Alternative arc? There could be many but I'm wondering if there might be a series of one-off strips leading up to Turkey Massacre Day.
Jeph begins the Claire deprivation experiment, in which he finds out exactly how long the fanbase will go without seeing Claire and Marten together before they start to kvetch.The clock is already running on that.

I still have my fingers crossed for an eventual return to the Horrible Revelation and Victorian costume antics. Ohpleaseohplease.
I think that Dora/Sven is next going to be resolved ... My best guess is that Monday's comic will be Dora telling her parents that she's cutting Sven out of her life.
- The Emily question (i.e., what did Emily mean when she kissed Marten in #2736 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2736))
So many opportunities to make something other than a joke out of the character.
I'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen, but it would be kinda cool if it did.

Sometimes minor character's do X because the author needs X to happen. This would be a fine opportunity for character development though.
What if Emily wasn't just being weird? Or what if she was but she got a thrill, that turned into a thing, that became a crush?
Then her idol shows up dating the object of her fantasy?

While that would be one of the more unusual ways for a comic to go Cerberus, it wasn't what I had in mind, exactly. I rather see Emily as a less violent type, seeing how calmly she took being attacked by a snake.
In lieu of any predictions of five strips of Steve eating cereal, or five Yelling Bird strips, I'll say five strips of Steve eating Yelling Bird.Turkey day isn't until next month.
Remember who's Emily Azuma inspired by. I have it easy since she's my alter ego. I can't remember the exact episode now (been forever since I last watched Azumanga Daioh!), but she has a mean serial killer grimace and the capability to back it up. Also, there's a super funny montage of her trying to wake up Yukari with a lightsaber (original is with a butcher knife)
I'm not sure about Emily. Even IF she meant more than what was apparent with that kiss, she doesn't give me the impression that she would be "devastated" or anything like that about Claire/Marten. As...quirky as she can be, she seems more like a kid persona to me, and as such, any crush she may have for anybody might be experienced, and just as quickly replaced with other interests. The flanderization of her character also makes it unlikely she'll get a lot of development anyway.
I would LOVE however to see a meeting between Emily and Raven. I miss Raven =(
Aside: I really need a new phone, key board on this one is wrecked and loves putting extra spaces and w's...took me 10 minutes to type all this just fixing typos =(
I'm wondering if Emily's next significant role will be to accidentally out Claire to everyone before she's ready to let them in on that knowledge. Emily is obviously very supportive of Claire, exclaiming that she was "so cool" upon finding out. I could see her blurting something out in her excitement for Marten and Claire and causing some drama/conflict that way, as opposed to creating a love triangle.
D'aww.
And, it's not like Tai doesn't already know, via Dora...

I can't tell if that's happiness, smugness, or some unholy union between the two but damn is Marten just exuding it in that last panel. Must be the Claireimones. :clairedoge:
Oh Marten, you saboteur, you!
Marten has that look that says, "Fair enough. But we're on THIS side of the door right now."
Just don't get caught making out in the Victorian Porn stacks, and you're in the clear.
It almost looks like she's standing on tiptoe in the fourth panel, so I'm a bit disappointed that she didn't initiate the kiss, then smugly toss her hair (or something) and say "There, now we can go in." (Edit: or Aziraphale's "This side" comment.)
@jephjacques I want to love this but it didn't feel like a very respectful response to her request. :-/ Sry, probably shdn't comment.

While that would be one of the more unusual ways for a comic to go Cerberus, it wasn't what I had in mind, exactly. I rather see Emily as a less violent type, seeing how calmly she took being attacked by a snake. On the other hand, her immediate reaction to Pintsize might suggest otherwise.
Rather, I'd like to see Emily have to face up to the fact that she treats the world in a fairly childish manner, maybe learn a bit about why she does that, and learn what it is about Claire that she fins so inspiring. Note, that I don't want her punished for being childish, or for her to stop. Just to learn not to be oblivious to the fact that she is.
(Also, I bet those doors are totally see-through from the inside.)

