Fancy dresses notwithstanding, this would make for some good character development for Claire. Coming out as being trans* has helped define who she is, but goes no way to defining who she is (if you understand what I mean). To those (and those considering) outside of that reference, she's just a bookish-type, introverted young lady with a pretty good, reliable, but small social circle.

It'd be cool to see her outside her comfort zone (and not having her brother around to torment), and going all fancy while doing so.

Correct, but it is still the kind of not-date that can segue to dating. Shipping rules be damned.

(Also, the subtext appears to imply she has a crush on Marten.)

Meh, I like Claire.  There have been more than a few "Oh, Claire.  Don't ever change." moments over the last few weeks, and today's was yet another one.  And this development was completely unsurprising.  But I still wish he had gone with Hanners.  I just find myself missing the older-school characters a bit.

Also ... he is going to get his dad a refund on those plane tickets, right?

Blah. I'm sick of Claire already. I wanted Marten to go with Hanners. (Or Dora, so we can throw in some ex-drama.)

Me too.  She's a fine enough character with a good enough personality, but I kinda think she's getting a wee over exposed.

I really wanted Hanners and Marten, but then I selfishly love their dynamic the most.  And after Marten helped out Hanners (in a wayish) of going with her to space for a big trip, I figured it'd be awesome for Hanners to return that sentiment and go on a wedding trip with Marty.

What was the requested thing Jeph got though?  Marty going to a wedding?  So confused.

Y'know, this isn't really what I'd call a "date" - going to his father's wedding has a rather different focus.

It really can't be a date when she's literally the last resort and was option #5, the first option being him going alone, then Faye, then Dora, then Hanners, and then Claire.  Sides, not like he even thought of asking her until she offered.

Don't know why people keep trying to force ship these two.  Thought we couldn't do that.  Lord knows had my very first post here not been eloquently done regarding Hanners/Marten just as a dynamic I'd have gotten run off with pitchforks. 

I think going to your father's same sex marriage is about just going with a good friend for support.  Any romance, ugh, will be forced and awkward.

I hope so.  No idea what plane tickets are like in QC verse, but they're still damned expensive here.  Seems kinda callous not to use them if they're non-refundable though.

Claire to go with Marten, of course; the world is unhappy that Marten has no love, and blatantly wishes to push him into the company of any character that has not already been ruled out (and often some that have).

He's going to kill her off in some horrible way, isn't he?   :-D

Please no. Please. I've lost too many trans friends that way. Yes, it would be plausible, realistic even, but not really in QC's style - any more than Momo getting set on by Fanatics and put in a crusher, then melted to slag.

Agreed.  Keep the realism to the realistic comics, please.  QC is only slightly more realistic than most anime.

Claire is very cute in this. Sometimes you just want an excuse to buy a fancy dress  :lol:

Yeah, pretty sure she's been looking for one for a while.

She strikes me as the kind of gal who might like to wear a wedding dress one day too. Not everyone's like that, but in her heart of hearts, maybe.

In the meantime, yes, formal attending-wedding attire! She has the figure for it too. Probably wants a hairdo, maybe a makeover... you see she probably didn't get to attend a prom, or do any of the other teenage girl stuff. She's got some making-up to do.

Marigold probably didn't either, but she might not miss it. Not too much. Or wouldn't admit it to herself.

THIS.  I never went to Prom, I'm already married (and my wife refuses to have another wedding after the disaster that was the first), I never went to any formal dances...  and I spent years obsessing over that fact.

[...]reason(s) that she's got such a small social circle).

OTOH being willing to drive people is a good way to expand the circle.

Not that I've ever noticed.  Oh, unless you count the people that only hang out with you for rides.  Seriously, I had "friends" I tried to get together with for lunch/dinner/etc a few times, and they kept refusing - so the only time I would see them was when I drove them across town to a monthly event.  That got fairly old fairly fast.

Fancy dresses notwithstanding, this would make for some good character development for Claire. Coming out as being trans* has helped define who she is, but goes no way to defining who she is (if you understand what I mean). To those (and those considering) outside of that reference, she's just a bookish-type, introverted young lady with a pretty good, reliable, but small social circle.

I, personally, would add "ambitious", "hard-working" and/or "determined" to that description (as that/those character trait(s) is/are likelyl to be the reason(s) that she's got such a small social circle).

