WCDT Strips 3816-3820 (27-31 August 2018)
TheEvilDog:
Tattoos are a solution.
Well, technically the ink is, comprised of a carrier and colourant. But hey semantics.
Also, I have to agree with MrNumbers, this comic kinda feels a little flat. In fact, the whole storyline thus far has felt a little contrived. It feels like too easy a solution for Claire, especially considering how stressed and anxious she was a couple of strips ago.
Tova:
Add me to the list. It feels like Jeph is trying very hard to speak through his characters instead of letting them speak.

But other than that, Mrs Lincoln... :wink:
shanejayell:
I do sometimes forget Claire is trans, so that also may be a source of anxiety.
Saying that, generally this plotline hasn't worked that well for me. Other than Pintsize and his bits. :D
Is it cold in here?:

A colloid, actually.
I wouldn't be surprised if Claire has a recurrence of the anxiety.
BenRG:
I think that it was very polite of Marten not to tell Claire that his 'privilege' was realising that Tai had written the job application form in iambic pentameter.
All that aside, two things occur to me about this strip:
* Given the number of people in various forums that have been shouting "Claire, you're projecting your fears on others", either Jeph is reading more reader feedback or we're just that good at reading his mind;
* IMO, panel 6 proves that Claire is gradually replacing Marten as Jeph's self-insert and occasional mouthpiece.Hands up who read Claire's suggested tattoo in panel 5 as 'Nobody's Perfect' and had to read the speech bubble slowly to see the joke. Ah, the wonders of the mind's ability to correct for what it expects to see rather than what is there! :-P
