Ah, male bonding. The movies may try to convince us that we're all "new men" now, happy to give each other big hugs amid much public blubbing, but don't believe it. In the UK at least, true acceptance is marked by far less demonstrative (and much more awkward) signs!

Fortunately, while Ryan and Doug are having another one of their heart-to-hearts, Boo and Arturos are out there giving us something to smile about. At least I hope that last panel makes you smile. It does me and I wrote it!

Don't forget, you can leave a comment (or ask a question) in the Shades forum!
