WCDT Strips 3151 to 3155 (8 - 12 February 2016)
BenRG:
I'm wondering precisely where Jeph is taking this. We've now seen two very strong, enduring and mature couples. I'm wondering if he's setting a baseline against which we can judge other pairings in the strip.
Meanwhile, I think that it is an indication of how good Dora has been for Tai that she's no longer feeling the need to dress down in any way. That said, today's conversation may lead to her working out more. :wink:

I hope it'll be something about Marten's career path. We haven't learned anything about Marten's situation since the time skip, so there's no way of knowing yet if he's still working at the library and practicing his music, but I'm willing to guess yes to the former and maybe/maybe not for the latter. Meanwhile, Claire's still moving forward. She's finished her internship, is now a TA, still likely pursuing a career in library science, still has a set goal in mind and is working on achieving it. It seems highly unlikely that she would be content to watch Marten continue treading water as he's been doing. Not that she's going to turn into a nag about it either, but I can't see her not gently nudging him in the direction he wants to go, especially regarding his music. (For the record, I assumed that Faye's firing would be a catalyst in that--her struggle to find a new job and pay rent, and Marten's lack of savings after buying a new guitar, would lead him to get more serious about the band...which didn't happen.) There didn't seem to be much concern about The Future when Marten was with Dora; she seemed content to be a small business owner with an aimless boyfriend, but I can't see Claire being the same way. This relationship has the potential to be more important than Marten/Dora was, but there hasn't been much movement so far.
And there is plenty more to explore about Claire. I still want to learn more about her life outside of the group. More about her family (mom especially, not just Clinton), other friends in the area, favorite hangouts around town (bookstores!). A week or two of day-in-the-life strips similar to the Momo story would be nice.

I believe that at this point, her brother's name is officially "Clin-ton".
Martin:
In my head todays comic has the title "Relationship-Goals" :-D
I realy like the background. Is this Tais home or do Tai an Dora now life togehter? So many exciting questions since the timeskip. ^^
BenRG:
It suddenly occurs to me that Dora seems to be very attracted to 'butch' women. I recall that, upon her very first meeting with Tai, she called her an 'adorable little butch'. That's why I wonder if Tai may choose to emulate some of Faye's new aesthetic.
No real conclusions to draw from this little nugget, it's just an aspect of the character.
