He’s got a type

Sorry the updates have been kind of erratic lately, I’m in the process of redecorating my house and with how thin I’ve been spread between work and the gym and a couple zine projects I’ve been working on all that already, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to keep all these plates spinning.
I honestly expected you to just take one week off and post this on Monday. It’s important to have time for yourself.
That said, I honestly appreciate the effort you put out to provide us with manly entertainment. Thank you
Hey, any Manly Guys is better than no Manly Guys!
I just wish that “Eat, pray love” had caught on as an alternative to “Marry, F, kill”. I.E.: Eating Deadpool is right out cause you’d never be finished, so the question is if you’re rather going to choke down Cable’s robot arm or a potentially steel-form Colossus; I feel Peter is the safer bet. Worshipping Deadpool is also right out because you know he would like that way too much, so love it is. He’s easier to love than Cable, certainly. And at the same time Cable is the one who’d care the least about being worshipped, so it works out okay in all aspects.
Interestingly enough in one story at least cable more or less created a utopia and was worshiped if I recall
Yeah free quality comics is something I can wait for as long as necessary.
Well, if you made a rule that you only had to eat each body part once, you could possibly get Deadpool himself to help you. Is there any comic evidence of a willingness to eat himself?
I can’t find anything. I found where Wolverine did it to survive and a different instance where Wade kept Angel alive by feeding him DP’s flesh, but no autocannibalism interestingly enough. I love Deadpool so much lol
The internet…where people debate if it is easier to eat a constantly regenerating man or a man made out of metal…..
I think eating yourself would have diminishing returns… much like drinking urine to survive. Besides, body fat exists for a reason. It’s the body’s method of storing extra calories for later so if you’re at the point where most of your body fat is gone then you’re in dire need of your bone marrow for sustenance so I’m really hoping Wolverine didn’t have the adamantium at the time. XD
Jamie Maddox, Earth X timeline are a duplicate to survive and became Wendigo
Alternatively, you manage to eat all of Deadpool before he regenerates to any significant degree, but then he bursts out of you… That’s one hell of a stomach ache.
Yep, now I can’t stop thinking about the Alien chestburster scene, but with Deadpool exploding out.
“Eating Deadpool is right out cause you’d never be finished…”
At least you’d never have to wonder where your next meal was coming from. You’d be set for life…Or for as long as you could keep him from contained from escaping anyway.
No need to burn yourself out! You need to be sure you get enough time to at least breathe.
CB is so gosh darned adorable. And the way Jones is so cool about him being, well, him makes me love the pair all the more.
Being what, bi? It’s been known for a good while. Heck, this isn’t even the first time Jones has asked about what guys he’s in to.
And it’s clear he’s fine with the whole ‘metal bits’ thing; he was an item with that one cyborg soldier.
“As close as you can get to to dating a project car” was the joke, I believe.
Don’t kinkshame Jones.
After hearing the explanation, I find that entirely reasonable.
The Commander may look like a hunk of beef forged into an action figure, but he’s a thoughtful man.
Jonesy doesn’t think it’s weird… she’s thinking about getting a haircut is all
She would probably look good in a undercut. Then again the ordinary girl with a vanilla haircut look works well for her.
Hmm, but what metal parts to go for…
Well I guess Rock like people with metal abs.
By “undercut” do we mean flattop? Because I thought an undercut was when you had long hair but it was shaved underneath, that’s clearly not what Tank, Colossus, or Cable’s hair looks like.
I was just thinking that this could be a costume idea and a treat for the Commander later. But then I realized that just because these are a thing for him in guys, that does not mean they have the same effect when he’s looking at a woman with them.
What, no fan service here? Like Jones cosplaying Cable would be a bad idea!
Agreed – I think Jonesy is just taking note of what flips his switch!
This is actually entirely reasonable. I’m actually suprised collosus himself hasn’t shown up before. Commander could use him as an example to help the other manly guys see how they should be acting.
Well, there’s more comedy in the others.
I’d say he wouldn’t be an example, he’d be part of the staff. Big, manly, durable, and very stable. Just what the company needs in an employee for the job.
And anyone else see Commander setting Colossus up on a date with Tank? Be good for Tank, I think.
You know I think Rock wouldn’t go for that – don’t set ppl up with ppl for them to fix. The ‘he’d be good for tank!’ thing was exactly tank and rocks underlying deal. ‘project cars’ etc. And that went SO WELL.
The problem with “Good for Tank” is that it probably isn’t good for Colossus. Colossus has a fairly tender heart underneath all that steel. I wouldn’t want to set him up with someone who’d hurt him with macho BS whenever he feels insecure.
