Hey, don't knock banks - giving trans people semi-hard ID for nn years now... it's amazing how many institutions are like "We don't acknowledge your change of name/title... oh, it's on your bank statement? Well in that case..."

Ally Bank has no physical location and it's awesome.

Dolan

I've never had a bank that doesn't have a physical location. You almost always have to go to one to open the account in the first plave, even if younever set foot inside afterwards.

True about librarian stuff and Claire about materials things. Makes sense. And I always saw QC as being set in an alternate universe where the singularity already happened. There's a lot of futuristic stuff and they are more advance in a lot of things. So when I say futur I don't talk about our futur. But they are more advance than us in technologies, so it's not that crazy to think they have more digitized stuff like Banks.

Heh. About half of our library disappears if the internet connection goes down, including the catalog that serves as a guide to the other half.

Timothy Mann

Claire is in the process of finishing school to be a LIBRARIAN. I think that says something about her interest in the physical, not the abstract.

ysth

QC isn't future, just different

ysth

It's specifically a savings account he didn't have

My bank doesn't even have physical locations. I do everything online and it's the present. So I find it weird that in the futur where they have AI, it's not done online.

"I want to transfer this in-trust account to my now-adult daughter" (in town today and standing right here, who banks with the same bank). "Wait while I get someone who knows how do to that". Wait, wait". "Hi, I'm X. How can I help you?". Reiterate, blah blah. "Oh. Wait while I find someone who actually knows how to do that". Wait, wait, wait,wait..". Hi, I'm Y. How can I help?" Blah,blah, blah, fill out forms, wait, wait, fill out form, wait, wait .. "OK, now you have a brokerage account. But you can't actually transfer the funds for at least several hours. You can do that later over the phone, though." "Why's this taken so long ? (don't you guys know what you're doing). I opened the account in this very building" "Oh, we transferred that function to head office a few years ago. This is just a regular branch now (for people who can't work an ATM machine). Fume, fume.

The good news is, Marten, that a) chances are you won't have to wait very long and b) the process is usually relatively painless. Tedious, yes.

Jeffrey Nonken

I missed it until you said. Took me a minute to find.

Everett Bradshaw

Read a few strips into that arc; I miss Marten's band.

Marten _used_ to have a bank account- <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2418" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2418</a>

Nicki Faulk

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw that! :D ♥

Lars Gottlieb

I forget that it's possible to have an income without a bank account in the states. I had a savings account within weeks of being Born ..

Lars Gottlieb

Loving the Agents of Shield ref

Bagge

Yeah, one person in the relationship having to adult the other can very easily be problematic. Marten has some growth do do, methinks

Bagge

Martens mom is not really hot on that whole adulting thing either. Martens dad looks like he have tried and failed one time too many, if his reaction to the wedding travel tickets is any judge

awgiedawgie

My guess would be a one-piece. It could even be a leotard that just <i>looks like</i> it has a belt.

Ben Russell-Gough

I've got the feeling that the pleading and whining from Marten was really, really pathetic as she pushed him through the door to the bank, so Claire's in a "I ain't takin' no more nonsense" mood!

Ben Russell-Gough

Yeah, that's what sets up panel 4 so beautifully!

Ben Russell-Gough

No, Marten; I'm afraid that doing adult stuff doesn't go away, no matter how much you wish it would!

Brent Catherman

Seriously Marten? My parents helped me set up a bank account as soon as I graduated high school.

MikeT

I can see that Claire is going to be an "International Women's Day"-level pain in the ass haha

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Banks aren't even that great! CREDIT UNION, YOU TWO

You're right, I think. But just to play devil's advocate, some banks I know close your savings account if it hits $0.00. It's possible that's what happened to Marten. Or, and this makes as much sense, Jeph forgot.

Claire is the best thing that's happened to you, Marten.

Chris Heg

It's kind of a delicate matter when only one person in a relationship is financially responsible. Intertwining finances is tricky. It can be a test of their commitment to each other.

Bagge

Cute Marten and Claire are cute!

Todd Beaubien

Banks are so boring . . . until they aren't! Getting that home loan, paying off the home loan, having an emergency fund so you don't have to go into debt when that idiot hits your car - lots of excitement!

Populuxe

Claire is wearing a rather cute outfit. Is it one piece with a belt or separate matching-color top and shorts?

Erin Hartshorn

I rather like "Perhaps Computers."

09Klr650

I would assume they have a shoot-on-sight policy for Pintsize.

Mitchell Sealy

He doesn't seem to be loaded with cash or anything. He might survive a 10% pay cut, but it'd probably be a pretty noticeable dip in his quality of life.

Miyaa

Now I’m wondering what sort of specialty credit unions & community banks that accept Anthro-PCs like Momo & May? Does Pintsize is even permitted to enter a bank?

Daryl Sawyer

Come on, Martin. It isn't that hard. You don't even have to budget. All you have to do is pretend you make, say, 10% less than you actually do. You could survive a 10% paycut, couldn't you? You can survive this.

Marc Pengryffyn

If you've got the choice, go Credit Union (or genuine Community Bank) every time!

I OBJECT! Per comic 2418, Marten already possesses a (sparse, admittedly) savings account.

Joseph Houk

What's wrong with credit unions? Doesn't Smif have one?

That last panel of Claire looking severe and adorable is how she will look at the reference desk. Young men will spend hours thinking of questions to ask her, forget them as soon as they get up close, and blush and stammer like fools.

darklion

It's actually a sperm bank

Shawn K. Younkin

When you are opening an account you need to be there in person so they can check your ID in person and stuff.

Chris Luthe

Can you not just do that online? Or is the physical presence Claire's way of enforcing action?

Haha, I had the opposite problem and dragged HER into the bank. Fun times.

Mordaeus

This boy...

Bruce Steinberg

Marten looked so happy and carefree in the third panel. 🙃

Captain Button

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!

Ted Van Roekel

Ah, Marten, you're still ahead of where I was at that age. Took me until my mid-30's and the need to get out of an abusive marriage to learn how to budget.
