I have to say that this strip softened me a little on Claire. I'm still not her biggest fan, because I've said before that I find her a bit immature and not that personally interesting, but it was very nice to see that she took consideration of the situation as it is over her initial discomfort, because this is a very serious situation. Faye needs her friends right now more than ever. Claire's actions show trust in Marten (and Faye as well), and I think that knowing when it's better for you to be scarce is a very good social skill to have.
Interestingly for me, I looked up what a "sook" was, and the example on Urban Dictionary's top result is: "sam had a sook when claire wouldn't sleep with him." Claire has a secret life! That's been the problem this whole time!
TRVA123:
Despite what my posts over the last few months might imply, I really like Claire as a character.
However, just as your friend suddenly becomes insufferable when they start dating a new person, I found Claire (and Marten) suddenly insufferable once the relationship began.
Hopefully this comic signifies a turning point.

This would have been great for the pun alone. Claire especially would appreciate. Alas, it is not to be.

I absolutely love Claire in panel 3. She is adorable.

Well-handled, Claire.
I agree with everyone who is predicting The Talk Part 2: The Talkening, and that the upcoming 3000th strip does provide a great opportunity for shaking things up even further. I'm enjoying the character development for Marten, and hope that Faye undergoes some as well. On a meta level, I think her character needs it to remain fresh and sympathetic, but strictly talking in-universe, observing these people from behind the fourth wall as if they were real...well, she still really needs it. It's not like these issues can be dealt with in a finger-snap, but not only is she still reaching for the bottle, she's still defaulting to threats and abrasiveness to get things done. The night in ER highlighted the problems with the former, but the latter is still a big issue, too.
On the other hand, this is also a prime opportunity for Jeph to troll everyone with a bunch of beat panels before Faye asks "We good?" and Marten replies "We good", and then that's that...but I'm guessing he'll avoid that temptation. ;)
