Bass Of Operations

She can't help it, she's drawn that way.

William Burns

Is it OK that I think Claire's mom is really hot?

Mark

:V I wanna move out! :T OK

Gino Arizmendi

Hmmm... It's been some time since we haven't seen Deathmole. Couldn't they use a new bassist ?

Etienne M.J. Dubourg

I had that exact moment when I told my mother I was moving out.

Patrick Liston

Also has band name written all over it!

Residual Teenagerhood is the name of my new Ramones cover band

Or the Barney Miller theme.

Peggy Youell

NGL, my reaction to Claire's mum would be totally the same as Marten's. :p

Jon Chaisson

I assume Residual Teenagerhood is the name of Claire's mom's prog/funk band?

drij

I think she's a year or two older than "half his age + 7".

BobC

There's evidence that Claire's mom would not be bothered about age differences.

Gary Walker

Exactly how I got into the bass.

Gary Walker

Claire was 24 before the latest time skips, maybe 25 now? Marten is younger than Dora, who was 26 when they started dating, that was maybe, I dunno, 2-3 years ago in comic? It's never really clear. So Marten's probably no more than 27-28, so not really a significant difference even if I'm off by a bit.

Eric Sieck

Is Marten trying to get to first bass with Claire's mom?

BobC

I thought the phrase "Residential Teenagerhood" and I was all confused. I assume the "...it'll pass" balloon is Mom talking? It's hard to tell. Also, I hadn't thought about this before, but I guess Marten is quite a lot older than Claire? She was an intern at the library, and I guess we presume he's...at least upper 20s? He could be several years older. I don't know if Jeph has established ages of characters specifically or no. Anyone know?

Craig P Steffen

Claire's mom = awesome

Edward Clayton Andrews

Whelp, time to turn Claire's bedroom into that home studio you've always wanted.

Buck Caldwell

Residual Teenagerhood is such a good word that I'll start applying to people. Obviously due to my residual teenagerhood.
