SO predictable!

Also, "lips from the gods"??? Methinks Dillon needs to get laid more often. I guess Dillon thinks so as well.

Darn, Ruby beat me to the punch. She really needs an outlet for her interests, and possibly a nice set of bedroom toys.
Is it bad that I want to be a super-villain?
Anyone available to hench?

OMG, Dillon's face in the 2nd panel! =))
Whoever called for the "Kiss him already" line gets a cookie!

It does seem that Dillon really, really likes just kissing. (Heck, I can relate to that.) After all, he's the one who was easily convinced that his own kiss alone could turn straight guys.

She's acquiring the outlets, starting with the stack of freshly-purchased yaoi.

Does "twinges of conscience over acting like a total creep" count as significant depth?

Anyway, I would be a bit more ready to believe that Ray is gay and in deep denial after this strip - but then I remember Andy's reactions to Dillon. The fact is, while Dillon isn't the worst creator's pet known to fiction, he is granted this weird ability to attract inexplicable hero-worship.

Also, I think it's now a fair bet that Ruby will be set up to be Ray's training partner by the end of the next strip.

Yay, a hint of character development.

Ruby is getting more and more hilarious it seems.

Not surprised by this outburst. As embarrassing as it is Ruby has some wiggle room if she tells them she was captivated by their performance. Dillon and Ray might be so impressed that they would forget her voyeurism and not suspect that she has a penchant for yaoi. Of course that could then put her in the uncomfortable position of being an audience member for more of the same without displaying any sign of being turned on by it. Another example of being careful for what you wish for.

Oh, I think that Ruby's embarrassment will be transient this time. Someone who doesn't know her might even assume that she's being sarcastic, and there'll be enough confusion that her actual outburst will quickly be forgotten. And remember, Ray seems moderately impressed that Dillon knows "Amber-Amber", and quite likely to assume that Amber's sister (which he knows Ruby is) will be similarly sexy.

Yeah, odds of Ruby getting roped into kissing practice - by conscience-stricken Dillon or nervously heterosexual Ray, or both - 75% and rising.

It means he keeps pace with Belkar Bitterleaf, a character whose evil is literally measured in kilonazis.

...but who has remarkable character depth for a tightly optimised psychopathic shoeless killing machine.

...he isn't optimised. That's half the joke. He's a Ranger who has ranks in Profession (Gourmet Chef) and none in Survival, fercryingoutloud!

(He does have more self-awareness than Dillion, though)