Goddammit.
On Marten: This dude. Right there. This dude is just begging for someone to put the "Arbor Day 2003" banner up again.
Although if that was the banner Tai had to put up, this could bring about some serious discussion. Like, did Tai know Pintsize from earlier? Which was the impression they left on each other? Was Pintsize using another name? Is Momo-sama going to punch him again?
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2293 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2293)
Tai has met Pintsize, if memory serves. On the other hand, it'd make sense for her to have a banner like that, too, given that she hits the trees harder than Sonny Bono.
I was actually thinking that would be the next point to be addressed, and the gang's reaction/thoughts about it. Who knows. If Emily does let it slip it may also cause a rift between her and Claire for a bit. I mean, the whole group has shown before they are pretty understanding and Jeph has mentioned before how one of QC's main things is inclusion. So I don't think in and of itself Claire being trans is going to be the source of drama, but more along the lines of "betrayal of trust" kind of things, which I could understand her being upset about, even if its done unintentionally.
Maybe, maybe not. Jeph's already said that he doesn't want to have Claire's trans-ness to be a source of drama (at least not for the sake of it), but only he knows exactly what he means by that, or what that's going to mean for the story. Given that Claire wants this kept quiet for now and that Marten's been respectful of her wishes, if anybody finds out at the library, it won't be him telling them. However, Tai does know about the relationship, and her enthusiasm might well get the better of her. Emily outing Claire, on the other hand, is totally plausible given that her immediate reaction on being told to keep quiet about it was to let slip something else that was supposed to be secret. I don't think she'd do it out of malice, but she could very well do something out of sheer absentmindedness.
Next strip:
Claire: "Alright, from now on, no couple talk, we're libraria-"
Emily: "Hey guys! Claire, why are you blushing so much?"
Claire: "Uh, no reason *glare at Marten*"
"...okay, NOW we're professiona-"
*walks into main foyer, Tai's got a banner and streamers up, blowing streamers*
Claire: "GODDAMMIT"
Just a thought, have we seen Emily at all since the kiss on the cheek, other than the "hopefully a dream sequence" basket of mice bit? That might be covered this week.
All Claires are so gosh darn cute these days.
Yes.
ALL.

Not that I am aware. I simply mean all possible Claires. Everywhere. Everyclaire.
The point about this being "disrespectful" is valid, but I submit this is couples' behavior.How you find out where the boundaries are is by going with the flow until the flow bounces you off the walls. Then you have to decide if you're comfortable with where those walls are. That goes both ways.
We'll see if Claire's setting a hard line or soft line or something in between, but I figure this is a really cute set up for Tai-squee. Claire's a little more serious about the library than...everyone else.
Hopefully I won't have to Claire-ify further. :claireface:

I can totally see Tai putting up banners and stuff or similar in the library congratulating them for getting together. Witnessing that would just be a cherry on top to the whole scene.
'cause really? d'aaaaaaaw so cute ^_^
Jeph has been getting more spare and practical with the strips, so this could be the direct road from Squee to splitsville. And he's got a solid track record for planting the seeds of destruction early.
But I have hope that this isn't going to go directly to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. James Cameron's down there.
I think it's too early for the worry hats to come out. We just had a super downer with Faye and Angus. Pacing demands a little squee. As do I. And if I don't get enough, I'm releasing the virus.

Tai has met Pintsize (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1602).
Like I said, I figure this is just a setup for tomorrow's shenanigans. So I don't expect it to be more than a passing gag. But I have been wrong before.
[Edit]
It's worth noting that a quick kiss can mean "Yes, I agree". The problem is, of course, that Claire isn't as familiar with the silent language of romance as Marten is.
@ osaka,
It can be both at the same time too! Silent agreement merged with an enjoyable tease!
FWIW, to me, Claire's expression in the last panel was "Hey! No fair!"
So you want Emily to kill everyone?
There are more? Did Marten start a harem... uh a Claire-m
Will you help me hide the bodies?
An intern snapped and killed them all
A book was overdue
And she was feeling blue
Now she's rampaging round the halls!
She used to be quite wacky
And now she's not
I really don't want to die
Will you help me hide the bodies?
There's only six or seven bodies
Quick, she's coming
Emily, why?
There's a joke or two, but this is a full on tease. Has he ever done that? to anyone?Pretty sure he's teased Faye, and gotten his arm nearly broken in return.
Pretty sure he's teased Faye, and gotten his arm nearly broken in return.Ah. Negative reinforcement. That might explain why we haven't seen him do it often. He's only just recently stopped flinching when he thinks of it.

