Definately this comic is one of my favourite webcomis and I love coming online to see a new update. I truly believe that it is the characters and the story that draw me so heavily to this comic, but dont get me wrong the art is amazing as well. Would love to see how he turns his life around and if he doesnt I would love to see how that turns out too.

On a side note, that “Hey you” Im wondering if it is just another random person or could someone who left for newyork have found him wandering the streets? either way looking forward to the next page.

Carapace is totally right. I’m not reading this comic because I want to see a super hero win at life and overcome all his problems with the greatest of ease.

I read this because he’s the average guy. He has issues, problems, and argues with his family. He’s unhappy and looking for what he really wants out of life. This is pretty much the description of everyone. If you’re reading this comic to see an amazing man do heroic and epic things then you’re reading the wrong comic. This one is about a struggling young person trying to take care of other animals while he can barely take care of himself.
It’s not about how you succeed in life, but how you deal with the failures and grow stronger from them.

Thanks, Carapace. I’m glad there are some out there who ‘get’ it.

Ok, this bit of framing right here is why I love Tails. Ethan is a self centered idiot, as many people ar, and especially most protagonists of bio-comics. And I hate them for that
But in Tails the narrative doesn’t let him get away with it. It’s not The Tale of Awesome Guy Being Oppressed By the World; it’s about a guy who keeps messing himself up. And I hope it’s about him growing past some of his problems, because paradoxically, having story-permission to not approve of Ethan makes me a lot more fond of him.

Also: I love that he had swirly elbows in the sex scene. Tres Hawt!;)
