Sohmer had tried to get a LICD [[AnimatedAdaptation cartoon]] [[ThePilot pilot]] off the ground. He asked $75,000 (half the projected budget, with him footing the other half) from his fans; by the projected deadline, [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/537261515/least-i-could-do-the-pilot around 1,200 backers had donated well over $100,000.]] The pilot can be found on [=YouTube=], albeit unofficially. You can also buy the video on the official iPod/Android app. No word yet on if it's been picked up, however.

One of the three webcomics from the creative team of Ryan Sohmer and Lar [=DeSouza=] (the others being ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' and ''TheGutters''). The award-winning ''[[http://www.leasticoulddo.com Least I Could Do]]'' is mainly a gag-based comic strip (although every month it features a StoryArc or two that last about a week) about the misadventures of a group of longtime 20-something geek friends living in the city. The stories mainly revolve around sex, love, modern life and all things geeky from ''StarWars'' to ''Franchise/StarTrek'' to ''LordOfTheRings'' to {{comic book}}s to video games and back again.

The main character is the incredibly promiscuous Rayne, who, if you were to judge lecherousness on a scale of one to ten with ten being the highest a human could possibly be, would probably hit somewhere [[BrokeTheRatingScale around a twenty-three]]. Throw in a lot of IdiotHero, a few dashes of ManChild (with a few hints of PsychopathicManchild), and a lot of JerkAss and you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Rayne, although there are many occasions where he shows greater depths behind the intentionally and unapologetically shallow face he presents to the world.

* AffectionateParody: StarWars, SandraBoynton, Laugh-In, superhero comics, oh, so many

--->:'''Joe Quesada''': Never heard of him.

* ImAManICantHelpIt: Subverted.
* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: [[http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20091026 Rayne at his most terrifying]].

** His skills as a business manager are this as well. Most of the time, Rayne is shown goofing off or ditchign work to go on some wacky adventure. When he is shown doing his job, we're either informed he's doing something or his 'great ideas' would only work in a fantasy world

* InTheStyleOf: [[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20101214 Sandra Boynton,]] to whom they appologized profusely.

* ForcedMeme: A meta-example. Ryan Sohmer attempted to get some attention at a panel (and exploited it during a petition) by having one of his fans go: ''"Why isn't Ryan Sohmer writing DeadPool?"'' The response from JoeQuesada is the stuff of legend if you're not fond of [[SmallNameBigEgo Ryan]], especially since this move was a rather [[ItsAllAboutMe unprofessional way to grab attention]]:

---:'''Joe Quesada''': Never heard of him.

Mostly, though, it's about the sex.

* HotMom:
** Rayne's half-sister Emily.
** In the ''Beginnings'' strips, Rayne's mother is pretty easy on the eyes too (and her present-day incarnation shows that she's aged rather gracefully).
*** His father is no slouch either.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Rayne has, on several occasions, been bribed into favors with large amounts of Cadbury Cream Eggs, Red Bull, or a combination of both. Also, on one occasion where he tried to give blood, [[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20060223 they drew Orange Julius instead]]. [[spoiler:A prank, not MagicRealism.]]

* MeLoveYouLongTime: Subverted. Rayne initially only wanted to sleep with Cyndi Wang because she was Asian, but he later developed a genuine liking for her. He didn't get to actually sleep with her till years later.

* TheFunInFuneral: Rayne at one point takes it upon himself to make a funeral entertaining with his usual antics due to a combination of boredom, awkwardness (he barely knows the coworker whose grandfather's funeral it is), and irritation that the deceased's supposed loved ones are acting even more selfish than he is.
