Tova:
Heh. I keep todol lists. Because my short-term memory is terrible.
I am otherwise nothing like Hanners.
Oenone:
Lol Clinton needs to get his finger out of her face; his body language is pretty disproportionately aggressive.
Gyrre:

Still, it seems a little aggressive.

If only there were better ways (visually) to denote the tone, volume, timbre, and pitch of a character's voice in person.
(I may not always pick up on the visual social cues, but I'm pretty good at the audio ones).
BenRG:
Y'know, I've been trying to interpret Brun's expression in panel 4. Shocked at having run into someone, yes but, oddly enough, a little frightened (although that's gone by panel 5, mostly because she has to focus on Clinton's little detour into Crazyland).
I just feel that Brun has more than a few problems with crowds and situations where she hasn't got everything perfectly organised and categorised. Really, she's not sure she is entirely safe when she's walking around in a crowd of strangers, especially when doing something non-routine.
Additionally, notice what Clinton says about 'Claire laughing' at his misadventure. I think that's a reminder about how fraught and uncertain their relationship is; he expects her to mock him for his misfortune. FWIW, I think that she would be more likely to try to turn it into some kind of weird joke in an attempt to cheer him up but that may just be me.
heyjames4:
In panels 2 and 5 Clinton & Brun look like they're the same height, but the way panels 3 and 4 are framed it looks like she is looking up at him and he is looking down at her.
Does that communicate something about their emotional states?
Clinton's posture and face very expressive the past few days, he's going through a range of emotions, though I can't always tell which ones are happening or why.
Come to think of it, in the past few months of storylines the characters faces/postures/actions are become more expressive all the time. kudos to Jeph on continuing improvement in his technique.
