After going back to http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3087, I think I like the way Claire looks now. More adult, a bit more self assured. I'm not sold on the square frames, but I like them better than the round. I kind of want a "glasses montage", to see what she would look like in other styles, like horn rimmed , oval, or cat's eye. And in different colours, with different designs Harley Davidson makes some awesome bright blue frames with flames on the side. I'd love to see a Claire in them.

So, I'd have said that Emily has never had "bangs". Have I been understanding the term incorrectly?

Nope, that seems about right.

I read "bangs" as "straight fringe" (and my dictionary concurs) - but I wouldn't risk using the word...
(Also: s/useage/usage/ :-P)

You people and your single-season states. Here in Arkansas, we have ALL THE SEASONS. Sometimes in the course of a single week. It was 80 degrees the day after Christmas, 54 and blustry the day after that, 44 and storming and flooding the day after that. Next week, snow and probably a few beach days.
I don't think they're plugs. I've seen a lot of large disk earrings, though usually more in a clip-on variety.

Oh, that's like here in Cantabria, Spain then. At least the part that's closest to the sea - those closer to the mountains have like 2 seasons: winter and basketball.
On the topic, I was doing some reinforcement lessons in summer for those who failed certain courses. I had to explain those students, with detailed examples, a whiteboard and about 30 minutes of speech, that two numbers took up more space than one number. Claire being mad is surprisingly tame compared to what I did that day.
EDIT: In case this wasn't clear, these were also university students, second year of a computer science degree.

Ooops, yes, spelling fail. Sorry.

Don't get me started. :-D
