Totally not a gay moment. Did I mention it was not a gay moment? Because it was not a gay moment.

Also I wonder which one of you preferred Pop and which one preferred Soda. n.n

It was important to me to state that as I did because the person in question is not gay and I actually feel badly for the modern straight man who tries to show emotion only to have the 'gay' thing thrown in his face. I suppose it's weird for me to be sensitive about the gay thing, but there you go.

As for the soda, that was done on purpose. When I lived in Boston, it was soda. Here in the midwest, it's pop. So the two bottles were a sort of visual transitional metaphor.

Yeah, guys have to spend a lot of time denying any and all possibility that they're FAGGOTS unless they have decided that yes, they like the cock, and they don't care who knows... I guess it's just part of the gender even if you're queer.

I'm from Nawlins so I call 'em all COL' DRANKS.

This jives with my recollection, too. I remember the sun setting (rather, the sun having set after I passed out) and the pizza, and the duality of the whole afternoon as a wonderful time spent together, but also as the last time of that sort. You seemed so surprised that I'd help you load the truck, and I still dont understand why - my surprise was that I was the only one.

Miss you. Thought of you and Tyler this morning while I was surfing.

additionally, I guess it hardly matters whether it was a gay moment or not. Likee you said, just two friends enjoying a last afternoon of honest work.

I'm glad it didn't bother you that I made this comic. I purposefully didn't name you because of your present situation. You know, possible uncomfortableness and such. The emphasis on it not being a gay moment was made because I am gay and you're not and for me, there were no such overtones, regardless of the details. Still, it is one of my fondest memories of you. That was a different time, wasn't it?

I don't know why I was surprised that you offered to help though I was certainly grateful that you did. I don't even remember if Andy and Steve were around at all. I don't remember. They might have been gone for the weekend. Mostly I just remember that there was this big pause before I left Boston and I spent it with you.

Thanks, James, for this and for that. I will always wish you well.
