Position Filled!

Chapter: Comic

I never had anyone tell me that they would fill such a position for me. I’d also be terrified of anything that would, well… almost anything.

Just found your Comic and i love it.

  Awesome! Thanks Mike, I’m really glad you like it
JK

They are the best couple ever…in like a…weird way…
But you make my day with your wonderfulness yet again! I tip my hat to you good sir!

  I’m happy you liked it, thank you
ParisSmiles

good gf. the only girl in the world who could probably handle chase
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  I sometimes try to imagine putting Zoey and Chase together… then my eyes bleed at what might happen.
  - ParisSmiles
    
    that….would be terrifying for everyone.
  - Fromthewoodwork
    
    I’m sure there’d be a few more left turns than usual. (does “usual” even work here? Or did that position get filled as well?) But hey, who DOESN’T like lightsaber battles? … I’ll wait whilst you find the punchline.
  - Angelgex01
    
    I think Zoe is adorable in the puppy with multiple disease set on fire Monty kind of way…. but still Adorable
Andrew

That’s true love right there. When a girl agrees to be the Coque to a guy’s Cox, you know they have something special (What am I even saying?!)

  They’ll tag team any challenge
Chaplain13

this is one of the most beautiful moments i have ever laid eyes on
Marissa.

Taryn’s really the perfect girlfriend.
If my boyfriend asked me to be his Coque I’d reply the same way Tony did.
And I most certainly would not offer.

  Would there be a make-shift mustache involved?

Taryn is officially my hero for life. Awesome work as usual!

This just exemplifies why Nerf This is tied with QC for my favorite web comic. Thank you for bringing such dapper finery to the internets. Keep up the excellent work, Ill be a faithful fan no matter what computer issues or devilish ice storms occur.
- Bormo
  
  I seriously have to second this.
  Wait, I’ll even third it, just to be sure.
  
  Just finished re-reading all of it.
  I love this comic so hard. It just keeps on getting more full of awesome.
  
  Please keep up the excellent work, Scott.
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Oh wow, thanks Matt, I don’t know what to say…
  
  But I do promise the dapper finery will not end, thanks again
SillyPiggy

I have to be honest, when i read the strip today, I squealed like a little school girl.

Well done sir, well done.
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  haha, I’ll take every squeaI can get, thanks Silly

That is all.

    haha… nicely done.
Chad Jones

Have I everr told you that your brilliant? Cause you are. Like, really amazing. And also, I’d like to apply as a sidekick. Like, the one with witty comments who always sees the bright side of a bad situation.
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  haha, as awesome as it would be to have a side kick, you’d see that I’m horridly boring, mainly passing out at my desk and chugging coffee, only taking breaks to run in circles for 5 minutes as exercise (thank you though)
  - http://nerf-this.com/jumping-ship/#comments RWBII
    
    I’ll take the job anyway
  - chad jones
    
    that doesnt bother me in the slightest. I WANT THAT JOB. ill drive the pubemobile. its a long limosine , with accessories.
Shanks

I like the rounded eyes as opposed to the pointed ones on Taryn much better ^__^, thank you
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Me too, I thought it would be better to give you eyes similar to her father from this point on.
  - Shanks
    
    much obliged my dapper sir, i look forward to to the many adventures of cox and coque in the future
Valentine

This comic made me feel warm and fuzzy inside and very sad.
Kudos to you sir, you have done what only the best of writers can,
suspended disbelief while executing a dick joke.
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  haha, it was only a fluke, I assure you all my writing will be terribly sloppy once again after this Thank you, reading that made my day.
nick

The look Taryn gives is one that that probably means that they are about 3 seconds away tackling each other in passionate fury.

On a side note:
Coque-
n. A small loop or bow of ribbon used in making hats, boas, etc.

  Oooohhh, nice… I just learned something awesome today
OutLawRed

its official. i. love. taryn.
i don’t care if chase uses monty as monster-flail of death,

i shall wield my longboard as Finn wields a shark,

and it will be glorious…
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Oh man, I pretend to do the same with my longboard, I have a crazy 82″ one I made last summer.

“Hey you.”

SO CUTE!
the1truesushiboy

She has such a way with words, doesn’t she?
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  She does, her wit can only match her father’s strength
Elder

lol could not stay serious for long
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  It was only a matter of time really.
Super1337ist

This… this is the happiest thing I have seen all day, and I watched the super bowl today.
gangler

They really were made for eachother^^

Taryn just looks so beautiful in the comic too. Her “serious” face in panel 3 is adorable, but still maintains her adult graces.
Drake Kalluna

….fucking amazing, as usual
Mister Indeed

So is that a “yes”?
Johan_Yortsed

I’ve been reading the comic for a while. I love it for how silly and somewhat serious it can be, but this is one of the finest moments sir. You deserve a pat on the back
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Awesome, thanks Johan! It makes my day to hear that you like everything, I can only hope that I get better
Dani

They are so made for one another it’s actually frightening. And the coque/private dick joke will never, ever get old.

