Herman and Jacky's Relationship: Romantic Platonic

Cross posting from tumblr

I’m not sure if I’ve told tumblr or DA what kind of relationship Jacky and Herman are in outright. XD I thought it was obvious, but I can see how it becomes confusing because of how often I draw them kissing. It's especially confusing if the concept of a romantic but not sexual relationship is new to you, and there's plenty of folks out there who would find that new!

I see them as very platonic. I realize for a lot of folks that word is associated with non-romantic relationships, but after looking at the definition a few times I think it’s a fit. Herman and Jacky are romantic, but they’re not sexual. If you’re curious about their supposed kid Andy, the answer is simple, he’s adopted.

They kiss lots but I don’t see kissing as sexual in this context. It’s just cute. And helluva fun to draw, as everything cuddly is.
