Thanks for your patience! This page was actually really fun and interesting to sketch since it was uncharted territory thus far ^^

(tbh this page scared me to post LOL so thank you in advance for being chill and letting me try different "combos" so to speak. Remember I try to make this comic about 50/50 story/porn)

"The course of true love ne'er did run smooth," but this is ridiculous *Groucho Marx cigar waggle* 😜

Boris

So hot

Datdude1999

Ohhhhh shitttt!!!!! Best Christmas gift to all of us! Merry Christmas jackaloo you magnificent man!

Aaron (BullseyeBronco)

D: I want Coop and Andy... I know their arrangement and all... but idk how to feel about this ;_;

Sid The Ursid

I could smell this coming from a mile away, haha. I feel like this is gonna be a pretty polarizing page, seeing how many people seem to despise River (they really don't deserve it)

OnyxPhamtom

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!!!!!🥵🥵🥵

Fancy

YES FINALLY AGH, what a treat

Zia

Idk how to feel about this. Ngl I did see this coming and I feel like in a way it good for his over all growth and self accepance. Also tho I feel like this is out of retaliation because he felt salty about the text understandably so. I am predicting that after Coop is going to go into emotional panic and do something stupid🤷

AkiDave

Cumin’ around the Christmas tree, Jack gives gifts tonight! 💙

Charmerjoey

I feel bad for Andy, but river and coop have better chemistry so far. So im a bit torn

Jetski

👀👀👀👀 Guess it was bound to happen the sexual tension was THICCCC!

Tuclas

Now kith

Zia

I am the same way too but this is what I am wondering is if that they have more chemistry or is it that river has gotten further in to Coop bypassing his emotional defences while Coop was busy actively try to repel Andy from getting any deeper

Reyn Fyre

What a great page.

Max Freeman

I kind of can see a pattern here with Andy and Emery & Cooper and River

Max Freeman

I can only assume that Andy is doing the same with Emery as we speak, hope they lock the door

Gecko

Damn this is a lot to unpack but I am a River stan so I'm kind of loving this

Alex

There's no way Andy is going to be okay with this. I know they're supposed to be open or whatever but he's not gonna be okay with river since he already felt jealous at the party

Milo Smith

So much sexual tension between these two, but god damn it’s amazing to see 🥵 I just hope our smelly boi doesn’t regret himself after, but since they’re open it was a matter of time! Happy holidays to us seeing this amazing page! And to you Jack, take time for yourself over the crazy times coming!

DC James

Im pretty upset over this one, sigh. Andy went through hell for Coop and now Coop is just...I don't know, He's just in to River in a way that he's been shutting down on Andy. It's not that I don't like River, I just really want Andy to be Coop's first.

RamenNoodleDog

Jeez I didn't realize how much people dislike the River and Coop ship. I think its fine and I figured this was gonna happen. The tension between those two is thicc as hell. Also if Andy can sleep around with Emery, I think that Coop can sleep around with River and whoever else he wants. I'm pretty sure Andy and Coop are endgame so I'm not to worried about this. Let's just enjoy this and see how far this goes. I'm assuming it's only gonna be oral. I'd be very suprised if any anal happens. I'd love to be proven wrong tho 🤭🤭🤭

Xavier Redstag

Things were heating up between Andy and Emery as well. I wonder if we're going to be getting a double sex scene.

Atari Doge

Ngl this is hotter than coop x andy could ever be to me agahdjfkg

Brathor Cyr

Oh boy. The tension here's been building forever so it's exciting to see it finally breaking. Hopefully it doesn't mess up the Andy/Cooper thing before it really starts.

Gayme Guy

Wow I love this sexy version of Cooper! OwO

Laplace

I am loving this! They go so well together. Andy can cry me a River.

RavenDancer

Ah...what better way to get comfertable with his gayness then to kinda explore it. and also...maybe let out some of that anger from the group chat fuck up.

