Anyway, Never Quite There.

He'll know he's an adult when Gris steals rare coins from the Salvation Army.

I'm still collecting and playing with Transformers at 48.

There is no right way to adult, anyone who says otherwise can toss my salad.

One rule of adulthood you seem to have forgotten, be careful about threats that might be someone's good time.

I don't know if they're going to follow up on it, but I feel like there is also an important thread here about parents with mental illness. The guidance sees to keep going back and forth about how much you let your kids know that you have problems. On one hand, you want your children to understand that it's OK to have problems, that there are ways to make your way through them, and that sometimes it's OK to not be OK for a while (no guilt of "Why can't I be normal? Am I not trying hard enough?"). On the other hand, your kid doesn't need to know about daddy's day drinking, or mommy's side piece. Your kid is not your therapist.

As it stands now, Rory is a teenager, and old enough to start dealing with more adult things, but he's honestly reaching out for help, and Davan's responses could be his usual dark humor, or could be a serious declaration of his current depressive state. Since this comic operates on dark humor, it can be hard to know when they're going to take something like this seriously.

Rory is a MAN. He can legally go to his father's wife's favorite joints and stuff bills down thongs, although he can only have coffee and/or cranberry juice. (I think. Not sure his birth year.)

...geez, Rory deserves a man in an actual open relationship. Like this prick's boyfriend.

Actually, it occurs to me, Gris is still wearing a mask, even though no one else is, not even apparently the other bussers. I guess because... well... there's a two-word phrase I don't want to use, but I'm not sure how else to describe it. I don't think they are, nor is anyone they live with, unusually vulnerable.

Could be that they are treating it as additional wrestling training. I'm sure wrestling with a mask on ads and additional cardiovascular load due to having to breathe through fabric, possibly wet fabric due to the perspiration, so anything you do to start training towards it probably helps.

Theoretical affection

So, is Gris just generally bad with physical contact? Something in their past? Falling into the wrestler tradition of all contact being gentle and tentative to show that you're in the biz?

Nothing like old times

So, Rory and Gris have a room together? I guess it makes sense with Gris's orientation, but it still feels weird.

How old are Rory and Gris? Are they both legal stripclub age?
