Much more importantly, there's plenty of evidence that a lot of people love them their ass comedy. I mean, it's not particularly my thing, but I'm pretty sure it's a guaranteed laugh from a large enough audience. Not much point whining about what the market rewards.
A more legitimate point, and one I don't have a direct answer to. However, we just saw him getting a blowjob in the shower as the punchline of a jump cut joke; I'd kind of hoped this strip would have a more mature brand of humour for a moment before these two got into bed. Whatever, nothing I can do about it now.
In this comic Pierre and Domenico seem straight... for now...
I would put Alex as confused, what we know is that he definitely likes women and he probably likes men but we're not sure...
In the entire Ma3-verse Gary is still straight, and the guy that is dating Ruby, and the guy that is dating Angie (it's been so long with SDB that i don't remember their names)...
In Erik's case it's true that he had a "devil's threesome" with Zii, but i think that he was entirely focused on her, so i would put him as straight... for now...
Yes, Alex is confused. My guess is that when he eventually discovers the truth about “Jean”, he’ll decide that this proves that he’s straight after all, albeit with no objection to a little pegging (i.e. just like Gary), which indeed doesn’t stop him being straight, and roll with that for the rest of his life. But that’s just a guess. And we know that Marie is entirely straight. We’ve had no evidence that Domenico or Zoé swing more than one way, Tatiana seems to be straightly kinky, and so on.
Now, you can say that almost everyone, even the straight characters, seems to be a bit more kinky than is probably the statistical norm in real life, and I won’t argue. I’ll just put it down to sex comedy and not worry about it.

Ruby is clearly at least mostly straight, and even if she is capable of any sort of experimental twinges, she’s still coming out of her painfully conventional, repressed shell, so there’s zero chance of her exploring any such side of herself at this point in time. If we ever saw a ten-years-on epilogue story, and it turned out that Ruby had eventually had a one-night-fling with a woman, I wouldn’t be shocked — this is the Ma3 universe, after all, and Ruby clearly has a very curious side. But equally, if that never happened, I’d not be at all surprised.

We haven’t seen Alex speak to Nadine, but they’re at the same school, she was introduced to everyone by the head as Jean’s sister, and it’s the school’s uniform she’s wearing. Also, she may have a reputation (in a fine old-fashioned use of the word) among the other pupils, if not so much in Alex’s circles. So I think she’ll stick to the existing story.

The astronomer in me is annoyed at the Moon illumintion.
Also, I'm wondering if the skyline is correct and that view could feature that Moon. Must be rather east of the Eiffel tower since I strongly assume it's evening still and not some hours before sunrise.
