I love how supportive Claire's mom is, however, that first panel hit me right in the dysphoria feels...("Little girl" miiight be what i've wanted to hear my mom say to me my entire life...i'm kinda 23yrs old and 6'2"...I don't expect that I'm ever going to hear it)
Oh man, I kinda thought the same thing, though I'm hoping for 'son.' I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that, and I hope you get your 'little girl' soon.
Who wants to bet that Claire's exam is, like, tomorrow and she will still be out of it?
Aww I hope not. I hope she has a day or two to come down.
I will never get tired of Tai squeaking, it's the best.
Claire's Mom is how parents seem to their (even adult) kids. We have necessary blind spots all over our parents. Veronica is more 3D, but still acts as a moving background. Her "She's being brave, you twit!" was a sudden sign of reality. I hope we see more of the person and not just her resumé. Similarly, Claire's Mom may get a first name (does she and I missed it?). We may see echoes of her marriage. She might even get upset about something. Or... we could see how Faye and Bubbles are negotiating their very difficult personal lives. (I want Truman Show level coverage of Faybles .... I suspect that this is unhealthy.)
I wonder what is going on inside this mother. By all accounts she has seen some shit, and she bears no apparent scars. That is uncommon. It is apparent how her children manage fear and anxiety. How does she, I wonder? Marijuana and cute young sweeties won't do it all.
It's simple: Her blessings (Claire and Clinton) are enough to raise her above her trials and troubles. She also has Chad, of course, who I suspect has taken twenty years off of her age!
Damn you, Jeph! How am I meant to maintain my callous, cynical exterior when you draw panels like panel 4? Seriously, I'm wondering now if we're going to have something really compromising happen because all emotional limits are off. You know the sort of thing that you are never sure if it really happened and you're afraid to ask because you rather are hoping that it was just a hallucination whilst under the influence.
Tai is soooo cute, her "squeak" is everything!
REDHEADHUG!
mums who accept their trans children without exception make my heart sing <3
Ahhh man it's so cute!
If this was Dumbing of Age I'd be getting ready for something terrible to happen right now.
Claire's bloodshot eyes are closed in every panel
It's a squeaking good time
Claire rising. (Starts on the floor, then low-hug against mom, medium-hug, fully standing group hug.) Jeph stretching his pose muscles again. I like it.
Tai sammich.
Tai squeaking just makes this. :3
Awesome comic! Am I high, or did Claire’s top change colour in Panel 2?
You are not high. Let's play my favorite game - see if Jeph reads the comments.
Aww, cuddle high is best high
Family fluff is good fluff! =D
#WHOLESOME!
Welp, I need to check for cavities, now
