BEEEEEEEEAAAAAMMMM!!!! *wince* I hate overly cheery people... but Claire is a sweetheart....
Tai dye! (New hair color!)
Can't believe I missed that. Time to hand in the geek license.
Love Tai's reaction to the glitter-burst off Claire. :D
"The Kawaii is STRONG with this one. "
Details can get hazy. I originally thought it was Tai who stumbled on the university trustees in the study room until someone corrected me that it was Marten and Dora.
Thinking about it, I seem to remember that Tai's secret was that no-one noticed that she had graduated and, in any case, she was good enough at the job that no-one wanted to rock the boat and maybe incur recruitment costs so long as she didn't too obviously drop the ball in some way.
In panel 3, we learn that the special effects means that it is genuinely difficult working with a Disney Princess! Meanwhile... Yes, Jeph has found out that he forgot a pretty important plot point when he started writing this arc. So, he's sort of trying to patch that problem and, in the process, probably made one of the funniest jokes he's managed in months!
Are you just assuming that Jeph forgot? Maybe it was all intentional. After all, we know from the whole Faye/Bubbles story that he can do some serious long-term planning.
I love how Tai winces at the glare.
"Claire, please turn down your kawaii a few notches!"
Forgetting how I got a job is totally something I would do. I mean applying for jobs is stressful so all the details would just go out the window.
Tai - whatever you're smoking in panel 3, maybe take it down a peg.
She's not smoking anything. That's all Claire... Claire Intensified, and then some.
Hot take: Marten is kinda stupid sometimes
Took me a while but here you go: <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=691" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=691</a> If this deep-dive has taught me anything, it's that the archive literally is a hive of arcs in the QC universe.
ok, now trying to figure what third joke was will bug me ...
HELLO YES I LOVE MEAT COMMENTARY
It's finger-lickin' good!
I love Tai squinting in the third panel from Claire’s anime sparkle.
It is nice to see Tai again. I remember the joke she told when she first appeared. “Dewey Decimal System? Do we ever!”
Oh man what gleaming heart eyes
Tai brings us back to Earth. 🙃
I wholeheartedly approve of this retcon
Not a retcon! <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=691" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=691</a>
It's possible, but I'm inclined to think Marten remembers how he got his current job. How much time has even passed in universe since he was hired anyway?
I don't know for sure, but I think it's been at least a couple years. It's been over a year since Tai graduated, and she was still a student when he was hired. But I remember clearly how I got hired for my last two jobs, and that takes me back nearly 20 years. Not to mention that how Marten got the job at the library was a bit unorthodox, and thus even more memorable.
Marten's noble, dammit!!
Snakebite! Rip off your shirt!
This is why a robust tag system with the ability to cross-reference characters and locations is so important. Gotta get one of those installed in my brain for real life.
Last time I saw someone or something that glowed that pink, the cognac was at a hole in the wall liquor store in Tualatin, and it cost $3000.
He most definitely did not remember.
But did Jeph remember, or did he get some input from a commentary here?
Marten is a living example of how I live my life on a daily basis XD
Tai in panel 3 apparently got an anime-love-sparkle in her eye.
Or she's blinded by the glow.
Panel 3 Claire is eeeeeeeverything. 😍
WILL YOU JUST LET HER HAVE HER MOMENT
