I'm finding it a little difficult to like red-haired intern at the moment, just something about her attitude really puts me off. That said, tall intern and notebook intern seem like fun (that might be more from the old adage "Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt").

But hey, its still early days and we shall see what happens. And somehow I can't see Marten showing up at work, show three interns around for presumably several minutes and then head out for coffee, so I'd say they'd go to breakroom.

[IanClark]

I kind of get where she's coming from. She seems like this is part of her long-term career path, and so it's kind of understandable how she'd be a little pissed off if they're not taking it seriously.

[iduguphergrave]

Somebody not taking interns seriously? Perish the thought! What was she expecting?

(I've been irate all day and I think I'm taking it out on the forum sorry)

[cvcharger]

wait! in panel 2 under Marten's arm, it looks like a handle.... I'm probably wrong

I don't see it.

[Omega Entity]

There's a suspicious appliance behind him that we only catch a glimpse of, that could very well be a coffee maker.

[Is it cold in here?]

Is a "suspicious appliance" an appliance that acts in a way that arouses suspicion, or is it one who regards the rest of the world suspiciously?

[Omega Entity]

Hm, poor wording on my part. 'There's a bit of an appliance showing that looks suspiciously like it could pass for a coffeemaker.'.

Better? 

[Delator]

Calling it now...they head to TSB for coffee.

Elliot notices Tall Girl, and begins to develop a crush.

Hilarity ensues.

Personally, I was thinking toaster.

[Omega Entity]

The object directly behind Marten was too large to be a toaster, though. It's taller than the microwave.

[IanClark]

Good eye. I stand corrected.

[Kugai]

We'll probably find out that the redheads last name is Dinozzo   

[cesariojpn]

You don't like gingers period....just like the good Doctor.

I'm still at a total loss as to why so many people misinterpreted that scene.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/doctor-who/6936081/Doctor-Who-does-not-have-anti-ginger-agenda-says-BBC.html

He wants to be ginger.

[Method of Madness]

Indeed, that's disappointment, not relief.

[pwhodges]

Jeph has just said on LiveStream that there will be names today.

[Lubricus]

Jeph has just said on LiveStream that there will be names today.

Cool! I'm beginning to enjoy the current storyline a great deal, actually. Didn't see that coming.

[Doc]

They don't need names.
You can identify them by their bra sizes.

[pwhodges]

So grumpy girl is a Claire.  I have a niece and a granddaughter called that, and four more in my office - I guess it's a popular name!

[DSL]

Must be the name. QCClaire looks just about exactly like a Claire I know IRL. "My" Claire is wound way less tight, though. Also, she usually addresses me as "Camel Face." I'm pretty sure it's a term of endearment.

[Sidhekin]

Ouch.  I can't stop thinking of Debussy.  Claire, the loon ...

Oh well, at least I'll remember her name.  The other two are still kinda, um, blank slates to me.  Though I suppose book sniffer could be ML-y ...

[Emperor Norton]

Just catching up today. What I really like is that Marten was confronted, and dude didn't go spineless. He just confidently stated the truth of the situation and took charge.

Kind of nice to see him be assertive, even if its assertively admitting he has no idea what he's doing.

Also, while Marten has his negative qualities. I think Claire could honestly learn some "go with the flow" from him. She seems to be the type who is very uptight and expects things to be certain ways and stresses when they aren't. That is really a stressful kind of life to live.

[Mr. Doctor]

expects things to be certain ways and stresses when they aren't.

Dora?

Also... From the first time I saw her I knew Emily had a book fetish.

[Tellusora]

I think both Claire and Marten could learn from each other.
Claire to be more fluid and Marten to be more purposeful/less aimless.

[Y]

Also... From the first time I saw her I knew Emily had a book fetish.

I wonder if it's a book fetish or addiction to the book smell, with all the paper mites, bed bugs,... inside them.

[Mr. Doctor]

There should be spray cans with some of those odors. "New booklet from a brand new video game" would be one of the best ones.

[TinPenguin]

I have a bit of a book fetish myself. It's dangerous for me to go near second-hand book shops; I always come out with a stack of beautiful, aromatic, old books. My interest is partly visual, partly literary, partly olfactory.

PHWEEET! Two minutes for bad punning!

