Yeah, short story. Jeph posted a twitter stating that Sven gets more "bishie" every time he draws him then gasped in horror that he knows the word. I, out of my natural curiosity, decided to seek out the meaning of said word. Now I know the meaning as well. DAMN YOU JEPH YOU DISTURBING WORD PASSING ON BASTARD!
(though I have to admit, I had a similar situation when I made a joke about tentacle porn then paused and wondered "How the f*** do I know about tentacle porn?!?" Fortunately, a brief look back at my history of web comics answered that simply enough)