Actually, I don’t think Colossus would be there at all. The agency is specifically for hyper-masculine muscle jockeys who have trouble integrating into society after they retire from whatever violent career they had before, giving them a job and life experience on how to be more socially typical. Colossus is too stable and straight-laced to ever need to join.
Oh yeah… the agency has a purpose…
Collosus has got plenty of comedy. He’s a great straight man. Prpblem is, this comic already has one of those.
Several actually. We have Kratos and Gannon that both have been great straight men at times, with G being a regular one while Kratos floats between straight man and just pure comic relief. Also Sten has been a good straight man several times.
It’s Ganon. With one N. Also it’s not Ganon. It’s Ganondorf.
It’s Problem, with an O. Also, ‘got’ is grammatically unnecessary.
I’m imagining Colossus running an anger management seminar for the -really- unstable anti-heroes. They’re constantly flipping their shit and breaking their wrists trying to punch him, and Colossus is just an endless wellspring of patience.
Perfection. XD
Remember that time the Marauders went around killing all the Morlocks and massively wounding several X-men and Colossus walked up and snapped the necks of as many of them as he could?
Heck, maybe he and the Commander met each other at conventions for people in that field!
Colossus: Stop using me as example.
CB: Stop BEING an example.
This will never stop being a classic. When I think MGDMT I think this strip.
Well, that and Kratos as a tv salesman.
If Colossus shows up, I legit just want him just, like, watching Rock’s kids for the evening or something as a babysitter. Then we get something like,
C: “Why not one of the guys you work with?”
CB: “Have you SEEN some of the guys I work with?”
C: “…Yeah, better just leave the little ones here, then…”
Honestly, The Commander’s reasoning makes ME want to marry Colossus.
commander in the last panel is me defending every single movie crush ive had in the last 7 years
I wish I could say that. ‘Nope, you’re right. Weird as shit.’ just feels a bit defeatist. >_>
The F/M/K game is a little played out.
I much prefer the “Turkish Game”
Who would you like to visit a Turkish Bath with?
Who do you want to have your back in a Turkish Prison?
Who do you want to sit and watch Turkish Star Wars with?
he’s from the future, i bet there are a lot of people with metal body parts in the future
Well Jones, I would rather say it means that Rock prefers chromium muscle and manly cyborgs over walking cancer. Not weird at all.
Also: deadpool can be kind of a jerk sometimes.
Deadpool showed up in the barbecue comic, didn’t he? Is anybody else wondering what talking to a fourth-wall-breaking madman in an indiscriminate crossover fan-comic would be like? Oh my heavens, WHAT IF HE GOT AHOLD OF A POKEMON.
(Dearest author: I hope everything goes well with these projects! I know that there’s not a lot that we, your loving fans, can do to help aside from shout affection in your general direction and if possible donate, but I hope you stay healthy and whatnot. <3)
I’m so happy i finally have a good reason to link this. https://youtu.be/XGzcVtWzLGY?t=844 (Not that I don’t link it without one.)
Eh, he’d just get stuck in Mr Fish for a while, no big deal.
As a Cable-fanboy I have to add that the whole “brooding grumps” was softened a bit when he had to raise Hope.
The biggest problem with Cable and relationships is getting to know the rest of the family. You need 5 days just explaining who his parents were.
Marry them all, it’s the only way.
If you’re gonna marry Colossus, it’d better be an open marriage. Dude is waaaaaay too vanilla for anything long term.
hey, sometime th’ most Vanilla looking peoples are…well not so Vanillla when it come to this.
Thank you so much for putting out the extra effort to make these awesome comics for us when you’re so busy with the rest of your life. I hope that the genuine gratitude from those of us who love Manly Guys whenever we get it and regardless of type manages to offset the entitled whining from people who complain if it’s late or not in color or whatever.
Same logic I used when I pondered the question before reading beyond panel 2.
Coel’s description of how busy she’d been has me seeing one of those plate-spinning sideshows complete with Sabre Dance playing. Don’t push yourself too hard, Coel! Rest is important, too!
I mean, I’m pretty sure he’s like 40% metal himself.
…Funny enough, I think Deadpool would give the same answer, CB.
“Undercuts and metal body parts really do it for you.”
Fuckin’ LOL, I love it.
I still say tank needs a robot ferret to protect his neck wires, or a cyberdog from Fallout to be his buddy
Yay! Update! How I missed them…
That being said, I’m glad you’re taking care of your health and your job before the webcomic. Those are for sure higher priorities. Commander would approve.
And then a time-traveling Jones with a metal arm and an undercut shows up.
I’m sure she could be sexy as a space future cyborg but I prefer her in the role of the relatively normal person among all the weirdoes in this comic.
Well, the point is that whatever bvad future came up that cyborg Jones came from needs to be erased so that Jones can be normal in the future.
