I don’t know…these last few strips Tracy has been slowly morphing into Gargamel. I used to be a big Tracy fan, but she’s going from “mischievous miscreant” to full-blown Episode III here, big time!
ha you can cut the sexual tension with a knife its so thick seems to me tracy my have and alterior motive for randomly switching his schedule like that tracy seems tohave the same personality as my sister does not bode well for our hero nate or tracy ,nate man watch out buddy shes a man eater
Oh Nate, that was a good one! But, I wonder if the readers are right… that she does like you, but may not have the cajones to ask you out(since technically, she’s your superior and everything).
Urgent News Bulletin:
Food Baron CSM Tracy Winters on a rampage, holds as yet unnamed coworker hostage.
Demands “a bucket of KY jelly”.
Further updates pending.
Meanwhile, inside the now locked storage areas…
..Nate gets ganked by The Mistress!
I hope ou don’t mind but as it’s my b-day I am counting this as my official birthday thing XD I hope everyone has had a nice day here in britain it is now 11:20 so time for beddy-byeZz peace out!
this comic feel like my world all over again
may boss did some thing like this to me
she did make a move on me alot when it is just us two at work
i cant wait to see the next comic i hope he isnt going to do the same thing i did
i walk off the job, it was alot for me to take on with a under age girl coming by work looking for me. ( life is so hard )
I like that you’re finally giving Tracy more characterization, before now she’s been known as a bitch, but now we’re finally seeing it! Great comic in general in fact.
I’m in agreement, here. We are told that Tracy is a bitch, but I didn’t see enough to convince me until the last few strips. That being said, I can’t help but like Tracy.
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!

Why do I get the eerie feeling that Nate will have Tracy as his rebound girl?
Puck
Or that she’s sabotaging his date as a means to keep him available for herself.
ray
That’s what I am thinking. She wants to ride him. I just know it. lol
Taiming
I think she wants to ride him right now by the look shes giving in the last panel.
Steve
That would be wholly appropriate, and wonderful because he already hates her. 😀
Kann
I thought the same thing. Eerie is right :s
solEDGE
KAAAAAHHNNNN!!!!!!

Wait thats a boat…nvm fail

Don’t sweat it. I was with you all the way on that one.
David Herbert
She knows sex because of all the porn she does.
Fede
she should show nate how wrong he is about that last statement

Also, I’d just like to note that if they _do_ hook up, I saw it coming months ago. The banner ads with her naked were a dead giveaway.

If I could have my way they’ll be bumping uglies real soon. But what banner? I missed that one.
Mike Crichton
I can’t seem to find it, but I know I’ve seen it on ads on other web comics for this one.
Nick Wright
It’s currently running over at Bloomin’ Faeries.

Checked the banner. Tempted to draw a fan art on the theme now. I’m a sucker for bad boy/girl characters. ^^
Nick Wright
It would be most welcome. I haven’t received fanart in years!
Last Hussar
Nice arse, nice tits.
Yeah, I’d do NSA
chris

I’d like to take this moment and put this MV right here, expressing the recent events of the comic perfectly.

Midnightwolf
All I have to say is this…
Why is she smiling in the final panel?
Something to think about…
metalangel
Admiring her handiwork. She just pushes the right button and off he goes.
Derrath
I felt sexual tension between them when Tracy was first mentioned….
And if things do go down, I see a possible Triangle with Rose,Nate and Tracy
Jyrki
Oh, sh**! Tracy *is* gonna make a move now.
Mr.Sin
I don’t know why but Tracy looks really good in this comic
MrTT
next comes the hatesex
nobody
You forgot the spanking!
Jerichow
It’s in the foreplay.
Dr. wonderfuk
Sorry, Dr. wonderful couldn’t post.
Anyway….
You guys are both right, it dosen’t matter WHEN you do the spanking, as long as it done during HATESEX, that’s all it matter.
Also, insults and choking, plus backing someone agaisnt the wall helps alot too.
dan
she has that look, like she plans on suprising him with something in the next comic. i bet she will either pounce him or threaten his job for sex.

She is obviously challenging his sexual prowess to get him to “prove” it to her…

ROFL. Nice 1, Nick.

Thanks sooooo much I think I found a new screensaver. *eyes start tearing up* :’)
Matthew Joseph Harrington
If Tracy is not heavily into getting spanked, she needs a different come-on.
Babywarlord

No fan art in years?! What is this nonsense. I will attempt to fix this as soon as I have time 😀
dominic

Silver
I forsee angry kissing coming up.
Jakers
Sounds like a DARE if I’ve ever heard one…Nate, she has directly challenged your manhood. You know what must be done.

I love Tracy’s Bossy attitude so much, it just makes the workplace scenario that little bit more entertaining to me.
WTF!!!
…OMG she wants his babies…
