He's definitely collateral though. I think of him as a tree trunk being swept away in a mudslide: the mudslide didn't cause the trunk to topple or anything but its just along for the ride at this point.
Killspree:
Nope, still can't sympathize or like Claire. Take a long look Martin, this is most likely what you'll be dealing with multiple times in the future.

--- Quote from: Oenone on 16 Nov 2021, 20:46 ---Oof. I don’t see Claire as being a bully here — she made up some stories while pretending to be a calf whose mom has four udders. She was being ridiculous.

This was my thinking, too. They're completely anonymous internet personas. I think she was just having fun with it by making up stuff about her brother the MommyMilkers cinematic universe version, not the actual person…

Comic 4655: “Turn it back on. Anything he can do, I can do better.”
Comic 4656: “So who wants to hear embarrassing stories about my dumb little brother?”
Even if we set aside all the previous examples of Claire bullying Clinton, her behavior here is absolutely bullying/cruel. Unprovoked she both has to try and one up him AND the first thing she does is insult him and share embarrassing stories. That’s not adding background, that’s just being a jerk.
Claire is increasingly unsympathetic, and while I expect the QC cast to be flawed, id much rather we spend time with just about any other characters at this point than Claire.

He'll manage. It's kind of part of the package deal of relationships. You're not always seeing your loved one at their very best.

Of course, I agree with all of that. But that isn't to say that there isn't an opportunity here to focus on self improvement. In this case, he's absolutely right to start yanking on the emergency brake of this catastrophising train. She's getting almost frantic at the moment so Marten is right on the money to step in like he is.
