Fuckface is about the largest pet as I think you could hide in the dorms and he’s already pushing it
I dunno maybe someone has a gerbil or a betta, but I doubt there’s any dorm kitties

And that’s a damned shame.

Someone in my college had a cat in her dorm room because she had anxiety and a doctor gave her a note that it was a comfort animal. Could be something like that going on. The school just said that her dorm-mate had to be ok with it and not allergic and no-one on the floor had a problem with severe allergies.

My mom had a cat in her dorm room for a time because the RA simply didn’t care. Two guys down the hall had a dog. One time, apparently, the cat and the dog were playing together in the hall, and the RA came by like, “Hey, some people are going to be touring here later, if the animals could just not be around then, that’d be good.”
at least it seems to be in a public(?) setting/i assume is in the cafeteria as opposed to ethan hurriedly getting lunch and shutting himself in his dorm
Well yeah, no point in brooding if nobody can see you do it.
Why do you think Batman always perches on top of gargoyles? Can’t be good for his back, but now anyone who looks up will see that he is the gothiest in the land.

He’s too high up for the ground to see easily. He’s up there to get a better view of the city. Now in the Batcave? THAT’S some quality brooding.
Thag Simmons
Honestly I wonder why Gotham has that many Gargoyles for him to cling to in the first place
Mark
They keep putting up more, to prevent his being lured away by Windy City.
Smallmoon
They uh…
They aren’t putting up more.
they just sort of… Appear.
Before anyone says it, The Wayne Foundation definitely isn’t stealth-renovating building exteriors to tip the city’s architectural trends. Several Pixtagraph users have verified footage of the gargoyles just sort of… Popping into existence, accompanied by the sound of grinding stone. Some theorize it’s some sort of infection that’s spread by spores, as ‘new’ gargoyles tend to appear on buildings downwind of existing gargoyles after very high winds.
FlyingFish
That or Goliath and the gang moved in.
Batman: I watch this city. I guard over it like–
Broadway: Hey buddy, your foot is literally in my ear.
Uly
Literally was just thinking that! Great minds, huh?
Daibhid C
I’m prepared to bet that there’s a reason in the comics somewhere, and it probably has to do with “Gotham was founded by crazed bat-demon cultists” nonsense.
Thag Simmons
aren’t they owl cultists?
Daibhid C
The owl cultists came later. I forget if they have any connection to the bad-demon thing or if it’s just a coincidence.

He’s up there to make sure all the people are eating plenty of bacon for every meal.
They are the Got Ham Residents after all.

hm, makes me wonder, how long could you shut in and ‘brood’ privately/skip classes before you’d get kicked out/asked to leave? i assume ethan’s still going to classes now, or just getting by tho i don’t think jacob would say anything too unless he thinks that ethan’s being a danger to himself
“Now to qualify as a candidate for friendship, fill out this questionnaire on Transformers. No, you don’t get to pick one essay question, you have to answer all five.
i mean, depending on how far he’s thinking ahead, him turning down booster and then them reporting to amber might cause more issues or so (tho not sure if the reverse would work if someone she barely knew approached her)
I am a big fan of how you made this particular strip. The amount of weight from the angles. I did have a crush on Mike for all the wrong reasons for so long (Shortpacked! But have since read all your work). Booster has been everything without the before and I think better. I hope they bring you as much as they do me. I know and kinda think I am happy Mike is gone but would love to learn slowburn how Booster came about. But repeat this particular strip slaps, comic fashion.
I can understand being mixed on Booster as their trait of poorly attempting to psychoanalyze everyone they meet made a pretty ambiguous first impression, but when did you sour on Ethan?
Honestly I’ve kinda not liked Ethan for years? I’m talking back to shortpacked. He’s that kinda nerd that I recognize as “oh, I wouldn’t have much fun talking to him” and beyond that I dunno. He never really had much going for him other than being nice and handsome. I’ll admit I’m a little more biased against male characters but for some reason I’ve never “truly” hated Danny’s brand of Dorkiness and Joe has been making strides to becoming my favorite male character. Ethan is like…a step above Jacob, another character who I feel like is sorta boring that i don’t particularly care for.
Honestly the most interesting thing about Ethan right now is how he’s handling his depression and that’s not exactly “fun”.
Regalli
Yeah, I like Ethan well enough but this is totally an accurate depiction of depression including the part where it’s just. Not fun to be around. (And I say this with sympathy towards fellow depression-havers, but sometimes we are not pleasant company.)
I mean, it is a good sign he’s being soul-crushingly gloomy in common areas, at least? Compared to shutting up in his room. He still appears pretty isolated, since he’s doing no conversational work, but it gives more opportunities this way.
Yeah, all this is pretty legit. Hope you’re all doing alright, I know it can get especially bad during the holiday season, and just a heads up, I’m available here on Christmas and Boxing Day for chat and what. Always interested in company that GETS it. ?

Off to a good start I think?

Well, so far the honesty hasn’t blown up in their face. That is a start, right?

This is the one thing I like about Booster, so far.
Theluxland
I think Booster is handling that really well actually.
Yumi
Ooo, I like their color schemes together. Somehow visually pleasing to me.

It’s like the two houses meme: goth and purple-pink.

Dana
We’ll see. Ethan might have just had Booster sit down so they could better pay attention to instructions to tell Amber off.
Mr. Random
Well.
He’s at least open to it.
IniquitousKing
I really like Ethan’s eyes in panel two.
And I’m really glad they’re starting things off on the right foot (IE: No bullshitting involved). Reckon shenanigans would not go over well here.
RassilonTDavros
Interesting, they’re going with the direct approach. Really curious to see how this plays out.
Lux
I really like the blunt honesty, tbh. It both acknowledges the current dynamic and makes it very clear what the goal/intended eventual dynamic is.

… that was not supposed to be a reply and I seem to have accidentally flagged that comment as well. Whoops.

Nah, it’ll melt too quickly for that, alas for him.
Sirksome
Now it’s gonna be real awkward when Mike finally come out of witness protection and reveals they were secretly Booster the whole time.
Yumi
Damn, I was hoping that wasn’t going to be awkward. :/
Clif
it was always going to be gloriously awkward when Mike reveals his secret identities. . Particularly for Asher.
Thag Simmons
Yeah, Mike is Jennifer, I thought we established that
Lan
Could be both. Have we seen Booster and Jennifer in the same room? I think not.
someone
Honestly, is there anyone that we can confidently say is not secretly Mike in disguise? I think not.
Sombrero
Joe.
Reltzik
We can confidently say that Mike isn’t secretly Mike in disguise.

That went way better then expected on a scale of purple to grey I’d I say magenta

I don’t care much for either of them so I don’t have much to say.
