That Which We Call A Rose
Even Creeper’s can have intimate moments!
↓ Transcript
[ Panel 1 ]
CADENCE: Well at least “Creepasaurus Rex” sounds SOMEWHAT endearing. Stalker just sounds terribly MEAN, to me.
:: She gives him a flirty tap as she makes awkward claims to make her issues sound worse that Joseph's, because reasons. ::
JOSEPH: You’re ONLY mad ‘cos it’s true… STALKER!
[ Panel 2 ]
CADENCE: ARG! Seriously STOP calling me a STALKER!
:: She grabs his shirt in a threatening manner. ::
[ Panel 3 ]
JOSEPH: You wanna make SOMETHING of it?
CADENCE: Yeah, maybe I DO!
[ Panel 4 ]
CADENCE: Then WHAT!?
[ Panel 5 ]
:: Cadence lets go of her grip and softly slides her hand up his chest. She closes her eyes and begins to learn in. Joseph looks at her, leaning in as well. ::

Heyyyyy My mother was a Stalker! So take it easy man.Seriously, that was her maiden name. There’s even a Castle Stalker in Scotland.
Seriously? That’s actually pretty awesome! I was completely unaware of that.+3 Points (for layin’ down the knowledge)
im.. really kind of shocked. thats MY mothers maiden name, and she always tells me about that castle o.o.. (not kidding at all.)
Wow, that’s a pretty crazy coincidence. And here I am not even knowing that “Stalker” let alone “Castle Stalker” has been or even was a name!+1 point, for odd coincidences!
It was even in the movie Monty Python and The Holy Grail. It’s the one that stands in for Castle Ogg or The Grail Castle right at the end before they’re carted away by the Constables.
I see. Well, I can support that then. I love Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Your mom didn’t hear about if FROM that movie did shes? lol
No, we knew about it before we realized that it was in the movie.
+3 More points for knowledge… Now I’ve gotta go re-watch that movie! Psh, thanks. :]
Why did they switch sides!? I’m so confused! It’s also a bummer that they didn’t eat others faces. =/
Think of it as sort of like a camera angle change, like how when people are talking the camera will move around their faces. That’s all it is.. I just felt for their little moment.. it would be better from that angle so you could see cadence’ face better. :]
Rudy: Ruining moments since 2010.I love the sky in the last panel, especially how it contradicts the effect used in the fifth panel.
Haha, that’s exactly what Rudy is good for! :]Glad you liked that, and I’m even more excited that you took notice to the dramatic difference between the two moments. Awesome! Good eye! :D
Yeah the glow works really well
Thanks man, I really enjoy the feel that that technique gives to the comic. Glad you like it too. :D
FINALLY. I though Rudy was just going to walk of without saying something. At least he doesn’t make up ridiculous words to call people. Like stalker.
Yeah, what a stupid made up word “stalker” who comes up with shit like that? lol
Is it someone who does stuff with the stalks of plants? GROSS.
ew, I hope not. Sex with plants is just flat out WRONG!
>.> i wonder where Viagra came from
Now that sounds awesome. Nothing better than taking a nibble off a girls face. It could replace mouth-to-mouth on so many levels!Rudy deserves multiple awards.
LMAO! Rudy, the award winning monster, for excellent creative commentary! OMNOMNOMNOM…he’d eat the award, btw.
Ugh, you got me there XD!
OMNOMNOMNOM! :3
Cuuuute.
Thanks! I thought so. :3
* audience goes… “awww” * haha Im so glad! Man was that crazy sexual tension going on.I really enjoy their opposing facial expressions.
Well, nothing has happened yet! There was no kiss… you wanna talk about sexual tension, GET READY FOR SOME! mwhahahaha…
I’ve finally just read thru your entire archive in one sitting and I’m hooked! Love the art and humour… but I can’t wait for the story to progress….. it is going to progress right? ;)
Awesome! I’m glad to hear that! Thank’s for letting me know too, I love to hear from readers. :] And yes, the story is actually progressing. I mean, at some point I’ve gotta clue people in as to why whales are assholes…right? ^_~
My thoughts exactly! ^_^
I’ve got your thought’s covered, yo!
This comic is great. I’ve been a fan for a while but haven’t ever posted a comment. I keep reading what Rudy says with a cockney accent in mind, but also a gutteral sound to his voice, is that what you were going for?Also Joseph’s face in the last panel just creeps me out.
