This is part 2 of queer furry comics tour.
(Other parts of queer furry comics tour listed at
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3466 )
(I was hoping I could do one of these a week, but no such luck)
Webcomic title:
The End of Things Written/drawn by Christopher S. Nititham.
Info about webcomic at
http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/The_End_of_ThingsNOTE #1 : The artwork starts off rough and slowly improves with each page.NOTE #2 : Majority of the storylines are untitled, so I came up with my own titles for some of the storylines. Official storylines are the ones in smart quotes.
My introduction to The End of Things was when it was included in the 2007 Free Comic Book Day publication
COMICGENESIS 2007—FCBD EDITION 
(cover image should display. Slightly larger version at
http://www.greenbrain.biz/ComicGenesis.com_WEB.jpg )
After reading the sample in the FCBD comic, I read/devoured the entire online archive in a short period of time (a few hours if I recall correctly)
and from that first reading I figured that the main character (Evan) was asexual (with a small possibility of him being gay).
I've reread/re-read the online archive and now think Evan is more likely gay than asexual.
Below is a list of
*a* where some story-sequences begin and
*b* pages with LGBT content (or the probably of someone being LGBT) in the order they were uploaded.
I suggest reading all the webcomic. Evan is in majority of the pages (he's the only LGBT-ish character as far as I can tell)
But if you're pressed for time ..
*A* look at
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20040614.html (Evan painting, page 1 of 1) (In my opinion, that's not just a banana.)
*B* try some of the links below

Going-to-a-bar storyline
Pages
6 and
13 are more LGBT (or LGBT-ish) then others.

In this page, what Evan says makes him sound like he's currently asexual.

Going-to-a-bar storyline , page 13
Ryan: "So, you've never a crush on anyone? Ever?
Evan: "Well, not exactly. Y'see, there was this one time..."
Evan is interrupted before before he can give any details
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20040524.htmlLGBT-rating: ? (Evan)
Keep those words from page 13 in mind, is a piece of the puzzle that is Evan (Did Evan have a crush on
Cynthia? On
Ted?)

“The Soap Incident” storyline
Not LGBT, but has a nice ending on page 22 and 23
(Looks like this is the first TEoT storyline with an official storyline title)

http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20040913.htmlLGBT-rating: just the word “switch-hitter”

“The “Ass” in Assassin” storyline

Ryan: “How can people use that sanctity of marriage nonsense on gay marriage, yet let this junk get on TV?”
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20040915.htmlLGBT-rating: “gay marriage”
page 2
Evan: “I propose that we do something totally wicked and utterly hedonistic!”
(Result: not hedonistic .. in my opinion.)

Ted phones Evan. I think this is the first appearance of Ted.

Severed Ties storyline.(the pages are unnumbered, but I'm pretty sure I got the page numbers right)
Severed Ties storyline begins
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20060103.htmlSevered Ties, page 3
Maynard tells Evan that Evan was did a jig (the dance-type of jig) while they waited for a table.
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20060110.htmlLGBT-rating: Evan apparently danced
(I like to see dancing.)
Severed Ties, page 10
Evans wrists seem to get .. limp wristed (One wrist in panel 5, then the other in panel 6)
(you go girl!)
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20060228.htmlSevered Ties, page 24
Anthropomorphic fox with collar.
In my opinion, collars on humans (and humanoids) have kink/BDSM vibe with them.
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20060620.htmlLGBT-rating: ? (guy with collar and Evan.)
Severed Ties, page 35
Ted: “Ooo, do I detect trouble in paradise?”
Evan: “What!? Stop making shit up!”
(In my opinion, “trouble in paradise” can allude to romance in trouble)
Is Ted onto something? I'm not sure.
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20060822.htmlLGBT-rating: implied + ?(Evan)
Severed Ties, page 36
“One day, some girl will have you by the balls, and you will love it.”
“Not Bloody likely!”
“Okay, then some guy will.”

Severed Ties, page 38
Evan says things got awkward between him and
Cynthia Graves? (fellow student)
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20060901.htmlLGBT-rating: ? (depends on why things got awkward)
Severed Ties, page 40
(read page 38 first)
Severed Ties, page 49
One of Evan's wrists looks limp again (in the last panel).
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20061027.htmlSevered Ties, page 53
emotional
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20061114.htmlSevered Ties, pages 57-58 and 61
page 57:
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20061212.htmlRyan is angry about something from earlier in Severed Ties (I'm not going to say what .. too many spoilers already) and does some art therapy. (The emotion and the painting are important to what comes after)
Severed Ties, page 74
Evan: “If I ever got skinny, I'd be freaking hot.”
(Ted didn't know what to say so he says something he admits was dumb.
Ted: “Yeah well, I still won't sleep with you.”
Evan: *sigh*
So, is Evan secretly attracted to Ted? If it is unrequited love, does this explain why Evan now complains about Ted?
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20070511.htmlLATEST page of the webcomic.
Evan (re his asthma): “.. People like me must've died horrible deaths at a young age during the medieval period.”
Ted: “.. And if you weren't dead, you'd need some sort of trophy wife to distract people from your homosexual tendencies.” (I assume Evan's breathing difficulty is asthma)
http://endofthings.comicgen.com/d/20070807.htmlALSO: Two pages of The End of Things appeared in Heroes of the Sampler.
I'm 99% sure those two comic pages don't appear in the The End of Things archive at comicgen.com,
and are only available by downloading the the Sampler (official version is FREE and in PDF format)
