It’s not hard to understand how Brendan became a CEO. He may be young and puppylike at this point, but he’s also sharp as a tack and doesn’t take no for an answer. :)
LOL! Now I realize what it is that is familiar about Brendan… My husband was just like that when we first got together. After we dated about a week, I freaked out tried to dump him—kind of like Al (except for different reasons). He pulled the same thing, and his confidence was actually a huge turnon which was hard to turn down. Guess it worked. We’re married now. XD
I love this strip! I mentioned it over on The Young Protectors site because of some similarities — In the best way!
“I just realized that two comics that I follow (This, and The Young Protectors) are at very similar points in the relationships. Following an initial physical encounter (sex/kissing), there’s an enthused younger man and a squirmy older one.
Many, many other differences but both of the older men being rather dodgy about relationships amused me. I’m well aware that this might be a common theme with this kind of thing, but it’s just that both of the most recent pages end with a squirmy older gent and a slightly smirky/eager younger man.
Hey! Great page, you gotta LOVE Brendan. He doesn’t even stop smiling! It’s so sad to remember what happened to this bright young man when Al died…
By the way, a constructive criticism as a fellow artist: Al’s left hand on the last panel looks kinda weird, I think it’s the perspective. But the art is always great, I specially love Al’s body and his little tummy.
Whatever happened to this old Brendan? Is it the age? :(
It may be the Al and the dying thing ):
Brendan expected this. Gosh, I love how pragmatic and cute he is :))

Right? I really love his character. He’s very charismatic!
I would love Brendan for this page alone. He is so not shocked. He hardly even stops smiling.
At the last panel, it looks like Brendan is looking at us. Like he’s saying, “He is so transparent.” I love you! @;~ It’s a rose! I think…
Brendan is so perfect for Al. The way these two are together is fantastic. Through the good and bad ( and stubborn).
I CAN FEEL THE SMIRK AND HERE HIM TICKING THEM OFF AS AL SAYS THEM. Brendan is having none of it Al, deal with it.
Hear**
I just know Brendan thinking in his head:
“I know every reason your’re gonna list and I already have a counter point to each one, but it’s still cute of you to try.”
Also, there chemistry together is just adorable! :3

That’s exactly how I want my boyfriend to be. Your so lucky.

BRENDAN! SWEETIE! YOU ARE TOO CUTE!
It almost makes me do a double take from how their relationship is now and how great it was then
I love how confident Brendan is in the face of Al trying to end their relationship. So cuuuute!
I don’t know a lot about sexual tension, but I do know that agreeing not to act on mutual sexual tension doesn’t make it less distracting.
