Marten does have previous guilty charges of punnage.

Closer to the present day as well, and equally unappreciated. 

New wild ideas: What if Clinton's hand got its own AI? I mean, it is Hanner's Dad Tech (Inc.)

Well...it kind of has a mind of its own already...

In other news, Claire appears to have remembered that Marten plays in a metal band now.   :-D

Wait, what changed?  I don't see anything different.  And haven't we always been at war with Eastasia?

Edit: I'm guessing Jeph altered the dialogue in Panel 1?  From something like "what music do you play" to "So you play heavy metal," right?  Edited for Claire-ity, looks like.

Neither do I, she's still saying she didn't know he plays metal.

And 2+2 STILL equals 4.

"Claire hangs out with Marten and Hannelore" is one of my favorite stories from the past few years.  Everything about that evening is damn near perfect.  Faye's probably been dying to ask Claire about her crush ever since she showed up looking for Marten (and I bet Dora suspected something too), and seeing Claire as part of the gang just makes me ridiculously happy. 

Also, I hope Marten remembers to use protection if/when he and Claire finally get it on.

It is interesting that, back then, Marten said that he knows puns aren't funny and that Jeph commented that he loathed puns. I wonder what happened?

Also, I feel like changing the dialogue in panel 1 caused Claire's change in expressions from panel 1 to panel 2 to appear quite odd.

Over the years that QC has been on all of the internets, the art has progressed amazingly. Each character has progressed into their own creation and obtained a level of detail that surprises me even now. So on a whim, I decided to do a side by side comparison of the first QC comic http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1 and this last comic http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2837 and I noticed something important. Marten is wearing the same outfit in both comics. I suspect the illuminati.

Well, she's a virgin and can't get pregnant so there shouldn't be any problem as long as Marten hasn't been fooling around with any dirty hippies or anyt...oh.

I think it's more likely she finds her old uniform and French horn and tries them on. Wait no, why would she still have her uniform, it's not like you kept them.

Weren't they usually rentals? I did drama, not band, so I don't remember.

Having just looked over the strips from when Marten and Claire met outside the library (this morning, comic time), she has only been shown from basically thigh-level up until now. 2830 and 2833 have the most amount of leg shown, and even those pictures end above knee-height. It is entirely possible she was wearing shorts all along! (Which doesn't explain the slightly different fit... *shrug*)

Also: squee.

Ice cream is an excellent suggestion given that Claire appears to be red-lining and may overheat soon.

As much as I know that Marten and Claire will be "taking it slow" for plot, as well as other reasons (namely her first relationship), I almost want the next strip being them being cute in bed.

Marten probably means to take it slow, or at least to take his cues from Claire...and she looks ready to throw out the script entirely and just wing it.
