WCDT Strips 3601-3605 (30rd October - 3rd November 2017)
shanejayell:
New comic up!
Nice to see Marten and such again. And yeah, I COULD see Faye tying Sam to a drill press...
zisraelsen:
Lots of answers in today's comic. Sam wasn't lying about playing hookie, it actually was taco night! Faye didn't take the tip that mohawk-bot left Sam! It was a drill press that Sam jump-tackled earlier! Marten and Claire still exist!
brasca:
So that settles one argument as to whether Sam was playing hoodie.
I’d like to suppose the previous storyline segues into a story about Jim and Veronica’s domestic life.
BenRG:
The Bean/Reed Family Dinner - Proof that, in the QCverse, there ain't no such beast as 'normal'! Poor Jim must despair as he increasingly realises that there is absolutely no prospect of his life fitting into quick and easy categories anymore; he's just got involved with too many completely unique and hard-to-categorise personalities!
Seriously, I find myself wondering if this week is the time when Veronica helps Jim realise that Sam isn't just 'having fun'. Rather, she's seeking out experiences that she feels that she needs because the ones presented to her so far all seem lacking in some way. I think that she's one of those personalities who really, really don't fit into 'average' boxes. As much as she needs a general education, her mind-set and aspirations are most unlikely to lead her to a 'normal' degree or job. She's a unique spirit with a unique perspective on the world and I think that she's heading for a unique outcome.
On an artistic level, It's pretty clear that Jeph struggled with the opening panel and I can see why. You've got five characters at a relatively difficult angle all at different points from the 'camera' AND which need to be fit around scenery in the right way. FWIW, he managed quite well although I think that the table's legs are too short.

It's 'hooky', not 'hoodie'. 'Hoodie' is what Marten is wearing.
[EDIT]
Another possibility for this week's strips is that we're going to have a little Veronica-Claire and Veronica-Marten interaction. Not only will this let Jeph catch up with what Veronica's been doing recently, she's the obvious 'narrative poke' to get Marten and Claire talking about the next step in their relationship.
SubaruStephen:
A drill press is a horrible thing to tie someone to.... a metal chair is much more secure.
