Comics aren't nerd anything, they've been mainstream since the 1930s, honey. And a large number of them haven't been comical, although there are plenty which are. This one may be modern but it's nothing really new. The same story could have played out in a hetero relationship between supportive adults as far back as my mother's era. I wasn't using her as an authority, just a representative of the populace. And to note that only a little child thinks comics have to be funny. This one may be modern but the story here isn't all that new. It's personal and fresh to the author, and I'm happy for them that their life is working out so well, but the plotline is straight out of a 1950s romance comic.

Plotline? You're giving this low effort, meaningless shit too much credit.

Hey how about instead of picking fights on the Internet, or even while picking fights on the Internet, why don't you go to your nearest blood bank and donate a pint like I'm doing now?

Your "humblest user" award is in the mail.

Not wanted. Get your ass out there and give a pint. You'll be glad to know they're not excluding for Mad Cow anymore, so you should be fine.
