Page 56. And the last time I’ll draw that robot for a good long while.
No update on Thursday because I’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving. Also, the next two pages are a double-spread so it makes more sense to put them up on the same week. In the meantime, I’ve opened my ask box on Tumblr, so ask me some OHS-related questions!
Yaaaaay! I was dedperately waiting for this page. Last one was the perfect birthday preswnt! <3
More making out, less robots Blue! :D
And I have to say that is the dream right there. Guys making out with giant robots in the background. Sighs..
yayayay good boys
Aww! Awwwww!
That was truly all he needed. Reassurance. Someone to be certain where he wasn’t. Someone to take the wheel.
Oh no the robot likes to WATCH
Total WIN.
AND, boys, good use of the office furniture. The desk, the couch – where do they kiss next? The suspense…
*squeaky noises*
I like how the robots in the back:
“Can I get you guys something? Some snacks? A condom? Let me know…I’ll just be sitting here…”
I just discovered this comic today and read from beginning to here. I need more like — now. Like air! But I will wait patiently.
I just want to say (on this page and the previous one) that I love the way this progresses – from the way Al can’t quite finish his rehearsed ‘this is a mistake’ speech, to the way his reasons progress from ‘sensible’ practicality (we have work to do) to slightly more sincere concern for Brendan (this isn’t right for you) to what’s really bothering him (that he’s completely out of his depth); he’s got all these layers of rationalisations and Brendan just patiently waits for him to get to the last one so he can deal with that. Beautifully structured, as usual. It all makes me feel rather worried about what happens between this flashback and the first pages of Chapter 1.
Brendan is just the sweetest guy ever, and he’s cute and knows how to build robots. Can I take him home?
Found this comic the other day through a rec on The Young Protectors and have just caught up. Beautiful work, and a strange, beautiful world. <3
Sola! I’m so glad you like this! Very different from the Young Protectors but a lovely story just the same.
When your seventeen or older, THAT’s when love knows no age. I thought I should clear that statement up. :D
I read this and breathe a sigh of content. The first happy sigh of the day. You made my day.
brendan is gangster.
he was all “uh huh. … you’re really going to have to do better than that, old man, if you wish to defeat me” to mister alastair. “you didn’t seem all that worried about age when you were chowing down on my frank-and-beans \ now were ya, guv’nah?”
(al was the one who had wanted to do more nookie, whereäs brendan wanted to do more work, anyway.
right?)
whilst the gothic robot looks on approvingly:
“`your mouth might have been saying ‘no,’ but this Burgeoning i feel under me seems to suggest a big old honking ‘yes’ to me, papa bear!´
‘brendan?’
‘?’
‘shut up and kiss me.’
“‘*mmph*'”
Panel #2 just made my eyes well up – I’ve never seen Al as vulnerable as he is in that panel.
Blue, you’re awesome. Happy Thanksgiving!
Just found this comic about an hour ago and read through the entire thing. This is so very cool. I love how you merge a romance into a sci-fi storyline so fluidly. Very awesome! :)
Seeing sweet, vulnerable Al is doing wonders to me!
THESE TWO ARE TOO PERFECT TOGETHER
This page was posted on my last birthday… I LOVE IT *@*
I’ve always been a fan of the ass grab. XD
Just gotta say what a pimp Brendan is. I’m reading back and maybe it’s too old to comment but what a got-daaaaaamn pimp that boy is. He keeps the robos and the hos in check.
Brendan is very good at reaching the root of a problem, it seems. He seems to know when not to riposte every statement.
