Heh heh heh, that is a very fun name for the martial art of morons. I approve. 😀
Gotora
If you guys are interested in a martial art specifically not for morons or pansies, check out Krav Maga. Just google it.

I’ll admit, finding out your ex is having a shitty life and walking away feeling like a million dollars is a good feeling.
Wow, now I feel like a douche for admitting that.
RotSman
I’m right there with you.
Dan
I’m there too.

heh heh heh. My Psycho Stalker ex tried so hard to make me jealous when I moved on she ended up rushing into a marriage, and got knocked up.
Joygasm!

I bet Nate could have pulled out a shiny quarter and distracted him that too.

LOL @ “tae kwon douche” 🙂
KayBee
Love the way Rose is playing the mustard thing as well 🙂
Lando
Misdirect? I didn’t know Nate was a hunter. (WoW joke) I still wanted ass-kickery but this works too well done sir well done. this is the kind of thing you tell people about afterward and get the PGA clap followed by comments of jolly good show, sir. in other words the gentlemanly way to throw down ^_^
The Negro Guy
In a way, he did kick his ass: with words and brains.
OutLawRed
life has that tendency to send random trucks careening your way. always when its least convenient. atta boy nate, always play it cool.

Palm: “Fantastic that you could figure that all out and lie that down on her so you could come up with a way to get your toast. Fantastic!”
Bobby: “Yeah, well, I didn’t get it, did I?”
Palm: “No, but it was very clever. I would have just punched her out.”

Am I the only one that noticed that Nate scored twice with his comments? On one hand he impressed Rose, hence her continuing his ‘mustard’ diversion. On the other hand there is no way he didn’t impress Miranda; women like it when you can fix a problem without having to resorting to violence, and avoiding jail time.
The Negro Guy
The Negro Guy sees this as truth!
Soulworker
Yeah…he did shmuck-boy in without even mussing up his hair of causing a scene…I think Rose is just gotten another reminder of how bad she screwed this up as well as your point with Miranda. The boy (Nate) has grown up since his lottery-dream days somewhat. But…I think this scene will leave Miranda curious about the situation with Rose…She was more than a friend to Nate and some people can just sense the presence of a former relationship….Nate may have some ‘splainin’ to do even though they are at the “just hangin’ out” stage…

Great, now I’m gonna have nightmares about supermustard taking over my brain. Thanks.
;P

Jeri
This has already been confirmed – He is not.
Lazy J

KIRBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KIRBY!?!?!?!?!? WHERE’S KIRBY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Pink Freud
I don’t get it
Nick Wright
You’re not alone.
Dan Genesis
I think their excitement has something to do with my avatar, Plasma Kirby (my favorite of all the Kirby forms).
Ginger
Nate unlocked the power of GRACE UNDER PRESSURE! LEV!UP!
Come on, Nate, wrangle out the door for us. 🙂
Rock
What I find interesting – and amusing, of course – is that Nate and Rose are still so well in sync, despite the breakup. Who knows what may yet happen between them in an in-comic year…
Dr. wonderful
Nate, having too much fun, time to throw the blue shell at his ass.
And when I say Blue shell: I meant tracey.
Khaos
Mustard pw3n4ge!! Is that how you do that?

Don’t worry Trevor, you’ll be able to prove your manhood next time.
…Once you figure out the whole “thinking” and “using your brain” things. Dick.
swordshrine
Yeah… Usually when something unexpected ends up turning out to be not so bad life has a habit of throwing a truck at you. Now either a truck is going to be thrown at Nate or Tracy is gonna show up to ruin his night… Or I’m wrong, who knows.
Soulworker
Not necessarily…While Tracy is bitchy in her own way…she and Rose have some similar personality traits (motivated, goal oriented, and sexually available)…I am seeing the possibility of a 3-way here…Don’t know enough about Miranda…yet,,, Now wouldn’t that be a mind blower for poor Nate…the combination possibilities here are so…interesting… =D
Onikage
Y’know, I used to know a QA (quality assurance) person in my old job who was a real stuck up bitch. I mean REALLY stuck up. Wouldn’t say shit if you said hi, just give you a look like you were something found on the bottom of her shoe.
However, it turns out she was… servicing… the PM shift plant Superintendant, and everybody pretty much knew about it. So every time she was around you’d start hearing comments like” Hey, John. You need to wash your face. Your lunch missed a spot. Right here.” And then person speaking would point to the corner of their mouth.

Awwz. The zipper only went to 10. Good enough though. 😛

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!
