I'm pretty sure Claire would like to be a Dorothy-esque characterBetter Dorothy than Trot. Otherwise that'd make Martin Button-Bright. :wink:
I've watched a few more than those on the list:
The 2013 Oz the great and Powerful (James Franco as the Wizard, a sort of prequel to the MGM movie)
ABCs Once Upon a Time ended up in Oz as well for a few episodes.
The muppets made a truly bad interpretation of the MGM movie. Now, I like the muppets, but the movies have been of varying quality, from Treasure Island and a Christmas Carol, which I love, to the Wiz of Oz which, as I already mentioned, is really, really bad.
But my favourite Oz is the one from 1925 with Oliver Hardy (of Laurel & Hardy fame) as the Tin Man.
Sidenote: A 1914 version also survives and is available on YT, but I haven't had time to sit down and watch that one yet.
As for the characters, Claire would be Dorothy, Marten as the Lion, Pintsize as the Tin Man, Tai as the Scarecrow (I almost chose Emily, but her problem is probably too much brain rather than the lack of one).

:-o :-o :-o
I forgot to include The Wiz in the poll!
It's the good musical adaptation. I might just clear the poll results, rearrange somethings and add two more options so I can include it.

Assuming Bubbles shared space with her fellow soldiers, I imagine she's heard it all before.
I now want a strip where Bubbles & May have a gossip session about their fleshy ones.
"You would not BELIEVE the smells Marigold makes."
"Bet you Faye could top that."
"Are Marten and Claire still making loud sex noises?"
"Indeed. Yours too?"
"Ditto."
Cut to a few feet away and poor Winslow is frozen in place as his chromatophores turn a deep shade of red with each passing mention of the couples and the ladiesSomehow I picture Winslow going paisley in alternating shades of red and green.
Bubbles has a nice retro look going on there. Just needs clutch purse and a string of pearls to go all June Cleaver.
No option for "Oz the great and powerful"?It got a dishonorable mention along with the JRPG and Lamaur's take° in the comments above.
Disappointed and relieved at the same time.
Zardoz. Completely ridiculous, but Seán Connery! And a man I knew in college was in it for about Two seconds.Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out.
I take it HBO's "OZ" doesn't count...? ;)Don't know. Haven't watched it. Being in a prison, probably not. But if so, it's one where they played around with it a lot.

Winslow is both easily embarrassed and has a very low ick tolerance despite being a world traveller and scorpion incubator.(click to show/hide)

Huh... I'm also in the camp of, "I thought everyone knew by now..." or at least Faye, since they live together? Then again, now that I think about it, Marten and Clinton were the only ones present during the original conversation, and there really isn't any reason for them to have shared it with anyone. (In fact, protecting her privacy would be the appropriate thing to do anyway)
(And where did all these Monty Python references come from?)
New strip up.
Old Pintsize back. *lol*
Do we still think Pintsize's "unspeakable urges" are just a front, then?
(And where did all these Monty Python references come from?)
I wonder how many ill-timed 'practical jokes' he keeps in reserve...I was going to ask where he's kept a possum, how long has he had it, and is it still alive (looks like it is)? That last one is perhaps of paramount importance, considering the proposed use...
Somebody mentioned this on the Subreddit and I'm starting to see their point. Doesn't Claire's smile in panel 4 look a bit trance-like? I'm thinking that she's having a slight anxiety attack about having come out to Faye and possibly to Faye's "I really can't be bothered to deal with this now; I feel too sick" reaction.
Like I said before, Faye is feeling too unwell to really have a 'response' to this revelation right now. However, I'm getting the feeling that she feels ambivalent about not being in the 'trusted person' loop who was told stuff right away, no matter how ridiculous it seems in hindsight for this to be something that Claire would just jump out and mention. As I said yesterday, she might have some questions later on but, for now, her mental focus is too scattered to really have any firm thoughts or opinions.

Alternative reading: Faye really has no problem at all with Claire’s revelation. And Claire’s smile is because she’s thinking “I did it again! I came out to someone and it went great! All my friends have been so cool about this!”
If Faye had a problem, either with Claire being trans or with Claire not telling her until now, I think she’d be more rather than less likely to react badly when she’s not feeling well. So I am taking Faye’s mellow reaction at face value.
I can't imagine a frilly hat with that dress, but a nice string of pearls would be on point.A sun hat with a wavy brim perchance?
References to opossums as possums are confusing as heck to this Australian. :psyduck:But they are both marsupials
They are not the same.

I thought Pintsize already knew Claire was trans. A strip from a couple years ago jogs my memory about her telling him about it.

He did. I don't remember why she told him, but Marten is surprised he doesn't make a rude joke in response, and he says, I think verbatim or very close, "I'm an asshole, not a monster."

(RWBY doesn't count? Probably wouldn't be my pick, but if Skin Horse counts...)
A sun hat with a wavy brim perchance?Well, not a real one like my wife has - the dress is too dressy for it. But a fake one, yeah, I could see that.
Insofar as Faye has identified as cis until pretty recently, I can't imagine she'd be all shocked and freaked out by Claire's revelations. She, and her best friend Dora are big, and Dora is engaged to a lesbian.Being cis has fuck-all to do with sexual orientation.
And Jeph has now fixed the comic to reflect that Pintsize already knew. Did he change the ending? Because I thought Claire said something about not wanting to encourage Pintsize, not that she missed her chance...Yeah, that she did. Not sure why that was changed; I thought it referred exclusively to encouraging him to abduct wild animals which is definitely something you want to avoid, regardless.
As far as we know, Faye still identifies as cis. And, unfortunately, it's quite possible to be both LGB+ and transphobic.
Both words are used for the same animal in NorthAm. "Possum" among friends on a Saturday night, "Opossum" on the driver's license and other formal documents.References to opossums as possums are confusing as heck to this Australian. :psyduck:But they are both marsupials
They are not the same.
Distant cousins, differing thanks to continental drift...but still related and the reason why they were called "possum" by settlers in Australia- yes, they are named after their distant American counterparts
Wouldn't be getting a functional body or change broken bodyparts the AI equivalent of a decent healthcare for humans? Maybe things are working better in other countries? The US never seemed to be on part in that aspect...American insurance companies are to thank for that.

Possibly the most diabolical periodical ever conceived by the human mind: Extreme-fetish stuff merged with awful puns and memes!

Oh, my! Is she going soft on us?
Or does she want the authorities to do a proper job instead of being a charity case?

I happened to still have the old version open in a tab, so here's the original dialog:I never saw this original, but yeah, Pintsize has known for a minute so the strip needed the revision.
... so now Faye and Pintsize know I'm trans.
Oh, okay. Were they cool about it?
Faye was, and Pintsize had brought an opossum into the house so I don't think he really cares.
Does he still have it? I've always wanted to pet one.
Me too, but I didn't want to encourage him.
Fleas, probably. Ticks? They eat ticks.
They have wickedly sharp teeth, though.
In Boston, sure, but not in Northampton. Fun fact: people in western Massachusetts, aa a rule, do not talk like Bostonians. In particular, they keep their “r”s; the line of non-rhoticity is currently somewhere around Worcester and is retreating eastwards.Fleas, probably. Ticks? They eat ticks.
