I wonder how much more obnoxious Faye would be if someone accidentally punted her into the lake at this point......

Accidentally?

[Carl-E]

Also where the heck is Gabby!?

Inside, gabbin'?

[Madmartigan]

So, what as Claire about to say? 

"I'm...

...really sorry about my brother"?

...really one of your friends now?"

...impressed at how you can put up with damn near anything"? 


Maybe this is poll fodder - any other suggestions?  You!  Keep it clean, and wipe that smirk off your face!

I think she was going to say, "I'm kinda jealous." The whole vibe of the conversation was of someone who isn't used to being around so many fun loving people and being accepted like a true friend. I think that's the reason Claire decided to step outside and get some air and would explain what she is talking to Marten about. Of course, here comes Faye and Angus getting ready to have sloppy kisses cutting Claire off. Gotta love it. Also where the heck is Gabby!?

Calling it now.  In a role reversal, the black person won't be the first to die in the cabin by the lake when everyone is asleep.  Instead, it will be the black person killing everyone this time.  She's biding her time.  The ones who slipped up in mentioning her hair go first.  Or she could just be hiding and concocting an evil prank.

[iduguphergrave]

I would think you'd have fun banning somebody who takes something like

Farten.

seriously.

Sounds satisfying, no?

You think I'm the first person to say that here?

I'm curious if Claire just doesn't drink. Nothing wrong with it if she doesn't, with her work hard mentality though I could see how she wouldn't. Also, she is the only person I've seen without bubbles.

There were a few bubbles around her head yesterday.

[jwhouk]

Indeed right, my friend. Just having a laugh, all in good sport...but I maintain that I shan't be shipping any portmanteaus around the place. 

Well, if you have enough, maybe you can ship them to Tuckahoe, New Jersey?


EDIT; #### it, NINJA'D.

[Somebody]

Marten's speech balloon in panel 4 is *really* badly placed. Rule 1 of lettering - don't put the tail so someone else's face is between it and the speaker!

I wonder how much more obnoxious Faye would be if someone accidentally punted her into the lake at this point......

We need to find out. She's practically demanding a dunking, and it would be rude of Marten and Claire not to do so.

If Angus goes in too... well, he's an accessory to rudeness, he should share the punishment.

[Emperor Norton]

There were a few bubbles around her head yesterday.

So there is. I must have missed that.

[cesium133]

So it is. When I saw it I thought it was Claire saying that.

[Method of Madness]

I don't see how. Marten's mouth is open.

[pwhodges]

I like Claire's "Did you stack them in the closet?"  Just the right level of zany.

[Game and Watch Forever]

I don't see how. Marten's mouth is open.

Claire's a ventriloquist. We all know what that makes Marten, of course.

To me, her face seems to say... "I'm... not nice..."

[Welu]

That sounds probable. I am curious as to what she wanted to say.

[ink slinger]

I totally thought Marten and Claire would make out, but that would have been too damn predictable.. #notshipping #justsaying

I sort of thought that was coming, too. Not so much in a mutual way, though; I figured that Claire would jump him unexpectedly. The actual comic is better.

Totally read "FayMar" as Faye/Marbear

Great to know I wasn't the only one. 

I also read it that way and was completely confused as to how that could even be a plausible match. 

[Is it cold in here?]

So, what as Claire about to say? 

"I'm...

"...not used to having friends"

[cesium133]

I don't see how. Marten's mouth is open.

I don't have the best eyesight and Claire's overbite makes it look like her mouth is open in that panel. So sue me.

Please don't sue me.

[Is it cold in here?]

Maybe lakeside mosquitoes are some obscure fetish?

If you try to spray on mosquito repellent, does Emily come along and say "Use mine!"? What does she apply instead?

Maybe Faye's alcohol fumes will stun the mosquitos before they approach?

(Yes, I don't know how to spell "mosquitos". Spell check seems to like both spellings.)

[Game and Watch Forever]

So, what as Claire about to say? 

"I'm...

"...not used to having friends"

I was thinking along these lines, but for some reason that seems (to me) to be too bold or revealing of a thing to admit at this point. Like she'd be too concerned about sounding "pathetic." Then again, it is Marten she's talking to. Tai pretty much had that conversation with him not too long ago.

Either way, it does sound like Claire is another "stray" being adopted. How many of members of the QC crew actually had friends (as in people above acquaintance level) before we met them?

[Is it cold in here?]

That might be more a case of crossing the street unobtrusively while avoiding eye contact.

[TinPenguin]

Cosette (Luna)
Padma (Renee, Elliot)
Meena (Dave)
Ellen (Nat, Amir)

Um.

None of these are really main cast, though.

[Carl-E]

That's why the main cast is the main cast - it's a circle of new friends. 

