woot! been hoping to be first for awhile now! ^.^ also, now its getting interesting =P i bet he still turns her down and everyone will find out, and hilarity shall ensue.
First does NOT mean best. So . . . what’s the big deal?
Frrabian
I see the ‘First’ game as just that…a friendly little game. If you don’t like it don’t play when you get first. Or is this just First envy?
Ginger
No, it’s just annoying to have to scroll past a metric ton of comments about who was the “first” to comment in order to read anything actually relevant to the comic and its storyline and art. Since the comic is great and worth discussing, it’s sort of a shame that any relevant discussion is submarined by three pages of “first” comments.
Frrabian
Really, this is the longest talk about ‘First’ I have seen to date. And most of it is whining about people posting first. So good on all of you making this a much bigger deal then it really is.
Too bad I can’t expect everyone to be such stalwart readers of the comments section. 🙂
FA4ED
You can atleast expect me to be 🙂 I somehow remebered them all. Anyway, back to the praising.
You’re comic is awesome, you draw the human body as if you were god himself, and you story arcs are pure brilliant, and sometimes kinda… vulgar I guess is the word. But in a good way, mind.
PS. Have you seen TNG around somewere? I swear, if he doesn’t show up by next week, I might start to think he got a life or something.

I figured there was some Hispanic in there. Her pedigree sounds like mine, except replace Dominican with Cuban.
I could tell. I am of a similar mix: Cherokee, Irish, Chickasaw, English, Dutch, and maybe even some Russian, and possibly Armenian. A lot of my ancestry was lost. She is likely in the same boat as I am. In fact, so are most Americans from all ethnic groups. More Southern whites have black ancestry than Northern whites. And, by the same token, a large number of people in the Southwest have lost Hispanic ancestry. In almost all of the U.S., there are a large number of people of some sort of Native American ancestry. However, there are very few who have the 1/16 minimum to be considered Native American as a minority, and even fewer who, like myself, are at least 1/8. Those of at least 1/4 ancestry are even rarer, 1/2 even more so, and those of full ancestry are even more so than that. And most of those people are descended from multiple tribes.
Given that, I would say that Aya has some smidgen of Italian, is at least 1/8 Native American, at least 1/16 Dominican(who are of a good portion African descent), the Irish is also at least 1/8, and she seems to have a bit Dutch and Russian in there as well, and likely some Polish. How accurate was I?
I’m not going to commit to anything at this point. The only reason I even bother mentioning some of her makeup in the comments here is because I’m pretty sure it won’t come up in-comic before TG is over.
But Aya is likely to show up in some non-TG projects in the future, so keep an eye out for more detail then!
Well, that is good. Believe me, I learned that lesson the hard way. Let’s just say that I spent a lot of time rewriting my characters’ ancestries.
Also, believe it or not, my little brother looks stark white. I am the darker skinned of the two of us. And also the only one in the family who considers himself a minority.
“Sex on the Beach” only works after a long romantic walk during sunset to a blanket that you set up 3 hours before, otherwise you run the risk of getting serious fire crotch, between the sand and the possibility of sand mites. As for the secret, she clearly doesn’t know who she is talking to…
ha strangely i had thought of that, but i couldn’t think of any other way of describing the immense pain. Urban dictionary defines the situation as the “Screaming Seagull”
Though I think Tracy forgets that she’s dealing with the girl who came into Food Baron wearing a bikini top and shorts before flashing her naughty bits in the express lane, accident or no.
Odds are, Nate reveals what he discussed with the Manager and then tells Rose exactly what he did. Since she was doing things she regretted with Trevor, here’s hoping she understands. And then Steve spontaneously asks Beth to marry him and they all lived dysfunctionally ever after!
Ok, the last one is unlikely (for awhile at least) but so far so good man! Loving this story!
But if that works then there’s always the risk of Tracy taking it beyond that. Though she DID freak out when Arne showed up last time and she can’t shut other people up like she did Arne…
Why do I have a feeling what Nate was talking about before was that they were sleeping together (and possibly him quitting). I see her exposing them but everyone already knowing and her looking like a total wh*re.
The following is a message from That Jewish Dude to Our Unfriendly Resident Succubus:
*Ahem* GET THE F*** OUT OF NATE’S F***ING LIFE!!!! DO YOU F***ING HEAR ME!?!?!? IF YOU DON’T GO AND DIE IN A HOLE SOMEWHERE BY THE NEXT F***ING STRIP, I WILL F***ING FIND YOU, AND MAKE YOU AND PERSONALLY MAKE YOU REGRET THE DAY YOU EVER F***ING CRAWLED OUT OF YOUR WH*** OF A MOTHER’S F***ING T***!!!!!!
Sack up, Nate! It’s not like he an Rose were a couple. He can just tell Rose he was sport f*cking the bitch, and make it a non-issue…because we all know how reasonable chicks are about such things. ;-D
I take it you’ve been around some really easy-going territory…I tell a chick I was muff-spearing for sport, I would have to run. They always want to lock me down right after that stuff starts…

I remember the the good ol’ days before the “First” virus hit these comments.
I’m just waiting for Nick to start Firsting his own posts. O_o
Anyways, love the comics Nick. 🙂
(Did TNG die or something? -_-)

A lot of people will delete posts from Firsters. I’ve opted to keep the speech around here as free as possible, even if it may sometimes be silly.

