Indeed. She's learning, but she's not quite there yet.
neurocase:
Hopefully this leads into a mini-arc where Marigold learns that it's actually okay to hang out with teenagers, to quell the chattering, panicked Americans who seem completely baffled by the idea that you can hang with people outside your age bracket and have it not be creepy/a huge deal.

Font Change.

FWIW (and I've noticed that David M Willis's Dumbing of Age seems to have this problem too), I get the impression that some people genuinely can't get their heads around the idea of two characters in fiction being close friends or even just moderately close associates without it being either immediately motivated by sexual attraction or an inevitable precursor to a sexual encounter. I actually find the fans who express this attitude infinitely more creepy than the characters about whom they're speculating. There is such thing as 'friendship', you know! Shipping can be strange!
I'm wondering if tomorrow will be Sam going home to find Marten and Claire in the lounge. It isn't beyond the borders of possibility that Veronica has moved in with Jim and that they have invited Marten and Claire over for a 'family dinner'. Sam will, like any teenager, probably be seriously annoyed by being told that, no, she can't take a rain check. Instead, she must go upstairs, wash her face and hands and put on nice clothing before sitting down with their house-guests for a civilised family meal.
A boring story arc? Not at all. Anyone who has read Oscar Wilde or Noel Coward will know that these 'comedy of manners' scenarios where you have the characters confined together whilst constrained in a very formal and regulated social environment can be one of the funniest you can imagine.
[EDIT]
I just noticed how scrambled the point of this post was and spent a while making it clearer

Is it just me, or is Marigold Faye's twin in the last panel?
