Gladstone:
Yeah, but not in-comic. We've really only seen Weird Emily.
Perfectly Reasonable:
With the hammer, Hannelore!
Method of Madness:
No, I know, but if she's done this before but stayed weird (and in fact, is weird all the way down), why would we expect her to change? Why would we want her to?

Why not?

Because of some very anecdotal personal experience, more than anything else, probably. People like Emily can be very exhausting for people like Clinton, from what I have seen and observed. Mind, I am not particularly worldly or good at people. It just seems to me that Emily needs someone who can keep up, mentally, physically, and emotionally to her. She seems to be very high energy. It's not even just "Oh, so wacky!" energy either. From what I've seen of Clinton, I don't think he can match that. Heaven knows I couldn't.

Hush, it's just a retcon. Because Weird Emily may have been amusing 800 strips ago, but if she's still Weird Emily 800 strips later, and another 800 after that, with no other angle to her character, then she's just boring. Might as well send her into the stacks to fight Bibliodons with Gabby so we can spend more time with Claire.
I don't mind Emily continuing to express her gleeful love of weird things, mind you, but I want to see more moments like this, too. Her "hidden depths." So I'm glad Jeph decided to retcon explore her character a bit more.
