Read the tag at the bottom 'And it never came down again..." :)

Apparently Marten and Claire have moved into the 'we coordinate our outfits' stage of relationship. And I find it amusing that, considering her job and friends, Veronica has some very traditional views when it comes to dating. Once again she worries about what Marten will think about her dating Jim, even though he's clearly already passed the 'he's a cool dude' test.

Upstairs, Hannelore recoiled at the tea mug that suddenly erupted through the floor of her apartment -- then took a cautious sip.

Since it says "Worlds Gothest Mom", that's a good assumption.

Meanwhile, Hannelore is wondering how that coffee mug ended up in her apartment.

Considering the same thing happened to Faye and Angus at one point, I'm going to assume there's something quantum going on between those two apartments.

Apparently Marten and Claire have moved into the 'we coordinate our outfits' stage of relationship.
If by coordinated, you mean the coincidence on two individuals of both pants and long-sleeved tops, then sure, they're coordinated. He's wearing a zip-up hoodie with pockets. She's wearing a low-rise turtle-neck. The colors don't even match. And clearly, Claire is more petite than Marten, so, while she can do the wearing-my-boyfriend's-clothes thing, there's no way, even if their style senses meshed, that Marten could wear anything that Claire's ever worn, boy-mode or otherwise.

And why do I find it distressing to learn that Claire's a thrower?

I just want to mention that I dearly love Jeph's beautiful capture of a teenager's body language. The poses of Sam in the two strips prior has just nailed it. (why yes, I have a 14 year old son).

Today's was just icing on the cake and proof that Claire and Marten do belong together even though the drama now needs to be from the outside. She's just too precious for words.

I thought  that Veronica would be more worried about Marten's reaction than Marten was worried about her relationship with Jim. Honestly, if he was chill about his dad remarrying, why should it  matter with his mum?

Claire, meanwhile, seems to have something of an emotional stake here! Was she promised a bridesmaid spot? Or is she just an incurable romantic? The latter would certainly explain her matchmaking Clinton with Emily.

I agree with every poster with everyone who thinks that Jeph is working towards a wedding. Given how Jim and Veronica have been shown to be so spontaneous in their relationship, I could see them just suddenly deciding to just do it and it all happening in a rush over a couple of days.

[EDIT]
Actually, the phrase "Epic-Length Spontaneous Double Wedding Arc" has just jumped into my brain but it may just be me.

So...does the perspective in panel 2 seem a little...off to anyone else?

Panel 1 establishes there's distance between them, but in 2-4 it looks like they've more or less closed that gap. And yet, in 2, there's still an odd sense of scale between Marten & Claire (though particularly Marten) and his mother, especially given he's looking directly across the panel rather than at an angle toward us (to suggest she's closer to the foreground than he is).

Maybe it's just me.

Panel 1 also establishes that Veronica is waiting on something to be poured that Marten is pouring and Panel 2 has Veronica holding her "World's Gothest Mom" mug, so we could assume that Marten got close to, well, give his mother the mug.

Panels 1 and 2 have different POV positions. The 'camera' in panel 1 is in the middle of Marten and Claire's kitchen; Veronica is leaning on the door-frame. In panel 2, the camera has moved to the middle of the main room of the apartment, looking towards the bathroom and the corridor to the front door. So, there is a significant movement between the two panels.

I assume your idea is along the lines of "Veronica getting married and then Marten proposes but the Reed family is always so delightfully opulent that before Veronica's wedding is actually done Marten's is all ready so they just get married at the same time, hilarity ensues"? Would be fun.
However, considering that Veronica has confirmed that her wedding won't be next saturday, I wouldn't expect this to happen within the decade in real time.

By Veronica's own admission at the wedding, she hasn't been outside of the bondage/fetish scene in a long time, and didn't know how to meet people outside of it. This is likely the first non-client relationship she's had since Henry. She has no personal reason to believe that Marten would take issue with it, but due to her unfamiliarity with her own circumstances, she's making sure to ask, just in case. After being in the line of work she was in for so long, I imagine she often overcompensates with polite questions in her day-to-day interactions at times. Her accidentally slipping into her "dom-voice" when talking with Claire at the wedding might be an example of why she'd do that.

