And we're back for another week! Brace yourselves, though - Jeph's on a return trip from a con, so that could mean Filler strips.

WAYF · « **Reply #1 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 06:35 »

To be fair, according to my Twitter feed he was in the same building as Nathan Fillion. I'd need to take at least two days off after experiencing that.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #2 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 07:54 »

USE HIS SPACE NAME!

Zebediah · « **Reply #3 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 08:34 »

I've often wondered: Is his space name Captain Tightpants Hammer or Captain Hammer Tightpants?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #4 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 08:50 »

Captain Tight Hammerpants?

Bluesummers · « **Reply #5 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 11:42 »

Moar Deathmole shenanigans! Yay Hannerdrums!

Sidhekin · « **Reply #6 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 11:52 »

Hang on, Gordon?

I thought it was Gary the hallucination?

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #7 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 12:04 »

All bow to the glory of Captain Tightpants! Failure to comply will result in punching.

The general consensus was that this was the real Gordon and Hannelore just thought he was a hallucination because he looked so bizarre. Also, that Jeph confused Gordon's name with one of two Garys - Gary the omnipotent AI or Gary the nine-foot pterodactyl.

WAYF · « **Reply #9 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 15:01 »

I view "Nathan Fillion" as a catch-all term for the characters that Nathan Fillion plays. Like Maggie Smith, who (these days at least) only ever plays people whose entire characterization is "Maggie Smith".

I'd vote for his Space Name being Captain Hammer Tightpants though.

As for what happens this week, I'm going to guess that Marten starts talking about the incident with Claire to all and sundry (as he does) and presumably they tell him not to worry about it so much.
Or that's what I would do if I were Marten... damn, I'm totally projecting.

Loki · « **Reply #10 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 15:03 »

I have a question to jwhouk.

WHY NO WAFFLES IN POLL?

(I guess I can just pretend that the "breakfast" option includes waffles.)

jwhouk · « **Reply #11 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 16:18 »

Haven't done one of these in a couple weeks, gimme a break.

Somebody · « **Reply #12 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 18:06 »

You never even mentioned a Return of the Bros! (Bros! Bros!)

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #13 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 20:52 »

So, uh, help me remember the origin of this board's fascination with waffles?

celticgeek · « **Reply #14 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 21:03 »

Waffles

Near Lurker · « **Reply #15 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 22:19 »

You know, if Marten isn't considering it, he is seriously blurring boundaries here.

ankhtahr · « **Reply #16 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 22:20 »

Comic! And what a cute one!

celticgeek · « **Reply #17 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 22:21 »

Well, that might slow things down.

Upon closer inspection, could it be foreshadowing that Claire uses future tense in the last panel? *tryingnottoship*

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #20 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 22:34 »

Well hell that resolved itself quickly! Now for the post hug/hair ball talking!

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #21 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 22:46 »

So far Emily and Marten have both been startled by Clairehair.

Kugai · « **Reply #22 on:** 28 Apr 2013, 22:50 »

Dawwwww

Marten got a Hairball.

Trez cutez

There must be plenty of people by now raising their eyebrows and looking askance at how Claire takes care of her hair: the Claire-bear hair care stare.

"That'll happen" and "That happens" essentially mean the same thing. That something tends to happen (in this case, her hair getting on or in someone).

And Marten demonstrates once again, that he is as smooth as a river made of bricks.
But you know the explanation.

It's the humidity!

My physics teacher back in school would always use that when one of his experiments failed. And pretty much every one failed, so I guess our classroom must've been fucking damp...

As soon as I saw the panel, I heard the generic "Awwwwwww" from morning talk shows. Apparently Rachel Ray was playing in the other room....how appropriate a sound. ^^;;

TinPenguin · « **Reply #38 on:** 29 Apr 2013, 06:09 »

For the last few strips, I've been staring at that barn painting more than the actual characters.

I ship it with the Mogwai poster.

If you're really looking for shipping material, I could point out that it was a very enthusiastic hug that Claire gave Marten.

And then I could undermine it by pointing out that enthusiastic hugs can be entirely platonic.

Either way, I predict that tomorrow's strip will be four panels of Hannelore and Garydon the ArachnoPC staring wordlessly at each other.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #41 on:** 29 Apr 2013, 07:33 »

Thankfully, Jephzibah has not mutated into David Willis yet.

"Yeah, that'll happen"

That'll

That will

BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MORE HUGS IN THE FUTURE
BECAUSE THEY'LL HUG ALL THE TIME
AND THEN MAKE KISS FACES.
AND MAKE MARTEN CLAIRE BABIES AND HAVE A HOUSE AND A LAWN AND A DOG AND A SWIMMING POOL

sorry

Which might be confusing, because today's strip involved a person whom already switched bodies. To their actual body from a wrong body. Despite never switching before.

Real life is stranger than fiction.

*squeeing sounds*

My conclusion is this hug is the start of a growing attraction between the two, and 500 strips later Claire will have a major reveal that either ends in kissing or a large turn in the comic.

Confiding in Marten in the first place suggests that Claire is a good judge of character.

If she is, then she'll realize that Marten is a better choice for a Just A Really Good Friend than for a romantic partner.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #49 on:** 29 Apr 2013, 10:55 »

You think someone who could judge character wouldn't date Marten? Or just that Claire shouldn't?
