Aaa sorry this went up late! I literally fell asleep before I could schedule it last night. Having a puppy is a lot of work y'all

This hits me right in the anxiety center of my feels. I have an exam today and I have been stressing about this course like crazy.
Next story arch.... Single White Librarian.
shhh ur fine we lov u keep being a badass
Being a smart-ass clearly improves Clare's mood. She needs a job where she can just make devastating quips all day long.
Have you met many librarians? She's studying for the <b>perfect</b> job for that.
I love that Marten continue the habit of making Claire coffee anytime they have a heavy conversation.
Babies are vicious tho
ah, now THERE'S the dynamic we've come to expect of these two!
Baby fighting? No, it's wrestling where babies win every time. I can't count how often I was pinned by infants who celebrated victory by falling asleep on my chest, sometimes for hours.
Yeah... I never objected to losing those matches... <gooey dad-of-daughter="" sigh=""></gooey>
We will forgive lateness if you share lots of puppy pics.
Fail 'til you succeed, Claire.
Evidence suggests that Clinton would also be supportive: <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3773" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3773</a> and the next strip...
Yup. He has grown up a lot since we first met him. Character development is one of the (many) strong points of QC.
Never get in a fight with a toddler. They have no idea of their own strength and don't hold back. They can wreck anything. Tore my glasses apart...
I remember one time when my eldest was barely a toddler and she was poking at this... trumpet stand? Or something. Anyway, someone was like "make sure she doesn't carry that off" and I said "no way can she lift that" and whoosh she one-hands that bad boy to head level. Toddlers are terrifying.
Marten's appalled expression at the suggestion that he could ever be disappointed in Claire
Your new baby kicked your ass?
Puppies are as bad as newborns for sleeping
Coincidences in webcomics - Something Positive from earlier this week (which only came up in my RSS feed today for some reason) <a href="https://www.somethingpositive.net/sp08212018.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.somethingpositive.net/sp08212018.shtml</a>
Maybe it only came up in your RSS feed today because <b>it</b> got posted late, too. o_O
Hahahaha. Love this so much. Now you (Jeph) have to show us what Marty vs Baby was like.
BONUS COMIC! Marty v. Baby.
I'd die if Bubbles was disappointed in me, that would be worse than any arsekicking. Oh man.
Depending on what you did, and just <i>how</i> disappointed it made her, you just <b>might</b> die. She'd probably feel bad later for killing you, but if you deserved it, well...
Bubbles’ stern lectures sound worse than kicking one’s ass
Why do I want to see Martin and Clinton in a nerd fight?
It would look a lot like Martin va Angus.
I couldn't handle how cute Claire was in that last panel.
Oh, and Jeph? SHAME on you for blaming poor Ollie!
As I've said before, this is very much all about Claire's self-expectations, not what anyone else expects of her. Regarding his fighting skills, Marten has beat up some kung-fu monks but I'm not sure how much of that was a fluke. I don't think that they were ready for his skillet-fu! In any case, asking Bubbles to give someone a stern talking-to is a far worse fate than any application of physical violence. Knowing that she is DISAPPOINTED IN YOU is very much a fate worse than death!
I don't remember the monks...what strip/arc was that?
Those that would profess the ease of taking candy from a baby have likely never *actually* been tasked with doing so. Just saying.
“Marten vs. the baby” has my bonus strip vote in perpetuity.
Also, babies have those razor sharp fingernails, it's just not a fair fight. As for why this was posted late, a couple more puppy pictures will definitely ease forgiveness ... :-)
In Bubbles’s current mood, she’d smile, close her eyes, and say “Be nice to your sister.”
And that would still be enough, because Bubbles is frickin' enormous and badass.
I can think of zero times in this comic when Clinton has given Claire crap for anything except in respons to a larger crap she gave directly to him.
Marten’s Dad’s wedding debrief?
In Marten's defence, that baby was a jerk.
It was the Beastly Baby: <a href="https://goreyana.blogspot.com/2008/11/beastly-baby.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://goreyana.blogspot.com/2008/11/beastly-baby.html</a>
C'mon, Clinton is 7/8ths scale Marten. Unless he has a buzzsaw attachment for his prosthetic hand, I think Marten could take him.
I'm visualising Sideshow Bob and Cecil's sissy slap-fight at the end of that episode of The Simplsons.
Don't sweat it Jeph; I'm sure my F5 button will forgive you, some day.
