Like I said, I think that, having committed himself to this idea and had a drink to steady his nerves, he's going for it - trying to get it right and get it over with. Remember, his last job was in a notoriously fast-moving and quite dangerous sport.

Also, he looks to me like he's screwing his eyes up - the expression of someone plunging into a place they don't want to go.

^ This.

He does not look enthusiastic to me at all, he looks more like he has to swallow some cod liver oil.

Ruby has fallen to the Yaoi Side of the Force, and there is no way back for her...

But one is used to it by now with this one.

As for Dillon - he may be getting what he wants, but I can't see that he's getting much that'll be good for him in any longer term. He's likely to drive himself to frustration, getting passionate snogs with a guy he can never actually have - and if Ray ever finds out what's really going on here, Dillon will probably lose an old friendship. In other words, as Ruby will be able to tell him if and when she gets over her current hormonal high, he's his own worst enemy, as usual.

Talking of which, we have another addition to the gallery of Ruby facial expressions.

Oh, and panel 1 scotches any theories about Ray being actively gay. It's still just possible that he's deeply in the closet, but I'm not buying it.

Yep, Dillon is quite adept at getting frustrated and hurt, falling for hetero guys like Gary and Ray and finding ways to make out with them despite knowing that it won't go anywhere, or falling for manwhores like Matt, or screwing those relationships that do work, like that with Jerzy.

[Spidrift]

Mmm. As I said, if Ruby gets over that hormonal riptide enough to find out what's going on here, she may have to tell Dillon some more obvious home truths.

[TwoWayStar]

If he really didn't like it or thought it was icky, the artist wouldn't have drawn blush marks I believe. He's probably just embarrassed about this as Dillon is his CHILDHOOD FRIEND. THAT HE IS NOW KISSING. Most people would be nervous about that even if it was for acting!

Many of you seem to want him to think Dillon is disgusting or gross...cod liver oil, really?

Can we get a much larger version of the "flawless" panel please?
