he does have a helmet though, we’ve seen jennifer wear it before. so it’s possibly more an ethan thing than an asher thing in this instance.
Sirksome
Lol. Riding at high speeds with no helmet just to feel something. Doomed yaoi is so extra.
anon
@sirk: well even if ethan doesn’t rly care if he lives or dies i imagine he wouldnt’ necessarily wanna traumatize asher if they do get in a wreck or so versus dying in front of someone he dislikes outta spite lol (although other than mike i don’t think we’d get any more important deaths or so lol)
Time Sage
As long as it doesn’t turn into an achillian suicide pact we’re ok with doomed yaoi.
maybe amazigirl would disapprove of asher but amber basically told booster to push them together more so not sure what would rly happen since not like ashwer’s doing anything to where amazigirl would have to ‘step in’ or so
lol idk if amazigirl is currently in control tho i think the height would bother me to get that close over the roof, id worry about slipping off, tho i guess most ppl wouldn’t rly be on a rooftop like that and she prolly parkoured up there versus going up from within the buildings stairs
Imagine leaving this comment on any other superhero comic. I could never do this, that giant monster looks way stronger than me. Plus i cant jump that high
Bruno has mentioned several times that they’re (he’re?) afraid of wide buildings. This was brought up back in April, again in July, and late last month.
it’s just the pillar looking things, so maybe a modern art statue. I thought it was showing some kind of off-kilter sensation Asher was having, but he saw the AG suit earlier this morning, seeing her isn’t completely out of the blue.
I get the vibe that Willis was not feeling great by some metric when this was drawn. (I say this out of artist’s sympathy, not criticism.) The panel pacing’s fucking great but some of the details seem very “please god just let me be done so I can sleep”.
I think those two have enough plot armor to survive an accident (though perhaps not without injury). However, those nondistinct shadow people in the background better hope they don’t get run over.
I’m a big fan of Krispy Kreme plain glazed, when the neon sign says, “Hot Donuts Now”!
…Although, homemade donuts that you make by dropping dough rings in a vat of boiling oil is EVEN BETTER. I can remember making them one winter in an old Pennsylvania farmhouse. I assume they must have been hand-molded rolled dough rings, but somehow in my childhood memory I remember them as having been made simply by dripping and pouring batter into the oil, in a ring shape, which solidified instantly as the oil bubbled and sizzled and snapped and popped all around it.
Krispy Kreme glazed donut will always be a favorite,
I once walked three hours in the cold of the morning just to get to the nearest Krispy Kreme to be the very first customer in line for National Donut Day

What you are describing is called funnel cake
Laura
Oh, yes! I must have gotten those two memories mixed up. The donuts were made by dropping hand-rolled dough rings into the oil, and the memory of dripping batter must have been from making funnel cake another time. Thank you for helping me sort those memories out!
…Now where do the memories of making crispy rice noodles like that come from?
Hmmm?? So many deep-frying recipes to remember!
That is like asking me who my favorite child is. If I had children … and was a very hungry mother gribble.
I love the blueberry cake ones and the crullers the best I think. However, while I don’t really like filled donuts, you will notice that the rest look like rings. This is because anytime somebody opens of box of them I have the same reaction to them that Bilbo does to the One in Rivendell.
Cake doughnuts are the best. Heh. I used to have buddy who pronounced “dog nuts.”
VicMortimer
I’d rather eat actual dog nuts than cake doughnuts. Blegh.
Krispy Kreme Boston creme or raspberry filled are my favorites, but I’m all about trying new flavors. Just no fucking cake. They’re like a moisture vacuum for your mouth, the flavor is awful and the texture is worse.
Chocolate glazed stick (a chocolate cake donut in the shape of a log). I don’t know why I like them better than the circular ones. I think maybe because they get better coverage with the glaze in log shape, so they don’t dry out as easily. I could only really ever find them at Dunkin’ Donuts, and don’t live in that area anymore. Appears to be that they might not offer them anymore either, which is too bad. Most of the donuts in the grocery stores and bakeries in my current area are yeast donuts (like Crispy Creme), apple fritter like ones, or plain old fashioned ones. They don’t tend to have chocolate cake too often, unfortunately.
While growing up, my local grocery store (a Hannaford), used to do really good glazed chocolate donut holes. They would perfectly coat the donut hole fully with glaze, so it wouldn’t dry out for days. Later on they got really lazy with the glazing, and the donut holes would have a lot of spots without glaze (sometimes up to half or more of the donut hole). It seemed like those donut holes would dry out in hours. They never did get better after that. Hannaford also used to have some really good store brand plain old fashioned donuts in a box over by the bread (rather than the bakery). Not sure if they are still selling them or how good they are anymore, since I have heard that the owners have changed, but you might try them out if you are in an area that has that grocery store.
Kimi
I also have thoughts about places that don’t put either glaze or powdered sugar on their cake donuts when the location is in an arid environment. They dry out way too fast and turn hard. Some of the grocery stores around here just put the sprinkles on a donut hole without and glaze, and the donut hole just turns hard in less than a day and the sprinkles don’t stick to it. It isn’t as much of a problem in humid environments, as it is hard for anything to dry out if the dewpoint is above 60F (15.6C). In a desert environment, you want both the glaze (so it doesn’t dry out) and a fridge (so it doesn’t melt), or you just go and buy them as soon as they make them and eat it asap.

