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.
Bad Machinery

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.