They haven't reappeared yet because Momo and May are frantically trying to get May's hair to look semi-decent.
And that's only without making the obvious assumption that she said something tasteless to say the least to Angus for the Faye situation.
But is anyone else wondering what became of:
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2802 ?
I think that the two ended up sitting together in the apartment's lounge, discussing that most illogical and incomprehensible of subjects - the human condition. I suspect both Momo and May are a bit frustrated at their respective humans' exclusive focus on each other. Bored intelligences start plotting mischief, even if it is mischief solely for themselves!
Jeph needs to do a cover of this for DeathMole, it can be the one really quiet song on an otherwise loud and angry album
My best guess is that if she were doing angry, Marty would have the sense not to be doing smugface. I dunno. I can't remember a case of Marten out right teasing Claire. There's a joke or two, but this is a full on tease. Has he ever done that? to anyone?

I have pointed out before that Marten is more experienced in relationships than Claire. Because of that, he might classify as 'harmless teasing' things that upset or seriously discomfort Claire. As in all relationships, they're now in the 'learning how each other ticks' phase.
I make up lyrics to songs far too quickly:
But people smell better than reindeers
Sven, don't you think I'm right?
That's once again true,
for all except you
And that's because you smell of sh-*slam*
I want to go up North Mountain.
I don't get why so many people are trying to see signs of trouble in the interaction between Marten and Claire. To me, it looks like a perfectly fine start to a romantic relationship - a bit of teasing is just frosting on the cake at this point.I don't think it's so much looking for problems as trying to read into it as much as we possibly can

Me neither.
This is innocent fun, in the context of making at least a token effort to curb their excitement and behave like adults while they're at work.
Almost or actually failing in this could have some comedy potential, too.
There's also the fact that Claire's taking the professionalism thing more seriously than everyone else (and Marten damn well knows how professional "Emma" (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1131), erm, I mean Tai (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2217), is, when it comes to workplace romance), and she's about to find out that Tai is shipping them. And, Marten knows how gossip moves at the speed of, well, gossip.
*sigh* BOYS!!!!!!
What would we do without them?

[snipped a lot of stuff.]Such clairevoyance! :clairedoge:
Does that Claire things up?
I doubt Tai will have an Arbor Day banner anywhere in sight.
Confetti OTOH.
A chocolate e-Claire.
I wonder what kind of online presence Claire has.
She could use the 'tubes to explore trends in how minorities get treated.
An elegant experiment on her part would be to pretend to be some other kind of minority, creating less risk to her real life while still exposing her to the range of experiences minorities get on line.
For example, she could try an African-American avatar.

I spend all day yesterday hauling crap while in hazmat suit and wearing a full face gas mask. Chalk it up to oxygen deprivation. yeah thats it ..... :psyduck: ... I scare me sometimes.
I am with those who worry what this means. I know it's just friendly teasing from Marten's point of view but I fear that Claire won't see it that way.

Logic and romance go together like peanut butter and crude oil.
No need for ad hominem attacks, now.
Man... a whole bunch of wet towels in here. It was a sweet little smooch! Haven't you people ever been in love? Sheesh!
Not to mention that it's typical Martin troll behavior. I mean, they hadn't gone through the doors, yet. If Claire is really upset about it, she'll need to talk about it with him, but she'll also need to understand that part of a relationship is learning to accept your partner for who they are.
I'd settle for either one.Man... a whole bunch of wet towels in here. It was a sweet little smooch! Haven't you people ever been in love? Sheesh!
I remember the days of being in love! I could so see myself acting like Marten when I first dating my ex ten years ago. Good times, good time. Oh to be young and in love again....
That goes both ways. Marten has to adjust for Claire as well.

