Well, you know how the saying goes…”God closes a door, and opens a window”. Get in there Mark! Only downside is having Mike and an in-law, also I dunno if Michelle would be the most…appropriate person to be a future mother, but hey, those are future Mark’s problems. Have some fun (and cause some wacky situations) for now.
Thank you for your decades of wonderful (and always improving) work. It really is genuinely and sincerely appreciated.
I hope You and Everyone reading this excellent comic, and everyone’s loved ones (and all their loved ones) have a fun, happy, healthy, and safe 2025! Wishing Everyone nothing but the best!
P.S. Sorry for vanishing from discord/not commenting on comics for a long time, had a lot of stuff come up, but I am doing much better now, I feel like I’m mentally and physically a teenager again! Haven’t felt this good in 25-30 years! 🙂
“…and that’s story of how you were born”
Perfect, as always
It seems that, much like Mark’s Penis, the plot is about to thicken.
Now she will be doing this for masturbatory material (hands-on helps the imagination later!) at every given opportunity!
“a a sexual act”
Looks like she was already distracted before the first panel was even done.
Also, new Sexy Losers in big 25, whodathunk.
Dread it, run from it, Sexy Losers “Arrives😏” all the same.
I’d say it “comes”
I want you to know that in these very unhappy times it makes me very happy when email from you shows up in my inbox.
No way… This is still Sexy *Losers*, right? No way Mark’s gonna get lucky, no without his due coming right after.
he will get it on with Michelle, only for it to blow (pun noted) and Anne to somehow retun with him, just to restore the status quo. Because this is Sexy Losers where the only stated law is “nobody ever lets go of their kink” and Anne’s kink is TRYING to get Mark to act normally despite being surrounded by Mike’s lunacy.
And the dreaded, dead “writing form” known as cursive strikes again. I’m glad to get a new page but I’d like to at least know what she’s saying. Can we get a translation?
How did someone do young stumble on an almost 30 year old webcomic lmao? I sympathize with you in a way, since my old ass agrees cursive is obsolete (coincidentally enough I had an argument/discussion with someone earlier today who was bemoaning that nobody knows cursive anymore, while I repeatedly stated it is obsolete.), but I think the demo for this webcomic is probably of the age that they learned cursive in school (probably the last generation to do so!).
Think of it as a puzzle, look up the cursive forms of each letter in the alphabet and match them to the letters in the comic and write out the message, it might be fun! 🙂
Best regards!
Young? I’m 35 years old. I grew up with this comic and others like Jack and Exterminatus Now back when i was a kid. What gives you the impression that I’m young?
Also, I’m not going to translate cursive like it’s a cypher. I’ve got better, more productive things to do with my time.
I thought you said “Exploitation Now” for a second, and was gonna say, Goddamn, that takes me back. I assumed (and still kinda assume?) you’re young because you are of a comparable age to myself (I’m only a couple years older) and I had to learn to read and write cursive in school. So as someone of a comparable age, you should have no issue reading cursive. Maybe you aren’t American (though with the furry-ish name and avatar, I would assume so, or if at most, European of some flavor), but I would assume other countries (at least those whose alphabets are based on the Phoenician-descended alphabets such as Latin) have a form of cursive.
If you do not have time to translate (to accomplish more “productive” tasks), why do you assume others have the “non-productive” time to play transcriber?

I live in america but my schools didn’t teach cursive. Perhaps you aren’t the only one who believes cursive is outdated?
As for people and their time? There are people who literally spend days 100% yakuza games (like that fucking dragon style in yakuza 0). Everyone is different. Although i more meant for my comment to be directed at the comic writer than another passing user.
I gotta be honest, your school admins (or whoever came up with the curriculum) did you dirty. Honestly I’m surprised your parents (who I assume are boomers considering your age) didn’t force you to learn it at home when it wasn’t taught to you in school (they kinda did you dirty too if I’m being honest). Cause while I agree cursive is a dying art and obsolete, our generation is really the last one who could gain any value from it. Specifically since our immediate generation before us (Clay’s generation, Gen X), our parents’ generation (Boomers), and our grandparents’ generations (Greatest and Silent) were taught to read and write cursive (and penmanship) in school, and a large majority of our generation had the same experience.
Just like with rotary and touch-tone phones, while cursive is dying out, it does give you a shared frame of reference with those generations, and when they use cursive (in a situation such as this), you would’ve had that frame of reference. And honestly, it’s not cursive itself that is difficult to parse, it’s the penmanship abilities of the person writing the cursive that adds to the difficulty (I must admit, my cursive penmanship is dogshit.)
It does leave me to wonder though, what do you do for physical forms (such as official government documents and cheques and even credit cards) and digital forms (I know there are some forms that will auto-generate a signature for you, but I know that is not the case on Point-Of-Sale systems (i.e. credit card readers)) that require a signature? Do you just print?
The dragon style was utterly insane, iirc it went up to 999, and each level was so fucking slow to fill. I think I only filled like 5 levels on the ps4, but cheatengine’d it on the pc.
Dunno if Clay’ll transcribe it for ya, maybe in a decade or two when he does commentary on this current batch of comics. Cause he is of the generation where nearly everyone was taught cursive (and I gotta admit, his penmanship is pretty good, definitely superior to my chicken scratch!), so he would (rightly) assume most of his demo (fellow olds) know cursive as well. Though, as you are an example of, they’ll always be outliers….

