WCDT Strips 3506 to 3510 (19 June to 23 June 2017)
A Duck:
I knew this wouldn't explode as some people did. Jeph set Claire up against the same sort of roadblock that killed Marten and Dora's relationship.
And Claire apparently cleared the hurdle, WITH some nice help from Dora herself to boot!
I know I said one of these days it's nice to see more of the Secret Bakery people, but it's also really nice to go back to good old Marten for a while. Dude has been mostly absent for so long his art seems to have shifted considerably. Big eyes.
DannyboyTheDane:
It's also possible Dora told Claire that her insecurity is what led to the end of their relationship, intending it to simply be a piece of helpful relationship advice to the two (maybe to help Claire not worry as she herself had, maybe wanting Marten to be spared a similar experience again), and that Claire then, out of worry, took it to mean she shouldn't show too much of her own insecurity to Marten lest it also ruin their relationship. Dora broke off the relationship because she realised she was the one being unfair and even went (still goes?) to therapy for it, so I just find it hard to believe (not to mention unfair) if she has somehow now come to the conclusion that Marten handled it poorly (except for maybe not quite grasping the severity of it). It's going to be interesting to see if there's anything there or if it was just a turn of phrase on Claire's part to refer to the Dora/Marten situation (I highly suspect this latter possibility to be the correct one).

I think she moved in with Marten too soon.

It's hard to know, we really have no idea how long they've been together. It might be over a year, for all we know.
Still soon, sure, but not inconceivable considering their respective positions in life.

I think that, in their need for artificial drama in the strip, some people are just letting their anger control them.
