Yeah, I kept refreshing the page because I had nothing better to do and, like, I’m enjoying these two, and it took a while. Maybe the comic itself was waiting for Ana to be ready.
Its funny, I saw it empty and I considered making a comment. Then I said, nah it doesnt feel right >.> so I hit refresh and it was still empty so thats when I made my comment. Shoulda just went for it. But it doesn’t feel right if you aren’t at the top.
Some of us live in a timezone where this comic updates around 5AM.
I am sometimes up then but it’s usually because there is a child sobbing and I need to fix a problem. Sometimes insomnia. Sometimes am inability to get back to sleep after fixing problems for sad, tired children… I generally intend to be asleep then.
Imagine if this happened like 20 minutes earlier and Ethan just stopped doing the do and be like ”Hang on” and leaving Asher god knows how long to do the preorders
But what if Asher is or becomes also obsessed with Transformers and it’s just a plus? The attraction might become too powerful, and he’ll burst into flames.
Happy New Year! The distinction maybe arbitrary, but the motivation to improve is (at least temporarily) real – and desperately needed if I’m going to be honest with myself.
Well, yeah, obviously! ;-D
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of the “each time I’m still alive.”
Expressing a disattachment to life may be sexy to some. Not to me, though, these days.
Yeah, I’m sure being easily dismissed for anything at all wouldn’t have helped, but the muttering under his breath about how he doesn’t want to be alive is… mmmmm. Less seductive self-destruction.
Ethan may be depressed, but his weirdness lives on. Though it takes a special kind of weird to choose transformers over sexy times.
Also,
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Special kind of weird? Its smashing wet tissues together and maybe getting a terrible disease VS Robots that Turn into Awesome Cars and Planes (or maybe its the other way around?). I think that choice is pretty obvious.
I am kind of glad none of what I collect has preorder time issues, really. The figures I want tend to be pretty commonly available, but I know it can get real rough with exclusives.
I learned a little while ago some folks collect the little tabs from bread bags even. So I can be more surprised than I thought. 😅 Sub-cultures tend to be pretty cool and a neat place to learn stuff. So, if it’s ok to ask…
Y’know, given that Asher likes butt taco shirts and presumably enjoyed listening to Jennifer talk about Star Wars and Kit Fisto (if she talked about it with Raidah, she probably talked about it with Asher at one point), he might find such nerdiness a massive plus, he seems to have a fun dorky side to him.
[Star Wars and it’s non-movie lore isn’t really a niche nerd thing irl anymore, not in the same ways it was, is it still one in DOA though?]
I think the fact that cartoons are often still dismissed by the public and that the non-movie lore is deep enough that it still meets with the definition of niche nerd thing, which I would propose is roughly: an area of knowledge which seems like it would be beloved only by children but possess sufficient complexity to only be deeply understood by obsessively devoted teenagers and adults.
I do collect transformers… But all the ones I want tend to be from the 80s so I have to go to classic toy cons to find them. Found a cassette man last time and that was excellent
Does the right side of the comment look weird to anyone else? It cuts off after what would be half of Ethan’s face, except that his face is covered by some dark blob. Is that just the way my phone loaded?
No, you’re right. That’s the wrong side of him to be looking at. It’s because he’s turned his back on Asher to geek out on his toys.
Little did he know, this tactic seems to work on Asher quite well (see Ms. Billingsworth’s behaviour). At least, it does until Asher realizes it’s bullshit/abusive.
Remember folks, if you come from abuse (like me), “it feels like home,” is a VERY BAD THING.
Don’t settle for familiarity. You deserve to be loved, just for being you.
“Excuse me, but this slipshine is gonna have to wait til I pre-order my transformers. I hope you realize we WILL be fucking on top of my bootleg transformers plushies?”
“Dina banned me from banging dudes on top of her velociraptor bed plush, but I think if I say it’s for an emotionally positive reason she’ll let me have this one.”
ethan’s depression has been ignore and allowed to fester.
While everybody else has at least had someone to talk to, ethan seems to have been basically left alone to rot and wither.
Ethan doesn’t WANT to get better right now. Amber and Booster HAVE tried to talk to him.