Max Clawson

As we all expected to happen. I see potential since Coops been coming a long way from how he acted towards River and They see that and not a big help Coops a stud. But interested to see how this plays out, hell Andy's had sex with his 'daddy' boss so Coop getting frisky with Riv will be something new to experience

Purlhead

Awwwww yeeeeee, River! Kiss the boi! <3

Sid The Ursid

Nah, this seems... Emotion filled? What Andy and Emery have is a sexual arrangement. This will hurt Andy, but hey, Coop is pretty good at doing that.

Necroxis

Well, Cooper just fucked everything up. The person that Andy is the most jealous of, and that Cooper didn’t even tell he was doing this job with them. Maybe some people like them, but River is easily my least favorite character in the story. They seem to exclusively exist just to cause this drama moment right here. Kind of undid any growth on Cooper’s part for me, ngl.

Max Freeman

How, Emery’s basically his shoulder to cry on and talk about anything and not be ashamed. I’m curious

Necroxis

The key difference is that Andy told Cooper about what he was doing. Their a whole big thing was, let’s just be honest with each other. Not only did Cooper not tell him what his job was, now he’s fooling around with the person that Andy is the most jealous of. Cooper is absolutely 100% in the wrong in the situation.

Greenbeans

They've been pretty instrumental in setting Cooper straight (lol) in terms of confronting his sexuality. River's called Cooper out numerous times on his internalized homophobia and checked him several times about his tough guy front. They have also been very patient (giving Cooper the time of day after being called a slur) and supportive (the book, helping him with the dancing, providing advice, offering to listen to Cooper vent) of Cooper while he figures things out.

GreenDreamer

I think Emery’s gonna be busy entering…data. 😁

Marcwolf

Be interesting to see where this goes. There has obviously been an undercurrent of attraction here between the two of them. It could just let them get it out of their system so the can continue to be friends, or it could lead tto more. But - It had to happen at some time or other. :)

Max Freeman

True, but knowing how much Emery cares for his feelings makes him a better lover. Andy can barely talk to Cooper without being nervous. No shame for the fans though I feel that Andy needed Emery back in his life to to have leveled-mind

Necroxis

Yes, and as I said, they seem to exist only to be this exact character moment for Cooper. Literally exactly the right thing for him, which feels very unrealistic. And, as I said, coming into the plot in this way 2/3 of the way through the story. The way Andy is written also seemingly changes whenever it’s involving River to make them look the best. I guess I just totally disagree about the whole making him more himself when River’s whole thing Cooper likes is their femininity. Especially when this comes off almost as like emotional revenge against Andy by Cooper.

Issac Streyer

It was inevitable but I'm still sad to see it happen.

DJ Wolf

Just be careful coop, but you def need to explore. Just remember there’s consequences good or bad! What I love is Jack really isn’t giving us any real pull in any direction. I love being able to read and not have any expectations of the outcome. Just reading and seeing what will come. Great job.

Marcwolf

Not really - once they both get the initial 'fuck' out of their system they can continue as friends, or it could lead to more. They are both sexual adults in a very sexualised industry. Hormones and tensions are sure to be there.

Necroxis

The only reason Andy can’t speak to Cooper is because Cooper never says anything to him. It’s not like Andy is afraid. He’s trying constantly to. Once again, Cooper is just as lying by omission, and now there’s another lie on top of it.

Nova Wolf

So upset right now.

Howlrunner

My god, River is so hot 🔥 🔥🔥

Necroxis

Yeah, this is just straight up emotional revenge by Cooper due to Andy’s accident. Because this one Cooper knows that Andy is the most jealous of river. And he hasn’t even told Andy what his job is let alone that he’s doing what his job is WITH River.

Sid The Ursid

Emery is more of a father figure. Cooper and River seem to have some genuine romantic connection. I really don't feel like Cooper ever had real feelings for Andy, besides sexual. Sadly, I think Andy knows that, which is why he's so jealous of River. He sees a spark that he hasn't had with Cooper. It sucks, because I think we all want Andy and Cooper to work, but really Cooper has been nothing but harmful towards Andy.

