Vegans
By JOEL. This post occurs after comic #210.
This was normally the only day of the week that I did not eat with Roland, so I was inwardly thankful that I had Samantha to join me. She sat across from me, and between us sat this vile opponent, a vegan burger, with some sort of soy-based cheese and… well the lettuce was regular lettuce.
I think it goes without saying that Samantha’s cardinal feature was her vocal environmentalism and other hippy stuff, but I was downright thrilled to find that she had more pedestrian interests, mainly console gaming. The argument soon elevated into a debate about how good or bad Sonic Unleashed is. It’s terrible, by the way, although certain hippies seem to disagree.
The burger actually was not bad at all, though to be honest, the idea that the meal had never suffered a day in its non-life gave it a rather mundane aftertaste. Still, not an awful meal. We stood, and she invited me to her apartment just off-campus.
Now, you humans don’t quite have the sense of smell that some of us furbags have, so let me tell you that it really makes the flirting game a lot easier. This not to say that Samantha was fragrant, but the faint smell in the air, plus the look in her eyes, gave me a clue as to the breadth of her invitation.
Damn. A few months prior and I could have been within the sanctuary of a clean, healthy, and (surely) secretly voracious rabbit. I’ve always had a thing for rabbits. Such energetic partners, they made, and there’s something about that useless poof of a tail that just seems inviting.
But. I had to decline. I had a feline waiting for me in my own room. Samantha did give me her screen name, though. I figured it’d be good to have a hippy to call on. Know thy enemies, etc.
And waiting, he was. I found Matt on my bed when I entered my dorm room, and beside him was Roland, who was trying helplessly to teach Matt the intricacies of Gears of War. The poor idiot. He was more-than-eager to latch himself onto my arm and relinquish the controller, allowing me to put Roland in his place.
Awww, that was cute. I liked that story.
Do you regret being tied down like that, Joel? Being all monogamous and what-not.
Kinda. Yeah. But one must make sacrifices, I suppose. Or something. Whatever.
Yeah, I guess you had to’ve understood the consequences if you were going after Matt that entire time.
I acctully think im a furry right now. I feel like a wolf and i even thought of some characters for my self
Always had a thing for rabbits, eh? >;3
It’s the ears, man. Fun to hold on to.
Well, I got plenty of ear to hold onto, baby.
Shit, son, you’re in the wrong webcomic. Yours takes place in the future, don’t you have some sort of trans-dimensional device?
I dunno, never heard of one. But who knows, man, it’s the future, I bet some crazy scientist has one built somewhere.
The Internet does not deteriorate with time.
So how *is* Roland holding up these days, anyhow?
Well, he seems better now that he’s bangin the skunkslut. Things were awkward for a while but he got over it.
Mmmm…skunkslut…
Hey, I think Skunkslut opened up for my band once…
Anyway, what the hell’s going on with Roll and Nicci, anyway? How did that happen?
Maybe I’ll make them blog about it. Lazy bastards.
I’ve never actually played Gears Of War. Is it as testosterone-laden as I’ve heard it to be?
It’s four MASSIVE muscular war-hardened men lurching about at top speed with big guns that have chainsaws on the end of them, and you spend the whole game shooting and chopping up equally-or-even-BIGGER humongous and muscular aliens.
So yes. It’s awesome.
The dragonman fails to mention the fact that you chainsaw people’s god damn faces off. That’s an important feature.
It’s implied that you chop people in half in various directions when I mentioned the chainsaws.
Chainsaw Guns. Are. Awesome.
Not to mention a bow that shoots exploding arrows. Explode their face. Or their crotch. Although I’m not sure if they have genitalia.
That game is fun… Better than Halo 3 (runs from angry fanbois/gurls)
i never minded halo 3… my game now is Call Of Duty 5.
sick game right there. i got xbox 360
On that same note, I have to wonder what the top speed of a lurch is…
1) If you were blindfolded (or just had your eyes closed), could a fur such as yourself differentiate between your various friends by scent alone?
Does everyone you know give off a “fragrance”, as it were?
2) If need be, would you be able to find your way around using your nose alone?
1) I could, if it’s a friend I’ve known for a while. I’d certainly recognize everyone I work with.
2) It’s not a radar, it’s a nose. It’s not like it has depth perception.
Joel’s right about the nose thing, and by the way im a furry (DONT RPE ME JOEL PLZ!)
im a rlly big fan of the comic if were to work with immy would i myself become a character in one of his comics?
Omg and can we make Dave have a lazer penis and secret ghost powers too?
lol jk Your comments were just so over fanpersoned (bad habbit of making up words sorry) that I had to say somethin xD
Awesome stuff
shall be interesting to see more!
Holy crap, Joel turned down sex?
I’d be shocked, but I can’t blame you. Matt’s too awesome to cheat on. :3
Doesn’t it feel good to have such a wonderful person by your side that you can come home to every day?
Never thought I would see you eating a veggie-burger. Or being monogamous.
So…
This whole “peace and love” thing…
Is it a crock or what?
Any thoughts?
