Comic chapter cover with Ansel and Ren in bath towels, walking away from each other. Ren is hunched over self-consciously and blushing while Ansel strides away with confidence. Text blurbs are scattered around the image: "T 4 C transhet" "shared trauma" "post-apocalypse if it were just boring and funny". One points to Ren and says "smol bean secretly an insatiable adrenaline junkie" and another points to Ansel saying "California's most dangerous man secretly just very tired". A final blurb points to them both and says "both not so secretly into each other".
Ansel and Ren walk down a street in the late afternoon, heading back to their motel room.
Ren: What the hell was that anyways? You wasted that guy like he was nothing!
Ansel: He was nothing.
Ren: I wasn't even in any real danger.
Ansel: It sure looked like danger to me!
Ren: I couldda just slugged him in his stupid face but go on, Slab McChuckRoast.
Ansel: Is that a reference I'm supposed to get?
Ren: No. So let me get this straight. Twenty minutes ago you were drying my tears and then you... do this.
Ren's next line catches him off-guard. He frowns and blushes.
Ren: Did you have some wiggles to get out or is big bad Dune finally warmin' up to me?
Ansel: I contain multitides.
Ansel: You ready to hit the baths now or what? I'm pretty ripe and I'd like to wash this blood off.
Ansel: That shit corrodes, you know. And it's probably full of hepatitis too.
Ren: Shit, baths? Like bathtub baths?
Comic page with three panels. In the first panel, a farm truck has lost control and has careened right through a guardrail on the side of the highway. There's a slope on the other side, not too steep. The driver inside the cab is yelling" Lord Jesus take the-!"
Inside the back of the truck, Ansel gathers up a panicking Ren as dates go flying around them.
Ren: Oh my god, we're going to die, aren't we?!
Ansel: We're not gonna die!
Ansel has secured Ren in his grip and holds his pistol between his teeth as he readies himself to jump out.
Comic page with 5 panels. Ansel and Ren sit next to each other on the ground in the shadow of a large bush as they talk.
Ansel: Maybe it's better that way. You never wanna meet your heroes.
Ansel: 'Cause then you might find out they're like me.
Ren: Shut up. You're only half bad.
Ansel pretends to get mad at her.
Ansel: You're supposed to say not half bad.
Ren, quoting somebody: Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.
They pair bust up laughing.
Ansel: Oh fuck off.
They settled down and in the last panel Ansel is giving her a warm and maybe flirtatious look as Ren blushes and draws her shoulders up coyly. She lets out one last little "heh".
Meet my comic THE TITAN! Looking for a romance that lovingly takes the piss out of the action thriller genre? Or how about a post-apocalyptic world grounded in reality? Or what about a stealth, straight, middle-age trans male MC?
