im oh so glad my comment spawned a pornfecta. i was just messin around by the way, i love your comic and i check here at least once a day just to re-read.
Alright here might be another analogy that can be somewhat related but in a more dumbed down sense. “Keep your personal life seperated from your work life.”
A better version:
“Don’t increase the stress of work by adding relationship drama.” (Hello, Nate? Arne’s gay teen-aged son is more emotionally healthy than you!)
Not at all. I think any guy who has been through the cluster-fuck that is work related relationships know to advise against them. It just isn’t worth it.
Perhaps some context is needed: She was talking to her boyfriend about Dungeons and Dragons, and was going on about her Cleric character fighting zombies. Although maybe the whole “Jesus rising from the grave” thing was the point. Some could argue he was bad for every religion – including Christianity, if you consider that they are constantly arguing over miniscule details).
Alex: What about the redhead and the one with the star on her tit?
Arne: Star girl doesn’t do white guys and redhead might not be legal-
Alex: -Like that would stop you!-
Arne: -and ‘sides, even I have places I ain’t going. Some locales are too much trouble to want to eat or shit in, son, and that’s whichever way you swing.
Alex: (stunned) …Thanks, dad.
Arne: Pleasure to help, son. (waves and calls to Nina) Hey there, Madam, wanna see how that red star looks up against this green jello? Just pile your clothes up here and I’ll fetch you another beer.
Nina: Sure! Don’t mind if I do! (walks over, commences disrobing)
So…which one’s shitting, and which one’s eating? This is especially confusing because he -does- work at Food Baron, an eatery that – thus far – has seemed like kind of a shitty place to work.
Just finished running the Treading Ground gamut. I gotta say, I really like this comic. It’s got a somewhat realistic spin on the clichรจ romance manga style, and hilarious moments. And the “NSFW” bits at least pertain to the story, and isn’t just “OMG T&A!!1”.
Part of me wants to see Rose and Tracy get in a fight and end up in the jello. But another part thinks it might be funnier if nothing actually happens involving the jello.
I did listen to that advice (no Trash where you make Cash) and I probably wouldn’t be married to my awesome she-geek. Really worth it to let someone else screw up and fantasize vicariously.
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!

Sound advice, if you take out the misogyny.
Quicksilver_502
That doesn’t leave much advice.
Minty
Sage advice from a noble master.

Sound advice if you leave in the misogyny aswell ๐

Dude makes a ton of sense. More people should remember this.

If you really want to see some tits go to a different website. For now just sit back and enjoy the story. It can’t all be climatic suspense scenses.
greenboy2004
Arne may be the smartest man in the world cause I have no idea what that means. I’m not an imbecile but I can’t find the logic anywhere.
Oshi
Really, the logic seems pretty obvious to me…

Looks like he’s a bit of a charlie sheen….
Without the dugs, of course.
Minty
Yeah, but i get the feeling Arne’s more than just BI-winning
Dr. wonderful
Dr. Wonderful approves (20+)
Oxford
Hey! Arne IS a good parent!
RotSman
Yeah, I’m kind of interested to see more of these two interacting!
ghostking333
I’ve got to say I really think Arne is a genius…
better name than yours
NOT FIRST! :O ha no one ever calls that! Arne is pro, this update just proves what has already been established!
Bubbaclaw
Truer words have never been spoken.
Lazruth
Flawless logic from a man that is above most others. I salute you Arne.
Eric
Ok, is it sad that my dad gave me advice that was pretty much verbatim when I was growing up?
Khyran Storm
Not at all. I think any guy who has been through the cluster-fuck that is work related relationships know to advise against them. It just isn’t worth it.
Also, Nick;
Lovin’ the comic, man. ๐
MJSox
hell i tell the kids i work with this, that and always, ALWAYS use a condom. They don’t listen…sigh.
Noxx
One of the all time greats on the list of dadvice. That’s right up there with “well turn it off you idiot” and “son, shampoo is not a lubricant”.
Ghost
Very well said, and I have to add in one I overheard my sister say: “Zombies aren’t good for religion.”
\Echo
Jesus begs to differ. <:D

Good advice, if only I had knew that 4 months ago before my office christmas party!
Plasmo
Sometimes this lesson is learned the hard way unfortunately.

“the hard way” – I see what you did there.
…and I LIKE IT!

Awesome.
Cut, print.
Nick, I think this script needs to happen.
Who’s with me?

You’ve got my vote! ๐
Crazy White Man Boy
my vote is added that the red star titted chick needs to get naked with other women in the lime Jello.

truer words have never been spoken.

Awww….this is like an after-school special.

All we need is a star trailing a rainbow.

Great comic i’m enjoying it

So…which one’s shitting, and which one’s eating? This is especially confusing because he -does- work at Food Baron, an eatery that – thus far – has seemed like kind of a shitty place to work.
Nick Wright
Maybe so, but it’s a paycheck. Gotta put food on the table.
Asher
eat= work shit= things that could cause negative shit at work, like fucking a coworker

So yeah. Cool comic, hope to see more of it

Part of me wants to see Rose and Tracy get in a fight and end up in the jello. But another part thinks it might be funnier if nothing actually happens involving the jello.
Opinions?
Kessog
Or go for the ironic and have couple of the guys fall in and the girls start cheering and whistling.
noname
Nice advice from Arne, but still waiting to see Rose in a bathing suit
chumash99
I’m righ there with ya, buddy. ๐

I did listen to that advice (no Trash where you make Cash) and I probably wouldn’t be married to my awesome she-geek. Really worth it to let someone else screw up and fantasize vicariously.

The best advice a father can give to his son.
MJSox
Nope. That’d be use a rubber, or maybe don’t climb into bed with someone crazier than you. I’m sure there are other contenders as well.

Where’s TNG? Getting it on? The comments section suffers without him.

Arne has a son?!!
