You Be The Judge

Claire wore the TEH shirt. Dora NEVER wore the TEH shirt. I think that speaks volumes more than a little nagging or self-obsessing here and there.

It's possible to be both. I'm living proof.

Yelling Bird

I think she nags at him because, yes, she loves him. But she realizes that Marten is capable of so much more. And slacker Marten would be a source of friction in any relationship. She wants a partner, not a man-child.

Michael Boettger

couples employment!! wouldn't that be cuuute!!

Joe

Uhm...no. I love Claire and I have loved watching her grow. And Marten is Marten, Iove him too.

Shawn K. Younkin

Is anyone else sick of Claire. She started as an actual person and now is a ridiculous caricature. She is self obsessed and not super nice to Marten. Marten is too big of a pushover sometimes to actually go find people HE likes and not just people that seem to like him.

But contrast the Claire shown today with the Claire we saw at the beginning of her internship. A lot more open, a lot more self confident

Michael Boettger

They have a long term romantic relationship here, and Marten has basically stated "whither thou goest, so shall I. So, yeah, Marten has to wrap his head around the love of his life feeling she might become a sex worker. Plus the idea that she's coming around to his mom's career path.

Michael Boettger

Tai is a friend. And gay. So there isn't a romantic/ component there. Marten can explain vaginas to Hanners, but as a friend. Claire, well, is Claire. Th

Michael Boettger

Martin. Frame 4. That. I have done that. So incredibly many times I cannot believe I did not notice.

Bill Hall

well if pintsize is gonna sexually harass his girlfriend i don't blame him

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

Poor Pintsize. I feel like even Marten doesn’t really want him around anymore.

I love in panel 3 how Claire finds a way to brag about her knowing the correct terminology

Bagge

Didn't Veronica suggest fruit smashing fetish work? A long, long time ago? For Marten.

Michael Boettger

I have a feeling Claire would approve of the foot puns. Possibly Brun as well.

Michael Boettger

It's always awkward when your partner reminds you of your parent

Bagge

Doc Marten?

Devin Gates

Well, since all the puns have been pretty well stomped into the ground, I’ll throw in a serious comment... Claire, the only person whose opinion of your feet matters is Marten.

awgiedawgie

That's a very different conversation when it's advising a friend on a date and your significant other.

Would that make Marten a ....footnote? ow ow stop hitting me.

SpookyPenguin

It's weird that Marten would be having a problem with this given just how blasé he was when Tai asked him a similar question: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1302 Maybe it's because this is Claire, and not Tai.

Elf Sternberg

Both correlate with the population being randier as a whole.

darklion

And the other shoe drops.

RobertC

If Claire can pull this off, it would be quite the feat.

Everett Bradshaw

Nope. We're ADHD as fuck and there's *always* another shiny to look at. Even if you're hyper focused on one kinky thing at that moment, your mind is actually on the *next* kinky thing, cuz this kinky thing is awesome and you're going to do it perfectly and right but just think about the next time!! It'll be better cuz you did it this time and next time you'll know more because of this time and just think what you'll learn next time to use the time after that and... Wait... Am I out of rope already?

I am right there with you. I don't like looking at my own feet, let alone anyone else's. But having been friends with a few foot fetishists and shoe/boot fetishists (apparently that can be a separate thing), it seems thankfully pretty harmless for the most part.

Samantha Yeaman

I remember reading that there's research that states that fetishes about body parts (specifically feet) increase as the incidence of STIs increases in a population and decreases when STIs are less prevalent.

"a foot in the door" claireface.png

Adam Friedlander

Years of martial arts have made me a connoisseur of strong, able women's feet but I lack the concentration to be a fetishist. There are so many wonderful distractions. Fetishists must have tremendous focus.

I'm not one to kinkshame, but of all the relatively mainstream fetishes, I just don't get the appeal of feet. A lot of people do, and good for them, but it will forever baffle me.

Peter Jensen

It is like being a foot model, only a little different.

If Claire decided to, would that make her feets ahead? ...I'll show myself out.

Thomas A. Dennis

Claire...no. Claire...No. CLAIRE. NO.

Joel Bateman

in today's job market it's good to be thinking a foot ahead when it comes to earnings.

Peter McDevitt

Marten should always be ready to have that conversation given his friends.

Mark P.

If Claire DOES have incredibly sexy feet, Marten's mom would definitely be the best person to help her get a foot in the door and take a step towards a new career path.

Samantha Yeaman

Well, if she can't get a librarian position immediately, this is nice and anonymous. Low chance of blowback into her professional life. At the risk of doing serious damage to Marten's psyche.

We all know the agony of the feet.
