WCDT Strips 3466 to 3470 (24th to 28th April 2017)
BenRG:
I'm thinking that, on a certain level, Claire wanted a negative response. It's a bit like when she told her mother she had gone on a date with Marten and then reacted angrily to a fairly passively approving response. She wanted to be told that it was too early or too dangerous for her to be doing things like this. There is a part of Claire that very much seems to want to rebel against something... against anything really.
A lot of her frustration in today's strip might be due to the fact that she's unable to get a reaction that would enable her to stand up and shout: "Look at me! Hear me roar!"
jheartney:
Probably Claire wasn't expecting the phlegmatic response. At best there'd be affirmation ("oh sweet! Do you need any furniture?") or, if Clairemom were anything like my MIL, shocked silence. At the very least, Clairemom might just acknowledge in some way that this is a big step for Claire. After all, when Marten said it was OK for Claire to officially move in, Claire's first impulse was to run off through the cold to tell Mom.
It's as if you went out and bought a laser pointer to play with your cat, and the cat just ignored it.

'Bass of Operations.'
:laugh: :lol:
Kugai:
I like Claire's Mom shes cool. I think Claire had built up this list of arguments as to why se is going to move in with Marten, and is kinda let down she didn't get the chance to use them.
Just as an aside, would being allowed to play Clairemoms Guitar be considered getting to first Bass with her?
:-D

That was a bit of a stretch, you should retune your punnage. :claireface:

I prefer the original punchline to that comic before Jeph changed it.