No one can save you from yourself if you want to let yourself drown. You can’t save someone who has chosen to drown.
If they don’t want to swim to shore, you can’t MAKE them. No one wants to hear it, but you CAN’T SAVE SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T WANT SAVED.
Some people will get so enraptured in the misery of a death of a single person, they will never live life again. Ethan is a comic strip character, so he likely will recover, but some people will spend the rest of their lives miserable no matter how many people try to help them because they don’t really WANT to be okay ever again.
If (Don’t Fear) The Reaper can have cowbell, their rock band can have tambourine. Besides, Elphelt just dropped and she’s a death metal vocalist. Her voice artist’s scream in Elphelt’s win screen is fantastic.
All kidding aside, I think someone will have a massive emotional breakdown. The type where you end up at a mental hospital, and I think that person will be Dorothy. All of the crew needs emotional help after what happened, but Dorothy is absolutely not doing well and might need more help than the others if it seems more subtle, since she’s alone.
In Ethan case it’s not really that much of a secret, it’s just the first time Asher seen it. Who know, maybe this will turn him off enough to reconsider banging the walking red flag (it will probably not).
Well not for a pre-order, but I did leave an ex-boyfriend hanging because in my online gaming days, I was waiting for a monster that spawned every 24 hours to pop. We got bored waiting for it. So we started fooling around, the alarm on my game went off (it spawned) so I left him hanging, killed the thing, claimed my loot, logged off to go back to him (he was not amused), and attempted to finish what I had started (it did not end well).
I completely understand Ethan here.
And for those wondering, we broke up. Unrelated to this incident though.
The only reason Asher hasn’t spent literally every second since meeting Sal in college pining after her is because he subconsciously recognizes she’s not a nerd at all.
While that doesn’t make Sal a nerd, it DOES raise the idea of Danny and Asher in my mind, and I love Sal and Danny, don’t get me wrong, but if maybe Asher got incorporated into things in some capacity…
“Is having to compete for Ethan’s attention with transformers more or less demeaning than having to compete for Jennifer’s attention with absolutely nothing?”
Happy New Year! Also, our weather in Seattle didn’t really cooperate and we had an inversion layer and no wind which means all the firework smoke got grouped together at the Space Needle and it totally looks like ALIENS!!1! and I love it.
…I’m not the only one seeing those words, right? Like, I get the “they’re awful for each other but I love it” impulse, I can’t say no to Disaster Lesbians, but this has to be setting off all sorts of red flags for people…
I mean, it’s not setting off any new red flags for me. It’s pointing urgently at the one that popped up on “I should try to persist long enough” though.
Ethan.
Buddy.
Pal.
Friend.
Acquaintance.
Webcomic character I relate to a bit.
For the love of any gods that may or may not exist, man, please do NOT get distracted by nerd shite while you’re trying to fuck. I’m gonna relate to you too much and you’re gonna be even sadder.
It could be worse. What if Ethan only started blushing after breaking his deep, soulful gaze with Asher? If the Transformers alarm was the thing which made him blush?
Isn’t this a bit like what Jennifer just did? Blew off their emotional connection in a blatantly disregarding way? Seems like a “bad to worse” situation, considering he really has no connection to Ethan other than cheating.
Well, Ethan owes him nothing, they’re just fucking around and cheating
That being said, if Jennifer told him “hold on, I got an Ulta sale, be right back with you” it’d be 1000% different than “go away you’re garbage to me”
not saying horniness isn’t an emotion, but the [putative] connections between Asher and Jennifer vs Asher and Ethan are not the same kind of connection.
I mean he vibed with walky and owns a butt taco shirt, i’m sure hes got some nerd-adjacent interests of his own even if it’s not the the extent of amber/ethan’s interests in stuff (tho jen was a ‘secret’? star wars nerd too)
I’m somehow not really concerned with Asher *cheating* after Jennifer basically said he’s not her boyfriend. And also kinda said she doesn’t care if he’s making out with guys. It’s certainly not the best relationship communication, but it doesn’t sound like a committed monogamous relationship either. So…. i’m kinda rooting for Asher and Ethan now. Would i recommend this kind of behaviour to my friends? Absolutely not. But i want to see this in a comic 😀

EMPTY COMMENT SECTION
HAPPY TWO QUEERS
Happy two queers to you!!!
