Kugai:
Ahh, nice to see that Claire hasn't lost all perspective


Yes, I was being sarcastic

osaka:
CLAIRE: "What the hell ass balls?"
MARTEN: "STOP STEALING MY LINES".

Now seriously, that's a plot twist if I ever saw one.

Rghfrgl:
I liked these last few comics a lot.

BenRG:
I wonder if this will be the prelude to a sequence of comics where Tai makes it her mission to 'loosen up' Claire (something Claire neither wants nor appreciates)? I'm going to lay down my marker that this will include Claire meeting Delilah and there being an argument over her 'using' Marten, which may, in turn, lead to more details about Claire's absentee father. Certainly, if Claire and Tai bond to any degree, I can see Claire telling her that she's trans.

FWIW, Jeph doesn't seem to be following any long-term arcs at the moment. He seems to be satisfied just doing short stories in the universe (the Emilton date, Claire's assessment and so on). Is this a serious change in direction or will we see him going back to longer arcs in the future?

neurocase:
I'm hardcore with Claire on this one. Maybe it's because Tai has always annoyed me, but her comment in panel four today seems unnecessary. She couldn't just say "Oh, I know her!"? She has to specifically mention that's where she gets her pot?
It just makes her seem all the more useless, and her entire attitude has always seemed to reek of a stereotypical overly-hedonistic pothead. I don't care when people smoke in the privacy of their own homes or whatever, but it seems that 90% of people on the grass can't shut the fuck up about it, and seem to make a point of mentioning it or slipping it into conversation whenever they can. This is what Tai seems to do, and since a while after her introduction, it's all she's been.

Oh, the library hasn't fallen apart while she's been working there? That doesn't mean she's done a good job. It means she's coasted enough and used the people around her enough to get by doing as little as possible to maintain functionality. I mean shit, when the interns first showed up, she openly admitted that she was high as hell, and was going to go watch cartoons. So she's a college student? Boo fucking hoo. That's not an excuse for being completely unprofessional. I honestly want to see her brought down to earth HARD. She won't go the way of Faye; that drama-horse has been beaten to death already. But I want to see her lose her job or Dora because of her habits so that she straightens out. She was likeable at first; those literary puns she made during Marten's interview, and her insistence on meeting Jimbo stand out as positives, but now she's just frustrating, and frankly, I find strips with her, especially ones where it's all 'hurrdurr Tai is high lulz lulz lulz' tiring.

So A+ to Claire. I don't want to see her bullied into "loosening up". She's driven, responsible, and focused, and to people like that, people like Tai can be understandably infuriating.
