. It doesn't feel like she's reverted into a 14 year old like she often does.

Either that, or he keeps getting additions and modifications to the existing tattoo 'til his arm looks like something out of HR Giger, which would be unexpectedly badass of Clinton.

It's more than that, for me. There's this, and the things with Faye calling Claire something and Marten going "I know!" with that same ridiculous look on his face. Except that then, someone was talking to him, and his response was part of the joke. Here, it's just... blegh.
