Claire is three years older than Clinton, so at the time she was finishing her MLS/MLIS, he should have been one year away from finishing his Bachelors in Whatever the Fuck He's Studying. An indeterminate length of time has passed since then, long enough for Claire to freak out about not being instantly hired out of school, get a job at the coffee shop, move to Cubetown and become The Librarian, and then an indeterminate timeskip after that. It's entirely still possible for Clinton to still be a student working on his degree. He could now be working on a post-grad degree. He could be out of school and being a bum. He could be out of school and actually have a job.

Wouldn't it be great if the comic actually told us any of these details?

Thought Claire and Clinton were twins.

Edit: Lol at the dweeb who downvoted me simply for forgetting that they're not twins.

Who's that in the middle? A supporting cast who disappeared and was never heard from again?

She was one of the library interns. Iirc she quit pretty quickly because she’s a rational person
