They fight. John gains the upper hand and gives Caliborn a beating, then involuntarily zaps away again. Caliborn is left flat on his back, unable to comprehend his first taste of defeat.

John zaps from the pages of Homosuck to the studio where those pages are drawn. He recognizes Caliborn as the author and big bad.

Next, Caliborn introduces a self-insert character. This gorgeous bastard has the wings that Caliborn himself will never develop because his premature predomination stunted his growth. Finally, he grants the handsome boy a full body union with the clockwork makjack.

Caliborn abandons all previous work. He revels in the creative possibilities of this new style, especially the way it can make affection between males less loathsome to him because the males are rendered more effeminate. He teases a tsundere bishie romance between the Alpha Male and the Krab Guy.

Caliborn was all set to introduce the trolls in the next act of Homosuck, and had even prepared their sprite art in the same style as the Tragic Male and Alpha Male. Then he fell under the sway of the How To Draw Manga book.