I use cursive in most of my comics, for example when Miss Society (depression comix) or Lily (the Dead Sisters) speak, I use cursive. In the Dead Sisters especially I play with how I write each character’s speech that I never really thought about how divisive it would be with this comic. But if people are going to complain, yeah, it would be with this comic.
Lmao, well I guess it’s appropriate the outliers would be fans of a very niche/outlier comic. It’s very on brand lmao.
Also Clay, I’m trying to buy the stuff @ the claycomix store (so you get the biggest piece of the pie instead of kof-fi and gumroad) but when I click add to cart it literally does nothing. I’ve tried on multiple browsers and no dice. Any help? Once again, hope you and all your loved ones (and all their loved ones) have a fun, happy, healthy, and safe 2025. Wishing ya nothing but the best! 🙂

Ooops, I removed the Shopping Cart widget from the sidebar by accident at some point. It should be there now. Please let me know if it causes you any more problems!
Was able to order all your products without issues. Thanks again, have a great one!
Thank you for your support! I hope you enjoy the comics!
I’m sure I will, haven’t read anything by you in 25+ years that I haven’t enjoyed. I’m just glad I was able to give back in some minor and small way for all the enjoyment you’ve provided over the years. And I want to thank you for all the entertainment over that long timespan. It’s been enjoyable having this as a constant in my life. All the best! As long as I’m still living I’ll still keep reading what you produce! 🙂
For someone who says cursive is obsolete you sure seem to be defending it a lot. Cursive was a dying “art” back in the 90s and it’s piratically forgotten now. My mother never taught me cursive because she was too busy trying to feed us.
And yes, i print. And to be honest even my print is getting worse because physically written things are so pointless now in this digital age, it’s never required. Chipped credit cards, officiated signature PNGs, auto payment services like PayPal. Humanity has largely taken to digital life fairly well and left archaic things behind.
I really do not mean it as a defense, I just genuinely feel bad that you missed out on a frame/point of shared reference that most of your age cohort has experienced. It’s kinda like how I would feel bad if someone of our generation reacted with confusion to something like a vhs rewinder or a typewriter (at least I and my cohorts had to use typewriters before graduating to computers, fixing mistakes sucked!!!!) or to goatse or tubgirl or something else that was very much of our era, that is long gone.
My penmanship with both cursive and print is terrible, but I try to keep my skills up by writing and drawing stuff in birthday and holiday cards for my friends and family. They seem to appreciate the personalized messages.
Yep, there is a push to automate everything now (but not pacify the hoi polloi, which is gonna lead to tons of “fun”, lmao).
While I grew up with the internet and love it, it’s very clear, with society’s ubiquitous and rapidly increasing cases of alienation, depression, and ever increasing rates of suicide, humanity’s psyche really isn’t taking this digital stuff all that well. But, “what is to be done?”…maybe taking up the cithara and playing as an accoutrement to the conflagration….

I mean, there are far better things to have a shared experience for: Stargate-SG1, Lost in Space, Farscape, Andromeda (can you tell i like sci-fi lol) and thanks to my mother working for sun microsystems i got to grow up with a computer so i got to play Escape from Brain Death, Where in time is Carmen Sandiego, Math Blasters, Warcraft 2: Battle.net Edition, Command and Conquer: Red Alert. There are so many better things to bond over than a barely legible writing style that honestly should have disappeared decades ago.
As for how people are behaving these days, i think that has to due with the pendulum more than digitization. People who lived through oppression now want to “hurt the other side” so we’re seeing a bunch of impulsive, emotional, perpetual victims “get their revenge” on anyone they perceive as their oppressors. Honestly i blame the schools for putting people’s personal feelings on such a high pedestal to the point that people let emotions overrule facts and logic. I also blame gender studies and critical race theory for pushing blatant lies about modern “systemic oppression” turning everyone against each other.
Uh, simply the fact that usually ‘older’ people (which, sad as it makes me to say it, in this context includes millennials) can read cursive because it was taught to them at school? Not that I disagree about cursive being largely pointless.
Writing by hand with either cursive or normal printing is making a decent comeback in university these days.
Too many papers are getting spawned with chatgtp or other AI, so there is a trend where profs are shifting to in class essays done with pen and paper because they can’t trust a classic term paper. I imagine we will get to the point when a student writes a paper in cursive and the prof can’t read it.
(I would have replied to your more relevant comment but it was buried deep enough that the comment programming wouldn’t let me)
I haven’t lived in an English speaking country for the past twenty five years so I had no idea that cursive just wasn’t a thing anymore. It’s sad.. I think it has a certain beauty to it, and it feels more personal than writing in block letters. And in this case it’s part of the joke…. She loses control of her pen while getting turned on and that’s easier to show when using cursive. Ah well!
I’m 37 his year, and while we did learn cursive generally in school it doesn’t mean that _I_ learned it. It was just too hard for me and even today my normal handwriting is terrible. Cursive is just out of the question. Even if I can mostly read it it’s still much harder to both write and read than regular writing and completely unnecessary.
Tens of thousands of years ago, people sitting around the campfire at night bemoaned how the kids these days did not understand pictoglyphs any more. Don’t even get me started on cuneiform …
Losers.sexy I got
Another wank I forgot
Enjoyed it alot
That’s almost a haiku!
Just a comment for the algorithm
oh… wait…
Then just a comment to say “Thank you Clay” 😉
I guess I’m old; it never occurred to me there were adults who can’t read cursive. (But, yes, I stopped writing in cursive halfway through high school, and nobody complained.) 😁
They need to fuck already. With Mike jerking off while puking in the background… but you’re not going to go there are you? You goddamned tease, you ;-).
Somehow i get the feeling you are going to subvert our expectations this time and just straigt up let Mark and Michelle do it. After all, we allready saw how Kenta didn’t end up banging his mom….3 years ago. Damn, time flies.