I don't suppose I could convince you I recognized that quote without Googling it, but in either case I'd love to know the significance. Marten doesn't strike me as a Dread Pirate Roberts type.
Okay, so THIS strip here, in panel 2
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2137
Am I the ONLY ONE seeing potential relatives of Emily, Gabby, and Claire in that panel?
One more thought before the new comic goes up.
is it f5 time already?
Not recognizing a princess bride quote is signs I need to rewatch princess bride.
Although in this case it wouldn't help because I'd skip over the fred savage/columbo parts.

It's up, now just for caches to update...
Edit: Marten, time to call Dora, she needs to find Tai's reset button.
Tomorrow mirrors this strip with Claire talking to Emily, but instead of a dumb grin it's 4 panels of sadness.
I still think Emily smooching Marten was completely innocent and without romance, but I could be wrong.That's the vibe I got, too.
I thought Tai was going to squeee-splode there for a minute.
I think we can safely guess which of Tai's slashfics were her favorite.

As long as he steals it outside the library. The one from yesterday was in-bounds, but if he kisses her at the library, he's going against Claire's wishes.
Then who's the impartial referee?You need a ref? Try Jim, he looks like a referee

What's wrong with Claire?
What's wrong with Claire?
What's wrong with Claire?
She's condescending, rude and doesn't understand others nor does she try to. No, she's not the only one,
Not the only one is a massive understatement. If you think Claire is condescending and rude, how do you deal with Faye? Or Dora? Or Veronica? Or Penelope? Tai?
Seriously. The only female characters in the strip who couldn't be described as condescending and rude are emotionally crippled, one dimensional recurring jokes, or suffer the curse of being too brown to be regular characters.
The only male characters are either 1 dimensional or Marten.
Mooski, I'm 150% sure that if all characters were normal the comic wouldn't be anywhere near as entertaining.
Yeah well... The world would be a great place if there weren't all those darn people in it.
Um, then what is it about the comic that you like enough to read it and make an account to discuss it?
That's actual curiosity, by the way, and not passive aggressive bullshit.
Yeah well... The world would be a great place if there weren't all those darn people in it.
You mean... Like France?
All I'm saying is that if one finds Claire's snark distasteful, how does one deal with the rest of the cast?
Um, then what is it about the comic that you like enough to read it and make an account to discuss it?
I have to say I'm really wish I could tell stories like these. I'm like Penny, I want to write stories, but I don't want to do that hard work of writing stories till I get 'good' at it enough to sell any. Or learn to draw and tell me stories via comics. I don't want to put in the time to be able to do the job, I just want to do the job now.

Why?
Jeph didn't hit this level of art for 700+ strips. Even then, he wasn't satisfied. The art just keeps changing.
Jeph didn't hit this level of storytelling for nearly 400 strips. Even now, he's constantly fiddling with how he tells stories. His latest thing is less word = good.
The lesson, me thinks, is don't wait until you're "good." "Good enough" will do. What's good enough? Make something. show it someone else. Did they understand it? If yes, it's good enough.
Lesson two is, "You'll have time to be good at it when you're dead. Right now, it's time to be doing it."
I wonder what Angus is up to, and who he's getting advice from. Marigold? Momo? MAY?
The Vespa Avenger got him.
She went to Russia for a while and became Tortura.The Vespa Avenger got him.
But she works for the government now. She's been bureaucratized.
Wait a moment...Steve worked for the government too, for a while.
Do you...do you think they ever teamed up?
Dammit, now I want a spin-off.
Stress anything will probably kill you. The patterns always seem to make it that much harder to follow up and do the healthy thing after.That and eating a half dozen or so extra muffins a day will probably take longer to do anything to your health than an extra half bottle or so of bourbon a day.
On the upside, death by stress eating is probably slower. It's doubtful Faye will become impaired and wander into traffic under the influence of too many muffins.
I wonder what Marigold's reaction to this whole deal is going to be? She's become more assertive over the time she' been featured, so it'll be interesting to see.
I predict Angus get slapped or hugged, then Dale and Momo will find out and the grape vine will tell everyone
I can't help but wonder if Marigold might see this as time to have another go at dating Angus. Yes, she's with Dale, but I wonder if she's just socially unaware/selfish enough to try.
Interesting start to the week so far.
By the way, Hi from Arizona.
I think that ship caught fire, exploded, sank, exploded again, and had its fragments crapped on by a passing whale.
But I still want to know how she feels about losing her roommate/oldest friend in less than a week. And we're back again to idle speculation re: who will move in to his old room, especially since Faye isn't going anywhere and Marten isn't in the same need-a-new-roommate boat.
DO NOT finish that pun about a chocolate-y Claire!

