--- Quote from: Farideh on 21 Nov 2021, 23:13 ---Here's my interpretation, for those who are interested in reading it:
* Claire graduates and tries to find a job in her chosen field. So far so good
* This doesn't exactly go as smoothly as she'd hoped. Bit of a downer
* In the meantime she becomes a barista, which is a step down in her own eyes but at least it's work experience. So, a bit better
* Then: shock announcement! Her mother is a successful VTuber! Yikes!
* And her mother also dumps on Claire's 'in between' job
* Now Claire doesn't know how to feel, but she's feeling pretty down about the way her career is going
* Home again. Surprise cake is a surprise, and Faye and Bubbles' positive vibes throw Claire's emotions all over the place. After all, THEY think it's good to work at CoD, so why isn't she more grateful?
* And there come the waterworksQuite the rollercoaster in my opinion.

She's going to be so confused, plus her desire to be negative about her current and future prospects will be fighting any positive impact others may be having on her. So her head will be like a washing machine on full spin cycle right now.

--- Quote from: Scarlet Manuka on 21 Nov 2021, 22:26 ---Our answers probably say more about us than about the strip ....

I've thought that for years, sometimes wondering if other forumoids were reading the same strip I was.

Yeah, it's been noted before. For example:
--- Quote from: Loki on 07 Jun 2013, 12:03 ---someone: it sounds like there is at least a little bit of projection involved. Now, as was broadly discussed here during the Marten-Dora-breakup arc, the comic is our collective Rorschach chart, so of course you are welcome to do so. But by talking about characters like this, yo are hurting feelings of people in real life who like that character. Please try and be more attentive to that, okay?

Farideh:
New comic.
Yep, Claire is feeling all the feels. Good on her and her support group for talking her through it. Yay for friendship!
Tova:
I wonder how many serious strips there have been that ended with a throwaway joke about Pintsize.
Farideh:
Quite a few?