<3
A man of integrity
Hope he stay away from highways for now.
Plot twist: Asher somehow finds this even hotter.
Imagine if this happened like 20 minutes earlier and Ethan just stopped doing the do and be like ”Hang on” and leaving Asher god knows how long to do the preorders
…Ethan
inconsiderate-ness aside it’s good that he’s held on to some old hobbies/interests as opposed to completely not carying anymore lol
^
👆?
Yes, here’s our old Ethan. He’s still there, such a good boy.
Didn’t he make a big emo speech about Dinobot the second we first saw his big post-timeskip Emo makeover
Let Auld acquaintance not be forget and ne’er brought tae mind
“…Ain’t Tra-ans-formers fine?”
Is the emo hot enough to offset the Transformers obsession?…. Maybe.
But what if Asher is or becomes also obsessed with Transformers and it’s just a plus? The attraction might become too powerful, and he’ll burst into flames.
I’m pretty sure Asher getting into something that nerdy would be the final straw that sinks him and Jennifer for good.
Yes, I think she’d be a lot more bothered by him having a Starscream on his desk than the infidelity.
Jennifer also absolutely has a Kit Fisto action figure on her desk.
Nah. It’s in a drawer where no one can see it.
Nothing hotter than fact checking the Transformers wiki at 3 am in your undies with your bf.
why he was in my undies
wait, I do know the answer to this one
the undies were cosplaying
Isn’t that how Mile first hooked up with Ethan?
given how much fandom has expanded i’m sure there’s an overlap of ’emo boys’ and transformers fans the same way there are gothic weebs lol
There 100% is an overlap of emos n transformers lovers. Reference: I am one.
As opposed to the Francophile ouibs.
I wonder if there are any emo Transfo-Cyclonus.
Was right in the middle of typing my question when the answer presented itself.
So is Asher Tailgate or Whirl?
lol the ‘nerdery’ is real but i’m sure ppl have done this as like a tactic XD; tho i suppose you could still touch him otherwise XD;
Ah, Ethan using tfsource.
Don’t ask me how I know that.
I’M NOT ON TRIAL HERE.
Happy new year!!!! 🥳
Gonna play some Nuclear Throne, that’s bound to do something…
*plays “Yung Venus” by Jukio Kallio on hacked muzak
Happy New Year! The distinction maybe arbitrary, but the motivation to improve is (at least temporarily) real – and desperately needed if I’m going to be honest with myself.
I gotta learn better ways to self-medicate, and to actually play video games
(I haven’t played an actual game besides spelunky in MONTHS what)
Also if anyone got any viable guides on cannabis micro-dosing for anxiety that would be highly appreciated ;-;
Happy new year to you!
And happy new pre-orders to Ethan!
Priorities.
ha HAAAAAAAAAAAAA [BAM] and the comments section is OUTTA HERE
he’s still an eternal transformers nerd, hot emo nihilist or not xD
seriously I’m just seeing everyone who usually comments on this getting the anime mass knockback and it’s glorious
slowly, a crowd of commenters who were all staring up at the sky and yelling, in perfect synchronization fall over onto their backs
Umm. Yeah. OK, Ethan. That kind of “hold that thought” is a -1 on the sexy scale, OK? But I understand. A guy’s gotta have his priorities!
Asher’s like, “Wait, what? What is this?” *Grimaces*
Or +10 if you’re also neurodiverse and into the same fandom and respect the commitment to the hobby.
Well, yeah, obviously! ;-D
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of the “each time I’m still alive.”
Expressing a disattachment to life may be sexy to some. Not to me, though, these days.
Asher over here like “Am I getting pranked right now?”
Yeah, I’m sure being easily dismissed for anything at all wouldn’t have helped, but the muttering under his breath about how he doesn’t want to be alive is… mmmmm. Less seductive self-destruction.
It’s good to see that Ethan is still Ethan.
Ethan may be depressed, but his weirdness lives on. Though it takes a special kind of weird to choose transformers over sexy times.