Dora and muffins give better advice than bourbon. We'll see.
Meanwhile at the library. Marten is floating in the air, but did he not notice that may be Claire did not want to tell their coworkers? We never saw her go through those mighty library doors. I'm mildly worried about her sitting their alone waiting for the Ativan to kick in. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2432)

I'm mildly worried about her sitting their alone waiting for the Ativan to kick in. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2432)
Until Jeph shows otherwise, I'm going to assume this is something that Claire and Marten agreed had to be done.
The lesson, me thinks, is don't wait until you're "good." "Good enough" will do. What's good enough? Make something. show it someone else. Did they understand it? If yes, it's good enough.
Lesson two is, "You'll have time to be good at it when you're dead. Right now, it's time to be doing it."
Was that intentional?
Remember, anything worth dong is worth doing badly.

When interviewed not long before his death, he was asked which among his books he liked best. His reply:Quote from: Louis L'AmourI like them all. There's bits and pieces of books that I think are good. I never rework a book. I'd rather use what I've learned on the next one, and make it a little bit better. The worst of it is that I'm no longer a kid and I'm just now getting to be a good writer. Just now.

May is Dale's roomate.I think that ship caught fire, exploded, sank, exploded again, and had its fragments crapped on by a passing whale.
But I still want to know how she feels about losing her roommate/oldest friend in less than a week. And we're back again to idle speculation re: who will move in to his old room, especially since Faye isn't going anywhere and Marten isn't in the same need-a-new-roommate boat.
Do we know if Dale has a roommate? Maybe he and Marigold are both so socially unaware that they think it would be OK to move in together at this point. It might be an interesting story arc to have Marigold and Dale decide to move in together and have Dale mention it at CoD. The Gang could then spend a long time trying to convince Dale and Marigold that it's a bad idea.
Sometimes I think we get a bit over analytical in here.Some of us. Not others.

The usual advice to beginning artists is to draw, draw, draw, because they've got 10,000 bad pictures inside them and they have to get them out before they start getting good. I think the same principle applies with beginning writers, because really, you can't get good at something if you don't practice doing it! Writing bad stories, comparing them to good stories and seeing why they're bad, learning how to make them better, is just something you gotta do. Most authors get dozens of rejection letters before publishing a single story, or write dozens of stories they don't even bother sending to editors before sending one they think is good.My name's ReindeerFlotilla and I approve this message.
I ran across an interesting quote recently in the Wikipedia article on Louis L'Amour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_L%27Amour), a writer of Western novels who was very popular from the Sixties through the Eighties:Quote from: WikipediaWhen interviewed not long before his death, he was asked which among his books he liked best. His reply:Quote from: Louis L'AmourI like them all. There's bits and pieces of books that I think are good. I never rework a book. I'd rather use what I've learned on the next one, and make it a little bit better. The worst of it is that I'm no longer a kid and I'm just now getting to be a good writer. Just now.
This from a man who published "89 novels, 14 short-story collections, and two full-length works of nonfiction" and was considered "one of the world's most popular writers"! Geez, Louis, not long before your death is a helluva time to finally start getting good. Maybe work on your timing in your next life? :lol:

Puns are not terrible. Having said that, I think Claire's graping the bottom of the barrel in the strip quoted above.
But seriously, I hope Faye clears the air between her and Angus. You do not want something like that hanging over you like a dark cloud.
Faye's better off binging on food instead of booze, the only bad thing that'll come of that is a slightly larger butt.

I like how Marten has the option to ask for God mode, but inn stead goes for infinite guitars.
I like how Marten has the option to ask for God mode, but inn stead goes for infinite guitars.
From his point of view, could be both...
God Mode would be boring. Infinite guitars, on the other hand, lets him concentrate on guitar skill rather than getting the proper axe.
It also reduces the pressure on his job (he took extra hours once he impulse-bought an 8-string) and can make him really look forward to playing them. Win-win-win, basically.