Max Freeman

Cooper's web of lies, will leave Andy heartbroken and wondering if he keeps this up

Max Freeman

I just love that Andy can feel safe around his daddy. Lovers don't have to be the same age

JayJay

Yesssss I have been waiting for so long 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Mothfox

Yeeeeessssssss

Lurkybot3k

Not surprised this is happening right now. There's been sexual tension between these two since Coop's birthday (if not earlier). Coop and Andy also agreed to be able to see other people in an open relationship type status. Heck, they haven't even HAD a date yet. Andy may feel some jealousy depending on how far this goes, but Coop's already been in that boat with Waldren. I have my concerns/thoughts about how this may play out, but I'm in it for the long haul. If anything, the real issue is STILL Coop not telling Andy what his job currently entails. Do your thing, Mr. Aloo! <3

Necroxis

The whole point is Cooper keeping River and his job involving them a secret. Which is something people keep ignoring or trying to distract from by bringing up Waldren, who Cooper was deliberately told by Andy he was doing a FWB thing with. Emotionally he wants to be with Cooper but now Cooper seems emotionally connecting with River. Which, again, is totally fine if Andy had ever been told this at any point.

Necroxis

Cooper knows about Waldren. He had suspicions but Andy deliberately told him. That is not the case with Cooper and River. That's the key difference.

Necroxis

In an earlier scene in the bar from Volume 1 (I think?), it's all but stated by Cooper using the words that he's in love with Andy. But that was also before River showed up in the story being exactly the character specifically created for Cooper, which is why they fall so flat for some of us.

Max Freeman

Between Andy and River, I'll have to give it to River cause saw how hard-headed he could be. Andy thinks that he can reason with him

TegirVaru

wow, the comments are like youtube, remember you really dont have to read them. im neutrally just reading jacks story... and being supportive 😁

Necroxis

If River didn't seem like such a mary sue introduced exactly to cause this drama I think they'd be such a better character. But they're not. And a lot of us got invested in the story about Cooper and Andy and this is just not it. If the next month of posts are just going to be a sex scene with them I'll probably just dip out until later.

Lurkybot3k

Just means Coop has one more thing to tell Andy depending on how this goes.

Vertigo1

And boom goes the dynamite! Finally these two are going to maybe actually do something, and I'm here for it!

Fenris Wolf

Who knows. Maybe Coop opens up and tells Andy after this? Means they have some more to talk about and build up some of those communication skills. Lets see how it plays out!

Fenris Wolf

Heck yeah! Excited to see how this all plays out. How far do they go? Will Cooper tell Andy? Keep up the awesome work Jack!

Cregon

So does this mean that Cooper is polysexual or omnisexual then?

Greenbeans

River first appeared the very beginning of Vol 2/pg 69 and we're 238 pages in, so they've been around since just under the first third of the pages we have so far. They have their own story (which I suspect Jackaloo has wanted to expand upon given the fact that they've seemingly always existed--River's silhouette has been a tier for years, polls where River-centric stories are offered, etc. Despite the fact that, point blank, Jack has had people drop or angrily threaten to drop their subs because they don't like how he's writing his story and probably cost River a lot of their exposition (? I'm sure there's a better term to describe this) in the story, I still feel like they're a pretty well-rounded character). I guess I don't understand what exactly people referring to when they say River is unrealistic. How would you have written River to make them more believable?

TheAngelicBard

This page came out beautifully. I am so thrilled that this page came out like it did. There is just so much that being communicated with body language, and so many thoughts and feelings. Brilliant page I love it.

Greenbeans

"The only reason Andy can’t speak to Cooper is because Cooper never says anything to him. It’s not like Andy is afraid. He’s trying constantly to. Once again, Cooper is just as lying by omission, and now there’s another lie on top of it." So maybe it's not meant to be? I feel like Cooper cares about him as a friend (and as much as Cooper has matured and become a more likeable person over the last chapter, it's still not saying much) and finds him sexually attractive, but that doesn't necessarily make them a healthy fit, romantically. Andy has always been more into Cooper than vice-versa.