“Vile Opponent”, lollers. Friggin’ lollers, man.
Anyway, a fun story to read. Quite a sense of humor on you, y’know that?
On another note: GEARS OF WAR, HELL YEAH!
“WHERE’S MAI WAIF?!?!!”
It’s nice seeing you being loyal with Matt.
I have to agree with who said it before; he’s just too awesome to cheat on.
aww is sounds like you love Matt vary much don’t you Joel =^_^=
Joel’s getting soft
He should have brought Sam home anyway, I thought he was into that orgy stuff 
See, I don’t believe he’s getting soft.
Dunno why. I just don’t think it’s quite that way.
Back me up here. You’re not getting soft, are you, Mr. Calley?
Not that there’s anything *wrong* with that…
Softer, no. I’m getting harder, even.
Every night, it seems.
Dontcha hate it when that happens?
God… too much for my poorly excesive imagination…
(Ja, I liked the fact I just mentioned God. Looks like I’m the only one laughing)
Hmmm, just be glad you managed to keep on her good side. That looked like quite a backswing she had with that vegan display.
Incidentally, I’ve always thought that veggie burgers TASTED fine, its the juiciness that they lack that always gets me. Every time I’ve had one it’s been drier then Nevada.
Very good story, surprised you stayed true to Matt however, Not saying you seem like a cheater but you didn’t seem the monogamous type, Mr. Joel. I wasn’t a fan of Sonic also, same goes for Gears of War, turn Roland onto Left4Dead and I’ll respect him more for it. Anyway hopefully you get a chance to read this, even if you can’t comment on the account of the Matt holding ^^
You could always put bunny ears on Matt.
Stop giving him ideas D:
GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN, WOMAN!
Speaking of Kitchen…
I can imagine Matt cooking dinner only wearing an apron, bunny ears and with a bunny tail fluff tied on his tail…
Next thing that comes into my mind is Joel getting close to Matt as he cooks… then yeah what happens goes and happens… and the dinner gets burnt.
hay quit looking in me and my mates window we did that alerady ><
Matt, you lazy bastard, you have yet to blog about anything XD
Matt this is Frank Bailey your fan sorta i want is working at concession stand with Joel stressful? i also think you look good wearing your work clothes.
Heh, that’s it, good dog, don’t make the kitty cry!
and I liked Sonic Unleashed, maybe you should try the Xbox or at least Wii version. The PS2 one is a crappy downgrade made just for those who refuse to get a new system…
Oh, and what’s going on with Roland and Nicole at the end? could you tell us more?
They end up spending a lot of their time together at Nicole’s house, so I’m not really sure what’s up. But they seem happy.
I think they’re doing this just to make me jealous.
Joel this is Frank Bailey have you ever heard of play station 3 game called Grand Theft Auto 4. in the game you get to KILL a lot people with a lot of weapons and cars. trust me Joel there will be a lot BLOOD shed in the game and it’s totally wicked awesome.
awww, Matt’s cute.
Are you thankful you have him, Joel? Do you tell him you lvoe him? :3
>.> Pardon my lack of spelling this morning… it’s quite early…
I second the bunny ears idea.
hehe, bunny ears wouldn’t make Matt much cuter. can’t really imagine anything that could possibly make him cuter, really ^^ meow!
To be honest Ive never liked rabbits much, but then again ive never had one in bed either… im pretty sure my opinion might change if I had first hand experience.
Good to see ya keepin’ Matt. Are you going mono with him because it’s -possible- he’ll leave ya if you don’t?
Bunny ears/tail? No, that wouldn’t go well on Matt… I, frankly, can’t imagine a bunny who’s orange with black stripes…
How could you eat something that was not at one point alive. It sickens me.
It WAS alive. Just not animal-type alive. Plants are alive, man, plants are alive… They just don’t suffer. Wilt, sure, but suffer? Naw, not a bit.
Ow wow. I was worried where this would end up…. but i’m happy you kept true to the feline. He is way to adorable to mess with. That and every ounce of respect I have for you would poof away.
Heh, be warned about those claws though. They aren’t retractable for no good reason, keeps them sharp as a katana. Just something to keep in mind if you ever make Matt angry.
*blinks* Joel, had you betrayed Matt I would have found you, tricked you with a frisbee, had you raped by a rather large demon I know, then slapped you with a rubber glove.
I must say, you and veganism just don’t seem to mix perfectly. ^^ You and Matt however…
how is that punishment for him…? >:)
uhm…(still kars, under better alias)
it’s painful? >:3
Oh man. Once my iPod was on Shuffle Songs and somehow the banjo theme from Super Mario World came on (Yoshi’s Island) and my mates were playing Gears of War.
Takes on a whole new atmosphere, man.
XD
God I love this Comic…..
Can’t wait till the 30th when I can finnaly restart work on Mine.
Tell you one Thing.
If your right handed, don’t try to draw with your left Hand
Fails Miserably.
GODDAMN ADD! Sorry for changing the topic on ya Joel.
>>
<<
Useless Poof.