So we would have both regular Jones and spacefuture Cyborg Jones. I’m okay with this.
It’s kind of surprising how suicidal time travelers from bad futures are. I want to see something like Back to the Future when the time traveler needs to undefeat the villain before he fades from existence.
They find out the future is even worse without everyone banding together in face of the oncoming threat and have to ensure the villain’s rise to power…
5 bucks says sometime in the future, Jonesy’s going to get an undercut and wear that suit of armor from the survival game just for Rock.
Killing Deadpool is like kissing the Blarney Stone. Every damned tourist that comes to town does it and it gets annoying.
This makes an insane amount of sense
Movie Colossus or comic Colossus?
‘Cause movie Colossus is kind of a goodie two shoes dork. Comic Colossus can go die in a ditch.
“Undercuts and metal body parts”? No wonder he and Tank get along so well.
Man, I had such the hots for Colossus as a pre-teen! Then he went and broke Kitty’s heart by falling for someone else during that whole Secret Wars b.s. and that was that. I’d have to marry Cable – but I like ’em Broody. I was a Fenris romancer in DA2.
I could definitely see Jonesy takin’ notes here and showing up with a great undercut…
Oh, is that what happened? I was never sure why they broke up. I only read the comics sporadically and missed that part. Kind of shocked Colossus was the one to end it since Kitty was the more spontaneous one (and I have a feeling Colossus might regret it a little bit but I’m just assuming things.)
Yeah, Marvel had to put the breaks on them at one point because she was 14 and he was like 18 or 19. So they threw in some doubts when Kitty and Cypher started buddying up, and then he met some healer girl with a similar background to him so they had more in common (he was a Russian farm boy) while away. Like calls to like and all that. Colossus is very traditional and conservative at heart. He’s a good guy, but like someone above mentioned, very vanilla. They’ve been off and on forever ever since.
Well, Kitty’s married to Star Lord now, so I’m pretty sure that’s a long term “off”.
Nooooope.

I want to be as committed to my goals as you are! It’s not easy to have high standards and stay on track.
Good luck on the remodel. Free cartoons can wait a little, no matter how much I love them.
i know it’s not likely, but I kinda want to see an All Might (my hero academia) cameo here, along with asure from asura’s wrath. I just think that they’d really get along with commander.
I keep seeing this “love has no lables” ad on here with two small children on it. I think it might be a paedophilia ad and you might wanna get rid of it.
I thought the same but apparently it’s trying to say “these two kids are different races and that’s ok”, but really picking older models would have helped. It directs you to a site for accepting all kinds of love.
As long as it’s not paedopbiles trying to portray themselves as good diversity.
This brings entirely new context to that strip where Cable lost his car keys. I hope they made their dinner reservation in time.
My question is this: How can a pair of time travelers ever be late for anything?
I have a really weird feeling that Deadpool would approve of this reasoning.
Not that surprising. Deadpool is a killer for hire but I don’t think he’d want Colossus dead and I suspect he’d want to see his lady Death again anyway (if we’re talking about the comics. In the movie, he’d just agree with the logic of it all.)
One of the many ironies regarding Deadpool is that as crazy as he is…when you look at his reasoning for things…it actually makes logical sense. Maybe not how he goes about it, or his rambling chattering. But the go here, do this, etc. He does follow logic while still being crazy. Which is what makes him so damn amusing.
“I just want a shiny booty that don’t quit, and that I can stick refrigerator magnets to if the mood so strikes me. Is that so much to ask?”
One love the reference to DP, but B, I love how all your fans essentially care for your well being and like to know you’re taking care of yourself rather than pushing to get comic after comic. But do take care of yourself.
I like the way he skirt around the kill issue by picking immortals XD
If he DID manage to kill Deadpool for reals, he (Deadpool) would probably actually appreciate it.
Completely unrelated, but someone needs to make a “who says fuck” chart for this series.
…It sounds like Commander’s given this quite a lot of thought already.
I want to complement you on how you have consistently portrayed the Commander as a genuinely good person.
Consider how he handles this instance of “Marry/Screw/Kill”, versus how I usually handle it. My tendency is to “Kill” whoever I like least, with no other factors considered. But Rock is not me. Who did he choose to kill? The person most able to recover from being killed! Even when playing silly games, he takes other people’s concerns into account. It’s just the way he thinks.
Thank you for creating a character who, even while being entirely fictional and occasionally outlandish, can still be a role model for all of us in the real world. I may never be able to punch space Nazis, but I can still try to be as consistently compassionate as the Commander.
I am in love with the Commander. That is all.
Hahaha, he sure has a type, doesn’t he?
So hows Platinum Black coming along?
honestly, same