And also 1081 (http://questionablecontent.net//view.php?comic=1081).
All I'm saying is that Marten, when facing the possibility that he lives in simulated world, indeed is a simulation himself, only wants infinite guitars.
A universe, basically without consequence, where he could do anything should the cheat code exist. So the amount of challenge, job stress reduction, anything at all, is basically arbitrary.
But all it takes to make Marten happy is all the guitars he could ask for.
That's pretty much all you need to know to understand Marten Reed.
But that's not anything he's trying to attain via cheats, he's doing it the legitimate way.
Is it just me or the artwork on Claire is a little different today? specially on panel 2?Nothing stands out to me.
I know why tai could act like this but....she already knew of it so why the first impression squee? unless it still going from the day before lolNo, she knew that Faye had last seen them cuddling drunkenly on the couch, and that Marten was gone when Faye got up. The rest was merely suspicion.

Despite my feelings about Monday's strip, I don't think her response is quite that serious. Annoyed and a bit flustered, sure, but borderline-anxiety attack? Seems unlikely. Plus, I'm sure she would agree with Marten that Tai, at least, should know about the relationship, precisely for the reasons he voiced on Tuesday--which is why I'm a tiny bit bothered that they didn't broach the subject to her together (and making Tai go doubly-catatonic). But I've probably fired my headcannon on these forums enough this week.

If we assume each "Ding" is a different person then we have:

Marten seems happier about this than Claire is. Understandable but worrisome.

I keep forgetting Veronica Reed is in Northampton. Now there's some potential for fun times.If we assume each "Ding" is a different person then we have:... Tai messages Dora, Emily, and Marigold. Dora tells Faye at work. Cosette is also working and hears the conversation, so messages Steve. Marigold tells Angus. While picking up coffee, Jim hears about it, because the baristas are all talking about it, and messages Veronica. Emily tells a random stranger who is very confused.

Not Hanners. Marten already told her earlier, so she has no reason to do the "omg text" reaction, since she already did it. http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2819
Especially after Veronica hears about it; she's fancied Claire as a future daughter-in-law since the wedding, I think.
Meanwhile, on a confidential message wall, the planning for the party has begun. What starts as a relatively quiet and simple gathering for Marten and his close circle to welcome Claire into the group will rapidly turn into something a lot larger and a lot more chaotic, IMO. Especially after Veronica hears about it; she's fancied Claire as a future daughter-in-law since the wedding, I think.

If you could choose your name would you name yourself after a parent or pick something cool like Claire or FighterJet?

Not cool, Marten.
It's also likely that he asked her to keep it quiet, per Claire's wishes, but also suspected she wouldn't (hence what he says in the last panel, and a facial expression that reads as equal parts amused and bemused.
Why "not cool"? Tai's Marten and Claire's boss. He had to have the discussion with her.

Tai going and telling the 'circle' was pretty much what I expected to happen when she found out. My guesses for the texts: Dora, Faye, Steve, and one off-panel text from Pintsize.

There's 6 listed dings in there, although I agree it's kinda hard to get more texts than those 4 at this point in time.

It would have been impossible to keep their relationship secret from work, unless they kept it a secret from everyone. Emily and especially Tai are in Marten and Claire's (mostly Marten's) circle of friends. Even if they didn't come clean at work it would take a day, maybe two at most till it got back to Tai from Dora. Besides, Claire didn't want to keep it secret, she wanted to keep it professional. No kissy faces in the stacks. No special treatment because they are dating. Basically acting more professional about it than everyone else in the library. :)

Anyway, back on-topic: The summer must surely be over soon, right? According to the other thread we're now far into August, which means that it can't be that many weeks left on the summer internship. At which point the work relation between Marten and Claire ends and they're free to do whatever they want without any complications from work. Though I could see the trustee all of a sudden coming and saying that Tai is leaving (because she's graduated) and Claire will take over her position, as she's the only one qualified to take over that position.
The other thing is, they're stressing the whole "employees" thing.
Did Claire possibly get hired as a regular employee?
We only have a guess about the source of Claire's anxiety. Being a driven graduate student creates many opportunities to develop an anxiety disorder.No, graduate students are the calmest people in the world.

