I just thought of a way this could reach BenRG levels of darkness - what if Claire says something like "yeah, I know, not a big deal, x seems to be good for her"... x not equaling Chad?

Wonder if Clinton will be upset with Claire again if she tells him that she knows and it's been going on for awhile.

"Well, yeah. I knew that already. That's one of the reasons I've been spending so many nights over at Marten's lately. They can get a bit.. loud."

I wonder if Clinton's reaction is more than just, "Ew, parent sex!" and could be partially, "Mum's dating again!"? This might be the first time Clinton is seeing his mother with someone other than his father. Also it's one thing to see your parent with a stranger and another to be with someone you knew previously and if Clinton tutored him, then it's likely that Chad is around his age or slightly younger.

I also wondered if it's possible that his Mom met Chad while Clinton was tutoring him, but it seems Chad is unaware of the familial relation because he doesn't say, "Wow, your son is the guy who tutored me!"

Between strips:
Chad: "Babe? Funny thing that, but that guy Clinton? He has the same family name as you! I wonder what he wanted ..."

I know of women who have kept the ex-husband's name for various personal reasons. It's also possible mom changed back to the maiden name and either changed their names as well or the children chose to as a show of support or family.

Is it cold in here?

There's no evidence for it but it would have been a meddler move and in the service of the Principle of Maximum Awkwardness if Claire had fixed them up.

One thing we know about ClaireMom is she's not bashful about inviting young men over to the house. Perhaps she romanced Chad with pancakes. We also don't know what she does in the way of work, either. She may have run into Chad in the course of that.

Clinton has weird priorities. And he didn´t mention the clock either.

Claire managed to calm him down quite fast. Go mom. I like that.

I think that we all were more-or-less expecting today's strip to turn out the way that it did. However, it a certain way, it probably tells us a lot about Clinton, his personality and, possibly, his relationship with his mother.

Look at his monologue in panel 3 and his body language. Although he is making a show of agreeing with Claire, you can tell that he thinks she's being irrational. He also uses a lot of pointed language to show that he still disapproves of his mother's choices but that he doesn't want to start (another) fight with Claire over it. Claire also correctly zeroes in on the strange fact that, with all the stuff (some of it life-threatening) that had happened to him that night, why is he most worried about his mother's sex life?

That said, Clinton gets an award for summarising what was, what...? 25 strips...? Managing to boil that down to a single run-on sentence is pretty impressive! I'm sure that the educator in Claire would be impressed if she weren't more worried about his safety and his skewed idea of what was the more important events of that night!

In Clinton's defense it was the most recent of the shocks of the evening and therefore salient.

It's also the only one that stayed emotionally unresolved due to the lack of any appropriate action. You're in a fire? You help others out, problem solved. Someone's apartment destroyed? You get her to a hotel, immediate problem solved. You can't handle your mother enjoying a hookup? No solution, short of changing your emotions, a slow process. Problems that can be solved are less likely to haunt you.

A DC comic? Definitely "Identity Crisis"  :-D

I don´t think Clinton is making a show in panel three. I rather suppose that recapitulating the event last night and his sisters relaxed reaction to it sends pictures to his inner eyes he´d rather prefer to forget. So I think he´s just shivering.

Exactly this. I'm twenty four and can easily pass for seventeen. I'm shorter, don't have facial hair, and have what my friends call "babyface syndrome". I used to hate it, but now I've settled with this precise rationale; when my friends and I are fifty, they'll look their age and I won't. It's a pain at the start, but babyface syndrome is a long con, my dude. It always pays off on the other end.

Can confirm, because I am at the opposite end of this. I always looked a few years older than I was, and when I was 14 or 16 or even 20, that was great. Currently at 29, I've been mistaken for being in my forties. Not constantly, but often enough to make me very, very sad. Even people who don't go that far usually tend to assume I'm in my mid-thirties or something.

The only silver lining is that a big part of this is likely due to my becoming bald very early in my life, so hopefully when I'm 40 people will not assume I'm 55 or something. Hopefully.

I wonder: Is this is jealousy? Claire has been able to get a relationship, his Mom has someone to scratch her itches... Hell, even Chad, who Clinton seems to regard as a muscle-headed moron, has got someone! However, he hasn't. There was this one girl who he liked but she gave him the "I'm kind of busy right now" line (what, being a MSc student) and... well, it's hard not to be a little bitter about things like that.

