I had completely forgotten that was part of what triggered Dora & Marten's break-up. Strip #1741, for the curious. (I remembered that he got pissed about her trying to find out what his porn habits were, after he'd specifically asked her not to.)

Since I started reading QC, I’ve been in and out of relationships, but.. Marten and Claire, and Faye and Bubbles and everyone else? They’ve always been right here. Thanks, Jeph. ❤️

My wife (we've been married for twenty years now, yay us) has told me that on several occasions she has seen other women attempt to flirt with me and has not felt any need to intervene because she could see I didn't even perceive that was what they were doing :)

Claire knows Marten, and she knows what she's got going with him. She doesn't need to be jealous. (Edit: This is how my wife feels about me, and she's completely right, and after many years I'm still not used to the level of trust she shows me.) I love the last half dozen comics so much.

Somehow over the years QC has become "Let's watch people behave in healthy and positive ways and watch out for each other and do their best." I think it's the only story where drama isn't created by people behaving badly. And honestly it's delightful, and I want more of it.

Now there's a comparison

Maybe, but with Dora part of her crazy response has to do with them hugging in their underwear. I suppose everyone learnt something from that exchange?

Bubbles might not have a take on it. Just because she's an AI doesn't mean that she necessarily looks into stuff like Cubetown. This is kind of like how, as a programmer, I don't really have a take on Silicon Valley. Sure, I know of it, but I don't know enough to really have a real opinion.

I was just thinking. Claire brings a sweatshirt, Dora would bring drama. Also Claire inherits Mom vibes

Next week: Steve tries Magic Spoon. His girlfriend becomes a leprechaun and chases after his lucky charms.

I think Marten’s a bit scared in panel 2 because he remembers his relationship with Dora fell apart she found him comforting an upset Faye in the middle of night like this.

It occurs to me that we haven’t heard Bub’s take on Cubetown yet. Maybe next page?

I live in hope of Platonic cuddling between Claire and Bubbles in sleepwear while they wait for their significant others to work through some emotional baggage outside :) because that would be adorable.

She did this time, yeah.

This drives home to me how healthy Marten and Faye's relationships are now. What a huge journey they've been on since the start of the comic.
Daniel Rydberg
But did Faye remember.
James Lomele
He did remember pants this time so progress

Damn you! This strip actually brought tears to my eyes.

Oh I love this. The difference between Marten/Claire and Marten/Dora is stark. Nothing against Dora of course… it just wasn’t a good match.
