WCDT Strips 3036 - 3040 (31 August to 4 September 2015)
Method of Madness:
Emily very much enjoyed the "arms race" pun, even if she may have not actually understood the joke itself.

Dude, saying people with septum piercings look like cows (not your exact words, but that's how it reads) sounds pretty judgmental.

and if it is? getting a completely elective septum ring doesn't free one from being judged by others, just as disliking septum rings doesn't free one from being judged as an old fuddy duddy (which I apparently am :D ) It is pretty pointless to fret about people having a different opinion on the matter (in either direction).
I think that's been said better above me but I felt like putting my foot in my mouth today or something

Surely Claire is the one who'd want to be a Mountie, not May.
I mean, it's Claire. It would make about as much sense as anything else she's said for months.
This week's strips were really disappointing. Maybe next week will be better, but after this week, I'm about ready for Jeph to write Claire and Marten out.
Interlude:
Has Marten EVER reacted like this to one of Claire's puns? Don't get me wrong, I do like them. But it really throws me off seeing Marten reacting this way. Is this the power of being in a new relationship? Personally, I thought this strip was over the top. Unless I am mistaken, and Marten has always reacted like this...it's just too much of an attempt at "cuteness" to have him still bent over laughing over her joke. I get it. They are a cute couple. But hitting us over the head with it by completely changing how the characters act is just throwing me out of the comic world.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure my husband laughed more at my stupid jokes when we first started dating. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old lady now. And jealous that I can never think of any good puns on the spot. Haha.
BenRG:
It's actually the first time that Marten has reacted this way to Claire's puns. Although he has liked her jokes before, this is the first time he's reacted this way.
Of course, you never know what's going to tickle someone's funny bone. I've been reduced to helpless tears by jokes that barely make others blink. Humour is one of those uniquely subjective experiences in that way. One person's droll or even unfunny is one's pure crystal of comedy!
The lesson? Just because you don't get it, doesn't make it unfunny and don't look down on those who do get it!