TheCopilot

Amazing job illustrating the tension, lovely work.

Blau DoesArt

This is just great in all of the ways.

Necroxis

Okay then you can't see how narratively unsatisfying that is for the audience if 2/3rds through a story it's just, 'Oh the whole build up was just untrue, ectectect?" People can like River all they want but there's this weird idea that people who find them narratively unsatisfying are not allowed to dislike them. Also I don't think your last sentence is true whatsoever, there have been so many hints to the contrary

Jem

YES! FINALLY! I've waited years for River to get it on!

Necroxis

Give River some actual flaws. We have two moments where it seems like somebody should have pointed out that a.) River flatout lied to Cooper's face and told him they didn't tell anyone they overheard him and andy fooling around at the party. Nothing comes of this. And then b.) River just stringing along the son of the store owner for free stuff by doing sexual things with him is played off as like a silly or cute goof when it's pretty gross. And it's not even just that Cooper or whomever else doesn't call them out in the story, it's that the story itself doesn't REALLY frame either of those two things as something bad. It's meant to just be like, "Oh River. hahaha. What a card." But every single thing Andy does seemingly gets scrutinized to the moon and back by both the story and commenters. River seems perfectly written to be exactly the thing for Cooper which feels really unsatisfying from a storytelling standpoint, at least for me. I'm happy other people like them. They're just not why I started following the story, because Andy and Cooper feel like actual people and River's just a plot device.

Luke

Looks like were finally gonna get a full blown out sex scene between these two. The tension between them has been mounting for months now, at least for us readers in current real time lol.

xyull

LIVID

Greenbeans

"Build up was just untrue?" No, I just don't think Jackaloo's writing follows a clean, predictable Disney-like formula where the characters that grew up together are fated to marry and live happily ever after. The complicated, messy characters are what make this comic interesting. I feel like people just want Cooper and Andy to fall in love, link, and be done with it. And they might very well be endgame, but I'm just a little surprised at how adults are reacting to a story that isn't straightforward and boring. People are absolutely allowed to dislike River. I just find it interesting that they seem to be the only character that gets accused of being a 'mary-sue' or poorly-written.

Greenbeans

You missed when River revealed that their motivation to help Cooper wasn't wholly altruistic. Are you saying somebody in the story should have pointed it out (it doesn't seem like much time has passed from those events; there's still plenty of time for things to come back and bite River in the ass) or the audience should have said something? Because between here and FA people have pointed oit their shortcomings out (along with every other character. The criticisms for Andy, I've noticed, get a bizarre response from a handful of people as though everyone is being hateful towards him).

Afadi Chionesu

Can’t fight the urge huh, Cooper? But wow, it appeared that River had some feelings for him.😮 I hope this is a one-time thing and does not get in the way of Coop’s relationship with Andy. 😯 Happy holidays, Jack. 😃🎄

Reptile Cynrik

I have a pretty interesting suggestion for you... regarding an artistic choice. ^_^ You know, the little white reflection (white dot) in the character's eyes looks way more vivid and dynamic if it's not a simple, perfectly round (normal brush) dot. For example, it looks much, much better in panel 4... this is by far the most believable reflection. And yeah... it's a comic but that's no excuse! :-) I figured in my own drawings that they eyes are super important and I just wanted to share my opinion on this reflection detail.

Reptile Cynrik

Oh... I reached the limit of the text, sorry!! XD About the page itself... it's really well designed, composed and could easily be a storyboard for a movie. ^^ Well done!!!

HalFolf

Aaaaaaaaaah, this is precious 🤩🥰

TheAngelicBard

Friend are you in the discord ? your takes and analysis are fire. Hell yes this.

Renchi Space Bunny

Wooo that's the stuff! They finally doing it! Can't wait for the next pages, good work Jack!

