The core joke of Thog is that Rich could get across the same amount of plot development using fewer words. But when a strip has no plot development whatsoever, there's nothing to Thog.

I'll admit I'm a little relieved; I was so sure that Rich would make O-Chul gay and making him celibate is marginally less cringey

He is a kid and has had little exposure to humans so probably doesn't know much about them and maybe he thought it was neat that he had something in common with someone so different from him. I kind of just wish O-chul just said something like "No, I'm just not looking for anyone right." Being asexual is dumb.

You know, I probably wouldn't be so bothered by these "literally fucking nothing happens" updates if it weren't ~2 months between updates.

Like I'm legitimately concerned at this point that either Rich or myself will kick it before the story is finished.

It's not like he's George RR Martin. Rich is only 51, and not every update is so far apart from the previous one.

Actually though, I wouldn't be surprised if he whipped this one up quick while he had the idea. It's one of the rare pages that doesn't really seem to touch on anything that matters to the plot, and the bit is topical. Easy to throw together, doesn't need him to selectively look for what threads he wants to pull at and then wrap it up in a joke.

assuming this book is the last one, and that it's about as long as his last couple books (~260 comics), he's on pace to reach the end (comic 1449) on February 10, 2031.

That's using the last 30 or so comics to get the average completion time, but that's steadily been getting worse... Nevertheless, I'm sure someone will still be here, thogging.

He said in one of the Q&As that there will be seven books, even if the seventh one was so long it had to be split into two physical volumes. He also said in the sixth book that Sunny would be an important character "in the first half of the next arc". So we're not even at the halfway point. This shit lasting until 2040 is not implausible.

It's a combination pandering and gag-a-day strip when he's nominally making a serious effort to finish sometime in the next decade, and the last one was a tik-tok gag-a-day strip. What with aura-farming months ago and that scurvy opening scars has absolutely been doing the rounds online I wonder if he's just sitting in front of tumblr because he's run out of ideas. The bit that anyone who got scars before gaining access to healing spells has to do surgery to be taken seriously was moderately interesting, but the sex stuff coming from what's ostensibly a child and been largely treated like one is a bit bleak, although I guess given Elan's apparent mental age that's not something Burlew thinks or cares about

Imagine if everyone in your life was super into juggling. Everyone had several sets of balls around the house, it was on every television show, advertisements would talk about how using the product would make your throws more consistent or your arc higher, people would exchange balls as a token of affection, on and on and on with the juggling. High schoolers steal each other's juggling equipment or dare each other to juggle dumber and dumber shit. Adults spend massive amounts of money on fragile juggling balls to show their mastery because if they ever dropped they'd shatter. A whole juggling society.

Now say you understand the mechanics of juggling, you've maybe even tried it a few times, but you don't really enjoy it. It's something to do with your hands but it's not a spiritual experience. You'd feel like a crazy person, that everyone you met treated this act as foundational and an intrinsic part of the human experience, and at most you find it tolerable.

It's not necessarily "bad" that you don't juggle but you're definitely on the back foot all the time, even if the only impact on your day-to-day life is you don't particularly care how high the ceilings are.

If you've never tried kissing or sex, you should. A lot of people think it's gross until they try it, and studies show that sexual arousal suppresses the disgust instinct.

Sex is objectively gross. In heterosexual sex, the man sticks his sweaty crotch object into a woman's orifice the inside of which is mostly physically similar to the inside of a nostril. The eventual goal is for a sticky fluid to leave the man's penis. The whole thing is gross.

And kissing? You jam your lips against each other and move your tongues together and exchange a bunch of saliva. It's gross.

A lot of foreplay is like licking another persons skin? Weird.

But when you're into it, none of that seems gross and all of it (well, most of it) seems awesome.

I've tried kissing, but it turned out pretty sexless. admittedly, the girl in question wasn't into me, it was our first kiss, and both of us had chapped lips. Ironically, both of us ended up being ace and she became a guy a few years ago.

As someone who was asexual until apparently my brain decided at the ripe age of 22 to turn on the urge to fuck, I have been in both fields and I can say as an asexual I literally missed out on nothing.

If anything being hetero just made it hard annoying to be alone. I honestly wish I could go back to the way I was before. I feel disgusted with how much I need and want sex. How much I want to hold her tight and listen to her ramble on endlessly. It disgusts me in ways I can't even articulate to be so very biological.

Until I get some titties in my face and it all makes sense again.

Going from asexual to horny when you aren't some dipshit teen is the craziest shit. I truly relate to the protagonist in a eldritch horror story who's mind was forcefully opened. The world was instantly different and fascinatingly disgusting and beautiful and it was always there.

I have to perform evil acts to survive. We all do. Just because they are required, does not make them not evil. The cruel hand of nature doesn't permit one to be without sin.

It's so strange to me how I knew hundreds of people growing up. I've kept at least a little bit in touch - through reunions - with the 17 people from my middleschool as well as the 29 people from my highschool + a bunch of students from outside of my class. I spent a year after highschool in a sort of commune with some 30 other young people, and I met some 60 odd friends at uni. And nowadays I have 40+ coworkers of course. Add to that an extended family with 14 aunts and uncles and 26 cousins. Then my wife has a huge catholic family as well that I have to hang out with every now and then.

And I've never met a trans person or anyone who called themselves asexual. I know 1 guy who's still a confirmed virgin at 33, but we're good friends and I know he's extremely horny for women. I also knew 1 lesbian girl in uni, and I have a friend from highschool who says he's bi but has only dated girls.

Then I go on 4chan or twitter and fucking everyone is some flavor of sexual dysfunction, and I get terrified that I'm looking into the future of my own country. If it's just a matter of time before this shit spreads from America to all other western nations.

Your life experience is going to be different than everyone else's. I have about a half-dozen friends who are trans, and one that came out as nonbinary and asexual. In the case of the latter, that person used to identify as a cisgender man, and even has a child with their loving wife (and they still have a great relationship). I didn't know any trans people at all until I was in college, and that's partly because that's around the time that people I knew and grew up with came out as trans. You know, after they became adults and had more freedom to come to grips with their own identities as people.

I also used to think to myself "are trans men uncommon, because I don't know any?" And then one of my friends who used to identify as a lesbian came out as a trans man (turns out he was straight all along). Point being that a perspective of "I've never known anyone to be X" is likely temporary, and more a matter of circumstance than it necessarily being an indicator of the average experience. A lot of life is anecdotal.

How much does it bother you when you get into a work and then it never gets completed?

If that's an issue for you, don't bother. If that isn't an issue, it's a decently entertaining webcomic (stick figure art notwithstanding) at least arguably worth a read. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but when you're not waiting 2 months between updates most of it is pretty good.

Do you even know any, or do you just believe the weird internet stereotypes?

The whole point of this page is to have a laugh at WotC's bizarre inclusion of a beholder as though that were sensible asexual representation. The beholder in this case gets very excited about the thing without understanding why there's a difference in the meanings of these things, just like the source material.

O-Chul is a more down to earth, more correct example of an asexual person. He only brings up his disinterest in relationships when the topic actually becomes related to that. Since he's a fictional paladin in a world that's very unlike ours, there would also be no reason for him to be a "I stand in solidarity with my fellows in pride display" types, even if he would still be more tame than the stereotypes if that were the case. After all, persecution over basically nothing serious is exactly the kind of thing that would make him find the injustice in that.

The question of cutting out your naturally-healed scars to be magically healed without scarring is interesting. And a Paladin's perspective on that should differ from a Cleric's.
