Bam! Called it. And why is he upset, he just nailed a hot chick. One who is at least twenty years older than him, sure, but hey, take what you can get.
Age ain’t a big deal, she’s still hot, and she knows what she wants and isn’t gonna waste time playing all the stupid games of younger women because she’s learned how pointless that is.
Actually, what strikes me most is how in the third panel i thought he was wearing the blender on his head. I was wondering if it was being used like a lightbulb, except instead of having an idea, he was upset. Then I realised i was over thinking things 🙂
Nooooo. Think of it like a Where’s Wally book (well, he’s called Wally in Australia. Where’s Waldo for the americans…), or like an easter egg on a dvd. Find the extra background detail. Turn each strip into its own seek-n-find game.
Man, my imaginings just ran away with me just then (in a good way)…i need to think about this some more 🙂
Justme
I found Waldo. But it was too late. He was already one of THEM.
Kansai-kun
In Germany we call him Walter.
Neil
He’s Wally in England. In France, I believe he’s Charlie for some strange reason.
I found Steve’s face rather disturbing, I hope it’s one of those smiles to mask pain because I thought he cared about Rose Crowley more than to be able to smirk so quickly afterward.
Yeah, I thought she looked remarkably good for first thing in the morning after a party. Although she didn’t seem that drunk when she decided to ‘party’ with Steve, so that may have helped.
Nah they probably just couldn’t afford the massive amount of alcohol it would take to actually effect her, most hardcore drinkers I know can pound away for a while (or a couple hundred dollars) before actually getting drunk. That is one reason I quit drinking at that point, it got too expensive.
Also Nick, love the comic, and the fact that there is not a single good character in it. Every character is human and flawed, and not kinda flawed, but normal human neurotic behavior that no one actually admits to in their daily life, flawed.
Justme
Yeah, I’m one of those that can belt the stuff down too. It affects me differently depending on the liquor, but even in my early drinking days, I rarely suffered ill effects afters.
The original Treading Ground comics were created between 2003 and 2011. As such, you'll find some unfortunate hallmarks of raunchy comedies of the time. These include casual misogyny, dubious sexual situations, insensitive edgelord humor and a character using the r-slur.
While these are not typically portrayed as positive, it's definitely not how I would write the comic today, and you should know that going in. That said, there's still a lot of good stuff here.
There's also some nudity. Consider the whole comic NSFW!

Been down that road and can tell you just because a woman’s older doesn’t make her any more decisive or concise.

I don’t see why you make this point MA, it’s not as if her daughter has been playing games.

Hahah! Love it! He’s been a bad dog 🙂

hahaha I thought that, too 😉 But I just put it down to not having had my morning coffee yet.
Nick
You guys make me want to draw less detailed backgrounds. 🙂

SOMEbody found themselves an MILF!!!
{Dirty boy! – DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY!}
No matter HOW ya ‘cut it’ – THESE guys AIN’T got rid of Rose YET! – For some reason, I see her back there in a VERY “disturbed mood”, and SOON.
Val Kilmer Batman
I love Nate’s face in the last panel. Awesome.
Steve’s face is just priceless.
Tyciol
I found Steve’s face rather disturbing, I hope it’s one of those smiles to mask pain because I thought he cared about Rose Crowley more than to be able to smirk so quickly afterward.
qrsouther
I knew someday you would bust out a new expression for Nate. Nice job on this one Nick.
Nick
Ha! Annoyed is pretty much his default state, isn’t it? Getting an opportunity to laugh at Steve like this is a rare and precious gift.
Taiming
Someone was thinking with the right Head lol. By head i me penis lol Nat is a Nad.
James
Nate’s face in the last panel just sums it all up
OverlordLaharl79
Jaaaackpot!
Ray
FINALLY somebody got laid! and Steve looks disturbed by Rose’s mom, he should be happy, he just scored a MILF!!! thats 100 points in the perv club!
Eric
HA! Great stuff! And Nate actually got a smile out… surprised it didn’t cause him to suffer a mischief!
DadaHyena
Yikes! Watch those bananas, ladies!
I love panel three; his rigid pose, plus the placement of the blender, makes it look like he’s balancing it on his head.
Last Hussar
When I met my wife she was definately in MILF territory for my age. You kids don’t know what you are missing.
Justme
Hellz yeah… MILF’s are FANTASTIC fun. Especially the ones you can actually carry during… umm, gonna be quiet >.>
Rent-A-Geek
Oh I know….believe me…I know
Tyciol
Unfortunately, a past pregnancy and being carriable tend to be contraindicated.
Rock
Hmmm. For all that the *cough* lady is a hard drinker, she doesn’t seem to suffer from hangovers much. Or, y’know, liver failure.
Eric
Yeah, I thought she looked remarkably good for first thing in the morning after a party. Although she didn’t seem that drunk when she decided to ‘party’ with Steve, so that may have helped.

Stormhawk
In the third panel, she just pinched his tush, didn’t she? And say what you will about him, he’s still getting more action than Nate.
JB
Man, the expressions on the last panel are -PRICELESS-!
JC
Hah, I just realized that Steve is pulling the shocker on the site’s banner (yeah, I’m slow :P)
He should definitely look happier, you don’t score with an ultra-hot MILF like that every day.
Tyciol
I’m slow too, didn’t notice until I read this.

thats what SHE said…

She must have pretty good eyesight.

That last panel really is the greatest thing ever. That facial expression is perfect.
Crestlinger
The shirt in the last panel says Steve’s face in the third
Stephen
-cue honk noise-

The look on Nate’s face in panel 3 is priceless.
Oxford
Err, 4.
Codejunkie
Is that dean and Jerry off of codemonkeys on nates shirt???
Nick Wright
Not quite, but I’m pretty sure they were inspired by those characters.

Does anyone find it a bit funny that she is grabbing a banana after she most likely gave Steve head? ‘Cause I do.

I love Nate’s expression in panel 4.