I mean, not that the dude didn’t have it coming, but it really looks like Asher put a hit on Amber’s dad, and not for particularly noble reasons.

May everyone get a great night’s sleep tonight.
davus
Willis Probably doesn’t do that his buffer is months long, so its probably more of a “eh good enough” rather than “I’m sick and still drawing comics.”
Newlland(Henryvolt)
My interest is being peaked…but I’m worried about that, given that old saying about how Curiosity Killin the cat.
Clif
Yeah, Joe Curiosity certainly had a thing about cats.
Thing2
Is spelling that word as peaked normal in the USA? I know it as piqued.
Marianne
Nah, OP has just mixed up homophones
Eric
. . . referring to Asher peeking at A.G. sitting on what he thought was the peak of the roof
Needfuldoer
I think it’s part of the plot thread that started earlier in the morning, when Asher caught a glimpse of the Amazi-suit in Amber’s closet.

Whenever Asher implodes, I hope he doesn’t take Ethan with him.
Clif
Whatever’s going on in that head of his, implosion is not what I’m expecting. He can jump any of several ways.
Adept
Badguy’s gonna badguy.
Radiance
Based off the fact that they’re not wearing helmets and Asher’s distracted, I’m a bit concerned.

Cape or no cape, nothing is gonna keep Amazi-Girl away from the rooftop.
Wonder what kind of donut she’s eating.
Laura
What’s your favorite kind of donut?
(Anyone and everyone, feel free to join in with answers of your own!)
Risky
My fave: probably chocolate old-fashioned.
Amazi-donut: cough medicine, or if that’s illegal at this point in time, crunchberry.
Laura
Why cough medicine?
Clif
Some people like cough medicine, particularly the cherry flavored kind. Though not necessarily because of the taste.
My philosophy is why have one favorite flavor of doughnut when you can have them all.
Deanatay
*offered donut from tray, snatches entire tray, runs off*
morleuca
Lemon curd filled glazed
StClair
another for chocolate old-fashioned.
Taffy
Like the beverage?

I like those sorta cakey blueberry ones with the thin glaze. Can’t eat more than one, but they’re great with some coffee.

What is your favorite donut.
anonymsly
My favorite is either a good maple bar or what my dad calls a Bismark but nearly everyone else in the world calls a Boston cream.
Mark
Mmm, the local supermarket makes Bismarks with raspberry filling. Nearly irresistable.
anonymsly
Oh my god those sound delicious. Chocolate + raspberry is almost unbeatable.
Opus the Poet
Buttermilk Cruller if a donut, apple fritter if it’s just something you get from a donut shoppe.
