            Really? I’m imagining a well dressed bear banging Ethan for all he’s worth. Unfortunately, Ethan is also a trout, and that causes some hardships.

              I certainly hope he’s not doing anything with my mom… That would destroy all respect I have for Mike. I know he’s a depraved bastard, and I love him for it, but I just can’t hold any good opinion of an necrophiliac.

                Mike actually has the ability to temporarily resurrect dead moms, in order to make them better able to accept his nickels. But in your mom’s case he makes an exception, just because.

    “He’s… a nerd! A nerdy nerd! A Trans-nerd! For other guys. I mean, for TOYS that only other guys would PLAY with. And Billie, you hate all nerds, right? Right. Good talk. Good talk.”

    I love Joyce’s expression in the last frame, and how it’s totally at odds with her dialogue. Her words are a fairly smooth deflection, but her tiny eyes and rigid mouth show us how hard she has to work not to say what the real “catch” is.

    Despite being in the background of several comics, this is the first time Mike’s said anything on camera. I like the idea that he hangs around all these people just waiting for the perfect time to be a complete dick.

    Something that interests me though, Mike just be a dick in DoA. That’s all we see him doing, but he, Ethan and Amber were friends in high school. I can’t imagine anyone being friends with Mike based solely on his on-camera behavior. In the beginning, Ethan and Mike hung out together a few times. I assume they still do. But there’s no indication of what they talk about.