Aw, thanks I appreciate that! I’m glad you’re reading AND that you finally took the time to comment. It means a lot to me when people actually give me feedback and/or just shoot the shit with me here and there.As far as Rudy’s accent goes, I’d say sort of like a Ebonic Cockney? His grasp on the English language is sorta weak, He can understand it when it’s spoken to him.. like how a dog knows commands and such.. but he struggles to speak it..so he’s sort of created his own dialect of English… i guess that would be the best way to put it. So, the accent could really be any mixture of strange sounds! haha
The funny thing about THAT particular smile is I personally often make a smile like that.. when i get uncomfortable or don’t have anything to say… it sort of makes the situation even more awkward… I should probably stop doing that. lol
i assumed rudy’s throat, tongue or facial muscles werent very developed, since hes not human and humans got that area super evolved so we can speak a wide variety of sounds…speacialy ppl who know more than one language(me), since we speak the sounds of more than one language
Well Corbin, the fish and any other creature to date hasn’t had issues speaking English fluently though. :P BUT maybe you’ve got a point there, Rudy’s particular species may have under developed throat and tongue muscles. That’s a really intriguing thought actually! +2 points! :D
YAY!! 2 points!!I AM THE MASTER OF THE INTERNET!!
uh, what can i do with those 2 points?
Nothing, they are just arbitrary points that i give out for fun. :3
you are a terrible points giver, from now on i will only earn them to throw them at you for being a bad points giver*throws points at you*
*Revokes Point Privileges*
BAM!
LMAO!
Well, now that I’ve started commenting, you’ll probably see me around here more often. You seem to do things a lot like me, when I do/make something new I’m eager for feedback. I like the fact that you’ll actively talk and joke around with your audience, not a lot of other webcomic artists seem to do that outside of a forum environment… Please don’t start a forum for commenting!
Feed back is nice, and being able to joke around and just be myself after working 6hours+ on a comic is even better. Before I started my comic, it actually used to bum me out a bit when I’d comment on other comic artists sites and they wouldn’t get back to me. I sorta took a vow to try my best to always reply. I mean now that I’ve been doing it myself, i COMPLETELY understand how it can be too hard to find time for comments back, but I enjoy them so I make an extra effort to comment back to people before i start my day, and when I’m ending it before bed. :DI had a forum for a little while, I broke it, it was hard/tiring to maintain, so I took it down. I like the idea of having a place to share things with readers outside of the comments… like random pictures and youtube videos and ESPECIALLY to find new music and such, via other people. I’d NEVER do my comments section for each strip in a forum though, ew. It begins to get TOO informal, and I don’t really care for that at all. If I ever bring the forum back, it will ONLY be for the reasons I listed above.
Anyway, my apologies. Sometimes I over explain things and talk peoples ears off! lol ><
This would work great animated and voiced, if not for your supporting cast of creatures. I wanna hear Rudy and Corbin. I would love for Corbin to be voiced by Alan Rickman, and Rudy by Ben Affleck.
Oh man, If I could make this an animated series, there would be SOOO Many new windows for humor. I realized subtly is lost in humor comics at time, like annunciation for one thing, as well as just funny movements.I agree that Alan Rickman would HAVE to do a voice in L.A.W.L.S. more than likely the gay British fish though, not Corbin. But before i go on too long, Ben Affleck? WHY HIM!?! AND WHY RUDY!?! ><
I was sorta feeding you that one. I know you dislike Affleck, so I assumed you would enjoy directing him to “sound even more retarded.”
I hate you. >.<
Humans switch emotions so easily… Very unheard of on my planet! XD
The human condition is that of a very complex nature. You aliens would be lucky to even vaguely gain a comprehensive grasp on what it means to be human. Poor aliens…and human men for that matter….
i bet i would be luckier being an alien than a human with senseless emotions…is tentacle transplant an option?
Idk if you’d want a tentacle transplant.. then you’d just be a human…with an odd growth. Not sure if that would make you any more “lucky” with the ladies….well…maybe with some tentacle fetish chick? But what’s the likelihood of that? lol
will i win points for a creepy comment?
With the Ladies? I doubt it ^_~
but i need an excuse to make a comment that is possibly offensive to my reputation on this site
Nah, you don’t need an excuse. It’s all good. :D
with the tentacle transplant i wont need luck with the ladies, all i will need is a dark alley and something to stop the screams…MWAHAHAHAHHA
Oh noes… don’t become THAT guy. No one like him, trust me. :P
XD Just clean up after yourself later.
Don’t do it….when the couple finally gets together is when the show jumps the shark.
“Jumps the shark,” You mean like the Office? Man.. that show hasn’t been interesting in YEARS!Don’t sweat it though, I understand the strength of a good drama/writing. I’ve laid out a good portion of the sexual tension in the story, so my story aint jumpin’ any sharks soon… well it might actually have a shark.. and people jumping into it’s mouth, but that will only be in one strip ^_~
I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU ALL THEY WOULD END TOGETHER!!!i did, didnt i?
uh, was Joseph asking Candance if she wanted to make something out of being a stalker or if she wanted to make out? or both?
