Mr. Doctor:
Clinton will give her crap? Jeez, it really doesn’t look like Claire sees how much Clinton cares for her. Specially true given how much more assertive he was at picking up on Claire freaking out and wanting her to talk about it than Marten.

BenRG:
From the start of this extended Claire character arc, I've felt that Claire's anxiety is more about her own self-expectations than anything else. She's simply projecting her fears of failure and her sudden uncertainty about her future onto everyone else. She would be the one disappointed in her, not anyone else. I think Marten should be applauded for not using the dreaded "that's silly" counter-argument, even though Claire's fears aren't entirely reality-based.

Regarding Marten the fighter, the only victory that Jeph has recorded was his defeat of a kung-fu monk. In that case, Marten had the element of surprise on his part and I doubt the monk in question was ready for skillet-fu. :-P Seriously, this cements in my mind that Marten is primarily a support-class like a Minstrel/Bard rather than a front-line character!

Yes, as everyone here has probably already realised, there is no fate worse than being lectured by Bubbles and being told that she is disappointed in you! Truly a fate worse than death!

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 23 Aug 2018, 20:58 ---I was thinking about why Bubbles would step in because Marten asked, and then tried to put words on what their relationship is.

Bubbles is sort of like a sister in law to Marten.

--- End quote ---

And they all live together, too, but it's really easy to forget as we haven't the couples interact often.

BenRG:
It's pretty clear (from the one-off strip where Marten and Bubbles were doing the laundry and Bubbles crushed Pintsize's head) that Bubbles and Marten have got over their rough start and are friends. I don't think that Faye and Claire will ever be close (mostly due to their old squabble about who is the house's alpha female), they seem to have reached some kind of working relationship too.

I'm hoping for a strip when everyone is watching a horror movie and all the humans end up hanging onto Bubbles for protection and comfort after a particularly effective jump scare.
