WCDT Strips 3421-3425 (20th to 24th February 2017)
Tova:
Are we talking about Dave Willis or Voldemort?
Is there a difference?
Kugai:
It looks like a relative of the Spotted Loyena. ;D
But will this be the planitng of an idea in Claires brain.
DSL:
It's a character mement for Marten and Claire ... the nonsense wordplay that is their lurv language.
It's also the basis for improv comedy: No matter what your partner (or heckler) says, run with it. Build on it. Comic 1: "Doctor, you have to help me! My wooden leg has termites!" Comic 2: "OK, sit down and we'll have a look." (Cheap chair collapses under Comic 1.) Comic 2: "Good God, it's contagious!"
As the conductor says in a loud aside to the orchestra while theoretically talking to the audience: "No matter what happens, keep playing."

SIX-PANEL FRAME
PANEL 1
Close-up of CLAIRE throwing her pen away against a violent, clashing primary-colour background.
CLAIRE: "I've had ENOUGH!"
PANEL 2
INT: The Apartment
MARTEN and PINTSIZE are looking out of the KITCHEN at CLAIRE, who is on the couch, cradling her head in both hands; there is a pile of manuscripts on the coffee table.
MARTEN: "Claire! What is it?"
PINTSIZE: "Maybe it's that time of the grading cycle again?"
CLAIRE: "No matter how many of these damn things I mark, the Professor dumps more on me! Why did I agree to be a TA? It's driving me crazy!"
PINTSIZE: "Yup! Called it."
PANEL 3
MARTEN is now sitting on the couch with his arm around CLAIRE's shoulders.
MARTEN: "Honey, I know that you feel that you need to be the A-grade, top-average student but none of this is worth it if it makes you miserable!"
CLAIRE: "But... I need to get all the extra credit that I can for this course, Marten! You know how important this is for me!"
PANEL 4
MARTEN has now pulled CLAIRE into a one-armed hug, kissing the top of her head. CLAIRE's eyes are closed and she's obviously enjoying the contact.
MARTEN: "Seriously, Claire, you are born for this! You have so much natural talent and dedication that I don't think you need to worry about extra credit! You're gonna graduate top of the class and, before long, you'll be the stern, unapproachable head librarian that all the students fear but secretly lust for!"
CLAIRE: *Giggles*
PANEL 5
CLAIRE is now straddling MARTEN's lap and grinning at him.
CLAIRE: "Marten, that's a lovely thing to say but is this really your appreciation for me as a librarian talking or one your 'The Strict Head Librarian and Her Shy Administrator' fantasies?"
MARTEN: "There is that, in-Dewey-tably! I'm serious, though, Claire; you're going to do great so long as you don't burn yourself out! You're gonna do this!"
PANEL 6
CLAIRE is kissing MARTEN on the cheek. PINTSIZE is looking on from bottom right of panel with a despondent expression
CLAIRE: "That's so sweet, Marten! I know whose stacks I'm gonna be re-arranging tonight!"
PINTSIZE: "Huh. Looks like I'm going to be book-ing a 'bed' in the closet again tonight!"

This is the best post you've ever made.
Socky:
"Whenever Poochie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking 'Where's Poochie'?"
I'm so done with the robuts