You know you may be a bit too emotionally invested in a webcomic when you've noted with concern that Claire hasn't smiled at all in the last two strips.

I've got a funny feeling that there is a tradition of some sort in that family that all first names should start with a 'cl' sound. Yes, that's weird but I've heard weirder.

I was about to post my concern that, actually, Claire didn't smile at all during the whole encounter at her house, except for the "nuzzling" smile at the end of # 2808, and hasn't smiled in response to Marten since. How invested am I? :-)

In the second, she's concerned about how her boss is going to react, and how her new thing is going to go over socially. At the end of both, she's reacting with some flavor of surprise.

And at home, she was bewildered/taken aback for several strips, then concerned about Marten's thoughts re: her status. Once they get off work and have the most immediate concerns behind them, hopefully Claire will have some opportunity to relax and smile and crack anawfulawesome pun.
That's a possibility. But the angle of his gaze and the expression on his face could more easily be read as looking at Angus and thinking "so THAT's my competition?" or even looking at Emily and trying to figure her out.
It's funny - intellectually, I know there's nothing about anything I've read/seen previously that matters a hill of beans to the progression of the story - Jeph's going to draw the next comic, and then that will be canon, so worrying about it isn't just useless, it's silly.
I am really intrigued at how this particular webcomic romance is hitting all my buttons as opposed to any of the others I've read before (or even currently - DumbingOfAge has about five simmering in the slow cooker). Whether by design or by accident, Jeph's managed to make me care what happens to these two, and I can't put my finger on exactly why.
Not that I'm complaining.
She was a man four years ago, regardless of how she identified.
She was a man four years ago, regardless of how she identified.
Her life was indeed shaped by being misgendered, which I believe was your primary point.
Thinking of younger Claire as a "man", though, interferes with careful thinking about trans* people.
What I said was statement about how Claire was previously viewed by the outside world. Unless she's always been presenting as female, which her statements seem to indicate was not the case, there was a time when the world would have assigned her the value of "young man" and treated her accordingly, with respect to unconscious bias.
...
If there's an objection to be made on the basis of technical inaccuracy or potential hate speech, I'm always open to hear it. Please refrain from telling me what I mean, or presuming to characterize my intent.
"Kind of a thing now."
I guess it's a bit early to say they're dating or in a relationship, but c'mon, Marten, can't you be a bit more clear than that? Although I guess "We're a couple" or "we're together now" would also imply a deeper commitment than what they have yet. Goddamn English, how does it work?(click to show/hide)
In regards to referring to Claire as male at some point, or formerly male. A politer and more accurate way of putting it was that she was perceived as male. That established how she was treated without invalidating either her lived experience or her identity.
Which for most trans people sets in and they can verbalize it by the age of 4-5. Usually long before they are given the ability to express that identity.
Confession: there's a bit of selfishness in my reply. I hope you can forgive it. If a trans person had taken offense, then I would have had to put on the mod hat and break up an unnecessary fight, when I'd rather overanalyze the comic instead.

I prefer to avoid universalizing narratives like this.
I presented androgynously as a preteen and did not have a clear sense of my female identity or trans status until I was 14. Before puberty, "gender" seemed like a purely superficial distinction like race. I'd certainly have preferred to have been a cis girl, but in practical terms it didn't seem to matter much that I wasn't perceived that way. After puberty, that dissonance became a lot less academic and more of a clear and present threat to my sense of self and ongoing source of personal misery.
Here's the thing. Whether you divined my specific intent, you recognized what I was saying. Just as I recognized that you are discussing gender, despite the fact that you use the words "male or formerly male." Male isn't a gender term except at a remove of implicit assumption: If A is male, A must be a man or boy. Except, if you accept gender as construct, you know that A being male tells you nothing about whether A is a man or boy.

What are some of the most common ways that spending early life assigned male could have affected Claire's mindset about going into a het dating relationship?
Faye probably just forgot. I mean, she did just have a relationship crisis, and when she checked on the thing, Marten blocked with pancakes. It was, apparently, super effective.
I think we already made a comment on the connotations pancakes have, so maybe Faye's mind kinda went that way without us noticing.
