And I don't know if anyone who saw the preview even noticed, although everything else probably got picked apart.

It's taken me two days to realize the art shift isn't a guest comic.
BenRG:
We've known since her early appearances that her father's infidelity and departure was a huge personal blow to Claire and also impacted her mental health. Things like that never really go away, even now. It's natural for a child to want their parent's approval and love and it's pretty clear that Mr A simply doesn't have it in him to provide it. Likely selfishness and self-centredness is a key issue here.
The point of panel 5? It's in Marten's nature to want to help Claire in this situation but, unfortunately, there is nothing he can do. It's just something Claire lives with and is going to have to continue to live with.
So, why is there no CRJ logo on Marten's shirt today? Vote below:
1) He got splashed with mud by Fairy Girl's raindeer and had to change it;
2) There's been a time skip - He and Claire have been discussing this for over a day off-panel;
3) Jeph forgot to put on that layer because he was busy packing for GenCon.
Is it cold in here?:
There's nothing he can do to fix it, yes, but hugging someone who needs it is not nothing.

He could redo the comic.
Oh, you mean Marten. Right. 8-)
Well. In these kinds of situations, people generally aren't looking for sage advice anyway, just as Claire says. Usually emotional support. Sometimes the right questions can give you a new perspective. But I've learned to withhold advice unless specifically asked for, because trying to solve people's problems for them is often unhelpful.
