Is it cold in here?:
That may yet happen. Jeph has foreshadowed tension between Claire's ambition and possible need to move for a job and Marten's inertia.

Which again has nothing to do with Claire being trans and would be reminiscent of Faye and her actor ex
It's almost as if the author doesn't want to talk about Claire at all except in the most superficial of ways, so why bother even having her in the strip
Is it cold in here?:
Being a spur to Marten has already been significant.

I don't think that it's just Marten and Claire. Jeph seems to either have difficulty, or a strong dislike for happy relationships. One by one (or two by two, as the case may be), happy couples seem to end up on a bus.
Mr_Rose:
I don’t think it’s a dislike as much as the inherent problem with a happy ending is that it is just that, an ending. Once you arrive, that’s it, story’s done, pack up the sets and go home. Which is obviously a problem in an ongoing serial that needs to continue indefinitely for its creator to remain fed and housed.