Also,
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
*plays “Transformers Movie Theme” by Lion on hacked muzak*
Special kind of weird? Its smashing wet tissues together and maybe getting a terrible disease VS Robots that Turn into Awesome Cars and Planes (or maybe its the other way around?). I think that choice is pretty obvious.
They also turn into Dinosaurs and Cheetahs. And Wasps. There are far less cool Transformers than Waspinator.
but few less fortunate.
True, but also much cooler ones. Megatron was frozen in ice for an age.
I am kind of glad none of what I collect has preorder time issues, really. The figures I want tend to be pretty commonly available, but I know it can get real rough with exclusives.
I learned a little while ago some folks collect the little tabs from bread bags even. So I can be more surprised than I thought. 😅 Sub-cultures tend to be pretty cool and a neat place to learn stuff. So, if it’s ok to ask…
what do you collect?
Y’know, given that Asher likes butt taco shirts and presumably enjoyed listening to Jennifer talk about Star Wars and Kit Fisto (if she talked about it with Raidah, she probably talked about it with Asher at one point), he might find such nerdiness a massive plus, he seems to have a fun dorky side to him.

DAMN YOU WILLIS
throw your phone off a cliff, Ethan
He’s hot and he’s cold, yes and then TRANSFORMERS
He’s hot and he’s cold.
He’s yes and he’s no.
He’s in and he’s out.
He’s up and – OOH Transformers!
I do collect transformers… But all the ones I want tend to be from the 80s so I have to go to classic toy cons to find them. Found a cassette man last time and that was excellent
*neil cicierga’s ariel voice* “Ohhh I can’t not fuck him”
Thanks for this comment, had not seen it – have now!
Does the right side of the comment look weird to anyone else? It cuts off after what would be half of Ethan’s face, except that his face is covered by some dark blob. Is that just the way my phone loaded?
I guess the dark blob is Ethan’s hair but it’s weird we can’t see his face at all
Also, right side of the comic, not comment. It’s late.
You’re right. He’s got a hole in his face that might be a portal to another dimension. That emo look sure ain’t flattering.
That’s kind of the joke, he’s essentially wandered off the scene.
No, you’re right. That’s the wrong side of him to be looking at. It’s because he’s turned his back on Asher to geek out on his toys.
Little did he know, this tactic seems to work on Asher quite well (see Ms. Billingsworth’s behaviour). At least, it does until Asher realizes it’s bullshit/abusive.
Remember folks, if you come from abuse (like me), “it feels like home,” is a
VERY BAD THING.
Don’t settle for familiarity. You deserve to be loved, just for being you.
next panel Asher is clearly looking back at Ethan’s back again … but _down_
he’s out of the shot because he’s out of the moment.
ugh, one more heartbreaker has awaken…
It’s fascinating to see how much of Willis’ autobiography we’re getting in this comic.
And then Ethan disappeared, never to be seen in the comic again.
“Excuse me, but this slipshine is gonna have to wait til I pre-order my transformers. I hope you realize we WILL be fucking on top of my bootleg transformers plushies?”
“Dina banned me from banging dudes on top of her velociraptor bed plush, but I think if I say it’s for an emotionally positive reason she’ll let me have this one.”
Ethan 100% has a personality.
He’s just depressed and destructive
ethan’s depression has been ignore and allowed to fester.
While everybody else has at least had someone to talk to, ethan seems to have been basically left alone to rot and wither.
Amber and Booster are trying their best. Ethan doesn’t *want* to be talked to.
Ethan doesn’t WANT to get better right now. Amber and Booster HAVE tried to talk to him.
No one can save you from yourself if you want to let yourself drown. You can’t save someone who has chosen to drown.
If they don’t want to swim to shore, you can’t MAKE them. No one wants to hear it, but you CAN’T SAVE SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T WANT SAVED.

Ethan is a comic strip character, so he likely will recover, but some people will spend the rest of their lives miserable no matter how many people try to help them because they don’t really WANT to be okay ever again.
I see Ethan still has some Willisms intact. And I’m sure he’s encountered the same login problem before.
