I mean she is sometimes just too sickeningly sweet for me, but that’s just because I’m totally the opposite of her.
I can see her annoying the crap out of Roko.

She has a hidden darkness though

So the loss of the entire team save one doesn't preclude a unit reunion.

Fair enough. I failed to take into account that “unit” could mean more than one thing.

May be we can have a vote about the 2nd place?
Our friends are happy. I'm happy for them.

We’re only 5 months into the year. Jeph still has plenty of time to outdo himself. I admit it will be hard to do, since this climax has been building for 3 years, but you never know...

That is easily one of my top 10 all-time favourite strips from this comic. Maybe even from all comics.

I'm not sure about that scene. It *is* a great scene, but I'm not sure it's "Claire". Similarly, Emily's rant to Clinton about people thinking she's weird is great info about her character, but not necessarily how "Emily" would have said it. Yes, this is all horribly subjective, and may be simply my own misunderstanding. Some characters - PintSize - cover a huge range of expressive modes while still being themselves. Bubbles and Faye, both, have been growing and changing, but staying themselves. It's been a true delight of the comic.

I prefer to wait for the outcome of the Bermuda Clinton-Brun-Elliot triangle...
(but if two characters coming together takes 3 years, how long does three characters take; half the time or double the time?!?)
