Association

I think they're both overlooking a rather simple postural solution.

  1. The Negro Guy

    The Negro Guy says leave it to Rose to want Aya between her legs.

    1. Minty-Phresh

      With a body like that, is The Negro Guy surprised?

      1. The Negro Guy

        The Negro Guy is not!!! The Negro Guy still says it would have made things awkward between them though.

        1. Comichero

          Well if you have a frim graps of the human conditon i can see the merits of a Aya / Rose realstionship while intinaly akward the pair would eventualy grow to really care for each other more then they already do and quite honestly since Aya is obviously the rational one here she would also be the pants of the relationship as it were and thwo girls would complement each other quite well in fact wheeather it would turn int o love or be a bond of sisterhood that would link the two forever has yet to be seen but they would make a excellant couple. Thats my assesment of the situation an the vibes i get from the two

        2. The Negro Guy

          The Negro Guy likes that.

        3. Taiming

          that’s a long winded way of saying you want to see them bone or pelvis or what ever 2 chicks do to get off.

        4. arjay2813

          tribadism, aka scissoring (damn southpark), or they could 69

          on a side note, i can’t wait to see Aya’s face in the next panel, or if Rose actually suggests trying it out

        5. Gurw

          Oh! I get it now. Your thing is run-on sentences.

        6. Oberon

          Nazis hate run-on sentences, so you must be a Nazi!

      I’m not sure when you changed your avatar but I just spit out some orange fanta… hilarious

      1. The Negro Guy

        The Negro Guy says thank Sir Bounce Alot!

        1. SirBounceAlot

          And as I said before on the previous comic, although mainly to The Negro Guy at that time, but now to all who enjoy his avatar, you are ever so welcome.

        2. Jeri

          I find it rather ironic an hilarious that you say Sir Bounce Alot when one of my online names is Sir Bunks Alot :]

          Well done NTG, well done.

        3. SirBounceAlot

          Upon reading this statement, I have found myself in a somewhat confused state.

  2. Minty-Phresh

    It’s not too late Rose, you can still do it! Believe in yourself!

    1. The Negro Guy

      Actually, when she brought it up, it became to late, says The Negro Guy. The Negro Guy says she should have tried before banging her brother. But even then she still would have said no, says The Negro Guy.

      1. David Herbert

        Well, Aya hasn’t entirely said no yet…

        1. The Negro Guy

          The Negro Guy says yes she has. And just because 50 no’s and a yes means yes, doesn’t mean she meant yes…

        2. Lokitsu

          I agree (all previous Buffy jokes aside). Also, I suspect Rose’s conversation is less about propositioning Aya and more about making sure that somebody still cares for her.

        3. The Negro Guy

          And now we’re learning! Says The Negro Guy.

  3. RotSman

    Totally figures that she’d think it’s better to receive than give. I’d rather see Aya hook up with Tracy anyway.

    1. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy is sorry, but that just wouldn’t work well. The Negro Guy says she would do the same thing she did to Nate.

      1. Passerby

        Fuck ’em, chuck ’em, then at the earliest convenience tempt her back with kinky, spite-enhanced sex? Somehow I don’t think Rose would be too adverse to that kind of a dynamic in their relationship.

        1. The Negro Guy

          Exactly!!! Says The Negro Guy.

  4. Frank

    There’s always a “69”. Mutual respect, mutual pleasure.

    Young people can be so clueless sometimes… 🙂

    1. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy says 95% of young people are so misguided by the things they see, which leads them to cluelessness.

    2. Muddy

      But neither one wants to bury their face in the other girl

      1. The Negro Guy

        The Negro Guy says that’s one way to put it.

      2. Hector

        There’s always fingering.

      3. FWATANG

        rose never said she didnt want to bury her face between aya’s legs. she just insinuated wanting to see aya buried between hers.

  5. Tia

    Ok, I never really thought about going down on anybody or vice versa when I was that age, I just wanted cock all the fucking time. Boobs were nice though.