Gee, I wonder what 2024 will bring us?
A storyline that’s hornier than usual at the very least.
And hopefully more Dina, I really miss her 😭😭😭😭
A storyline that’s hornier than
usualSlag¹at the very least.
FTFY 😉
1. Triceratops Dinobot
p.s. Seems someone has griefed the Dinowiki. Renamed the Dinobots on the summary picture.
Predictions: At least two of the couples who haven’t consummated their relationship (Ethan/Asher, Joe/Joyce, Sal/Danny) will do so.
At least one couple will break up.
Walky will be prescribed Adderall.
Dorothy will drop out and join a rock band.
Dorothy and the Crushed Dreamers will go on a nation-wide road trip, playing gigs for hotel/dinner/gas money.
I hear that band name and picture Joyce playing the tambourine with a flower circlet in her hair, triangle grin in place…
Rock, it is not.
Besides, we know that if Dorothy dropped out it would be to START a rock band.
Ethan is still Ethan and Dorothy is still Dorothy.
If (Don’t Fear) The Reaper can have cowbell, their rock band can have tambourine. Besides, Elphelt just dropped and she’s a death metal vocalist. Her voice artist’s scream in Elphelt’s win screen is fantastic.
All kidding aside, I think someone will have a massive emotional breakdown. The type where you end up at a mental hospital, and I think that person will be Dorothy. All of the crew needs emotional help after what happened, but Dorothy is absolutely not doing well and might need more help than the others if it seems more subtle, since she’s alone.
I’m realized Asher has a type: hot, dark, self-destructive, and secretly a huge nerd.
In Ethan case it’s not really that much of a secret, it’s just the first time Asher seen it. Who know, maybe this will turn him off enough to reconsider banging the walking red flag (it will probably not).
It was a secret to him
> the walking red flag
Catch the hot new series this fall. Only on AMC.
Ethan might crave death from his misery but he’s still Ethan.
Priorities!
Happy new year everybody!
Honestly, I’m just relieved to know that this part of Ethan is still there. All’s not lost yet.
Happy New Year!✨😌 Don’t blow this, Asher, please!
(But -him- instead^^)
This is the new year’s yaoi I crave
Ethan is the least believable character in this comic. Who the fuck preorders a toy with this much urgency?
Definitely not me 👀💦
Well, quite.
That sort of urgency should be reserved for pre-ordering comics. And possibly fictional postage stamps.
Ever since Mass Effect 3 I think the only games I’ve preordered with urgency were Japanese. AC6 is the only one coming to mind right now, though.
Watching Willis’ Twitter, I would say: David Willis does
Additionally, my cousin Dave who is a transformers fan as well
Those toys sell out fast on preorder
Well not for a pre-order, but I did leave an ex-boyfriend hanging because in my online gaming days, I was waiting for a monster that spawned every 24 hours to pop. We got bored waiting for it. So we started fooling around, the alarm on my game went off (it spawned) so I left him hanging, killed the thing, claimed my loot, logged off to go back to him (he was not amused), and attempted to finish what I had started (it did not end well).
I completely understand Ethan here.
And for those wondering, we broke up. Unrelated to this incident though.
“Oh my god, all my crushes are nerds”
Happy new year everyone!
Have Asher and Amber ever met?
The only reason Asher hasn’t spent literally every second since meeting Sal in college pining after her is because he subconsciously recognizes she’s not a nerd at all.
And also in the time it took for me to write this comment I forgot Sal and Danny got together.
That doesn’t make Sal a nerd though. It just shows what she and Asher have in common.
Now, being into Roller Derby might make her a geek, depending on how into the meta she is. Thus far though, that seems to be a no.
While that doesn’t make Sal a nerd, it DOES raise the idea of Danny and Asher in my mind, and I love Sal and Danny, don’t get me wrong, but if maybe Asher got incorporated into things in some capacity…
Ethan decides everyone can have a little Asher, as a treat
Happy New Year!
A remibder that Ethan, no matter how depressed, is still Ethan.
Transformers may not fill the empty void in his soul, but he’s willing to let them try.
Well of course not… He needs the Matrix of Leadership for that. 😉
well some things never change i suppose.
