aaaAAAAAA I DID IT AGAIN! I was almost done, and then I spent too long trying to beef up the train background that I ended up working well into the night 💀 but it's finally DONE, so I hope you're prepared for another of our Loops Afterhours special: the "Random Middle-of-the-night Update"!
MORE IMPORTANTLY, I gotta get your opinions on this one - I wanted the joke to be "man can't stop himself from following directions literally", and then I added in a line in the last panel where he wonders if he may actually have autism ("taking expressions literally" is one of the defining traits). However, I hope this doesn't seem like I'm making fun of autism, because that's definitely not the intention!
I wrote him to be this hapless, misunderstood guy who fumbles through a series of poorly-worded social interactions, and figured "Hey, this is a pretty common experience for people with autism - maybe he should mention that", but I still wanted to ask you guys if it feels OK. I don't want to accidentally offend, so if you think it comes off as a negative thing, let me know and I'll see about maybe changing the dialogue in the final panel. I could just be overthinking things, but I'd rather get a second opinion - I want to make funny(sexy?) comics that make all my readers smile, and that includes my readers with autism :)

Anyway, it is LATE as hell (again!), so I'll leave this up overnight and check in with you guys in the morning before I get started on the bonus panel (I've got a good sketch whipped up - it involves a hentai trope I've been meaning to draw for awhile), so for now, good night everyone! I hope you're having a nice weekend!

EDIT - Bonus Panel Complete: "Fuck me yourself, you COWARD!"
So apparently, this is a hentai trope I've been seeing floating around Twitter called "Dildo Reveal"Â lol I thought it looked pretty fun to try drawing :)
Also, I've included the substitute punchline for the comic at the end there, and I'll probably be using that one off-site. I really tried to write the comic in a silly harmless way, but I know some people might try to raise a fuss about autism even being mentioned at all, and I don't want to cause any drama :( In any case, I'll still leave both versions up here on Patreon - I appreciate all the positive feedback, but the internet can be a pretty reactionary place, so it's probably better to just play it safe.
