{edit} I'm so used to that that I find it odd that people still use tanked hot water for showering.

Because electric showers are limited in power, the water is either tepid, or the flow is feeble. Speaking as one whose ideal shower is a scalding Niagra (sod the carbon, I more than make up for it by cycling everywhere) heat-on-demand electic is little better than one of those solar heated, black plastic bag showers for camping.

I initially misread today's title as "co-ogling."

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've had this same thought. I think the comic needs to really dive in to Marten's aimlessness, and Claire seems to be the perfect vehicle for that.
--- Quote from: BenRG on 10 Feb 2016, 23:25 ---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.

Orrrr, Faye's gonna realize that she's practically the only single one around and go boy-hunting.
