Awesome / Sticky Dilly Buns

---

• A small Boyfriend Bluff, but an incident that establishes a crucial point about the character; Ruby, disguised as "Rudy", steps in and tells a guy to get lost when Dillon (disguised as "Dilla") needs support. It's an act of considerable courage by Ruby's standards; she's Becoming the Mask, but she does it for someone she doesn't even exactly like, because it's the right thing to do. But then again, she put herself through seven years or so of emotional stress to protect a sister she despises and parents who never listen to her, so her willingness to do what's right should never have been in doubt.
• In strip #160 when Nathan tries to come on to Dillon on his dressing room, Dillon tells him to get lost or he'll tell Nathan's wife what he's been up to. Looks like he took Ruby's advice to heart.
• Details of the relationship between Jung and Ramona only emerge in fragments, but it turns out that Jung must have anticipated where it was going well enough to read up on The Joy of Sex, and to make sure that he was carrying a condom. Their first time still looked like a moment of sudden passion, but Jung, though previously a virgin, was able to apply the condom so deftly that Ramona didn’t even notice at first, and gave her enough of a good time that she recalled the experience with considerable pleasure. Jung’s coolness, previously something of an Informed Ability, has now been completely confirmed.
