i don’t think i would count it as either it’s not a call back because the phrase (or something similar) “remember that time when” was never implied and it’s not really a brick joke because the older comic wasn’t a setup for this comic as a punchline. this is just an added bonus for the longtime readers (yay fanservice) i hope that all made sense
I brush my teeth at work. Anyway, that aside, your comic has just found a new fan all the way in the Caribbean. I saw your ad, read one, got hooked and read the archives, all the way through. Your comic is kick-ass! Keep on doing a great job.
Ha love if. is it a Pube-brush? (brush that has pubes on it?) oh and love the title I’ve read all of the comics titles and descriptions and they’re amazing! Hope you keep it up your an inspiration!
Several people brush their teeth while at my workplace. However…
I walked into the men’s restroom the other day at work (proper sized one, with a shower stall in a separate cubicle, two urinals, three toilet stalls, sinks, etc) and was confronted by a big fat dude, shirt off, SHAVING, with foam and everything, in one of the sinks.
I was so shocked I actually stopped with a jolt. He cheerfully greeted me, and I asked why the hell he had his shirt off, was he about to shave his chest too?
I have shaved ‘with foam’ with my shirt on, being careful. If I wanted to do it without a shirt, fine, but I sure as heck wouldn’t do it at work. Work bathoom is slightly different from health club locker room, IMHO.
I remember that pube gag. Truth be told, I was hoping it’d come back the minute we all forgot about it. Jokes like taht are the best, and thsi certainly delivered. LOL
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!

Holy shit, I cannot believe I actually got the reference without clicking the link.
David Herbert
Me too. Is that good or bad?
Cris
Well………..it is good for your memory, at least
Sean
Damn you Arne! Every time I see a comb lying around, I’m going to immediately assume it contains pubes!
Adam
I just think her face looks epic there. Like she has no clue what it is… but has a sneaking suspicion that she might know..
One Manic Ninja
Mmmmmm Pubes! (umm… couldn’t he trade a shift with someone?)
Nick
Stay tuned, my friends, and all your tedious scheduling-related questions shall be answered!
Geoff Appleby
Pure. Fucking. Awesome.
I’d love to see it taken to the next level – get some pubes on her toothbrush.
MrGBH
Ewwwwwwww. That’s just plain gross.
Now if they were Tracy’s pubes on the other hand.
Dr. wonderful
…In Tv trope terms, I believe that Counts as a Brick Joke.
Maybe even a Callback.

I think Tracy may have reasons for scheduling him and her on Friday… maybe i’m just being hopeful for an odd story arc. We’ll see wont we.
Sean
Same here. It’d be hilarious to see that cold woman try to flirt with a man that despises her.
headscratcher
Don’t those two have some sort of history? Dunno if it was said outright, but I always got the impression Tracy was his ex.
Nick
…I thought he’d ripped most of the teeth out of her brush. But I see from the above comments that it is something far more…devious…than that.
Chris K
If I were him, I’d trade shifts with Purvous!
Jack
Is that my old hairbrush?
Nick
Heh, I did kind of base it on the one you and Jen both had.
Weimann
Wait, how did Tracy know he had stuff to do Friday? Didn’t they just plan the date like half an hour ago?
Nick
This is more of a baseless accusation on Nate’s part. “Must have known” would have been a clearer way to phrase it.
Tom NC
Funny that I was just thinking that it had been a long time since we’d seen Tracy after reading Wednesday’s comic. Good to see her again.
Keith Bradley
Hairbrush is funny ….. but if it was her tooth brush …. that would be hilairious 🙂
Nick
It would be, but how many people really brush their teeth at work?

Tssha
…he took his shirt off because he doesn’t want to get hair on it?
Seriously, a guy only has to shave once with his shirt on to realize it’s a bad idea. Especially if it’s a white shirt.
…unless you’re blonde, in which case you could legitimately miss seeing it for awhile.

at least she saw it before Using it XD
EvilEarl
or did she . . .?

Revenge of the pubes!

Karma’s a bitch, and so is Tracy.
