The food was horrible by the way.
Edit (2/10/2019): So I’ve realised this comic in particular has been garnering negative vibes for a while now for being somewhat insensitive to some. The joke not being funny is a completely valid argument to make, but do note that this is, with all intents and purposes, a joke. The joke being my ‘response’ to an individual, not the individual himself, nor a particular group of people.
This comic was made during a period of time when I was unsure of how to respond to flirtatious advances made by people of the same gender, as I was still insecure about my own masculinity. Over time, I’ve learned to how to accept these insecurities and grow past them, while realising that there are more mature (and funnier, while still being respectful) ways to turn down flirts that we’re not comfortable with. In other words I’ve realised that my “response” in this comic is the equivalent of being an asshole and I apologise to anyone who felt disrespected with said “response”. Hiding our insecurities (be it mental/physical/sexual) should not be at the expense of anyone.
With time, I’ve grown to understand that I am 110% confident that I not only like, but love, da pussy. However, if I flirted with a lady (not that I have the confidence to), and she responded by flipping me off, it’d be an instant boner killer for me too.
If you felt this comic was homophobic, I can probably understand why. Perhaps this comic was a poor representation of the discomfort and insecurity I had at the time towards being flirted by someone of the same gender, but I hope the explanation earlier cleared things up of what the joke actually was and how it could’ve been done better. Allow me to clarify that I do not have anything against homosexuals, nor was this comic a jab at them.
Also, I won’t delete this comic as I’d like to keep it up as a reminder to always be better than the immature self I used to be, and that I used to be this immature. Hopefully, this can be referred to as proof that, with time, people can be better.

This is literally how I react whenever I smell a gay, even though I was bisexual
Haaa… The good “Community”. Where we’re all together until someone has a slightly different opinion of what’s “acceptable”, and then all the community partners you think are your friends turn their backs on you. Can anyone else smell the hypocrisy, or is it just me?
You are completely right.
I am a part of the community, and thought it was hilarious. It’s probably because of all the different opinions surrounding it and how the community is surfacing so that almost everyone knows about it. I’m a lesbian, and all the time I still worry about offending people inside the thing I’m a part of. So at least in my opinion, you’re alright!
That boi like haii just for random to be like nope I’m good 😁✌️
I think it’s funny regardless of the gender x)
to be honest this is hilarious, and sure it maybe insensitive but in my experience some people cant take a hint, and as a person who likes both men and women, i never saw this as being homophobic, and i kinda have hard time finding it as such. its rude for sure but thats life
Ppl not pick too much. Someone you don’t care for hits on you you tell em to fuck off. Doubt ppl would be half as butt hurt if it was a woman doing it to a woman
Lol all of these SJW snowflakes getting offended despite Rando stating that he was NOT making any attempt to make fun of homosexuals. You sensitive snowflakes just need to grow up and learn to take a joke. I’m autistic and have had seen my fair share of jokes pointed at mentally challenged people (some were intentionally hateful). But what I did NOT do was to start breaking down and hating on those who made those jokes. The point here is that the fault does not lie in Rando’s comics, it just lies in your over-sensitive and self-entitled character to think that no one should have an opinion on homosexuality.
I agree 100%.Dude,what’s the point of crying over something that other people can’t see what’s wrong with it?yes,every human being are born different,what ppl should learn it’s adjust to your surroundings and live your own life as much as you like.Cuz in the end,we are all gonna die out anyways,when come on.We aren’t immortal.Just as much as men should adjust living the same area with g@y men,THEY should know the boundaries as well.Can you explain what’s going on here?This dude just openly flirts with him and Rando being the d*ckhead he is,turned him down.Yes,tbh even I would do that as well.We really shouldn’t discuss about this in the first place.When a topic about other ppl’s sexuality gets out of hand,then..THIS happens.One thing before all of you are gonna start arguing again,do this suppose TO MATTER?Do YOU decide the way on how other ppl are living?It’s THEIR life man,and you got YOURS.There are plenty of stuff happening around the world aready.Drrug dealers,polluters,smugglers,the pandemic.Just stop these hypocrisy and help instead to ppl who are in need.Drug dealers are highly addicts and they need plenty of help so they can live normally.Polluters,smugglers,wildlife traders,they should be punished since they did something wrong so it’s a way to reevaluate themselves.Also,don’t get me started on the pandemic.YOU ALL know what to do.Social distancing,wear masks,make the world a better place.THIS IS ALL FOR OUR OWN GOOD!Yes,this is off-topic,so why can’t you take a simple joke smh.That’s what they all say,if you can’t change YOURSELF,how TF can you change others?Hypocrisy and judgement is just as bad as discrimination fyi.This should stop maybe it’s better if we don’t talk about other ppl’s sexuality AT ALL.Period.
