As a draftsman, you can get used to typing left/one-handed. What it doesn’t look like though, is Jonathan Pryce’s “Elliott Carver” rando-key-mashing from Tomorrow Never Dies.
Hqving gone back just to find what folks are talking about,
1. Wow, that is solid artistry. You put a lot into that, and it looks really good. (it’s been a while since I saw one of your homages to Willis)
2. What’s inappropriate? Booster didn’t complain and even introduced Ethan after.
a/snow/mous/e
It’s inappropriate for Booster to text Amber about Asher performing cunnilingus on Ethan. That should stay private between the two of them—and Booster, and any random bystanders who happened to be in the area—can’t two fellas just have public sexual intercourse anymore without gossipmongers violating their public privacy?
TerribleTransit
It’s inappropriate for Booster to text Amber about it when they were perfectly capable of sending her a video file, or at least a picture.
well, amber did originally want to pair up him and booster, so i guess they’d thought it’d be ok to suggest a new person though it’s just bad luck on their part that it happens to be asher lol
Smallest campus ever, but I feel like that’s Indiana (?)*
(*not from the US)

This is the Bloomington campus I think. If so it’s actually quite large, with 45K students. I actually went to a smaller state college with about 8K students where it’s a little more realistic to run into the same people more often, but for flagship state colleges they tend to be the biggest universities around, even in a state like Indiana.
Yumi
But in my experience at a similar size college, it’s not uncommon to run into the same people. That’s compounded by other specific groups you might be part of. The trans community there maxes out at like two degrees of separation.
morleuca
Though that’s compounded by the fact that we are such a small percentage of the population…and we seem to have a proclivity for very specific majors.
At first, I thought you were confusing “his WINGMAN” to mean Booster. (I like the mention in the comments of using “wingmate” instead) but then I see that I did make the error of using “he’s” when I should of said “they’re”. Thanks for pointing it out!
To be fair, he kinda needs somebody to be there for him like that atm, or else he would just be staying in his room avoiding all contact and probably teetering on edge of Suicide.
There’s a difference between ‘wingmanning’ and ‘muppeteering’. If Booster had been behind the wall instead of on it, we would’ve been in full-blown Cyrano territory.
Booster not being visible two strips ago is a visual metaphor for Asher’s tunnel vision being suddenly enraptured… or they scooched over in a narrative-convenient way.
Yeeee that was me. I got kind of exhausted by life and the sheer amount of booster hate but if anyone wants to take over I’d encourage it
Kinda nice seeing people remember my lil booster love threads :3

*Booster teleports in* “My services are needed.”
*hoping Asher doesn’t just want to know who’s Ethan’s stylist*
Ana Chronistic
Text nothing, Amber’s gonna want a whole FANFIC about this lolololol
sultryglebe
I think Amber will be happy to do the writing on the fanfic.
Freemage
Yeah, but it’ll take longer for her to do, since typing one-handed is always trickier.
Casi
I’m still surprised Zack Snyder was able to not only write Suckerpunch one handed, but direct it one handed
Delmore Slim
I assume he must have been using what was in his hand to point

Risky
Since multiple boosters has been confirmed in this post-Mike world, they could easily be anywhere. Sic.
Yumi
Help, Booster being there the whole time is so fucking funny, milu that means they were there in that scene you drew I–
Angel
gotta love being the friend/third party that quietly watches someone else come up to your group/friends lol
Dante
They’re the 3rd Person POV (??)
Lysbeth
Booster is always there, just slightly off-panel
milu
It was already wildly inappropriate but this actually makes it worse ?
Dante
You mispelled better fbfjfj

Wait… cunnilingus? On Ethan?
katosen27
Booster, wingman extraordinaire.

Joe’s wingman status is… well it would be threatened if it existed at all.
Thag Simmons
Low bar to clear
brumagem

GholaHalleck
wing person.

Booster’s not only Ethan’s “new friend”, he’s also his WINGMAN! 😀

Nono
What’s the gender neutral version of wingman?
Yumi
I’ve had this conversation! We arrived at “wingmate.”
Dante
Better than “wingperson”, which I’ve heard as well. I might be stealing it 8D
Andy
Nono, stir up controversy first so winggate can be created, but I’d agree wingmate is a good term.
Kelibath
I came in late with “wingfam” a minute ago but you’ve all been discussing this since pre midnight UK time let alone US
Dante
WINGFAM. That’s delightful!! I tend to use “fam” to replace “dude” and “bro” as a gender neutral, skjdg – I’m taking it too 8D
brumagem
Wingfolk? No that’s more like the Rito from LoZ
Jonah Sanville
booster: the guy who helped kill ur dad has a crush on ethan
amber: this is gonna make an amazing fanfic
Jo_cubstar
I don’t think booster was here last semester so they wouldn’t know about everything that took place
Laura
Nor that Amber and Walky had collectively decked Asher last semester.
BigDogLittleCat
More like they’ve been filled in on the whole story- except the part no one seems to know, that Asher was involved.
Bysmerian
I got the impression that they were, but they were seeking a different roommate because their previous one was an asshole about their gender.
Nicoleandmaggie
Oh man. And yet, here for this drama still.
Willoughby Chase
Inbuilt Drama Grenade ready to go off at some point in the future
them malarkeys is going to be awesome

Ok, maybe they should bang to spite Jennifer. But it still is an explosion waiting to happen.
Jon
What
Is Booster Ethan’s fuckin handler or nanny or something now
Switchchris
To be fair, he kinda needs somebody to be there for him like that atm, or else he would just be staying in his room avoiding all contact and probably teetering on edge of Suicide.
Taffy
I think the legal term is “friend”.
Freemage
Booster is there to make plot things happen when Willis doesn’t want to spend a lot of time making it occur organically.
darkgloomie
Ah, so they’re the ninja.
Needfuldoer
Amber asked Booster to be Ethan’s friend.

bro have you never wingmanned for someone before

NGPZ
So Booster as teleport ability LOL
It’s like this comic practically runs on game logic XD
Dante
I wanna think they were there the entire time, BUT!! Asher didn’t notice. Bishie moment too hardcore.

Perhaps their power is invisibility

They are the reincarnation of Sergio Leone, penance for Leone’s misogyny.
Golden Yak
Booster was actually there all along, Ethan’s hotness haze just cloaked him, like a starship hiding in a star’s corona.
Jo_cubstar
Them* Booster is non-binary and uses gender-neutral pronouns.
NGPZ

Dara
Ah, Asher is the second-shift crew.
DailyBrad
I adore that Booster is present, but then again, I actually kind of like Booster, certainly more than a lot of commenters tend to.
Besides, if it gets Ethan to go to like, any of his classes, it’s probably a positive.
Dante
There’s a small but fierce Booster Appreciation Squad that did a roll call some time ago :33
Holly
Oh, I musta missed that! I like Booster too.
Looking forward to seeing their character growth.
zee
Yeeee that was me. I got kind of exhausted by life and the sheer amount of booster hate but if anyone wants to take over I’d encourage it
Kinda nice seeing people remember my lil booster love threads :3
Bash
They’re presented well here so I’m not seeing as much Booster hate as usual.
HueSatLight
Amber will be excited that Ethan is possibly enrolled in and going to class.