    And while, yes, that would be hot, and yes, 69 would solve their particular dilemma, messing around with your friends is how they get to not be your friends anymore.

    1. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy says FINALLY!!!! Someone with some sense. Although I don’t see how wanting cock all the time is a good thing…

      1. Kim

        Kim is thinking that The Negro Guy is missing the fact that Tia is a girl. And it’s quite normal for a girl to want cock.
        Well that’s what they tell me, at that age I’d sleep with anything that looked attractive. Yeah, I was shallow.

        1. German dude

          While I’d appreciate having a girl that wanted my cock all the time, I’d like to point out that IMO it’s also quite normal for a dude to want cock all the time if that’s their thing (or for a girl to want pussy all the time, for that matter), Kim.

          Then again, sex ain’t everything, so I think I may agree TNG.

        2. The Negro Guy

          Then let’s agree that everyone has different sides to the story, says The Negro Guy.

        3. MJSox

          one hell of a story!

        4. khavren

          The greatest story ever told!

        5. AflacMan13

          Also the only problem with this argument is this… are we absolutely certain that Tia is in fact… Female?

          No offence or harm meant Tia but for all John Q. Public knows you could be a dude.

          I play EVE – Online and I actually have several online players in my group (or corporation for those of you who know what I am talking about) that are male and play female characters and female that play male characters.

          Just saying…

        6. Geoff Appleby

          I have to believe that Tia is female. I do. I must believe this. I’m not opposed to same sex relations, oh my word no, all for it.
          But, speaking as a guy, talking to the other guys out there, consider this:
          SHE said “never really thought about going down on anybody or vice versa”, while at the same wanted cock. Are there any guys out there who would ever – EVER — EVAHHHH — say something like that? I simply can’t comprehend any guy, regardless of orientation, preference, or other politically correct words of that nature, NOT wanting oral.

          I’m happy to be wrong, I’m all for being enlightened. But this breaks my imagination, my whole viewpoint of the world.

          🙂

        7. Tia

          I’m a female. And not “a woman trapped in a man’s body” or “a girl on the inside” or any of the other lake shite dudes have come up with to make girls think they are sensitive. I have breasts and a vagina, and a healthy sexual appetite. I have, in the past 12 years, matured to the point that I do occasionally enjoy the oral sex, both giving and recieving.

          I realize now that I should have said that before, especially if I was mentioning my absolute obsession with the male anatomy, which my husband is extremely amused by.

          And I love star wars, dr who, Stargate, star trek, warehouse 13, and a whole lot of other geeky stuff too. Picard is my captain, Han Solo is the best pilot in the universe, insert something else geeky here.

          I hope this answer any questions you may have. If not, please feel free to email, or I have a twitter thing somewhere, and a blog somewhere too….

        8. Jerichow

          Good to see some other capsuleers out there!

          And I have to attest to this, I fly along side one said individual and his response to why he plays as women has made perfect sense to me.

          “If I have to stare at an ass all day long, it might as well be a woman’s ass.”

        9. The Aussie Bloke

          Amen to that!

        10. AflacMan13

          I second the amens.

    2. Ginger

      I have to agree on that last part.

    3. G@tor

      I appreciate how the readership here at TG isn’t so judgemental. If someone says this on txtsfromlastnight then you get fifty people crying “whore.” Take a lesson from the Greeks, a healthy sexual appetite is nothing to be ashamed of.

      1. Kramegame

        Amen!

  6. Flammable Hippie

    I look forward to the porn to come from this.

    1. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy says The Flammable Hippie just got FLAMED!!!!!

      1. MJSox

        If it exists, there is porn of it…..

        1. Jeri

          Let us not forget Rule 35…. just in case…

  7. MinaRaven

    you guys really need an RSS feed! It would be awesome!

    1. Rob

      Good news! There already is one!

      https://og.treadingground.com/?feed=rss2

      1. The Negro Guy

        The Negro Guy kinda wants to call her fail for not looking…

  8. Devin

    You have GOT to run with this!!! If you put in some dyke action, readership will SOAR.

