HOWEVER, when I first read it, I thought it was more along the lines of "Now that I have breasts, that doesn't mean you could milk me." Go ahead, read it again, and see if you can't see that as a possible meaning. So I thought someone was going to bring up the hint of pedophilia that sometimes appears (inadvertently) in Randall's comics. But I guess it's just me. Although if you assume they are BOTH adolescents, the comic as a whole is a lot less creepy because I'm willing to forgive a lot of weird thoughts in adolescent boys (for the record, I never was one so this is not based on personal experience).<br /><br />Captcha: "roide" I've heard those can be painful.LostInSpacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-78413317095760000042011-02-09T17:47:17.030-08:002011-02-09T17:47:17.030-08:00I think this is the beginning of a new era of xkcd...I think this is the beginning of a new era of xkcd.
