Now I hope we’ll swap to Ethan and how he’s breaking up with his toxic girlfriend.

The public RSS has the original pubDate’s (Mar 16th), that’s not very convenient (the entries seem to appear in the past), but not critical.

I don’t understand the Jeopardy and 400 ref. Can someone explain? (I am kinda afraid to google it. Seems dirty :p)

A popular trivia show called Jeopardy! used categories which had dollars awards to the answers, to which the contestant was required to provide a question.

“This game show used answers for questions” for $400

“What is ‘Jeopardy!’?” For $400, Alex.

It’s a classic trivia show with categories and points, you’re safe to look it up as long as you avoid the SNL skits of Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy.

But the Tom Hanks Jeopardy SNL skit is brilliant

Jeopardy! is a television game show where the contestants pick a subject (in this case “Sweet Boyfriends), the host gives a definition related to the subject such as “In the popuplar web-comic Ctrl+Alt+Del, this main-characters alter-ego is in a relationship with a cop”, and the contestant has to guess the word the answer refers to in the form of a question (Who is D-Pad?). The “400” refers to the points the contestant will receive

It’s a reference to the television game show “JEOPARDY!” where contestants have a board with categories along the X-Axis and monetary values along the Y-Axis. The contestants will say “I’ll take X-Category for Y” and they will then be given an answer they must pose a question to that fits the category. You can look it up on YouTube. It’s quite entertaining.

Thank you for modelling healthy communication in a relationship. Lesser comics would go the dysfunctional route for laughs.

I think the other relationship is dysfunctional enough. Too much would be overkill.

I freaking love their relationship. 🙂 It’s so refreshing to see a healthy relationship in fiction rather than the usual “I won’t tell him how I feel! He should just KNOW!” and “hm, this situation looks like it could be upsetting. TIME TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS!” BS we often see on TV. :p

I really never expected CAD to have one of my favorite-written relationships in something I’ve read in the past 5-6 years.

There’s something about the lighting whenever these two are together. It’s a definite Mood.

He makes actually so much sense.

And more importantly, these two are so uber cute. 😀

Tim just keeps doing it. I’m straight, and not used to having gay relationships in books I read because they often feel so poorly written. But this relationship for Lucas works and I’m loving it. Proper storytelling, who knew?

Relationships are best written, when they’re just written as relationships… (not gay replationships, or straight relationships, etc.)
