Neko_Ali:
Maybe they're just messy undressers? Or maybe they had already... done things... and were just relaxing and talking about their day.

Tova:
I can confirm that your mind works very differently from mine, anyway. Both in this specific instance as well as in general.

As Neko_Ali's suggested, clothes strewn everywhere does not in any way does not even remotely suggest any kind of urgent need to get undressed. At least in my case, all it suggests is that I am kind of lazy and messy.  But even if you're right, and they were in a terrible hurry to get undressed, why are you so surprised that it wasn't in order to get to "under-the-covers action?" Physical intimacy does not need to involve sex. Maybe they just wanted to get straight to the cuddling and pillow talk.

And I wasn't going to bother mentioning it, but now that I'm here - you don't even know that they're naked under there. They could be wearing briefs or boxers, for example.

I do agree that nudity indicates intimacy and trust, so at least we agree on something.

I think that when we read the comics, we're all making assumptions that we don't even realise that we're making, and yours appear to be so very very different from mine, almost every day.

Talk about over-thinking things!  But I guess that's the main function of fan forums.

BenRG:
It suddenly occurred to me that we haven't seen Clinton since the day after the party where Elliott flirted with him. I'm wondering if Faye did such a good job of slapping down his attempt to get a discount on his hand repairs that he has felt it prudent to avoid the main cast for a while.

Akima:

I don't think that a single conscious thought passed through her mind between her snapping into active mode in panel 2 and coming to a halt in Marten and Claire's bedroom.

Very likely, I think.

Meh... It looks like one of those flimsy push-button door-knob locks to me, so it's probably only ripped off the striker-plate, and a small piece from the frame, assuming it's timber. They should be able to make it good by tidying up the the splintered wood with a chisel, filling the cavity with what is sold here as "builder's bog"), shaped with a Surform plane and sanding-blocks. Then re-drill the hole in the frame, refit the striker-plate, a fresh coat of paint, and the landlord need never know (don't ask how I know this).

Given the cardboard quality of most interior doors in low-cost rental flats, I'm just surprised Bubbles didn't put her foot right through, but I suppose that would be covered by her "dynamic entry" protocols, since getting tangled in a door would be bad if there were hostile elements behind it.
