That does seem to be the most likely case yes. Probably because both are busy in school so they don't have a lot of time to get together. Add to that the fact that their friends circles are more adjacent than overlapping and that it seem Clinton goes to a school near, but not in Northampton. He's mentioned several times when visiting that he needs to catch a bus to get home. That's how he met Brun after all.  Since everything seems to be pretty much in walking distance for the cast, that means he doesn't live here, but close enough that he can hop on a regular bus to visit his friends and family in Northampton often.

Is it cold in here?:
Sorry: Decent Human Being.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 24 Jun 2018, 23:21 ---Today's strip is so cute, primarily because it's nearly an archetype of Claire and Clinton's relationship. They're always bickering but they're always close and, like it or not, they're always the first one the other goes to when they have big news (mostly, I suspect, because they enjoy seeing the other's reactions). Now... it occurs to me that Claire has definitely been making plans for when Marten pops the question... and so, I suspect, has Jeph.

"When"?

I would vote Marten to be Least Likely to Propose Marriage to ANYONE in this strip.

--- End quote ---
This. Many times over. Marten is the poster boy for "let's just leave things as they are."

--- End quote ---

On the other hand, at least once, Marten has been the one to take the initiative and push for the relationship.  When he talked to Claire the morning after the head-skritching incident, that was hardly "leaving things as they are".  Having sex for the first time was kind of a spontaneous reaction to Faye's near-death experience, and Claire moving in was a "huh, guess you already have, might as well make it official" thing, but there's no reason to think that if, say, Faye or Dora or Clinton put the idea in Marten's head by asking if he had any thoughts about it, he wouldn't do the same thing he did once the idea of dating Claire took root and go after it.

I'm not saying I think it's going to happen any time soon, but Claire seems to like things being done a certain way, and I wouldn't be surprised if she were the type who expected a man to propose to her instead of the other way around.  I can see Marten being the one to propose, just not without a little push from a friend.

fayelovesbubbles:
Wow! Clinton having a totally normal reaction to hearing that two people he doesn't really know that well started dating! And of course he would understand that yes, it's happened before, and no, it's not a big deal.

I almost feel like they've switched and Claire is being slightly robophobic here. Clinton is like, okay, and? As he should be.

Now can we just give Clinton HIS fairytale ending? Like, yesterday?

DaiJB:
I love Clinton's triumphant stance in the last panel today - do you get the impression he doesn't win many arguments with Claire?   :laugh:

I put 'Tai' in the poll, but that is only in the regular cast - I think Faye might have reason to worry about her mother...

What I really want to see is Marigold's response when she finds out - she just recovers from "The Bone Zone" last week and now her over-active imagination has a whole new kind of relationship to explore...  :-D