Probably accurate.  I have yet to meet a T* person that isn't determined and ambitious, and that rarely leads to them not being hard-working.  The ambition might not be the traditional one, but...

Y'know, this isn't really what I'd call a "date" - going to his father's wedding has a rather different focus.

It really can't be a date when she's literally the last resort and was option #5, the first option being him going alone, then Faye, then Dora, then Hanners, and then Claire.  Sides, not like he even thought of asking her until she offered.

I disagree about the romance.  Being around people that love each other very much and have been kept from each other by legal issues for years?  It's one of the more romantic ways to see a wedding.  Seeing the pictures from the Seattle courthouse made me cry, and I wasn't even there in person.

Am I the only one that wanted Padma to miraculously return and go as his date?

I'd be willing to guess she'll be another guest, and awkwardness will ensue.

I think it's unfair to call Claire a "last resort", Marten may have not asked any of the interns because he thought it'd be inappropriate to ask them to drive him that far. But as soon as Claire volunteered to drive him, he invited her without hesitation. (By which I only mean that he's not a bad friend for not asking her earlier)

Yeah, she's lasted more than 13 episodes so she'll probably be on for the duration.

Wait, Last Resort had a sub, which sank in the final episode. Perhaps a harbinger of a ship sinking during this outing?

Sorry, I have a hard time remembering that some people are concerned with spoilers; I stopped worrying a long time ago and learned to love the information. Plus it's hard to swing a cat in a roomful of media without hitting something someone doesn't know.

Not sure that was the best metaphor, and now I can't get the image of libraries and blockbusters full of swinging cats out of my head.

I don't know, I'm finding the references to rules about shipping more frequent, less subtle, and more annoying than the actual shipping. Regular users can use the PM system too if they want to tell someone to knock it off instead of calling them out in-thread. I may be a bit of a black pot on this, though.

As I was waiting in the Lab for someone to take my blood for testing, I saw a woman who looked pretty much like Claire in today's comic.

Her T-shirt was red, and her hair was not quite as "frizzy?", but she was wearing the same slim jeans and the same blue shoes. 

Interesting.

I don't want Claire to be killed off either, and I don't think it would happen (has anyone died in the comic? I don't count the already-dead people at the morgue) but if Claire were to die, it wouldn't have to be connected with her trans* status. People die in horrible accidents all the time.

But it's just not what QC is like, so not going to happen in my view.

Just Karen, I think you're confusing Mad Martigan's romance between two people with a more general notion of romance.  Yes, weddings are romantic, but that doesn't automatically ignite a non-existant spark between two people...

Can't say I really feel where the mentions of Marten-Claire shipping mentions are coming from, even if I certainly understand silly crushes when subordinated to someone. *Ahem*

Would probably be a pretty sad arc, though, since I expect Marten to stand by what principles he has and turn things like that down. Also not really feeling sparks there at the moment, so would probably be one-sided anyway.

He's going to kill her off in some horrible way, isn't he?   :-D

I'm honestly glad that Clair is getting to go, she seems like she really needs good friends.  Though I do always love seeing Hanners in strips!

Also I wouldn't doubt that Marten would forget to refund the plane tickets, this is Marten we're talking about  :-D

Was thinking this too, she may have missed out on a lot of the things that she would've loved to do as a child but would be looked down upon by many in our society (Honestly seems silly to talk down about a boy wearing a dress when men wear kilts!  :-P) so I'm glad she has the perfect excuse now!  :-)

Personally, I could see Claire being romantically attracted to Marten at some level, and potentially even acting on it.

I couldn't see Marten reciprocating for various reasons - I think his ethics would keep him from acting on it even if he were attracted to Claire, and I suspect that he's not quite open-minded enough to want to be in a sexual relationship with Claire anyway (that's the most tactful way I can put it).

I could see Jeph doing an arc about that, though. He's just enough of a sadist to his characters...

Re: Plane tickets:

I'm going to guess that Marten's dad hedged his bet by buying fully-refundable fares. Or bought "flaky son" travel insurance.

Otherwise it'll be a jumping off point for tense Marten<->Henry interactions once they get to Vermont.

Jeph has left himself lots of options.

I tried to brush it off before, but it's getting harder to dismiss the idea that Jeph's trying to pair-up Marten and Claire as a couple...
Or he's taunting the readers who want Marten and Claire to be a couple. He's been known to do that from time to time.
