I think Claire might have just been being goofy. *shrug*

--- Quote from: Morituri on 15 May 2017, 10:26 ---Seriously. I don't want to go on recommending a font people hate so horribly. Tell me something else - ANYTHING else - that meets universal-use conditions as well as comic sans does.

Arial.

I would say Helvetica. Arial was the ripoff so that Microsoft wouldn't have to pay for the license.
As a graphic designer I appreciated the font joke, but also recognized how incredibly played-out it is to rag on Comic Sans/Papyrus (the addition of Marker Felt was nice and is usually mentioned in the same breath, but is even more niche considering it's an OSX native font). I don't mind the punchline change as a result.
(Sorry for being a day late, but I just noticed the update.)

Nah, Claire isn't able to deliver a funny with a straight face. She always takes on this posture as if she's delivering a punchline on a sitcom and waiting for the laugh track to trigger.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 15 May 2017, 23:30 ---This is the posture of a woman who does not know if she's picked up an inert piece of metal and rubber or a bit of super-science that could explode with no obvious warning.
--- End quote ---
You mean the posture where she's holding the possibly-explody-thingy right in front of her eyes?
(TBH - the rest of your explanation/headcanon about "Claire's Hammer" made sense to me. Not this part, though)
--- End quote ---
'm going to have to watch how I type metaphors, especially ones exaggerated for comedic effect, around you, aren't I?

... but if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Such as the one on your thumb that's going to turn black and fall off in a few days.
