To me, this just proves how narrow and shallow poor Marigold's socialisation is: Her prior positive experiences of humanity are limited to Hannelore and Dale!

Meanwhile, from Jeph's Twitter feed, I see that this strip is the result of a great struggle! So, extra thanks and hang in there, Jeph!

Well, that one problem had a really quick solution.

That is Hannelore's kitchen. Head back to 2683.

Back up a few strips from that one. That whole scene is taking place in Marten and Faye's apartment, so that's Marten and Faye's kitchen in 2683.

No, because the first panel shows Hannelore coming in through her front door whilst in her 'happy place' trance. So, yes, that is her apartment.

Indeed. The kitchen in the referenced strip is Hanners's. And the kitchen from Mondays strip is definitely not Hanners's. Wrong color, wrong arrangement, Wrong everything.

And Tuesdays strip seals it. They're on Marigold's couch. There's a window behind them. Hannelore's couch is against a blank wall. Hanners is in the same building as Faye and Marten, and I'm pretty sure we've seen her windows are the same as Marten's.

Her couch moves between the wall with the bathroom (Adjacent to the kitchen door, if her apartment has the same layout as Marten and Faye's) and the wall to the right of the kitchen door. In 1884 and 1885 you can see into Hannelore's kitchen from the living room. Note that her living room is an eggshell pale beige and the kitchen a yellowish beige. Marigold's living room is a darker, green beige. All evidence points to Monday's strip being in Marigold's home.

Never doubt my ability to detect a kitchen. For that kind of doubt, there is no room.

Marigold is infantilized here. "And now Angus is moving away and I hafta find a new roommate!" sounds like it came out of Family Circus. The body language is childish and petulant. The terms "hafta" and "wanna" exacerbate the impression.

Did she use baby talk like "hafta" and "wanna" in past strips? I don't think so... perhaps a more knowledgeable forum goer would know.

She's somewhat panicking. Which is totally understandable given her condition.

You just need to build up a resistance to the puns. Or the capacity to use them yourself. Personally I find it shocking that people dislike puns.

I'm not sure claire should go anywhere near these puns, the amount of static would cause that hair of hers to possibly strangle anyone nearby

We're alternating between two current ideas I think.

Hanners thinks Marigold is describing Dale. Marigold still thinks she is describing Hanners.

Emperor Norton · « **Reply #182 on:** 04 Nov 2014, 18:24 »

Marten is so chill, his laid back personality is the perfect calming effect for Claire's nervous anxiety over something so new to her. I also like how in this relationship he has managed to be more assertive without losing any of that laid backedness.

Also. Fancy Hats. Yes.

Gladstone · « **Reply #183 on:** 04 Nov 2014, 18:26 »

Also, if they go to the Horrible Revelation (surely they have some food?) they can RENT fancy Victorian outfits, so Claire doesn't need to worry about not wearing something nice right now...

(SOMEDAY it'll happen, just you wait!)

If I was on Twitter I would badger Jeph mercilessly until it did.

Jimbo has a hat that Marten can borrow.

What, you think Jimbo's hat isn't fancy? IT IS TO JIMBO!

There's something very creepy about Martin's face in panel three.

I'm not sure if it's actually seeing a character's face dead on (which Jeph seldom does) or actually having a first-person look out of Claire's eyes (which I don't think Jeph has ever done before).

Jeez, me too, I'm 6 foot 1, and the only refrigerator I've seen that didn't have 1/4 inch of dust on top of it was at my uncle's place (he's 6 foot 6).

And $5 says Claire overdresses for the date. (I hope it's the big fluffy pink Kaylee dress)

My parents' refrigerator never has dust on the top of it. It wouldn't survive the layers of cat fur.
