Webcomic Spotlight: Shortpacked
You may have heard of Shortpacked already, as it's actually pretty well known. The comic stars the employees of a toy store and generally focuses on collectables as a large source of humor, often Transformers, specifically. If you haven't been reading it however, it also features a main character who is gay, and had a coming out of sorts during the series. The current storyline looks to be headed in the direction of his going out on a date with another gay nerd.

Not to be a nit-picker, but Ethan and Thad are geeks, not nerds. Nerds are those who excel academically, while geeks are those with a sizable knowledge of a particular subject. You can be a geek about anything, really. For instance, there are Star Wars geeks, who remember infinitesimal details of a particular jedi they liked. This is where the phrase "geeking out" comes from, which is a situation in which a geek goes on and on about their particular geek subject, thereby proving themselves to be geeks. I guess you could say Nerds are just Geeks about school, lol.
It's 2AM, and I just finished reading all of the ShortPacked! strips.
Are you happy now?