I got the sense alcohol was key in that whole thing happening. Any case, it's still something most parents would do, I think, telling their child about this. If she didn't actually look kinda concerned, I'd say the 'asking him' was just a courtesy, not actually important.

I think what's happening here is Veronica's unsure if she wants to do it, which I think is what you were saying, Neurocase, before I cut all the relevant parts to make a point about something unimportant. She's not asking for permission, she's mostly just saying it out loud to decide if it's what she really wants. Some people do that, I know I do, voice vague questions like that because I'm unsure.

Saying something out loud definitely helps some people.  Along those lines, I've heard it suggested that the real value of a coin as a decision-making device is that, when it's in the air, you become more aware of any latent desire for it to fall one way or the other.

Marten seems pretty chill about his girlfriend and his mother planning a wedding together, but that's probably because he thinks they're still talking about Veronica's.

Yes, Manga Studio ist really great, my daughter always tells me the same since she switched from Paint Tool Sai.

Faye is very happy that she finally went back to CoD and made up with Dora. I suppose she has talked about the topic with  Marten before. Maybe he encouraged her to take that step.

And look at Claires body language in the last panel. Veronica surely opens a new world for her. I wonder if she devellops a taste for it. Gothclaire would look marvellous.

Y'know, I don't think that Punchbot is a jerk. He's just got near-zero impulse control. That is something about which Faye should have a certain degree of empathy!

As for Claire and Veronica's 'harmless fun', Marten should get over there, monitor and intervene, if necessary. After all, they might start liking some of these 'hypothetical' ideas and he'll find himself having to participate in them sooner than he thinks!

I feel like as long as they're looking at a magazine titled 'Goth Bride,' Marten's in the clear.

I'm afraid that I can't agree. Remember that Claire likes the cyberpunk aesthetic. It's quite possible that she'll find a dress that she likes in that catalogue; Marten would be wise to get a say now. I also think that (as I and many others predicted) Veronica will start influencing Claire's sartorial style. The 'sexy librarian' is, after all, one of the classics; Veronica likely knows it well.

"“Streets ahead” is a phrase coined (and minted) by Chevy Chase’s character ..."

WHAT

I really doubt that.

I have to add... I've never heard of amatrimonial corset, AND I haven't watched Aladdin either, so I really am feeling old and out of the loop now.

Don't be so quick to intervene, Marten. You might even look good in that corset.

Y'know, I don't think that Punchbot is a jerk. He's just got near-zero impulse control.
Faye needs to think of him as Job-Securitybot.

Also, they've been dating for how many months? I understand some people jump to weddings within the first year, but I can't imagine Claire being in that group

I dunno. I can see her turning out a bit like Ellen, getting so excited over the relationship that she jumps to early commitment. Plus, there's no drama if BOTH characters are reluctant, and we all know Marten will be.

It would seem to me that anytime a woman is discussing her hypothetical wedding with her son's girlfriend inevitably the discussion will turn to the son's hypothetical wedding.

What does everyone think? Would Veronica tell Claire to call her 'mom' or would she insist on being 'Veronica' because "'Mrs Reed' is Henry's dear old mom"?

Also, they've been dating for how many months? I understand some people jump to weddings within the first year, but I can't imagine Claire being in that group

FWIW, Marten and Claire strike me as the sort of couple who'd sit down one day and say: "Is there any reason why not?" If they can't come up with anything, they'd jump straight to "Let's do it". However, I can't see that happening until after Claire graduates. As matters stand, Marten and Claire both wouldn't want her to have the distraction from her studies. After that? Well, I can see a summer wedding being the graduation present, IMO.

My technique for dealing with that is to steer the conversation towards Game of Thrones.

streets ahead

Pierce?

You got that from the ordinary expression "streets ahead"?


I have never heard the expression "streets ahead" outside of your use of it here.
