Something Positive

Hopefully he also learns how to not be distracted by a hot ass.

A big dick, actually.

I'm thinking he's going to end up annoying Davan by liking the second half.

Or he's going to do something inappropriate with Christian Finn Balor.

Update

...you were saying?

Really, asshole? You couldn't have walked up to your granddad and WHISPERED some of that shit?

A part of me was wondering about someone who's a grandfather to a teen. Not that there isn't many a Badass Grandpa in wrestling, from The Undertaker to Ric Flair, but wouldn't they look old?

But then I remembered the flyers and posters for a lot of indy events. If you're lucky, it's a recent photo. But, especially if it's a guest star or someone famous in another promotion, it's the old image. People want to see that strong wrestler they remember from TV, not the 60-year-old hobbling in the ring and avoiding bumps because they didn't save for retirement.

Masks, especially when paired with bodysuits, can further obscure the situation, of course.

Huh. Mask and bodysuit. Still quite built, but I see it as plausible. And Rory is getting along with Gris.

Long drive home... to Dallas?

I also now notice Grandpa Devil used "they" to refer to Gris. I don't know whether to see that as significant these days...

Maybe Gris is non-binary.

That was my assumption. Gris is a male Nordic name, but the chest looks like it's intended to be female. Although the general presentation is just "skinny teenager". *shrug* Eh, speculating on a fictional character's sexuality tends to be pretty fruitless unless outright stated, but I could see it being plot-relevant.

Gris is nonbinary.

Crotch Satan would kill for Rory

I have to think, admittedly not having seen him in the ring, Gris's grandfather doesn't seem much one for kayfabe.

Still think Rory's going to love the second half, and now I think he's going to try to get Davan to drag him down to Austin again.

Reading between the lines, he's probably had to threaten people who harassed his grandkid for being non-binary.

Bulge Demon mentioned in an earlier comic he and Gris had a long drive home; maybe they live near Rory and Davan? Be nice for Rory to have a steady girlfriend.

...boyfriend.

......Personfriend? (The one and only downside to the whole "gender is a spectrum" thing being more widespread; we as a species need new terms for things.)

Nonbinary folks (and I'd know, I am one) tend to use "partner" or "significant other". "Datemate" if you're especially corny.

Of course, just "friend" may be sufficient, too. Not every befriending leads to anything romantic, in spite of what shippers might think.

Updated, but still using the same URL as in my previous post.

You can get a permalink by clicking back and forward once, as on most comics.

I suppose the Ephesian's heel is Demetrios? Might be blasphemous to have him shout "Great is Artemis," though...

The weird sex recipe stage of puberty

My first thought was "well, that sinks that Toy Ship," but then I realized that's a form of bi-erasure.

More of an issue is that Randy sometimes backdates comics, which means a previously valid link may point to something else.

Everything's fine with Gris and Rory, and downblousing.

Now hold on there...
