--- End quote ---
That smile reminds me a lot of the Grinch, that face-consuming smile as he conceives of his "wonderful, awful idea". Pintsize may not yet realize that his expression reveals his scheming.

--- Quote from: Wingy on 11 Jun 2021, 13:27 ---He just found his new people is the way I read that. Now we have to have a week of Pintsize getting out of his companionship contract and moving on and Marten/Claire having to adjust to life without him. Prediction: this will cause Martin some discontent and who knows where that leads since Claire has now signaled she'll take any job to be near Marten.

ANy job to be near Marten? Hmm, interesting, up til now I have read it as she will take any job to avoid facing possible rejections on librarian jobs (and perhaps in part also avoiding inevitable difficult conversations when a job far away presents itself).
While I appreciate QC's evolution into its current, quite humanoid AI-centric form, I will really miss the non-humanoid AIs. Plus, I feel there are still many possibilities with the OG cast members even when focusing a lot more on the newer cast. Especially Marten I feel has received relatively little attention in terms of his growth and development. But, perhaps JJ feels like the trials and tribulations of a privileged white straight male is not something that needs any attention in QC given how many much more important issues he could address in-comic?
I don't disagree there, actually.
Is it cold in here?:
We talk about Marten getting Pintsize assigned by mistake, but this is a reminder that Marten was not the right companion for Pintsize.
I am thinking of dialog from the theater version of A Wrinkle in Time:
--- Quote ---You people are so weird!
(beat)
For the first time in my life I feel at home.

Marten also just seems like he's in a decent spot at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if things pivot back to him in future, but in the meantime, no need to watch Marten eating cereal.

That is, in fact, the image I expected beeawwb to be linking to on the last page, before I clicked on it.
