Dustin
2018-09-05 01:43:35 +0000 UTCSo, clarified Claire?

2018-09-04 13:41:51 +0000 UTClmfao, that sounds absolutely on point for Tualatin.

2018-09-04 02:18:53 +0000 UTCThis is why I <i>asked</i> if Ben was assuming Jeph forgot. I don't do Twitter, and I knew if Jeph <i>had</i> mentioned anything, that was why I would have missed it.

2018-09-03 22:47:49 +0000 UTCCan't believe I missed that. Time to hand in the geek license.
2018-09-03 22:11:56 +0000 UTCIt should be noted that this guest comic is one of the ones that most fans would like to be considered actually canonical.

2018-09-03 20:58:30 +0000 UTCI think the third joke was that her answer itself was also in iambic pentameter. "Oh <b>joy</b>ous <b>day</b>, you <b>passed</b> the <b>test</b>! You're <b>hired</b>." (Technically, in the order they appear in the panel, that would be the <i>second</i> joke, the first being Marten's question about the application itself, and the third being Tai's "Dewey Decimal System? Do we ever!" comment.)

2018-09-03 17:51:22 +0000 UTCTotally Claire. She should join the Little Hats club. Their motto: “Eeeeee!”
Holly Nelson
2018-09-03 17:46:46 +0000 UTCEhh. You've got to admit. Claire is smokin'!
Alex Borders
2018-09-03 16:30:55 +0000 UTCok, now trying to figure what third joke was will bug me ...

2018-09-03 14:43:08 +0000 UTCIt fits the narrative tho, doesn't it? so All Good.

2018-09-03 14:42:14 +0000 UTCLove Tai's reaction to the glitter-burst off Claire. :D

Peter Jensen
2018-09-03 11:07:47 +0000 UTCThinking about it, I seem to remember that Tai's secret was that no-one noticed that she had graduated and, in any case, she was good enough at the job that no-one wanted to rock the boat and maybe incur recruitment costs so long as she didn't too obviously drop the ball in some way.

Mark
2018-09-03 09:48:44 +0000 UTCHasn't there been an actual reference to Claire having traits in common with Disney princesses, or am I imagining that?
Mark
2018-09-03 09:41:04 +0000 UTCIt's finger-lickin' good!
Dean Reilly
2018-09-03 09:13:27 +0000 UTCAdam: Fair point, but in this case he kinda confirmed it: <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/1035138527640485889" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/1035138527640485889</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/1035138674890088449" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/1035138674890088449</a>
2018-09-03 08:47:36 +0000 UTCActually I have it from Jeph's own keyboard. He mentioned it on his own forums over the weekend.
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-09-03 08:41:56 +0000 UTCAre you just assuming that Jeph forgot? Maybe it was all intentional. After all, we know from the whole Faye/Bubbles story that he can do some serious long-term planning.
awgiedawgie
2018-09-03 08:22:26 +0000 UTCBut did Jeph remember, or did he get some input from a commentary here?
Jan Gampe
2018-09-03 07:22:48 +0000 UTCDetails can get hazy. I originally thought it was Tai who stumbled on the university trustees in the study room until someone corrected me that it was Marten and Dora.

2018-09-03 06:45:30 +0000 UTCor pass me some.

2018-09-03 06:42:28 +0000 UTC"Claire, please turn down your kawaii a few notches!"
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-09-03 06:35:17 +0000 UTCIn panel 3, we learn that the special effects means that it is genuinely difficult working with a Disney Princess! Meanwhile... Yes, Jeph has found out that he forgot a pretty important plot point when he started writing this arc. So, he's sort of trying to patch that problem and, in the process, probably made one of the funniest jokes he's managed in months!
Ben Russell-Gough
2018-09-03 06:17:54 +0000 UTCShe's not smoking anything. That's all Claire... Claire Intensified, and then some.

2018-09-03 04:49:20 +0000 UTCI love how Tai winces at the glare.
Nobilis Reed (personal)
2018-09-03 04:44:25 +0000 UTCForgetting how I got a job is totally something I would do. I mean applying for jobs is stressful so all the details would just go out the window.
2018-09-03 04:28:56 +0000 UTCTai - whatever you're smoking in panel 3, maybe take it down a peg.

2018-09-03 04:27:37 +0000 UTCHot take: Marten is kinda stupid sometimes

2018-09-03 04:27:11 +0000 UTCTook me a while but here you go: <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=691" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=691</a> If this deep-dive has taught me anything, it's that the archive literally is a hive of arcs in the QC universe.

2018-09-03 03:58:25 +0000 UTCI love Tai squinting in the third panel from Claire’s anime sparkle.
Populuxe
2018-09-03 03:47:30 +0000 UTCIt is nice to see Tai again. I remember the joke she told when she first appeared. “Dewey Decimal System? Do we ever!”
Philip D Jones
2018-09-03 03:26:24 +0000 UTCOr she's blinded by the glow.
awgiedawgie
2018-09-03 02:59:18 +0000 UTCI don't know for sure, but I think it's been at least a couple years. It's been over a year since Tai graduated, and she was still a student when he was hired. But I remember clearly how I got hired for my last two jobs, and that takes me back nearly 20 years. Not to mention that how Marten got the job at the library was a bit unorthodox, and thus even more memorable.

Bruce Steinberg
2018-09-03 02:53:42 +0000 UTCI wholeheartedly approve of this retcon
Fart Captor
2018-09-03 02:52:56 +0000 UTCIt's possible, but I'm inclined to think Marten remembers how he got his current job. How much time has even passed in universe since he was hired anyway?

2018-09-03 02:50:03 +0000 UTCThis is why a robust tag system with the ability to cross-reference characters and locations is so important. Gotta get one of those installed in my brain for real life.

2018-09-03 02:46:36 +0000 UTCLast time I saw someone or something that glowed that pink, the cognac was at a hole in the wall liquor store in Tualatin, and it cost $3000.

2018-09-03 02:45:43 +0000 UTCTai in panel 3 apparently got an anime-love-sparkle in her eye.