I remember you said a few comics ago that you were trying to make the girls prettier; well, you’ve definitely nailed it here! Taryn looks very feminine and lovely but you’ve managed to hold on to daddy’s personality in her expressions. Love it!
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Yeah, haha, I think it’s almost every post where I try something new, I usually force myself to do little changes instead of large ones, so things at least stay consistent… until you look back 30 posts and almost vomit like I do
Lindsay

Brilliant!!! Made my super early morning/late night! I believe I can finally go to bed!
CapCarell

\o/
Yes!
Hiro

Now if only the kola assassins would make a come back!
nick

Wait.. If she’s Coque, does that mean she has to wear the moustache made from Chase’s chest hair?
Humps-Freely

The Last Three Panels, I Have Never Seen Determination Captured With Such Devastating Dexterity, It Was Overwhelmingly Awesome.

What You Did With Chase And Taryn In This Comic Was Stupendous, Way To Raise The Bar On Your Work Scott.
Altchase

Ah yes, Taryn is awesome. My girlfriend acts like this.
http://www.fantastic-realities.com Samuraiartguy

HEE!

If I were Chase, I’d marry that girl.
StereoAsh

Oh Scott, I love you. This just made my morning. Thank you!
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  I’m really happy you liked it, thank you
http://volumesunbound.wordpress.com OhHaiMe

That was better then a wedding!
Ego

I love how Chase’s design has come to look so much like “dream Chase.” Is that a sign of character development, Scott, or just a response to all the squealing fangirls from the dream pages?
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  I liked dream Chase so much, I wanted normal Chase to have some of the similar features (eyes, jawline, etc)… but more or less, I did this by accident (pretty much like 99% of the comic’s growth)
csegbert

hahaha that’s love right there

I have to say, I don’t normally comment on things, since most people say what I’m thinking but your comic just caught me so with it’s little spider webby threads of win. I’m excited to start reading the others (Was reading this one first until I caught up)
I’ve tried a hand at doing comic-ry, but I’m a story weaver more than an artist. I appreciate what you’ve got, it’s a pleasure to have stumbled upon your comics. (Honestly…I forget how I got here, and I found it yesterday.) ^^’
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Spider webby threads are sinister indeed, but everyone here is an awesome bunch, and I’m more than grateful for that. Putting a story together is something I still struggle with, and I’m hoping I can get better yet, but I applaud you for having that talent, and I’m happy you were able to find my comic Thank you!
dor

… This is my new favorite Nerf This page of all time.
Montychu reigned that position for a long time, but he shall no longer.
Mearcyn

I was watching the movie “Night at the Museum : Smithonian” when I realized that (the female named.. Amelia?) that actress looks kinda like Taryn when Chase was having those dreams with the snuggler and such at the hospital…when her hair was all curly in his imagination lol Does that run-on sentence make sense?..I hope so
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Oh wow, that’s crazy because I thought that same thing
chuck

a good friend of mine referred me to your comic recently and I must say that I am impressed with how fast your artwork has improved over such a short amount of time. I look forward to seeing where you take the story as well as your next updates to motokool and scout crossing. Keep up the good work.
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  I’m more than happy a friend referred you, and even happier that you like it! With the three comics, among doing other illustrations, I think I’m totaling 17-19 hour work days in many cases, mostly because I love pushing myself, and creating something I’m hoping I can get better at, and everyone can enjoy, so thank you
rhiactor

1. I don’t usually comment on webcomics, cuz I often don’t like the kind of people who do, but these people seem quite nice, so, yeah.
2. This is an AMAZING comic, I am literally in love with it, and Chase, he’s like the boy version of me.
3. If the wedding happens, I totally want to be invited.
- http://nerfthiscomic.com sc0tticus
  
  Honestly, if it wasn’t for everyone’s thoughts and support, I couldn’t see the comic being what it is today, I’ve never been so honored to have the awesome bunch of you and everyone else reads it. If the weeding happens, you’re in
jake

god these cant come fast enough xD!! genious this man is
Angelgex01

I would be your Coque dude I would be your Coque
Fable

This proves it- Taryn is the perfect woman.

She’s the reason I started reading Nerf This in the first place. I kept seeing her in the ads, and I couldn’t eventually keep myself from clicking. I’m very glad I did.
52pickup

Taryn has once again proven that she is in fact the perfect girlfriend! (swoons)
wowlock

God damn… My manly-stone heart feels like it is melting under the emotions of the strip and the perfectness of Taryn…. May I can find a girl as awesome as her…
