Good old Claire, and Faye needs a Grumpy Cat t-shirt.
Faye is always grumpy when wearing that T-shirt. It looks like a slow day at CoD, Marten must have left (finally!), and Dale is on trash duty. It looks like the Dale/Marigold and Marten/Delilah threads have finally ended, with very different outcomes.

Yelling Bird tomorrow, please!

In Claire's Twitter picture she looks just like Irma Prunesquallor. They must be related.

WAITAMINUTEWAITAMINUTEWAITAMINUTE ... how the HELL would a little slip of a thing like Claire get a book away from the Pugnacious Peach without severe corporeal damage?

Faye put the book down when she went to get sticky notes. Probably.

Claire should be careful what she gets up to around Faye. If she climbs the pun-ladder too much it might get Faye-tall.

If Faye built a bull-shaped coffee maker for Dora and Claire attached pictures of kittens to it, that would be a Dora Bull.

I was going to use the Pun Jar Jar Brinks pun, but I've used that pun before.

So, heard about the one where Marten had the interns recite the alphabet? The 13th letter was recited Emily.

I used to find Claire a bit bland as a character, but I've groaned to like her.

Terrible pun aside, I've always thought Claire was an interesting character.

It's what you get if you treat M like an adjective and try to form an adverb, i.e. M-ily (yeah, I guess that pun wasn't very Claire).

So, did you hear about the time the students at the library had a fight to the death? It was a Tai.

In his elderly years, Scrooge McDuck went a bit more eccentric than he was when he was younger. One day, he decided to have a wedding in his vault. He realized he wanted to Marigold.

I think Dale first appeared in strip 1640, although he was already a steady CoD customer with benefits by then. Without the glowing glasses he looks quite normal, although a bit scruffy.

What do we really know about Dale?
  • Favorite expression: Daaaaang!
  • Extremely nerdy
  • Likes to play WoW, as Alliance scum
  • Former arch-enemy of Marigold, both in real life and in WoW. Several hostile encounters happened, until she finally killed him.
  • In reality, Dale and Marigold were having a crush on each other. They were just too stupid to realize it while they were fighting.
  • Dale works a bunch of jobs, to get a decent living for himself and his mom.
  • Overall, Dale is a very likable person. Probably too cool and easy going for Faye, but otherwise he is liked by everyone.

Interesting, apparently in between 1640 and 1668 he took out his plugs and they shrunk to nothing :roll:

(Considering he only had them in 1640, it seems to just be an error. Perhaps I should bring this to the Did You Notice? thread)