[Game and Watch Forever]

Correct, but most members of the main cast has connections to another member prior to meeting everyone else (eg Marten-Steve; Dora-Raven). It's just interesting to me that Emily doesn't seem to have any "friendship baggage" so to speak, and that Claire doesn't seem to have any either (unless you include Clinton... but she wouldn't  ). Of course, I'm not talking about new characters spinning from ones we just met... that'd be crazy. But no mentions of previous friends.

[Method of Madness]

That's why the main cast is the main cast

Not really, who is main and supporting changes over time, with the exception of Marten and Faye.

[Carl-E]

But those within the main cast (at any given time) have been brought in as new friends of the current main cast...

I think my hypothesis holds up. 

[pwhodges]

Dora was not a new friend of Faye, but her existing boss.

[Carl-E]

New friend to Marten.  Even before the boob flash...

However, it is a good example of a pre-existing friendship, as well.  One could argue that Marten was brought into that small (two-person) circle, and so we have two binaries (Dora/Faye and Marten/Steve) that wind up in a different orbital pattern (initially, Faye/Marten with Dora & Steve in the "outer rings"). 

This of course shifted later... about two or three days after the talk, as I recall. 

[ink slinger]

New friend to Marten.  Even before the boob flash...

Man, Faye's whole "no contractions" thing seems so weird now that it's no longer an aspect of her character.

[jwhouk]

Either way, it does sound like Claire is another "stray" being adopted. How many of members of the QC crew actually had friends (as in people above acquaintance level) before we met them?

Marten had Steve, but we've never been able to figure out where he met him.

Steve didn't have any friends, nor did Faye (having just moved into the area). Sara was a co-worker, Dora was her boss (and Dora apparently didn't have any friends)...

Y'know, I think you might be on to something there.

EDIT: I thought a second time about Dora - she did have a "friendship" with Raven, but it was pretty much the "I really don't want to be around you and 'your friends' anymore" type of friendship when we first met our Blodwyn.

Luna was essentially Cosette's roommate, which may or may not have turned into a friendship because of that. Same with Ellen and Nat.

Yeah I actually remember one of the first strips we say dealing with Dora and Raven was Raven asking Dora why she hadn't come to the Coven in a while. I think she had friendships with people back then but like she had said before, she was going through a phase so we don't even know if she actually had any meaningful relationships before Faye.

[Barmymoo]

Well, when I moved here I didn't have any existing friends really. I'd had friends at school but there'd been two years in between. I had friends in those two years but I had a big bust up with most of them after discovering a huge period of betrayal and dishonesty (it was a far bigger deal back then, but I still feel that it was beyond the pale for them all to collude in one person's unacceptable behaviour). Of the newer friends, only one has really stayed in touch at all and only sporadically at that. So it's not impossible. The USA is far bigger too - didn't most of the cast move a huge distance to get to the CoD town?

Agreed, a short plane ride off the dock is definitely in order.

Wasn't Dora just starting to get fed up with her old "coven" friends when she came into the story?  (Also, did we ever see any of them other than Raven?)

[Sidhekin]

How many of members of the QC crew actually had friends (as in people above acquaintance level) before we met them?

Yep; it's a convenient journey that's undertaken with light baggage.

I'm surprised Angus and Marigold have not been mentioned.  Slightly less so that Sven and Wil haven't.

Then there's Dora and Raven, obviously.  And Marten and Steve.

And Tai's dorm ... provided she's actually part of the crew ... and unless that counts as a level below ...

And all this is ignoring the various family members, of course.

[jwhouk]

Once you look at it, you do realize that they're all "New Friends" (NO ONE is to link to S*P and Kharisma over that, 'kay?).

For all the joking Marten has over building a harem, he does have a lot of female friends - including his best bud Faye.

Awwww shit!!

[CrowFairy]

New friend to Marten.  Even before the boob flash...

Too tired to contribute something useful, but I happened to read the newspost below that strip just a moment ago:

Will we ever find out what the tattoo is? I can't rule out the possibility, but I am pretty certain this is the most risque QC is ever going to get.

Oops.

[Akima]

The USA is far bigger too - didn't most of the cast move a huge distance to get to the CoD town?

Marten (CA-MA), and Faye (GA-MA) have moved a fair distance (certainly huge by UK standards... ). Dora and Sven are local I think. The rest of the cast... I don't know. Padma's family were in CA too, weren't they?

[pwhodges]

At the start, Marten and Faye's moves accounted for them needing friends.  Beyond that, I think the forum is overthinking it (really?); the characters can perfectly well have parts of their lives that we don't see.  After all, the same happens in real life - my colleagues at work, and in the choir I sing with, have lives I know nothing about beyond what I happen to share with them.

[Is it cold in here?]

Wil is actually an example of that. He was a friend of Sven's through at least one significant event (Eleanor) but we had no idea he existed until he just appeared in the comic one day.

[riccostar]
