The weirder angle to that is that was less then a month before Marten and Claire got together.
Schrödinger's grad student is a remarkably good description of my current position; thank you Jeph!
"Schrödinger's Grad Students" sounds like the name of a college band.
Claire has naturally curly hair - so it expands and contracts depending on humidity, length, activity, etc.
More reason to open that Book Store! Cmon Jeph, Semper Legens Books and Coffee is waiting!!
There's only one thing to do, Marten: Spend more time with the band!
"Mr Reed? My name is Terry Hampton and I'm the editor-in-chief at the Northampton Recorder. I've been reading your music and pop culture blog for some time now and I'm wondering if you would like to do a regular column for our publication; print and on-line editions. I understand that the campus journals for both Smif College and University of Massachusetts are interested in reprint rights too."
Unlikely to be an issue. Know what universities like more than skilled staff? Staff that can do the job but get paid less as they are not qualified!
Love the Quantum Nerd joke. Here's one I heard: Schrödinger is driving when a cop pulls him over. The cop asks "Do you know how fast you were going?" Schrödinger replies "No. But I know where I am." The cop thinking this a strange answer asks to search the car. The officer opens the trunk and asks: "Do you know you have a dead cat in your trunk?" Schrödinger responds "Well, I do now!"
Way to spoil the afterglow there, Reed! Basically, Tai has sinecure by way of ambiguously-stated blackmail. If the board of trustees ever changes enough that the couple she caught having sex in the library are no longer in charge, then she is in trouble and so is Marten. Finally, is Jeph giving us a clue to Tai's game plan in the strip title? Is she trying to work off as much of her student loan debt as possible before dipping her toes in the world outside academia?
Also, Martin has some blackmail material. He got a 30% raise and some job security out of it. <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1134" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1134</a>
If I recall correctly there were university some higher ups that got caught using one of the study rooms for non study purposes and while Tai never threatened to blackmail they feared she might and her position has been secure ever since. However, if they retire or take a job at another university the next administrator might do some reorganization which could jeopardize everyone's job..
inb4 Steve's cereal has sex hair
I'm Calling it: Claire applies for the job, The Board gets wind and overrides Tai. Instant existential crisis. Thank me later.
Or they all manage to sort it out through communication and mutual support but Steve runs out of cereals and he is the one with a crisis.
Claire’s sex hair is likely to achieve sentience any day now...
Now picturing Claire with Medusa-hair combat powers...
I’m thinking we’re going to have to upgrade the breakfast Steve eats from Toad in the Hole to a Full Irish Breakfast.
Maximum poof happens after bedtime antics
I don't know...Claire's hair was mighty poofy when Faye & Bubbles returned home to see the aftermath of a disaster with Pintsize.
i know this isn't the point of the comic but MARTEN AND CLAIRE NAKED AHHHH
Tai is a law unto herself.
For now at least; that won't last forever and the day it changes will be a dark one for her.
Wait. Is this comic still about Marten? Weird
I think that Jeph is making an effort to go back to making it about Marten and Faye, at least for now.
It's weird seeing them laying in bed together like that as at this point I view Marten as just an asexual being.
Which as effectively been the joke of the comic for almost it's entire run...
Smif knows a good deal when they have one. They have a grad student running the library, with Marten and students working there. It's costing them peanuts, as long as nobody notices. Or complains.
but I don’t think Tai or Marten would be working full time for stipend-like wages. they got to be making decent money
wasn't there a strip saying that Tai graduated "a year ago" released SEVERAL years ago???
Yes there was. I was going to bring that up
Sex hair for all!
Claire and Marten are so cute in this scene! Her arm freckles are adorable.
Frankly, I suspect Jeph's Freckle Brush died less than halfway through. There's room for WAY more freckles!
Marten and Claire are adorable
I bet at this point Tai is actually the one running the library from the top! Marten and co. won't have even noticed. Heck, Tai herself probably hasn't even noticed!
I agree. Even though the library manager and assistant positions are SUPPOSED to be student positions, I can see the Board of Trustees deciding to formalise Tai as being a post-grad employee (Marten too) on the grounds that they figure they would prefer changing the rules over the chaos giving the facility over to student control would entail.

Scholastic action at a distance
What's in the box???
Serious, Claire needs a time machine, a competent therapist, and a kick-ass academic advisor. NOW.
Sadly, she has none of those things. But at least there’s Pintsize.
