Smacking Marten with a dildo - of COURSE this is how Pintsize handles the situation! It's maybe surprising in hindsight how many times we have seen Pintsize not smacking people with dildos.

Well, probably not what you were expecting, but hey...
Is anyone else wondering why it's named "Ursula"?
Maybe because it's purple?
BenRG:
We all sometimes need a slap upside of the head to kick our brains out of routine. It's just that, in this apartment, the slap is sometimes surprising in its exact nature!
That aside, one of the hardest things for the human mind to handle is an alteration of routine. You do certain things, everyone is okay and you 'rinse and repeat'. Unless you're extra observant, you may completely miss things like your significant other being in actual distress! This is just one of those things and reason why keeping relationships stable and working tends to require constant work.

There's no need to "engage" Claire at all. Just sit down, shut up, and listen.

This is pretty interesting to me because you are the only one (sorry if I'm wrong and I missed someone's comment) that has framed this discussion around the fact that Claire's statement was made in response to a routine "how was your day" question. My conclusion isn't quite the same as yours, though.
It is true that it is unusual in general for people to respond to that question with anything other than some variation on "fine." It's practically expected that you do so.

While you usually wouldn't get a real answer there, especially between strangers, I consider it not just a formality between people who are close (like good friends, family and especially partners).
And even if you just meant it to be a formality, you listen to the answer, especially when it's family friends and partners. Marten didn't listen, otherwise he wouldn't have cut Claire off there and asked about dinner.

We all know Marten had a... special relationship with dildos ( https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1828 )
You definetly want to listen when Pintsize is serious. The alternatives are.... only annoying, if you're lucky.

Sure. Please don't misunderstand me. I wasn't saying Marten shouldn't have listened.