Neither, there was a bit of subtext going on, sort of a cruel flirting/exploration of feelings… but what you just witnessed was a slight moment in time when the two of them realized that they may have similar feelings for each other. Nothing actually happened though, partly because neither knew how to react to it and largely because Rudy has a big mouth… with ugly teeth.
Joseph still having bits of poop in his hair probably didn’t help much either.
LMAO! Seriously, I definitely wouldn’t kiss anyone with poo-hair!
yeah, it didnt happend yet, but it is clear sooner or later theyre gonna be a couple, maybe when Joseph wash his hairbtw,dude, i need to learn how to make smiles and text formatation..
Just type : + D or : + P to get them :D (just make sure to put then next to each other.. or they will break and not make a smiley.)
Just started reading these today, i read the whole series up to here. xDExpect common drop ins from me.anyways. i can totally relate to Joey, ive been in this situation atleast 4 times XD(i wonder if my gravatar thing worked. idk how to use it. -_-)
Awesome! Glad to have ya come by and comment! And for your sake, I hope you’re referring to the awkward, almost kiss, moments…not the have poop in your hair and turn girls off moments? :PAlso, Your Gravatar worked :] Sometimes the Gravatar service is just a little bit slow is all. Anyway, thanks for the comment, it’s aways good to hear from readers, I hope to see you around more. :D
Never has a man been so close to getting the girl while having fecal matter in his hair.
Never! And never will a man be so close again!
If i read into that at all, then one of four things are possible.1. They will not be love interests (I hope not) 2. You will soon kill one of them off (you better not)3. It was a figure of speech (most likely choice)4. HE’S FINALLY GETTING A BATH.
Oh noes… maybe i should be more careful bout what I say, so you don’t read between the lines! lolI think 3-4, at current, are your safest bets to believe. But 2 is possible… I may just out of the blue wack all the characters with a single nuclear bomb…or have some random shadow guy steal mont… i mean Rudy, and kill Joseph! OR just pretend my whole comic was on purpose but end up summing the whole creation up to this single though: They’re all dead, this is Purgatory. Cos I’m a terrible writer….no wait that was a television show i wasted my life on. ^_~
I just realized.. that almost sounds like I was slamming on Nerf This. Actually, the shadow guy section of that comic has been absolutely fantastic! That part has been the best part of the whole comic yet. I was more saying that if I had no plan.. i may as well steal concepts from other peoples work. I hope that didn’t like an insult to Scott! Oppppsss… (the last portion was actually a slam though… arg that show pissed me off so much)
Smooth recover ;-) Also if you want a good movie about purgatory to get the bitter taste of nostalgia form your mouth and redeem the subject matter in your eyes, try Wristcutters: a Love Story. Very good.
Interesting, never heard of it. I’m assuming it is an independent film?
It was a independent film that was at sundance. If you like a good dark comedy then you should enjoy it.
Sundance + Dark Comedy; sounds like a perfect formula for my taste! I’ll have to see if it’s on Netflix then and put it on my queue!
NETFLIX!!! Got to love it. :-D
Hells yes! Thanks to it, I’ve been able to watch a HUGE archive of animes and TV shows thru instant stream. Netflix is like a GOD SEND!
he just had to kill the mood with an incredious comment
(i dont know if the following comment will make sense for you… but)murphy’s law, he could have mentioned something creepy, like hentai or something disgusting as hell (the state of Joseph’s hair?)
Naw dawg yous lost me there, mang.
so you ppl on the upper america on the map dont know about murphy’s law?i thought you would cuz it sounds like an american’s name…murphy’s law says that nothing is so bad that it cant be worse
oh yea i know it, anything bad that can happen, will happen
OOOHH right… sometimes I shouldn’t reply when I am tired. SOME REASON I was thinking you meant Newton’s Law; THAT made no sense. lolMurphy’s Law, PSH more like Murphy’s LAWLS! XD
You even make jokes like I do, I’ve been making terrible puns since I was about 5 years old.
It’s funny I didn’t actually realize I made as many puns as I do.. until I started this comic and people started pointing it out to me. lol Good to know I’m not the only “Punner” out there. :D
But of course. :D
Why do these two characters remind me so much of Fry and Lela from Futurama?…I think i’m watching to show too much lol.
the show too much* :(
Apparently you are! At least that is a GREAT show! :]
“Creepasaurus Rex” sounds like the title of what could be a truly awesome webcomic series. The possibilities are endless!Congrats on all of the APE mentions! I think I got listed as the cartoonist: “Most Likely to Wind Up in the Detox Ward”.
An awesome webcomic… or a really random band name!Lol, did you really? I’d like to see the link for that! I hope yo faired well at APE?
