Zebediah:
I'm still hoping his name is "Claudius Tiberius Augustus". :-D
Platypodes:
Has anybody got a notion of how much time has elapsed since Clinton and Emily's date?

--- Quote from: HannahRose on 29 Jun 2015, 00:53 ---Whenever Claire is even a little mean to Clinton, there are inevitably people who accuse her of going overboard. My opinion of these people, of course, is that they are probably only children. lol
Granted yes I know that not every pair/set of siblings is like this, but usually when you've been stuck living with someone relatively close to your age for most of your life, and they in turn have been stuck living with you for all of theirs, it doesn't matter how much you care about each other, you *are* going to get on each other's nerves, sometimes a whole heck of a lot. And yes, the catty banter is part of that wonderful package deal. :P

No, I just treat my younger brother like a person, you know? Yes, younger siblings are annoying, but Clinton's 21 and Claire's 24, and they're not living together any more. Clinton's living on the campus while Claire still lives at home. At this stage, sibling relationships change - you don't see each other that much any more, both are out of puberty, parents don't have that much influence any more, so you can actually enjoy the time you spend together because you don't have to spend it together at all. So, if they were 10 and 13, those insults would be normal and very usual for a sibling relationship, but they are adults now, with responsibilities and limited time. Why would you choose to spend that time with somebody who just insults you?

THANK YOU. I'm a younger sibling that less than a year ago moved out of my mom's place so we are all independent now. I fucked up big time several times with my sis and my mom back when we were all living together and the chemistry changes dramatically once everyone living on their own. It's insane!
I now have the best relantionship I could ask for with both of them (same with dad but he lives even further away from me, hence why I didn't mention it)... I wouldn't spend time with them at all if they were acting like douches. Clinton has never shown any signs that he enjoys even slightly that kind of behaviour from his sister.

I would hazard a guess of a couple of days, no more than a week.
Penquin47:
I live a hundred miles away from my parents and older brother. By Texas standards this is not quite next door.
In middle school and high school, due to my fucked-up mental health, my brother was my best friend and at times my ONLY friend. We're still very close.
We have conversations like the one in today's strip ALL THE TIME. I'm 32, he's 34. Some siblings never outgrow it.
