WCDT Strips 3046-3050 (14th to 18th September 2015)
Rghfrgl:
I think the dear punchline could have just as easily been dropped by Dora or pre breakup Angus, but it's certainly core to the relationship that Claire's the younger one and still growing up a bit/coming out of her shell and that Marten's support is helping her do that.
Father's a bit much though. Marten doesn't have the authority figure aura for that, even if he was technically her boss.
BenRG:
Am I the only one who thinks that this mini-arc has a televisual 'three-act' feel to it? You could divide it into a standard sitcom episode format? Something like this:
Pre-Credits Teaser - Strip 3037
Act 1 - Strips 3038 to 3041 - 'Poof' makes a lovely segment ender and has a The Simpsons bait-and-switch feel to it;
Act 2 - Strips 3042 to 3045 - Dora's intervention of common sense is another perfect act ending moment;
Act 3 - Strips 3046 to 3048 - Resolution in act 3, as always;
Epilogue - Strip 3049 - Nice closing or post-credits joke scene.
A Duck:
This mini-arc felt like QC in the 1000s. I liked it. Maybe it's Canada?
(Not to say I don't like the usual style of writing now)

Claire basically did the same thing to Marten when they were talking to Veronica in the library a few dozen strips back. I just think it's part of their dynamic that they like taking on an ultra-mature posture and tease each other with 'sage advice'.

It just always reminds me of Clairemom.
Kugai:
Clinton would definitely have a seizure.
