This strip made me happy, and I love how comfortable Marten seems! He's drunk, sure, but it feels like it's been ages since we saw him so relaxed, and definitely when alone with a potentially romantic interest. Also, I could be mistaken, but it seems to me like he's aware of the connotations of his actions, especially with Claire nuzzling into his neck in the last panel.

[mystere9]

squee.

[St.Clair]

Wow.

[RaineThing]

squee.

I second that motion.

Were those walls always so white?  It looks like purgatory in there.

How does this happen to me five times?

[bhtooefr]

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 11 is, oh, Hanako Ikezawa, this scene is about a 15.

I think I melted from the cuteness.

And, if Claire didn't have a crush on Marten before, she does now.

Also, you can shut off that warning, it's an option somewhere.

[McFace]

OMG of course this is a Friday comic. RAGE.

On a more rational note, Jeph could continue to troll us and have a repeat of the wedding and they just fall asleep innocently.

Once for each reply probably.

[Half Empty Coffee Cup]

Oh my god. Just. Oh my god. I might just die of cute.

By this point, they're a thing, right? Right? 'Cause Marten would have to be miiiiiighty drunk to do this and not see it as him pursuing (with much success so far) a relationship. Or we're still at the bar and the past few strips have all been taking place inside Claire's head after Faye's instigation. But that's a cheap trick, and I don't think that's going on.

[bryntheskits]

Hanako Ikezawa

Man her arch just made me feel even worse for her.

[HauntingPoem]

I shall be sqeeeee-Ing in the corner. Come get me out of I haven't stopped by Monday.

[FunkyTuba]

Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Maybe they'll wake up in the wedding hotel room and the last several months will have been a dream sequence 

[RaineThing]

The cuteness is reaching critical levels.

[Nyithra]

  I don't wanna have to wait 3 days to know what happens! GIVE ME MORE CUTENESS

[mystere9]

It would stand to reason, since we didn't get a double-length Friday strip this time.

[St.Clair]

No, no.  Enjoy the cuteness while you can, for with Monday comes the "uh oh".

[TheEvilDog]

And then Claire woke up from the Marten-massage induced daydream!

I'm going to run before someone kills me.

I second that motion.

the jury has reached a unanimous decision - this is adorable.

Relax, you're only the third person so far to suggest the possibility of a dream sequence. Which, I maintain, would be a cheap trick.

I really hope it isn't one.

[Mojo]

Ok, I'll be that guy.

Uh oh.

 

[Zebediah]

Break out the champagne, this ship is launched.

15 pages by Monday? We can do it!

My wife keeps asking me why I'm grinning like an idiot. If she read QC she'd understand.

[Schmee]

we are approaching maximum cute

[eschaton]

This must be a dream sequence for Claire.  There's no way Marten could be that smooth. 

[TheEvilDog]

Relax, you're only the third person so far to suggest the possibility of a dream sequence.

How the hell did I miss that?!

[bhtooefr]

You know, I just realized something.

Faye's probably hearing this.

Depending on how long between this strip and the previous one... I'm wondering if she thinks this has gone to different places than it actually has.

oh god, I just realised how laden with innuendo this strip is.

[ankhtahr]

So. much. Squee. Can't contain Squee.

Will only stop when those two will stop being so adorable.

[de_la_Nae]

No you fool, we cannae take those levels of kyoot for long!

[Zebediah]

Faye right now is dancing in her room, with an expression on her face that says "Mission Accomplished".

Hell, she's probably as thrilled about this as the forum is. Marten is her best friend, she loves him (in a purely platonic way) and wants him to be happy.

[Rghfrgl]

OMG of course this is a Friday comic. RAGE.

I don't know, last weeks was a friday rage cliffhanger. If the story was delayed a day and yesterdays were posted today it would be too.

This is a completely satisfying payoff.

[slydon]

Sorry, didn't mean for my post to come across as trans-phobic.
I only know one trans, and she was the one who introduced me to the word "trap", and didn't use it in a pejorative manner.
Still I apologize sincerely but for one thing: Still shipping Emilten.

[eschaton]

I hope this isn't considered transphobic of me to say, but I remembered Marten does have a hangup which will make it kind of hard for him to be in a relationship with Claire.

Yes it is somewhat transphobic of you to say. If not transphobic, at least completely insensitive.

Also keep in mind that strip was eleven years ago. A lot has changed since then, and Marten is a very different person today than he was.

[Zebediah]

Let's not even go there, OK? Marten has known for a while now that Claire is trans and has obviously reached a point where it doesn't bother him.

[Half Empty Coffee Cup]

There's 2782 strips between that and this. Characters aren't static, and that may well be ignored and treated as passive change. Clearly, Drunk Marten seems to be okay with things as they're proceeding.

[CaptainFish]

Dang, this is like too cute to handle.

[Aziraphale]

This must be a dream sequence for Claire.  There's no way Marten could be that smooth.

He's not. I'm speaking from experience here, as someone who's only ever been smooth accidentally.

On a not entirely unrelated note, for all the talk about Marten's happiness/luck or lack thereof, it's nice to see what appears for now to be a positive experience for Claire. I'm just trying not to get my hopes up between now and Monday...

Meantime, you have to admit, they make an adorable couple.

we can totally take this much cute!  We must be strong!

preeeettty sure the early characterizations don't really count anymore.

Sex doesn't always have to be parts going in other parts, you know.

It was eleven years ago in our time.  In strip time I dunno how much time has actually passed.  My guess is no more than 2-3 years tops honestly. 

Though I will admit, Jeph was still figuring Marten out a that point, so I'd be inclined to give him a pass there - the same way Hanners took around 50 strips to approach her set personality. 

[Arancaytar]

Claire just completely destroyed the QC adorability record. I'll be squeeing into next week.

Next comic we will have marten freaking out for breaking his core values, things he never imagined himself doing:

making a move

on a intern! How inappropriate!

NO!  Why must Marten be so misguided in his niceness?
*totally thinks Jeph would do it, too*

Hanako Ikezawa

Man her arch just made me feel even worse for her.

But white knighting Hanako gets you the bad ending.

[Pretender]

You guys don't have friends give you oddly intimate massages? How do you survive without oddly intimate friends' massages? D:

[Half Empty Coffee Cup]

Eh, the intern thing. I think he's been using that as an excuse to disguise the fact that he's just plain weirded out by Emily. Even if that's not the case though, it's not like anyone around him is going to judge him for it. Tai's made fun of that hangup, and Faye encouraged this. If anything, they might judge him for being a hypocrite, but hypocrites are a plentiful sort.

Where do I get potential romantic interest friendly massages?
