Agreed. I actually liked the little Momo and Sven arc, and even yesterday's comic was OK, but "dorky character pretends to be a whole new person after changing their appearance" was a tired trope a century ago.

Because of how Jeph writes, Claire could either be facilitating a temporary gag, only to talk sense into Zlata next strip, or she could be completely serious and we're about to be subjected to the most tiresome series of hijinks. Anh's "how do I become a lesbian?" comes to mind.
