I just like how you skipped
right over the fact that Gabe and Tycho are not real, and even their real-life counterparts are either married or otherwise attached, and just went right for bemoaning that, in the little trois-a-trois going on in your head, the artist of this comic was about as unforthcoming with the age you should proscribe to your partners as he could be. And you know what? You're right. I think it very artistically irresponsible to not take into account that, somewhere, in some cellar or action-figure coated filthy room that hasn't seen sunlight in about 3 years, or in a treehouse in some godforsaken state like New Mexico, or even in normal yet boring places like western NY, someone is going to use their conception to jack off to, or as stroke material to other genders, and to clarify their characterization better. This kind of thing
should not be allowed to (black leather) happen, and one can only hope (dreadlocks) that authors of other (goths with red lipstick) works of imagery will (angels with bloody wings) take their own audience's fetishes (hentai rape chicks) into account when putting the finishing (computer geeks) touches on their own tale.