I respect Rando’s response to this comic, that is obviously a joke, as someone non-binary i saw this as an offense to the people like me, and after seeing this response, i respect him more because of his reasoning, and now that i think about it im pretty sure that many people wouldn’t be able to respond very well, and i now have this weight off my shoulders i can enjoy his comics without feeling like a hypocrite
Lol what?? having to listen to different “ideologies” that you’re preaching makes you “hypocrite” now?? No wonder your kind is so intolerant.
*no HARM done
Guess we should ignore your kind of ‘society’ as it is.I mean,can we believe that not everyone could be made as a homosexual rather than a HETEROsexual?Men are made for women and vise versa.That’s the most basic analogical aspect ever.G@y men are more like women that’s stuck in a man’s body,so basically it’s creepy if someone like that flirts with you openly.It’s uncomfortable and makes you feel like your dignity as a man is being watered down like how you use mud for your clothes instead for a detergent substitute.This comic is just a joke and the author has explained it,THOROUGHLY so no harem done.Don’t get butthurt over this,it’s unhealthy.Yeah,it’s pretty ironic when you want Rando to end up g@y just for the ‘representations’ of this comic.Really..it’s awkward.It’s not intolerant,read the message from the author again.He didn’t mean anything discriminatory it’s just your pussy is too stretched for you to understand what basic knowledge sounds like.
I’m very proud of you for leaving this comic as it is, unfortunately we live in a society in which if you aren’t homosexual then you must be homophobic.
And also, the joke isn’t in any way offensive, if you would change the gay men for Rando, and Rando for any girl, no one would be annoyed by the outcome, girls are mean and don’t measure words, but for some reason we, as heterosexuals, have to comply to the homossexual desires of others, otherwise we are tagged as homofobes.

I greatly appreciate your edit, since I have always loved your comics and humour, but when I saw this for the first time it did leave a bad taste in my mouth. Hope you find a nice girl you feel comfortable flirting with and she responds with flirting back and not a middle finger. A middle finger would be a very nasty strike to the ego 😀
I’m not homophobic and I enjoyed this comic.
I wink at and flip off my male co-workers all the time.
You are one positive person.Guess ppl with self entitled opinions would never move on after all.
I hate having to do this, explaining humor ruins it.
The joke wasn’t that he hates gay people, it’s subverting expectations. If you remove the second to last panel then the humor is lost, but the way he uses the menu and the smile to get you to think one thing, then subverts it with the middle finger reveal, THAT contrast is the joke. He could have done it with anyone, but the point of the joke hinges on him being unattracted to the person hitting on him in public. So he picked the most obvious thing as a likely straight dude, another guy. He could have used an ugly chick, too, but you vapers would be pissed off about that as well.
Honestly, anybody that thinks there is no joke here is being intellectually dishonest. Get off your high horse.
You are very intelligent. That’s all I need to say.
Isn’t this a perfect time to do a creative montage of the other characters receiving and dealing with the same situation in different ways. Like Amirul crossing his arms in mid air and shaking his head, or Mike walking over and politely declining. Lu and Puss would probably just do the same as Rando. (Heck make Lu’s version between the two versions of herself.)
Whoever gets offended by this or any other comic online is an insecure snowflake that needs to stay off the internet. Dont give in to their bullshit. It will eventually make you as bad as they are.
