    Indeed, it sells the comic.

    This is why the machines rebel, the disgusting filth they had to endure and couldn't look away from. I don't even blame them.

    Tycho has that look in his face that I do whenever I am truly disgusted and mesmerized at what I'm thinking of or looking at.

    The fact that his right arm is no longer over the back of the couch in the last panel tells me more about Tycho than I wanted to know.

    No.

    Wait.

    No, I'm fine with it.

    Looks like Tycho's about to angrily play with his Xboner...

    Not gonna lie, I googled "Gaius Pubis" before I even got to the end of the strip.

    Sadly, the results were disappointing.

    It makes his expression extremely creepier. :^:

    That might just be the best version of "porn-watching face" I've ever seen. Perfectly unexpected.

    "Quadrant 3. Enhance." is by far the greatest part of this great strip.

    Tycho's officially sexually deviant.
    Jerry's... a human enigma.

    Nothing to add to what's been said about the comic. I laughed.

    They've discussed before that Jerry enjoys all kinds of sexuality. Mike was shocked to learn that Jerry has watched gay porn for pleasure. It was in one of the PATV episodes.

    In that episode, it seemed like he was emphasizing the distinction between "material" he likes to watch, and actual activities he would be interested in engaging in. I think everyone makes that distinction, the gap is just much wider with him than for most people? That is what I took away from it.

    I think I'm just gonna learn to knit, and make a Kinect cozy. Problem solved.

    97% of what I use it for now is yelling at the XBox anyway.

    In one of the earlier episodes, when Mike says that after they make the Comic Jerry just watches porn, he makes an offhand comment about how it doesn't sound like there are any girls in that scene and Jerry responds that there aren't.

    Doesn't make him bi, but it was a hilarious moment.

    IMHO you're attaching too much of the sexual context onto the facial expression.
    I do not think it relates, or that he's already engaged in it.

    I think the face, and that one of his hands is no longer in the prior position, is essentially the "we are now getting serious/dangerous" scene.
    It is a classic setup that is usually similar. Start off in a relaxed position, and then the character would suddenly put their hands down, lean forward, and with a severe stern gaze deliver the message that means: shit just got real.

    Not very unlike the "I'm not always, but when I do" meme.
