Oh, yes it can! Although I have to note that Jim and his ex don't seem to be using Sam as the rope in a tug-of-war. Far too many couples do.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 16 Apr 2019, 23:22 ---Something tells me that Claire has, since she tore apart a load of official documentation because she "didn't take orders from home wreckers" and nearly blew everything, gone to a lot of effort to teach herself to control her temper. It's sort of a new thing for her to be so restrained and I'm wondering if she was even really that anxious or if she was just feeling that she had to make out that she was that anxious for some reason!

I hesitated to post this since I am not a trans woman, but I was reminded by Claire's reaction (last panel) of how TERFs (and probably others, but I've seen it mostly from TERFs) will take any expression of anger from trans women, especially physical, and argue that as violence that stems from them being "male." Like, a lot of trans woman I know are terrified of expressing anger or doing anything that will get them labeled as "dangerous," no matter how unjust that label is. So when Claire apologizes for being "violent" here, I sort of see that anxiety mixed in. That connection might definitely not be intended, and it could be more about Claire's personal progress in controlling her temper or, more simply, for humor. It just stirs up a lot of familiarity to conversations I've heard in the past.

--- Quote from: Mr Intrepid on 17 Apr 2019, 06:58 ---Since it will take some time before Claire finds out for sure (oh, hell. She did great) that particular arc can go onto a simmer. Jeph does strips full of feels, Tai and Dora work towards a yes, and maybe we see Hanners or others drop in for a visit. Call me a cockeyed optimist, but I'd like some happy endings.

I desperately want Hannelore to come back for the wedding, maybe to be Dora's witness/maid of honour.
--- End quote ---
I don't know, I'd think that'd be something for Faye, rather.

Claire is so punk, today!
Is it cold in here?:
If there's a Fucking, Austria, why not a Fucksburg, Montana?