    1. The Negro Guy

      But what about the whole “Staying true to your story” thing, asks The Negro Guy?

    2. brother V

      Fan service like that would only cheepen the story. Leave it for the fanfics to draw.

      1. AflacMan13

        I agree. A story like this is not one that is conducive to pornographic or even soft core materiel. Now on that note though…

        I think a kiss between the two would NOT be completely out of the question here… in fact it might serve to make the story more interesting in that the two would then confirm to one another that they in fact are not lesbians. And it would serve up just enough fan service to make it that much more enjoyable to read.

        Such situations are quite common between young females of their particualr age group. Exploration is a fact of life and sometimes you just have to do something before you can completely decide one way or the other… seems like Red head there might still be peering over the fence a little now and again. This could solidify her resolve.

        1. SnideWizard

          The whole two girls kissing thing is way overdone. This isn’t a beer commercial.

          Besides, I don’t think either of them are unclear about their sexuality, so there’s no need to confirm anything.

  9. Edd

    “I think they’re both overlooking a rather simple postural solution.”

    Get Nate in for a threesome?

    1. german dude

      I think (and hope) our estimeed author was simply refering to “ye old scissors”…

      1. Edd

        Hey if he’s gonna go the distance, he may as while try for the hat trick. xD

        1. The Negro Guy

          German Dude: esteemed, not estimeed.
          Edd: “He may as well,” not “He may as while.”

        2. G@tor

          multitalented. You’re not only the negro guy but also the grammar guy.

        3. bookninja

          the bookninja thanks the Negro guy for not being the only one to correct atrocious spelling and grammar

        4. Muddy

          The Grammar Negro will correct your shit.

        5. Jeri

          Oh man… someone has GOT to make a meme or demotivational out of that comment, the world wouldn’t be right without it.

        6. Oberon

        CLAM TO CLAM

  10. The Token Gay

    *Sigh* Why are my male-hetero counterparts so damn predictable? : /

    (Referring to some of the comments above me. Oy…)

    1. The Negro Guy

      Because hetero males usually think with their cocks more than with their brains. That’s why we used to fight wars over women.

      1. FWATANG

        it makes SENSE now. its the WOMEN’S fault our lives are so war ridden these days. lol jk

        1. The Negro Guy

          The Negro Guy says that isn’t always true. Men just don’t think straight when horny.

        2. Alchemist's Apprentice

          And when are men not horny?

        3. MJSox

          Still go to high school don’t ya?

  11. Jim

    In ANY event, girls – it’s SECONDS or I squeal like the stuck chauvanist pig that I am!

    Seriously, you can TELL Rose is “young” in that she’s not “mastered” the Karma Satura! (sp) … Rose I direct your attention to position numbers 3, 6, 7, 12 thru 17 (with several REPEATS on 14 and 15), and 21 thru 26.
    (The rest of the book makes for ‘a nice read’ but is nothing more than “variations on a theme”!)

    The phrase “more ways to skin a cat” cums to my mind!

    1. Isis

      I doubt the Kama Sutra comes to mind in the chat these girls are having, but teenaged girls do have these talks. It’s true.

  12. Jim

    Nick, it MIGHT BE a “good thing” to have Rose ‘toy’ with the girl-girl issues for a bit! (Seeing as her ‘luck’ with the guys got her the ‘boot’ from Nate and she winds up with Trev, the “Carnie-freak”as a consolation/boobie-prize!)

    It COULD make for some great “fodder”, some “interesting” situations and jokes!

    1. The Negro Guy

      …..The Negro Guy will do it for the jokes…The Negro Guy wont enjoy it though.

    2. Neil

      “Enough” of the “quotes” already!

  13. OverlordLaharl79

    I got 5 words for ya: “I’ll be in my bunk”

    1. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy says don’t forget to lube up your ass before taking it.

    2. Darrell

      Firefly quotes makes everything more awesome.

      1. Emmezali

        Second that!

  14. The Negro Guy

    The Negro Guy says if she had gotten with Aya, she would have used her like a backup girl. Come on people, think…WITH YOUR BRAINS!!!!

