Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT Strips 3306 - 3310 (12th to 16th September 2016)
Tova:
Over-analysis aside (has anyone analysed our tendency to over-analyse yet?), if some aspect of the story breaks your willing suspension of disbelief, I guess there are no words that are ever going to change that.
On the other hand, it doesn't really need to be justified either. Trying to rationalise it is merely inviting debate. "That broke my suspension of disbelief" would have done. But, I suppose, where is the fun in that? :mrgreen:
While I'm here:

Note the rest of my comment: "with the caveat that Jeph is obviously more interested in funny storylines than in world-building. If the storylines are funny enough, we don't care about how unlikely they are."

That comment wasn't aimed at you, obviously. It was more of a general remark/observation.

Query: What if the keyboardist also happens to turn into a vehicle?

If Jeph isn't just pulling our legs and Claire is on her fifth Mocha, then I strongly suspect that she's going to have visibly blurred edges and betalkingextraquicklyandinahigher-pitchevoice right now.
It's interesting that Clinton specifically says that Claire has a hard time differentiating 'helping' from 'manipulating'. One can't help but wonder how long this has been the case and why it came about. More fall-out from the example in life given to them by their absentee father? Was he manipulative and accidentally gave young Claire the idea that this was the way to work with people?
wlewisiii:
Possible.
Or, perhaps, it's the opposite? Perhaps their father had no kind of hands on in their home life? This might, then, give her the idea that interfering might be the path to making things better despite how often it fails?
Claire is a difficult character for people other than the author to deal with. Frankly we are best served by letting that author to do so.

From only five cups of coffee? Five cups is not that excessive.