“Is having to compete for Ethan’s attention with transformers more or less demeaning than having to compete for Jennifer’s attention with absolutely nothing?”
Since he’s not dating Ethan, there aren’t any actual expectations set
So Jennifer is still worse and is actively demeaning him
But I wonder which models Ethan is buying
Ethan is a man of contrasts.
Seems like only extreme ones indeed. White/black. Sexy times/transformers.
Hmmm… after legos (obviously), would transformers be the next worst thing to fuck atop?
If we’re talking toys, Jacks are the same shape as caltrops.
Happy New Year! 🙂
Happy New Year! Also, our weather in Seattle didn’t really cooperate and we had an inversion layer and no wind which means all the firework smoke got grouped together at the Space Needle and it totally looks like ALIENS!!1! and I love it.
Asher, you’re dating Jennifer, don’t act like this shit is new.
One website login closer to death
“Where do you wanna go?”
“Garbage roof.”
“Where’s that?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know even what it is. I just heard someone mentioning it.”
I think Ethan is too destructive to hang out on roofs right now
Might push Asher off for adrenaline
..Ethan
“…each time I’m still alive.”
…I’m not the only one seeing those words, right? Like, I get the “they’re awful for each other but I love it” impulse, I can’t say no to Disaster Lesbians, but this has to be setting off all sorts of red flags for people…
I mean, it’s not setting off any new red flags for me. It’s pointing urgently at the one that popped up on “I should try to persist long enough” though.
Yeah, I don’t like what he’s been hinting at.
Poor kid needs an effective therapist.

Webcomic character I relate to a bit.
For the love of any gods that may or may not exist, man, please do NOT get distracted by nerd shite while you’re trying to fuck. I’m gonna relate to you too much and you’re gonna be even sadder.
It could be worse. What if Ethan only started blushing after breaking his deep, soulful gaze with Asher? If the Transformers alarm was the thing which made him blush?
Maybe he started blushing because his body remembered the sale before his brain
I’m glad Ethan has a reason to live.
if you look closely at the last panel
Asher’s cheeks are _still_ blushy
–Dave, “why is this a kink I didn’t realize I had till right this moment”
Yup, he’s still Ethan.
Isn’t this a bit like what Jennifer just did? Blew off their emotional connection in a blatantly disregarding way? Seems like a “bad to worse” situation, considering he really has no connection to Ethan other than cheating.
Well, Ethan owes him nothing, they’re just fucking around and cheating
That being said, if Jennifer told him “hold on, I got an Ulta sale, be right back with you” it’d be 1000% different than “go away you’re garbage to me”
not saying horniness isn’t an emotion, but the [putative] connections between Asher and Jennifer vs Asher and Ethan are not the same kind of connection.
Asher just feeling jerked around every which way. Supervillain origin story in the works.
Cut to Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds all shaking and bellowing and cross-eyed with rage
It’s somehow relieving that he’s still like this
the little square for ‘Magical How’ on the Hiveworks comics banner under the comic is eerily similar to the top half of Ethan’s face here
–Dave, clearly Willis has infected other comic artists, half a year in advance
also – Willis doesn’t very often use a title for a strip that isn’t fully spoken in the strip, does he?
I am SO glad Ethan is still addicted
…Wow that sounds bad
unlike Blaine, he might have dodged a bullet here.
The million dollar question, is Asher put off by the geek thing, or because this makes it clear where he actually stands in Ethan’s priorities?
I mean he vibed with walky and owns a butt taco shirt, i’m sure hes got some nerd-adjacent interests of his own even if it’s not the the extent of amber/ethan’s interests in stuff (tho jen was a ‘secret’? star wars nerd too)
I’m somehow not really concerned with Asher *cheating* after Jennifer basically said he’s not her boyfriend. And also kinda said she doesn’t care if he’s making out with guys. It’s certainly not the best relationship communication, but it doesn’t sound like a committed monogamous relationship either. So…. i’m kinda rooting for Asher and Ethan now. Would i recommend this kind of behaviour to my friends? Absolutely not. But i want to see this in a comic 😀
After everything…
It’s still you.