    1. Isis

      Isis totally agrees with The Negro Guy and wishes that more men would indeed think with their brains!!!

      1. The Negro Guy

        There are more!!! The Negro Guy is happy. MUNCH!!!!

        1. The King

          The King thinks with his brains, and occasionally with his junk like any male, however The King does not allow it to rule him, unlike others.

        2. BriGuy

          I think you’re expecting a bit too much from the human species. Yes, we’re somewhat more intelligent than the other life forms on this planet, but we’re built to be replicators. That’s bred into our instincts, male and female alike. So when terms like “thinking with their cocks” or “thinking with their clits” are used, all you’re really saying is that they’re thinking with the part of the brain that has sustained us as a species for thousands of years. Of course, socially it’s not acceptable to think only with one’s base instincts, but you can’t deny it from your thought process either. Either extreme is harmful. I prefer to balance. If that is what you meant, then I apologize for the presumption.

        3. The Negro Guy

          The Negro Guy says it’s alright. That and The Negro Guy probably needs to apologize to.

        4. Emmezali

          To whom?
          Or did you meen “apologize too”?

          C’mon Negro Guy, don’t fail us in spelling now !

          j/k I had to say it. Sorry 😛

        5. MJSox

          I got this. It’s mean, not meen.

      2. AflacMan13

        Thank you Isis. I am a guy myself, quite a pigish male if gauged by the standards of the women’s lib movement of the 60’s… and even I am ashamed of some of the men’s comments here. Children never do seem to grow up.

        1. Edd

          In my defense when I made my comment I was joking and didn’t really mean it.

  15. tbm3572

    I wish I could be the 69th comment.

    1. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy says don’t we all?

      1. Lokitsu

        I’m stunned that noone has linked this yet.

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxVKtNkQAtw&feature=related

  16. Lando

    The Lando guy is forming a mob to find the author and force him to give us hot lesbian action. Teasing is mean we all learned that in grade school. We demand the next logical step that our perverted minds have already taken!

    1. Nick Wright

      The author reminds the Lando guy that he is perfectly capable of illustrating his own sexual escapades.

      1. Kevink

        I do believe that is check and mate ._o *rubs monocle*

        1. Lando

          Curses! I’ll get you next time Gadet! Next Tiiiiime! (I can totally do the Dr. Claw voice)

  17. CK

    At this point, it would be appropriate for Aya to point out that Rose is still thinking with her clit. She’s just thinking that sex with someone without a cock will make it suddenly okay, when it’s all the same thinking. Rose really did go from “astute high school girl” to “idiot teenager” over the course of the strip.

    1. SnideWizard

      Keep in mind that Rose prefaced all this with “if It hadn’t been Trevor, it might have been YOU”. This isn’t something she’s currently considering.

      1. The Negro Guy

        The Negro Guy says somewhat true. The fact that she brought it up in the first place means she was thinking about it for awhile though.

    2. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy always thought you were supposed to go the other way. But, as always, Rose proves us wrong!

  18. The King

    The King thinks if Rose wants to experiment let her, but let it be with a stranger, to avoid any losing friends, is what the king thinks.

    1. Cokehead

      You’re not as funny as The Negro Guy, sorry. Plus, he has impeccable grammar – you, however, do not.

      *sad trombone*

      1. FWATANG

        everyone after the negro guy is just copying the third person speech pattern and its not as cool.

  19. Ginger

    This is why you shouldn’t experiment with your friends. Sure it’s convenient, but then you can’t just pull the emotional ripcord and pretend the whole thing never happened.

    1. Minty-Phresh

      Yeah, friend sex seems tricky in general. My female friends are usually seeing someone, but if I ever really did it, while I doubt I would catch feelings, I know my ego would make me get mad if they don’t.

      1. Ginger

        I’ve been on both sides of that particular battle (getting too attached to the guy vs. not giving a damn) and I can say with total confidence that I didn’t think much of either, and things invariably ended badly–either I got hurt or I ended up hurting the guy. Either way, it made me feel pretty awful and cost me a couple of friends. Trust me, it isn’t worth it.