Aweztin

River is dumb as hell for this. They know for a fact that he’s clueless about his sexuality but yeah, let’s just accept his advances. It’s not like his overcomplicated past with Andy and Chelsea was a HUGE red flag or anything. They deserve the consequences of this

LordDragon

That's a page turner was not was not expecting that can't wait to see the next page

Rich Chamberlain

Always funny to see all the negativity and near hatred for a Coop & River ship. So hung up on Coop & Andy that nothing will get in the way. Has no one here ever been with someone and you were absolutely convinced this was it, they were the one you wanted to spend your life with. That you'd do anything for them not realizing how bad they are for you, how toxic the relationship was. Only realizing it, maybe many years, down the road. And maybe, just maybe, the right person for you, someone who would have made you extremely happy, was right there all along. Personally I think Coop & River compliment each other better then Coop & Andy do.

Rich Chamberlain

Yeah, a rant but it's amazing how much feeling Jackaloo can provoke, well done. And yes, so speaks a man of experience here.

Jam Briar

This surely will not backfire in any way... nope can't possibly go wrong (internal screaming)

sheppard wolfeyes

Just a kiss so far. See if smarter minds kick in before they go all the way or not.

Bullstorm

aww... I can understand a bit, since Coop and Andy have more like a 'situationship' thing (and Waldren is banging Andy on the side), but still... I wish they would commit to each other OR don't have anything official and be free to explore with others... I personally don't like being in this gray area, but I'm happy you are exploring this situation in a healthy way, I would say! (they AGREED to be in a situationship)... I just hope Andy and Coop don't "want to have the cake and eat it too"... haha

Bullstorm

You really got a good point on this! What prevents me from being upset is that Andy and Coop agreed to be in a 'situationship'... I simp for Andy and Coop, but until they commit officially, they are somewhat free to explore...

Dooglie

Hell no looks like many of us are pretty happy with it, they’re a great pair

Dooglie

Maybe predictability is unsatisfying to some people. It’s so obvious that Andy and cooper were set up to be together, it might be fun if something else completely happens. Any outcome the artist chooses will be good imo.

Dooglie

The burning desire and passion is so evident here. Jack, I really hope you don’t feel threatened to write the story you want. Life is full of twists and turns, and most of the time, childhood love doesn’t work out. People have to understand life isn’t a movie, and unexpected people can turn up and sweep you off your feet! (But as I’ve said, any outcome is great. It’s your freaking story.)

Dooglie

Ps. The fourth panel is actually beautiful. Like… wow. Perfect composition and the earthy yet warm color palate and darkened background really makes it seem like they’re in their own little world.

ChrisTheHylian

Ngl I was expecting this. I’m still a staunch coop x Andy shipper, but if they’re gonna be open for a while, I’ll accept and observe 👀😂

Insomni-act

This might sound a little strange but what if there's a possibility that Coop doesn't actually love Andy that way, or rather never did. What if Coop just liked the thought of Andy because he knew Andy was gay. Like Coop pretty much saw Andy as a way for him to let out that repressed part of him bit by bit and confused himself into thinking it was love. I feel like him being completely unphased that Andy is banging Emery is a hint to that. (I could go a little deeper into this but I feel like that's long enough.) I wouldn't quite say that he loves River yet, but he is so much more open with River and acts so much different with Riv than he does with Andy.

Necroxis

It's because people got invested in the story of these two characters and then the plot device that feels incredibly one dimensional shows up and is just taking over and it feels like the investment in that story is going out the window because people like the jock/femtwink ship. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Necroxis

You seem particularly upset somebody would have an opinion about a subjective story.

Nesheph

Yes this is hot, but No no nooo! 🤦‍♂️

Greenbeans

That’s ironic. And nah. I just had a hunch about your ultimate problem with the character and that comment just confirmed it.

Greenbeans

No, but thank you! I’m sure the conversations are interesting, to say the least.

Raymond

YES YES YES YES

Necroxis

Cool, stay mad about subjective tastes I guess lol. People are allowed to have tastes. And allowed to like and dislike certain characters and ships.

ZR

Cooper described Andy as the only one who made him feel anything. It was never only about sexuality.

Greenbeans

Not mad. Enjoying the comic, actually! Genuinely wishing you peace with whatever specific event in your life has gotten you to this point.
