Had a family breakfast out yesterday. I know that feeling.

he knows Lucas is a superhero and his plan to take him out is to fatten him up until vigilantism will sound like it’s way too much of a hassle (since you gotta go out and stuff)
Lucas 1.0 was nearly killed by the person he was dating. She actually plotted for him to fall from the sky and be crushed by a giant fat man named Gord. So, uh… stranger things have happened.
“Well, we tired our best.” makes it look a little like Lucas hears voices talking to him.
Is Lucas this universe’s future Deadpool?
(well, power-wise Ethan is closer, can’t really die, and has no powers beyond that, but if it’s Lucas who starts hearing voices… 😉 )
So, fun fact time! Back in 2018 there was a survey of law enforcement and one of the questions was if they used force and/or violence in their family and almost 50% said that they did. This was a self reporting survey, so it was probably higher than the 42%. And there are a bunch of people in psychology tha have dealt with the WHY. One big reason is our cops are trained, built, and educated that one of the cops main positions is authority and the person or persons who should be listened to at all costs. One of… Read more »
The best part is both of you skimmed over me mixing up the names of Ben the cop with Tim the author. The breakfast eggs on our faces have been prepared to perfection by a culinary whiz.

Has it been established why Lucas wants to always keep things casual? Is it just because he doesn’t want the person possibly finding out about his superhero activities? (Not that that isn’t a valid reason.)
Two strips prior, Ethan pointed out that after “Aaron” he’s always been casual. Lucas has often pointed to the fact that being casual is best for being a superhero vigilante, because he doesn’t have to worry about lying, exposing his identity, or having vulnerable liabilities hanging around. But that’s never sounded like the reason he stays casual; more like a bonus.
This is my actual funeral plan, to be made into food for an endangered species.

Going for a random guess at the moment, give the relationship some months down the line, Ben turns out to be taking backhanders from some minor/super villain, and to coerce Ben at some point, this villain tries to harm/kidnap Lucas, causing Lucas to reveal his ability. Will the relationship survive, will they keep each other’s secrets?
Perhaps more importantly, what are the public attitudes and state laws regarding gay relationships/marriages?
If the latter are not legal, then wedding isn’t an option for them, at least in this state.
(if they would even want to get married in the first place, there are couples who aren’t married and it’s just fine for them)

This inner monologuing would fit right into the very tiny overlapping sliver of a Ethan-Lucas inner monologuing Ven diagram.

To be honest, it does not realy sound/look so good. Seems reeaaaaaly heavy on the stomach ^^
Brioche? Heavy? It’s basically flavoured air!
It’s not the brioche, it’s the mascarpone and the bananana ^^
I know how to spell bananana. I just don’t know how to stop.
butter and flour dont make falvoraid air tbh
not the worse, but not air either
Yeah, a breakfast like that isn’t something you run away from.
Poor Lucas, might as well enjoy it! xD
As it turns out, actually the road to hell is paved with cinnamon brioches.
🎶 Can you feel the love tonight? 🎶
😀
Or in this case, morning. lol
Lucas probably just has to accept that the relationship is happening at this point and start planning accordingly.
Makes sense. That guy must be really arresting!

Oh no, the evil cousin of the Necrobaker strikes again! Fear the cunning Engorger!

Really? I don’t remember that. Well, the latter part, I vaguely recall a scheming girlfriend.
Do you have a link to where/when this happens?
Enjoy your trip down the memory lane:

Just acquiesce. Its less painful that way.
And more delicious

Too good…when is revealed he is evil?
I mean, Tim has already shown he’s a cop 😉
If this relationship turns out true to life, we’ve got about 50/50 odds of Lucas going through a domestic abuse plotline ahead of us.
Yes, but that has nothing to do with Tim being a cop.
it has everything to do with it tho

I mean I think the biggest reason is because he’d be a huge hypocrite at that point because of what he’s told Ethan….

Wasn’t it also because he is a cop, and they aren’t registered heroes?
give it up, you’re as cooked as the food
And it looks delicious!