        1. The Negro Guy

          The Negro Guy agrees.

      2. AflacMan13

        This is why I never allow my “friends with benefits” ever become my real friends or vice versa. Too much agony, heartbreak, and misery… just like Fort Knox.

        (If you happen to get that reference please feel free to drop me a Hooah!)

      3. Alchemist's Apprentice

        I don’t know about that. Most of my boyfriends were good friends before we started dating. Heck, I considered my husband my best friend before we hooked up, and I still do!

  20. Jaded Cynic

    I¹ am just gonna mention that despite Aya’s reluctance to think about that image, *she*just*has* so she might as well engage in the experimentation everyone tries ‘at that age’.

    One reason to do so with a friend would be the trust they already share – having a fling with a total stranger is downright DANGEROUS these days; forget disease, who knows when the next person might turn out to be another Alex Forrest?

    And now I’m gonna leave this refuge full of Bob Dole and Leon Spinks clones…

    {footnote: 1 – Imagine that; the first-person(!)}

    1. Lord Omikron

      Lord Omikron points out that not everyone is using 3rd-person

  21. Rock

    o_o … Not too long ago, Rose mentioned she had become stupidly impulsive. I am going to just assume that saying these things to the only loyal friend she has (afaik) is a result of that. Especially the last comment, which is just greedy. If you expect oral of only one party in a couple, you’re not being fair, are you?

    Dammit, Rose! Take a cold shower already!

    1. Kobra

      There isn’t enough cold water in the world for that to work.

      1. The Negro Guy

        The Negro Guy laughed hard!

        1. Rock

          It all depends on how COLD you make the water, really… =_=

        2. Jeri

          Idk… It would still probably need to be cold enough to freeze a fire…

        3. MJSox

          ya mean ice? cruel, but possibly effective. ‘Course, never stopped the Russians.

        4. Rock

          The Russians, who drink vodka like it’s water and probably have great outdoor clothing, you mean?

  22. Eric

    Normally lesbians don’t appeal to me that much, but this idea works for me…

    I’m a dirty old man, just go with it.

  23. Tom NC

    TNG has his own N avatar now?

    Tom NC thinks that is pretty sweet.

    1. The Negro Guy

      The Negro Guy says it’s a mini Black Guy!!!!!

  24. Harrowed

    Oh Rose, that’s a really fun way to lose a friend for good. Not worth it.

  25. Oxford

    Heh heh. Figures that would be Rose’s logic.

  26. Chris

    This Rose is a wild Rose!

  27. Kobra

    As hot as bouth of thouse situations are, I’d rather have Aya between my legs! 😉

  28. Seawee

    This is the 69th comment and there is nothing special about it.

  29. Unknown PGA guy

    In the words of Joe Carter

    “I say if ur gonna jump, then go head and do it most expeditiously…dont fuck around. “

  30. DarkOne

    Is it really better to give rather than receive?

    1. BriGiuy

      I have a hard time choosing between the two. But in most cases it’s a moot point, since I end up with both anyway.

    2. Isis

      It is best to give while receiving, so says Isis.

  31. ray

    I know I sometimes feel like having sex with my female friends. lol Though some of them actually roll that way and so do I. lol

  32. Bubbaclaw

    I find it rather interesting that Nick has said very little about all this aside of making a vague inference to the fact that he liked the guest strip that showed Nate and Tracy in the freezer.
    Nick it’s your strip here. Don’t just sit on the fence, and please state something ‘yea’ or ‘nay’ about the discussion going on here.

    1. Jeri

      I think Nick is pulling a perfectly acceptable Cliffhanger here as he makes us wait 48 hours between strips without any additional information.

    2. Nick Wright

      It’s not a good idea for me to get too involved in these discussions. Spoilers aside, if I’m going to communicate with the readers about plot elements, it’s my job to do that in the comic, not in commentary. Why should I rob people of the opportunity to speculate about things left unsaid?
