They’re teenage boys. This topic was bound to come up eventually.
This week’s vote incentive: Where my wonky-ass brain immediately decided it would be funny for this to go next. I imagine the panel after it would be filled with shrieking or fainting. Perhaps both.
Oh! And there’s some wonderful new art in the Fanart section that you should check out. Thank you again, FourLeafFaun! :D

While i feel bad for Ten getting destroyed with questions, the last panel is awesome XD
Haaaahahaha! Also, Jovi’s asking for a *straight* answer. Ba-dum-TSHHHH! Now may be the time to abscond, Ten. Seems like you both need to clear your head before this conversation is finished.
Oh my god Jovi xD
I love these characters so much how is it that they’re this fantastic even when at odds… and that is pretty much the best bonus panel ever.
That is so AWESOME! Panel one is the best avar! Well, o.k. You know what my fav. is, so yeah, number two in my heart. That is brilliant! OMG! Your work is awesome! Top 50 here we come!
Jovi, now who’s being harsh?
Jovi! no hand gestures! That’s crass,and also doesn’t make sense for intern.gen’tls?? I may ask about this for the next Q & A comic.
Actually, it does. Many male animals (including reptiles) have internal penises (penii) that come outside their cloaca when they are ready to reproduce. Many have two (or one that is split with 2 heads). For mammals, they look a bit like external penises, but a bit smaller. So while, internal male genitals look like “girly bits” at first, they can look very “male” (in a human sense) when aroused. I’m guessing that is probably how it works in the “Shades of Gray” universe, too, but could be wrong.
Yeah, that’s probably about right. I’ve avoided thinking about it in any kind of detail for so far, but something internal that occasionally becomes external fits the vague idea.
Oh, yeah, I can see that. That makes sense. If that’s going to be how it works, in-universe.
I want to ask why that should even matter at all? How is that relevant to the story?
It’s just background info.
If you want to stretch it, you could say that their physiology influences their society and how they interact in certain instances. And explains certain hand gestures.
Even if a bit of information sounds irrelevant, it can be useful to know. The little details are how you really fill out a character or a setting; stuff like the photos on Ten’s wall tell you as much or more about his character than his bio does.
Am I strange because in my mind’s eye, I’m animating their ears as they talk? It does add to the expressiveness of their words.
You need to make panel 1 available without text so people can adopt Ten as their avatar.
Oh! Ditto, me, too!! Me too, some Ten Avatars! Yes, yes, yes!
Welllll…. since you asked so nicely…
I left it big so you could resize it however you like.
We didn’t ask, suggested, and I cheered him on.
May we please, please have an avatar?
Oh,! Thank you so much — this is just what I wanted! Thank you, again. Now go pack boxes. Good luck tomorrow.
That’s really freaking cute x3
As usual, Ten takes the cake.
Li’s expression is wonderful on that last dialogue snippet. THAT SMILE! T’is brilliant! I can almost hear it in my head!
Damn it all! I started reading on a Sunday and devoured everything that was put up in one sitting. Now I have to wait all week.
On the other hand, I’m very happy that I found this, because aside from quickly becoming my favorite webcomic ever, it also has one of the best fan-bases I’ve ever seen. Also, I made a Gravatar to post to this site and can’t figure out how to use it, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for the kind words!
It’s been a while since I’ve fiddled with Gravatars… uh…
As far as I remember, you sign up here https://en.gravatar.com/ and upload the image you want to use. As long as you use the same e-mail you registered with here, it should show up. If not, check the top of the comment section on this page: http://www.kahmith.com/bonus-pages/ … there are a couple things there that you might try to fix the problem.
OK, trying again.
YAY it worked!
Welcome to the Family, Nevermoreaiden
I should get a Gravatar at some point myself. *sighhhh* using effort after work though… that does not sound fun.
Thank you, but please, just Aiden is fine. Nevermore was a reference to a book I loved, but nobody ever gets it because everyone just thinks of Edgar Allan Poe.
Did you know that you just “Bumped” The-WhiteBoard comic? Did know that? They’ve been online since like 2002 CE or more, and you were at 91, now they’ are 91 and you are at 90, … You just bumped one of the oldest strips on the web. Crap! I’d hate to have you on the “opposing team” for roller-derby. You’re killer!
Huh! I didn’t know, but that’s pretty awesome!
Awesome doesn’t come close! This moves your comic from “good…,” or “Great!,” and into the “ICONIC!!!” class. No really, it’s a sea change, or a phase shift, or a … Something.
Hey! I just wanna say that I got into reading this on Monday. I finally caught up and I am pretty jazzed with some sci-fi space opera slice of life you got going on. Ten is adorable and I admit I really like Ten/Jovi a lot. I really hope Jovi didn’t blow it and ruin their friendship. I don’t know what same sex pairings are like among the Kilim but it’s good you didn’t throw it in for the lulls and it was actually built up progressed as a normal relationship.
Go for it Ten, Jovi is super cute take him <3
