CHAPTER 9.5 - PAGE 9

(Transcript and visual captions below}

The kitchen was always the cool spot to have real, grown-up style conversations without worrying about wild beasts running around and breaking up the discourse. Unless of course, you were a wild beast yourself, in which case you would find greater fun outside, trying to get the hot tub to work or making out in any available closets or parent's beds.

Karl and Jack made small talk, which was interrupted now again by loud thumps upstairs, giggling and the like. It seemed they shouldn't be wasting their high by just standing around and talking, when giggling and thumping was the order of the day. Karl couldn't get up the nerve yet though, and Jack was busily dropping candies into his crappy beer. C'mon Karl, while you're still young! You won't be a sophomore forever...!

In which the pumpkin half is the top one, luckily.

Karl was stunned a moment, and stared mutely as hijinks styled music played on the movie.  
      "Are you-- are you gay?" Karl asked, feeling too baffled to have any particular feelings on this news yet.
      "No, I'm just doing it to thank you for the candy. Sheesh, of course I am. Gay enough anyway."
      "Wh-- why didn't you tell me!? After that whole thing...?"
      "You didn't ask."
      "But-- don't you think it would've been pertinent?!"
      "Pertinent? I dunno, I thought it was obvious... Anyway you gonna keep whinging about that nonsense or are we going to make out?"
      "...Make out, please."

SPOILER ALERT! Jack is gay. :O Who knew?

Sry this one was late, Karl's room was a doozy. Since I foolishly put so much detail into it, I will put up a larger version on Tumblr, Facebook, and here.

Also, big shout to people who have to deal with people touching their hair. At least this one was consensual! I only had to deal with that briefly when I had punk rock spikes in high school, people thought it was soooo funny to bend them. Which hurt 'cause y'know, attached to the head and all. Sadly I had the heart of a Cure fan and could not retaliate by bending their fingers. ;_;

            

TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.

1.)

(Jack and Karl hang out in the kitchen, drinking beer.)

KARL: You’re really not bothered?

JACK: By what?

2.)

(Karl is annoyed.)

KARL: Oh my gawd. Just like five minutes ago... that I’m gay.

JACK: Oh. Of course not.

3.)

(Jack looks bashful and Karl is excited by his upcoming proposal...)

JACK: Um Karl, I wanted to ask you something... Can I...

KARL: yes

4.)

(...and he is suitably disappointed.)

JACK: Touch your hair?

5.)

(Jack manhandles Karl's hair, who seems to be taking it with good humor.)

JACK: Whoa cool! I’ve always wanted to do this.

KARL:Haha, it’s real.

6.)

(Jack gestures for the mussed-hair Karl to come and manhandle his hair too.)

JACK: Now you touch mine!

7.)

(Karl nervously pats Jack's hair with shaky hands.)

KARL: Um, heh it’s.. very nice..?

8.)

(A couple kids from earlier in the party intrude and make Karl flip out.)

CAIRNS: Hey bro, got some paper towels? Had a li'l accident, no biggie.

9.)

(Karl is irritated by the interruption, Jack only cares about candy.)

KARL: Ugh, let’s just go to my room.

JACK:I’m guessing there’s no candy there sooo.

10.)

(They step into Karl's room, which is elaborately decorated, mostly with band paraphernalia. )

JACK: Wow. You’re super rich huh.

KARL: Haha, not really...

11.)

(Karl works up his nerve)

KARL: Hey um, do you think we could er... --Watch a movie or something?

12.)

(--and is unimpressed by his quick thinking.)

JACK: OK.

KARL: Why did I say that?!

13.)

(Karl looks through his coffin bookshelf, reading the titles of video tapes.)

KARL: Well... I’ve got Dead Iniquity, Nigel Sideshow’s Blood Reaper, Pumpkin Boy, oh that new one with Grey Starling as--

JACK: Pumpkin Boy!

14.)

(Jack and Karl lie on the bed, watching the movie. They both have their shoes off, which have been discarded by the bed.)

MOVIE: Oh you’re such a misfit, who could ever love a half-pumpkin?

15.)

(Karl rolls over and leans on his hand as Jack crunches up candy.)

KARL: Jack? I just-- y’know we’ve spent a lot of time together tonight and--

JACK: Yeeeah?

16.)

(Karl pleads with Jack, who cuts through the crap at last.)

KARL: Do you... maybe... want to...

JACK: What, make out?

KARL:Yeah

JACK:OK. Lemme finish eating.
