* Did Claire really not recogise a hammer?

*dancing* It's all about the jokes, 'bout the jokes!
BenRG:
Yeah, I prefer to think up a plausible in-universe explanation that explains events whilst being at least somewhat funny but not requiring the character to suddenly become an imbecile just for the sake of a punchline.
Tova:
Yes, I know. Maybe she just hasn't ever seen a ball-peen hammer before.
Honestly, though, it's a funny and there are probably at least three plausible explanations that don't involve her being an idiot. Maybe I'm weird, but I just laugh at the funny and don't really care which explanation is the "right" one (probably just whichever one you want).
pwhodges:
Claire is not being an idiot by questioning something that looks familiar but in an unfamiliar setting; she is keeping her mind open to the possibility that not all is what it might seem.
ElsaStegosaurus:
Yeah, basically what you said, Ben. I just read it not as Claire going dumb, but her getting wrapped up in the super magical high tech of the of the other machines shown in panels 2 and 3. Surely this cannot be just an ordinary hammer, this must be a special hammer that actually shoots lasers and dispenses robot candy.
