Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
Ethan, by the time I knew what “hot-and-heavy” meant, holding hands would not meet that criteria. Even the 4th grader in me is laughing at you, Ethan. You know what the 4th grader in me does? He picks on the 2nd grader in me for thinking holding hands is an impressive thing to do with a girl!
Reminds me of when I was in Germany on an exchange trip. We gave presentations to various English classes at the school. When presenting to a 2nd grade class, we were asked what the weather was like where we were from. The person who answered meant to say “Heiss und schwül” but instead said “Heiss und schwul”. The first means “Hot and muggy” the second means “Hot and gay”
They are a series of videoes aimed at LGBT teens, the premise is to try and make the transition of coming out and being picked on easier for LGBT teens.
This was happy-sad, and then immediately disappointed-in-Ethan-sad, followed by disappointed-in-Ethan-hilarious when I got to the title of today’s Shortpacked!.
Loading ...
Oh boy.
Oh boys.
Oh boy and a girl
Sign me up.
I laughed way too hard at this.
Oh your mom.
For a nickel.
Hmm, she’s taking that pretty well. Probably because she’d got her Danny Boy. But I don’t think he realises her pipes are calling.
Don’t you mean his pipes?
“Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, from glen to glen, and down the mountainside.”
Wow, I’ve been a fan of that song since the age of Spin City and I only now realized it’s stacked with sexual innuendo. This comic is so educational.
Pretty sure the pipes euphemism applies to women primarily.
I thought pipes are for guys and the u-bend is for ladies, apparently I was misinformed.
It all depends on what kind of hentai you’re into.
What is it when there are eels?
A hovercraft.
I see what you did there.
What else?
wait, I thought that eels was Cthulu hentai? where does the hovercraft come in?
The hovercraft comes in from Monty Python: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6D1YI-41ao
Ethan, by the time I knew what “hot-and-heavy” meant, holding hands would not meet that criteria. Even the 4th grader in me is laughing at you, Ethan. You know what the 4th grader in me does? He picks on the 2nd grader in me for thinking holding hands is an impressive thing to do with a girl!
Unless… that wasn’t a dream Joyce had.
O.O
Unless what he is holding is some quality sweater-puppies, it doesn’t count.
Sweater puppies will grow into full Coat Hounds.
But only if you have the right evolution stone
I don’t think Ethan believes holding hands is hot-and-heavy. I think he’s lying.
The 4th grader in you is a jerk.
Well, things are looking up for both of them.
Count down to hilarious misunderstanding followed by wacky high jinks.
I prefer Low Jinks.
I like jinkies best.
Jinkies…Jinkies…is that a breakfast cereal or something?
It’s what thingy used to say on Scooby Doo.
“Jinkies?” Raises eyebrow. “Jinkies?”
It must be a clue.
Quick, go tie up the first person you met.
That’s a sentence I never thought I’d read. Or hear.
Oho! No Bravo reference goes unnoticed!
Hot and heavy and Joyce in the same sentence??
I’m going to run this joke right to the ground but here goes: TIER 15!
I’m going to make it even worse for you as I have NO IDEA what this TIER 15 is.
Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XMSkwZYnfM
I at least know where it comes from but the joke still eludes me.
Yeah, like that sentence you just did!
Interesting
Hmm. Ethan pretending to be straight in two separate universes on the same day… Coincidence? Probably
Yeah. Didn’t even notice until makin’ my update sweeps tonight. Aheh.
I guess that josses my theory that the Ethan in today’s SP! is straight, and it’s that universe’s Amber who’s gay…
That and the title of the SP!
Heh. I don’t pay attention to the titles.
I’m pretty sure Ethan’s gay in any universe you go to
So the weather at IU is hot and humid… Good to know
Reminds me of when I was in Germany on an exchange trip. We gave presentations to various English classes at the school. When presenting to a 2nd grade class, we were asked what the weather was like where we were from. The person who answered meant to say “Heiss und schwül” but instead said “Heiss und schwul”. The first means “Hot and muggy” the second means “Hot and gay”
BTW,what are the “It gets better” video?
Just Google’ it gets better lgbt’
They are a series of videoes aimed at LGBT teens, the premise is to try and make the transition of coming out and being picked on easier for LGBT teens.

I hope the cafeteria serves Dalad Jelly.
For what it’s worth, at first I read that as “Dalek Jelly.”
…Aaaaaaaand I just had to add “Dalek” to Firefox’s spellcheck dictionary. I’m surprised to find I’ve apparently never typed it anywhere before… O_o
oh this wont end well, or by Friday, will it
Maybe by next Monday
Poor misguided Amber. If she only knew…
She’s just being a friend whose looking out for him.
Something tells me she’s not gonna be happy with Ethan when she finds out. We saw how Sarah reacted to Joyce and Ethan, and Sarah don’t even care.
Oh god, it wasn’t just a dream, was it?
So, Ethan is really Ryan in disguise? Or worse, Ethan was killed and now Ryan is assuming his identity?
If Ethan has this sudden urge to consume lots of sugar, pray that the MiB will take him out soon.
Ethan was never a person, he was a Ditto.
So, Ethan can play both sides now?
Yes but he can only seem to be getting along with someone at best.
This was happy-sad, and then immediately disappointed-in-Ethan-sad, followed by disappointed-in-Ethan-hilarious when I got to the title of today’s Shortpacked!.
some of the best laughs I get from the comics as well as the comments.
At first, I thought this was alternate universe Shortpacked! Doh!
(Oh, wait, it is! Or is it?)
The reference to the It Gets Better project totally made my day!
So, this is for after you get turned into a newt?
(lifts visor)
A newt?
What if he has a wart?
Aw, I thought the phrase was “it gets butter”.
Gained forty pounds for that misunderstanding.
This is going to blow up in Ethan’s face as badly as holding a stick of ACME dynamite….
and sweet zombie jeebus maybe its by twisted brain but the AV shown for my last post seems to be indicating they want to give someone a handjob ><
Hey, wait. Who runs out of BREAKFAST to meet someone for LUNCH?
You know its funny, there both in relationships that are based on lies, its just the irony
