BenRG:
Wow! Clinton is under stress here, isn't he? I mean, look at him in panel 1! He's either ready to start hitting things, ready to burst into tears or both!

Mrs A is so sweet, though. I mean, it's obvious that she's just trying to be a good mother and a good person here but she's stumbled into a fairly complex emotional knot and her well-meaning attempt to 'talk up' Clinton to Brun was neither welcome nor helpful (at least for Clinton). What was even less helpful for him was her to attempt current college kid slang but make it sound like they were made-up words that she didn't understand (when I suspect that she actually gets it very well).

No, I don't think that Clinton was planning to 'hook up' with Brun tonight. Not until his mother suggested it, at least. Now he's mentally kicking himself.

Okay, so some random thoughts:

* "I should go" is Cmdr Shepard's standard exit line from dialogue. Is Jeph trying to tell us something about Brun and RPGs as a teacher for social interaction?
* Bonus point for noticing the picture of younger Clinton and Claire on the wall - I wonder how old it is?
* Also, Claire's graduation photo is peeking out from behind Clinton's head;
* "She seems nice" means "Oh, goody! I'm two for two!"

That picture can't be too old. Something in it suggests that Claire had already started her transition when that pic was taken.
And it is canon that she started during her first year in college. Not that we should necessarily expect consistentency at that level of detail. That pic is, after all, conveying more important things also.

But, has Claire graduated (from college)? Her TA duties do suggest that she might be in grad school now? What about Clinton?
The graduation photo could be his also. Shorter hair, at least!

i suspect keys, right by the door like that.

Near Lurker:
If she started transitioning during her first year of college, she couldn't have been going to Smith then, since it's an all-girl school.  She might have transferred during her undergraduate course, but more likely she got in as a grad.

JoeCovenant:

Ohh Clinton...

Don't let your MOTHER suggest you walk the-girl-you-secretly-adore home!
And at *least* give Brun an, "Are you sure? It's no problem!", before letting her walk home alone!

Kids these days........
