It’s all relative
With his chaos level usually pegged about a fathom lower than the average Tackleford resident (eg Mad Terry, Potty Grote), Glenn is the perfect emollient for a lot of situations. Here he soothes a sigma wolf.

Knowing Rob heard Glaire’s excitement isn’t awkward at all
…Except that we know it isn’t going to happen again in that house
I like the implied “we will never speak of this again” in Rob’s dialog in that last panel.
I think Claire was too severe about her advice on avoiding poor uncle Rob. He seems a nice, supportive guy who is just stuck in a ad moment, but will be able to stand-up again. Of course, Glenn’s emollient power is helping both of them in building a great friendship.
I know he’s a fireman, but something about Rob says “mariner” to me. Or possibly “ancient sea god”. I noticed it on the previous page, too. Perhaps I’m simply picking up on his deep-seated enmity with fire.
I can easily see both. He’s spent a lifetime wrestling the elements and has seen the worst of them and what they can do to nature property and people. The ultimate cost of course is alienation from domesticity and everyday civilian life.
Yes! That’s it, exactly!
I would really love to know details of the mad weekend at the festival
Not going to lie, some of what Rob said struck a nerve for me personally.
Since we can no longer give comments an upvote please accept this reply as a verbal “thumbs up” in its place.
I wouldn’t have pegged Lottie as the average force of chaos even for Tackleford, but I guess if you average Shauna and Mildred, Lottie is about where you end up.
Also, good life lesson here: You are never as quiet as you think you are.