XD
Lancer chainsaw kills= awesome
There is nothing more satisfying after a crappy day than cutting a grub into tiny, bloody bits.
its been awhile but, ….
1: Joel is right, Matt suck at Gears of War.
2: Gears of war one is awesome and totally kick ass.
3: Why not God of war? Lots of bloodshed in that game.
c: -hugs Joel and Matt- And that is all. -votes on comic-
I’m surprised.
I know I am pretty late in reading this post, but I had a lot to do, and its was a great post Joel. I really hope to see more. I also think Matt should spend a little more time on an XBox… but I’m sure thats only me. >_<
Damn. Joel, get Matt on the Xbox more. I don’t even own one and i know how to use a controller! But then again, it’s “too big for his virgin hands”…
XD
Hey, Joel. Small question. Do you like to share Matt at all? I’ve been thinking about a small fan-fiction story and I’m just wondering if you’d be interested in a threesome at all with Matt.
Just wondering, you can decline if you wish.
With Matt and my fursona, that is.
I’m always up for threeways, but convincing Matt may be another matter. I’m sure I could talk him into it.
Sweet. This’ll be fun.
so Joel, how are you and matt doing these days? its been a while since you have posted anything
I’ve been reading through these blogs for a while now… I love blogs, they’re such a handy (if oft-misleading) little insight into the personalities/inner workings of the authors. How come everyone seems to think you’re ‘going soft’ or doing things that ‘aren’t like you’? People are multi-faceted and not two-dimensional, like for instance, characters in a comic.
*blinks* …What?
You and Matt make a cute couple, Joel. If you can convince Matt there’s nothing wrong with doing so, could you let us all in on what goes on when you’re in bed ‘making like bunny-rabbits’?
Ughm… Mr. Joel.. I wonder, At your bedroom on the wall…. you seem to did “it” so many times with Artie…. but i thought Artie was straight….How come you got to him soo many times…. was it rape?
I think it’s sweet you passed up the girl to get home to Matt.
It’d be a bit sweeter if you’d passed up every other person you had sex with to get to Matt, but that’s not my business, I suppose.
I suppose Matt won’t be a virgin for long, poor guy. I don’t want to see what he looks like when you’re done with him.
Mm. Cute, though I had hoped for some insight on more pressing matters than sex and “love”. For example… Are you really “Joel” or are you just a puppet for the real character behind all the omen-like encounters that we’ve been seeing.
…I’d love to know more about the bitch that Arty pulled out of you when you fought.
Another intriguing point is the control of your aura- I’d like to roam in sunlight without it burning me for more than an our just once.
I guess I’m just a big ol’ hippy-loving Sonic Unleashed fan then. So too bad if you hate me for that XP
Joel maybe you should be more nicer to Matt and the rest of your friends.
hey Joel. Have you ever seen 30 Days of Night? i just saw it a few days ago and it was so cool!!!!!!! anyway i think it would match your personality. btw you got a facebook per chance?
you know, I’m not a furry but i thought that rabit was pretty hot; and by the way I’m a huge Soilwork fan
Hey, Joel I have a question. You know, I can be very… inopportune. Well, I’ve been asking this to a lot of people, so if anyone wants to give its answer, it will be well received: what happens to a person when is engulfed by a character?
Another random comment: you’re hot, quite sexy. Such a shame I’m not into guys. And your couple, well, I think the entire fandom already know how Matt looks. Why I’m saying this? I don’t know, I’m kind of nervous, I usually don’t leave any comments online.
Last random comment: One day I was walking on the street, heading to the bus stop, then I suddenly remembered the story about Roland and Aaron. Then THIS came to my mind: what kind of couple is Joel? I guess your quite the gentleman since you actually, you DO appreciate the relationship you have with Matt, but then again I recall what Roland said: “Joel’s style of kissing seemed so hungry and desperate compared to Nicole’s soft, careful, deliberate movements.” Which leads me to this: Matthew, what kind of kisser is Joel? Hell, I know you love how he kisses (and not only that) but, then again, explain this poor, curious soul, how is it?
Thanks for your attention.
Truly Yours, D.
Well I’m glad to see that you stayed true to Matt because if you didn’t I would of hunted you down a stick a bullet or two in ya… although I’d LOVE to fight you mono de mono.
Also why the HELL do people keep calling you a DOG!!! If someone called me a dog I’d bitch slap them
Joel, I have an unrelated Q for you. You see, im curious to the nature of your spritual powers. How exactly do you manefest yourself in the form of the Reaper? I mean, I have visualized something pretty similar for myself before, and am curious about the nature of the metaphysical realm.
Joel? I know you’re being monogamous for Matt, but did you ever ask his opinion on the matter? Maybe he really wouldn’t mind sharing once in awhile…
You make being bi seem like the damn coolest thing in the world. That doesn’t mean that someone has said that it wasn’t. YAY, for pointless chat room observations!
Sonic unleashed = Dammit Sega you’re failing us!!!
G.O.W = Amazing, I’m going to murder 300 babies to get the third one!
But this is MADNESS!
THIS IS- a reference to a number you used.
