What can I say? It’s been a while since these guys have gotten all weird and ruminative, and what better place to do it than in the bathroom after smashing your face open in a botched sexual encounter? There’s only one or maybe two pages left in this crazy naked chapter, then things get a little less naked, but a lot more crazy!
I’m slightly grateful that they are still naked. I’m not perv-ing out on it. I just see a lot of dumb reasons and ways people are kept covered up, that it now annoies me.
As for the talk, glad to know he isn’t holding it against the kid.
It’s funny you mention that, because that thought did cross my mind when I went to start on these pages. It’s something that I’ve noticed in stories before too (although of course I can’t think of any good examples right now), and one of those things that has just always bothered me for some reason!
Love that first panel <3 Is it fun drawing all of those curves on Daniel? 😀
I really appreciate that Josiah sees the good in Daniel and encourages him to see it too; makes them good for each other. And trying to break down the things you don't understand into abstract thoughts to simplify them instead of fearing them (like most people), that's commendable, but still just an escape as he said.
Shower thoughts (kinda)!
It really is! One of the best parts about this chapter for me was getting to try and learn all this anatomy stuff more seriously. I don’t really have any formal art education so a lot of this comic is me learning as I go. I got to try a lot of new things, and getting to draw a couple naked dudes with different body types trying to figure out how sex works definitely pushed the limits of “new” for me!
And also yes, that is absolutely something I want people to take away from this. Nobody can solve your problems for you, but sometimes their support can at least help!