I was coming to make a comment like this. I really got the impression Clinton thinks the fact his Mum picked someone bad at math is as bad as his mother picking someone who is 21. Where are your standards, Mum? Geez...

I don't think Clinton's being jealous or anything, he's just shocked - his mom picked the guy he was tutoring (of course he thought she'd at least go for somebody smarter..)

I also don't think Chad is being rude for inserting himself in Mrs Augustus' life: He calls her babe, and she doesn't protest. That relationship isn't new, and she probably doesn't hide him from anybody beside her children, and how could he know of that particular relation? Although.. if they do have the same surname (they might not, if Mrs. Augustus got back to her maiden name and Clinton kept his father's), and they do have the same shade of red as haircolour, he might really not be the sharpest tool in the box.

Nope. We've been calling her "Mrs. Augustus" or "Clairemom" in the absence of any specific data. I'm hoping she at least acquires a first name at some point.

I'm kind of hoping we find out Clairemom's name when Clinton goes back to his home and Chad is there saying: "Clinton, dude! I had no idea [name] was your mum! Small world huh? Why didn't you stay last night? Come on, let's go get some coffee and catch up."

Chad's complete lack of shame in walking to the front door in his underwear because he wanted to know who was at the door makes me wonder if Chad has been such a long term fixture her children were the only important people in her social circle Mrs Augustus hadn't introduced him too.

You people talking about baby face, I'm 23, and this year alone, I've been cast in two plays as a pre-pubescent child. I amazed several cast members/cast members' parents by being old enough to drive. Last year, I had a woman accuse me of having a fake ID when I tried to buy beer.

I'm fine with looking young, I just want to look old enough for people to stop assuming I'm a child.

I know it'll be nice later, but right now, I'm in the place where it sucks.

You know, this comic is actually rather telling about Claire's actual views on casual sex.

She's not actually judgmental about it, she was just jealous of Marten's one night stand, when she Wasn't Judging™ Marten.

Looks like Claire is on the express train to hipster-town, sad. Also makes it very tricky to get a useful job in the real world.

What?

Coming this fall to NBC... the new comedy drama starring some asshole from Gilmore Girls... Judging Marten.

Now I'm genuinely trying to figure out if Marten would be played by Dean, Jess or Logan (Sam Winchester, Peter Petrelli, or Cary Agos from Supernatural, Heroes, and The Good Wife, respectively).

I thought it was more telling about how the characters align.  Claire sets herself up as chaotic, taking things as they come.  Clin-ton sets himself up as lawful, catching a slacker porking his mom is a wrong to be righted.

From Crisis to Crisis? Sounds a lot like DC Comics, doesn't it? Am I right or am I right?

Hmm!

Claire's so utterly Lawful when it comes to marital fidelity and library usage, though.

Hmm.  Claire and Clin-ton both seem neutral-good.  Even having the same overall alignment won't keep them from clashing at times.  Damn, I'll have to look to see if there's a QC character alignment thread.

Good, he didn't forget, he just hasn't made it to the hotel yet. And Brun's introduction to the rest of the cast is now delayed by 6 months of real time and 2 days of comic time.

Jeph sure is HARPING about that HARPOON, isn't he? Maybe he should write a metal song about it- for the HARP.  :claireface:

Why would Claire be excited about meeting her own mom?

Good job pointing out 'the thing' to Claire. I think she's going to need a lot more reminding of it though... Also.. Don't you have a comb anywhere? Dammit man, that side hair is really starting to bug me.

What're you crazy? It's not only the no glasses, he also looks a hell of a lot better with that side hair.

Actually, Clinton, I'm fairly sure that what you're describing is called 'being an elder sibling', especially in the context of a younger sibling's personal life!

That said, don't we all do things like that? Some of us are better at forethought than others but, in the end, we mostly think "I want..." first and then find ourselves racing to fix the resulting problems! At least Claire's selfish impulses seem to be mostly in the area of "I want to help!"

I still want to see Claire meet Brun.

And nice going there Clinton for pointing out 'The Thing' to her.

Claire's comb ran off to join the Foreign Legion rather than face another day trying to straighten her hair.

I think the best thing ever would be an arc where, at some point, Brun and Bubbles hang out.
