Not wanting to sound pedantic, but did someone misspell "misspelled"? it's kind of amusing.
Edit: I just remembered something weird but funny.

You know, some places have thermal springs, and people built spas and wellness resorts around those. If places had spas for some time, they actually make their town names reflect that. In German, that's done by adding a "Bad" in front of the original name (Bad meaning "bath", since those places have/had public baths at the springs). Two examples would be Bad Reichenhall and Bad Vöslau.
Now, a few years ago there was an Austrian movie, that turned Fucking into one of those towns, and the movie was even named after that (technically fictional) town named... "Bad Fucking".

--- End quote ---
Claire has pulled off an apparently flawless transition - outside of her family the only people who know her status are those she has told. If anyone else has guessed, they aren't letting on. Neither she nor Clinton have been shown encountering any childhood friends suggesting they grew up elsewhere. If she turned up in the middle of Montana I don't think anyone would guess and there's not likely to be anyone to out her.
Montana's a big place and there's literally lots of room for differing attitudes. As politically conservative as it may be, some areas can be surprisingly tolerant.
BenRG:
Today's strip (4/18/19) is bittersweet in many ways. It's lovely that, as always, Claire is a page or two ahead of Marten when it comes to thinking of the future. On the other hand, it says a lot about her anxieties that she's been reluctant to bring it up. After all she and Marten have been through together, there is still a part of her that expects to come second if it comes to a choice.
I wonder if Marten will explain to her that his first reaction was that of course he'll go with her, it's just that being uprooted doesn't sound fun?
On the flip side, Marten is still sufficiently college boy to love the idea of living somewhere with a weird name just so that he can make sophomoric jokes about it!

--- Quote from: brasca on 17 Apr 2019, 22:34 ---Interesting. All this time I thought Fucksburg got it's name from Chinese restauraneur Lee Ho Fuk.
--- End quote ---
I thot it was "Ho Lee Fook".
cybersmurf:
Claire might be trapped between anxiety/overthinking, legitimate reactions and not letting it show.