First! Huzzah!
And so she arrives finally!
Burin
Okay, not first, darn, I was hoping, ahh well.

sorry to steal it from ya, maybe friday shall be your day =P

Eh, if I’m awake for it, I usually check the site the following day, or when I come home. Don’t normally stay up this late.
Enjoy your victory, sir!

…and I had a BAD feeling Tracy was gonna use that as a bit of blackmail, just so she can use Nate as her toy as it were.
Here’s to hoping Tracy gets served for all her dirty ways!

Tracy does remember how she got her current job right? I know Nate does. Oh Nate, drop that bomb at the picnic. PLEASE!!!
David Herbert
Be strong Nate! Resist!
Or punch her in the boob, that could work.
Vanity
BOOB PUNCH!

I was hoping for a sexy cat fight between rose and tracy.
David Herbert
That would also be entertaining.
Bert
:O In the jello! 😀
Sara E.
What is Aya’s ethnicity then? I’m thinking either Hispanic or Native American.
Minty
She’s one of those hot mixes of a bunch of stuff.
Nick Wright
Minty’s correct. There is some Native American blood in there, along with Dominican, Irish, and some others.
Taurin
…AND wears a navy blue one-piece! NERDGASM!!
Andrew
I was thinking filipino.
NoNameInParticular
I was thinking “spectacular!”
Jim
And I’m thinking; “leave the wife and girlfriend for summa that”!

Yeah, I remember you mentioned that earlier.

Damn Tracy acts just like my ex thats freaking scary!

“Sex on the Beach” only works after a long romantic walk during sunset to a blanket that you set up 3 hours before, otherwise you run the risk of getting serious fire crotch, between the sand and the possibility of sand mites. As for the secret, she clearly doesn’t know who she is talking to…
Sigh
I thought “fire crotch” was rose’s territory?
(Sorry, couldn’t resist)
Kramegame
ha strangely i had thought of that, but i couldn’t think of any other way of describing the immense pain. Urban dictionary defines the situation as the “Screaming Seagull”
Tez
Pretty sure if left a blanket on the beach for 3 hours you might as well be just doing on the sand itself
Kramegame
meh, depends on the weather, and placement.
Chaos
Aaaaaand its the moment I’ve been dreading.
Though I think Tracy forgets that she’s dealing with the girl who came into Food Baron wearing a bikini top and shorts before flashing her naughty bits in the express lane, accident or no.
I got money on Rose dealing with her.
Ackipp
Odds are, Nate reveals what he discussed with the Manager and then tells Rose exactly what he did. Since she was doing things she regretted with Trevor, here’s hoping she understands. And then Steve spontaneously asks Beth to marry him and they all lived dysfunctionally ever after!
Ok, the last one is unlikely (for awhile at least) but so far so good man! Loving this story!
Verse 86
You just picked my brain man! lol
Chaos
That is my second guess on how things play out.
But if that works then there’s always the risk of Tracy taking it beyond that. Though she DID freak out when Arne showed up last time and she can’t shut other people up like she did Arne…
Sigh
Yeah… the whole “You cheated on me, I cheated on you so it cancels out” thing ALWAYS works out.
Typically thats only in sitcoms. In real life, both parties usually aren’t so logical nor forgiving.
But then again, Nick’s ability to keep that 4th wall in place has us forgetting this isn’t real life.
G
Rose and Nate weren’t together at the time so that wouldn’t count as cheating.
Verse 86
Why do I have a feeling what Nate was talking about before was that they were sleeping together (and possibly him quitting). I see her exposing them but everyone already knowing and her looking like a total wh*re.
Frrabian
If I remember right Bill didn’t want him to reveal it at the company picnic. Sexual harassment suit anyone?

Yet another case of totally-hot wrapped around totally-not. At least on her web site she has a Mute button.

She’s starting to remind me of members of the Tea Party… And not the kind of tea party with cakes and bicuits…

Bitch, racist, fool and manupulative, Yeah that sounds like the Tea Party to me.

Sounds like you’re making as many false assumptions as she is.