[DSL]

Or as Victor Borge said, "Clear de S'loon."

[Akima]

My mind is slightly boggled that Emily (and presumably Claire and Gabby too) had to "beat out dozens of other applicants" for a library internship. Dozens? I had no idea such positions were so highly sought after.

More interesting viewpoints, especially the third panel.

[Is it cold in here?]

Hm, poor wording on my part. 'There's a bit of an appliance showing that looks suspiciously like it could pass for a coffeemaker.'.

Better? 

Oh, I understood what you meant, but English is such a marvelous toy I couldn't resist playing with it.

This is the second Claire, after Dora's consultant.

I wonder how people from a competitive process will react to Marten's Type B personality. Interesting that Emily is the one with East Asian facial features but it's Claire who has the Taipei personality.

[TheEvilDog]

Right, Emily is now my favourite. Anyone who takes an internship just so they can be around the scent of books is alright in my book.

[Danziker]

Well... I love old books smell... the yellow pages... the delicate and worn out covers... and love the design of Emily... she's perfect!

( yes... I'm a library weirdo ok? not THAT weirdo, but a weirdo nowadays...)

[FunkyTuba]

I think we've figured out how the library works. Tai picks excellent go-getter interns to do the actual library science, freeing her and Marten to do tasks that don't require huge amount of effort.

I might be selling Tai short, she has shown a certain amount of "savvy" in dealing with the administration.

[TheEvilDog]

( yes... I'm a library weirdo ok? not THAT weirdo, but a weirdo nowadays...)

Why? Because you like old books? I don't see how anyone could be considered weird for liking old books. I love them. Every week I go to this old bookstore and buy a book, chances are I won't get around to read it, but you know what? I don't care, I love books. The scent, the crinkle of the pages, what's not to love?

That said, I'm somewhat loathe to bring a book with me when I'm travelling, mainly because I always seem to end up destroying them in my backpack, so I bring a kindle with me now.

[Soulsynger]

When Marten walks into CoD, escourted by three chicks attractive girls (sorry, sorry, rocker-guy-lingo), I want Disturbed's song "Down with the Sickness" to play.
(This could actually happen... they might just be within Dora's music taste.)

[Lubricus]

So... You're happier destroying your Kindle? 

[Danziker]

Well... that´s why I said NOT THAT kind of weirdo... but, I concurr... nothing more lovingly that an old-new book...
About the sad fact of destroying books in your backpack... you can buy the hardcover edition for home, and the soft cover to travel... ( at least that's what I'm doing...)
And yes... I like Emily very much... can I have one for Christmas? XD

ding ding ding, winnah!

[MightionNY]

Heh, I've always been partial to gingers, freckles, and girls in glasses. So, Claire is my favorite so far....

...except for.... does she have buck teeth? Or a SEVERE overbite?  So severe her teeth don't fit in her mouth?

[Monkey Says Yes]

Woohoo!  Old book smell!  Yesssssss!

[idontunderstand]

Wonder what plans Jeph has for the girl.. actually I'd be happy if he'd just let it play out the way it does, even if that should mean Claire quietly disappears, like some other characters did.

[DSL]

Well, the way it plays out is up to Jeph, innit?

[Throg]

Weird that people already lust after Emily. Asiaphilia anyone?   

[Dr. ROFLPWN]

Claire. Homegirl. It is good that you have a professional attitude and all, but calm the fuck down. You are like the zenith of 'taking things too seriously', from what little we've seen of you, I mean god damn.

Emily has my vote for Best Intern because she knows what's up. She likes old book smell and she likes Adventure Time while partaking of the cannabis-leaf. Good on you, Emily.

[Method of Madness]

Weird that people already lust after Emily. Asiaphilia anyone?   

Weird that people lust after any comic character, really, but why assume it's because she's Asian?  Maybe it's because she's laid back, enjoys the tomfooleries of Jake and Finn and joined a competitive library internship for the smell.

[TinPenguin]

Weird that people already lust after Emily. Asiaphilia anyone?   

Weird that people lust after any comic character, really, but why assume it's because she's Asian?

Because it had already started last week after we'd seen her for a grand total of two panels.

[Sorflakne]

Asian women are gorgeous.  Tall Asian women are stunners.

And Dora goes psycho over Marten with three hot girls.
