Heh. I was imagining the song as being a down-in-the-dumps, look-where-I've-ended up type of thing (maybe a cautionary tale), but I suppose the title could refer to more social activities.

Cosette has temporarily moved in with Penny and Will, while she looks for a place of her own. She doesn't know it yet, but she'll end up living there for a long time because nobody minds. Sara lives next door, and Emily and Raven often visit. There are lots of antics and snarky comments about indie bands, both at the apartment and at Coffee of Doom. Jacques Jeph draws a comic about them.

Why would you think that? While the move to Cubetown means Marten and Claire will have less contact with Northampton folks, it's not like the comic exclusively follows Marten. Plus when they do come back for visits, if anything it'll be a good excuse to have more people show up at one time.

Yelling Bird

It's not fixed-space. Bubbles and other AIs just use a slightly wider and more generously kerned font than the rather narrow one humans use. And Steve nailed it, of course.
Paul Zagieboylo

The drinks are just an excuse, Claire knows she can't stop so she's stepping away to go release a barrage of puns on the other wedding guests so that Marten and Steve can talk.
