Dillon's old friend/first crush re-appears.
I wonder if Dillon ever told him that he's gay?
This is bound to be interesting.

Is it really so hard to tell Clara you're gay, Dillon?

Re: 14-10-14 I am envious
Oh poo. A cut away from Ruby. When we only get two strips a week, and she's got an interesting scene coming up, I can't help but be irritated by this.
(Though it's a fair sign of how irrationally uninterested I am in Dillon that my main response to this strip is to feel sorry for Clara.)
I was going to say two new characters - but oh, right, we've seen Ray before. Which presumably means that he may actually be significant to the plot. It looks like he may have been on a similar journey to Dillon since those school days. I'm guessing that Clara is probably just a one-time plot device, but who knows?Azrael wrote:Hey new character to stir the mix with, Yay!

Re: 14-10-14 I am envious
since Jung will be part of Dillon(almost guaranteed that Ruby will go to comic shop managed by him), maybe Clara/jung?

Re: 14-10-14 I am envious
hmm, as dillon's movie career picks up, he may increasingly attract unwanted female attention.
that could be interesting.

Re: 14-10-14 I am envious
Dillon if a nice girl is hitting on you like that just remember it is OK to let them know you are gay... or have an old crush do it for you. This is an interesting development. I wonder how long it has been since Dillon last saw Ray.
Meanwhile poor Clara here is barking up the wrong tree.

In that flashback Dillon wasn't out, but with Ray it's ambiguous. He knows Dillon is interested in someone, but assumes a girl. Either he was lacking gaydar or didn't realize his sexuality until a few years later or all of what he's doing right now is just to ward off an admirer.
Hopefully, not too much. Clara seems nice so I hope to see her around again.

Re: 14-10-14 I am envious
Dillon is a good-looking guy with nice manners. Not surprisingly, to judge by that dream sequence, he's been attracting female glances more or less since puberty; by the end of high school, he'd ended up in an experimental threesome with two girls. I really can't believe that he hasn't had some practice politely fending off female attention. He may still feel a bit awkward about it, and Ray may just have saved him a few seconds of embarrassment, but that must surely be all.'J' wrote:hmm, as dillon's movie career picks up, he may increasingly attract unwanted female attention.

If he achieves some level of stardom, he may have to deal with a bit more sub-groupie interest - but you can bet that any interviews or entertainment news pieces that boost his fame will also mention that he's gay. He doesn't exactly hide it very well.
I'm assuming that Ray is gay; he's presumably going to be around the comic for at least a few more strips, and straight men are generally careful about acting gay in circumstances that could lead to extended misunderstandings. I'd guess that he hadn't recognised his own sexuality in that flashback, or he was in denial; his style then was just a bit too bro-ish. But he and Dillon were young-ish teens there; a degree of confusion about everything would have been pretty much inevitable.brasca wrote:In that flashback Dillon wasn't out, but with Ray it's ambiguous.

But honestly, this is building assumptions on sand; we haven't really seen enough of Ray yet to say anything for certain.
