Uh oh...

Will Weaver

“Hi Clin-ton!”

Ben Russell-Gough

FWIW, I'm not even sure that Jeph had decided to put Marten and Claire together at that point. She was just meant to be another strong-willed girl with immense personal problems in his life.

Had a rough evening, and this is the kind of thing I need to begin to cheer me up. Hopefully reading some more QC and smoking a bowl will help me from having shitty, depressing dreams.

I'm going through the archives and recently passed the strip where Claire was introduced, along with Emily, and Gabby who has gone to the limbo for Characters With Nothing Interesting to Do. Anyway, Jeph at the time pooh-poohed the idea that Marten might hook up with any of them ... How things change.

Or Roku's Basilisk. (Do a web search for that, I am NOT talking about the character here.)

Now AI literature camp would have been amazing to see. Imagine, nerds talking about Asimov, War of the Worlds, Hidden Markov Model Neural Nets, and whether or not AI would fuck things with graphic demonstrations. In the woods with minimal adult supervision, naturally.

I gave it a shot: <a href="https://imgur.com/N4gt2y0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/N4gt2y0</a>

Emily is BAE! <3

Miyaa

I can beat you anywhere! A hard left hook That’s all it took A Reading Rainbow!

I would read that fanfic

*Emily intensifies*

Is it supposed to be "saing" in the third panel and I just don't know that word, or should that be "saying."

Ben Russell-Gough

She's locked onto Clinton; that cross-eyed look happens when you're focussed on something nearby.

Carl Fink

Why is Emily practicing voluntarily crossing her eyes? (I can do that, and it freaks out your opthalmologist.)

Bagge

WOW!

Chris Gallaty

Perhaps they were just not self aware enough to _know_ they got laid?

David Paul

Oh they take their literature seriously. Their biology on the other hand...

Seth Aaron Hershman has they she pronouns

I feel like folks at AI camp definitely got laid and Clinton just didn't notice

Ben Russell-Gough

Prediction: Emily tells Clinton that she isn't busy anymore and she'd like that second date (startling Clinton, who thought that 'too busy' was just an attempt at a tactful dumping). They go out to lunch together and run into Brun - This is super-awkward, as I'm sure you can imagine. Brun bluntly tells Clinton that she thought he was attracted to HER not Emily. Whilst Clinton is in a flop-sweat, trying to work out what to say, Emily tells Brun that she is more than happy to share Clinton with her. Things only get more complicated from there on in.

Cody Renton

Emily doesn't have board privileges

Andrew

The coffee shop board is blank. HERESY!

Auros Harman

Having attended a “nerd camp”, I can attest that people there hooked up. (No chair throwing that I can recall, though.)

I love Claire more and more every comic

Ben Russell-Gough

Being Emily, she's unconditionally happy to see her friends.

Ben Russell-Gough

Poor Clinton! Claire even does nerd things in a more exciting ways that he does! At least we know now why Claire believes that the ridiculous shipping patterns in animé can be replicated in the real world: She's LIVED it! Oh, hello Emily! Your presence is likely to lead to... consequences!

Dylan T

Yeah that sounds about right for a group of literature enthusiasts.

Love the shadowing on Claire's hair in this 👍

My very last summer camp consisted of a series of near-drowning experiences. Intentional ones. Nobody could believe I couldn't swim, and kept making me prove it. (Edit: They called these incidents "Swim Lessons".) The experience did not endear me to swimming, nor to summer camp. Truth be told, I didn't learn to swim until I was 52. At which point I became a truly fast swimmer, easily covering miles in the open ocean. Now I teach open water swimming. Go figure. I'm just thankful it wasn't about sex instead.
