Brintoliot is a splendid word. I vote we make it canon.

Consider it done.
On another note, I still have the pit-scars on the inside of each elbow from the years of plasma donations when I was in college. $25 for two donations a week ($10 for the first, $15 for the second) helped keep me going through those years, and gave me a couple of hours of reading time each week.
It's 35 years later, but at least when I need blood drawn, he phlebotomist has a target.

I'm just glad to see them back in the comic. Hopefully they'll work out the current difficulty they're having as a couple, and actually start working on life stuff without hopping whatever bus Hanners is on.

--- Quote from: Zebediah on 29 Aug 2018, 08:11 ---I’m fairly certain that this was a case of Jeph not remembering the minutiae of comics he drew years ago. It’s happened before. Strange as it may seem, Jeph doesn’t seem to be as obsessed with QC as some of his fans are.

I dunno, Jeph usually is pretty good in dropping the other shoe later on, as he did with Hannelore going to May in the "Winslow's privilege" arc.
Yes, Jeph may simply have forgotten some details from long ago, but I find it equally plausible that Claire ends up discussing her job prospect anxiety with Tai, with the latter ending up pointing out to Claire that she was unfairly labeling Marten's job as a case of privilege.

Yay, I think this is the first time I have ever called anything correctly! :laugh:

By the way, I am glad I did not post too soon after Jeph started posting here last week.
When I initially read his posts, it sounded an awful lot like nobody was allowed to have a bad opinion of Claire and as if he hated the discussion surrounding privilege in the comic in general.
After re-reading the thread, I'm pretty sure he posted as a reaction to 1-2 specific users, and his comment regarding "bad opinions about Claire" was also about a specific post (I believe about her using her trans-status as a disability?).
After all, I believe Jeph intends us to view and discuss every character equally, including discussing possible behavioral imperfections as they may occur (which they do, for every human being).
Thrillho:
Jeph historically has been fairly relaxed about criticism of the comic and characters because he writes them as people with flaws. You picked up on the correct issue he had.
