One of the three webcomics from the creative team of Ryan Sohmer and Lar DeSouza (the others being ''[[Looking for Group]]'' and ''[[The Gutters]]''). The award-winning ''[http://www.leasticoulddo.com Least I Could Do]'' is mainly a gag-based comic strip (although every month it features a [[Story Arc]] or two that last about a week) about the misadventures of a group of longtime 20-something geek friends living in the city. The stories mainly revolve around love, sex, modern life and all things geeky from ''[[Star Wars]]'' to ''[[Star Trek]]'' to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' to [[Comic Book|comic books]] and back again.
The main character is the incredibly promiscuous Rayne, who, if you were to judge lecherousness on a scale of one to ten with ten being the highest a human could possibly be, would probably hit somewhere [[Broke the Rating Scale|around a twenty-three]]. Throw in a lot of [[Idiot Hero]], a few dashes of [[Adult Child]] (with a few hints of [[Psychopathic Manchild]]), and a lot of [[Jerkass]] and you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Rayne, although there are many occasions where he shows greater "depths" behind the intentionally and unapologetically shallow face he presents to the world... or at least, Sohmer desperately tries to write his [[Self Insert]] as having more depth than a puddle of spilled Zima.
Line 73:
** In the ''Beginnings'' strips, Rayne's mother is pretty easy on the eyes too (and her present-day incarnation shows that she's aged rather gracefully).
*** His father is no slouch either.
* [[Ho Yay]]: The extremely straight Rayne has often been shown to have a mancrush on Aragorn from [[The Lord of the Rings]].
** What about [http://archive.leasticoulddo.com/strips/20060918.gif this]{{Dead link}} and [http://archive.leasticoulddo.com/strips/20061007.gif this]{{Dead link}}?
** [http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080222 Even more.]
Line 93:
** [http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080508 Here].
** Also prevalent in the Star Wars arc.
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: The arc with Marcy's boyfriend made it look like Rayne might come to terms with his man-whore behavior, after realizing that he missed his chance with Marcy because he assumed she would just wait for him to make his move and never find any other men. But then he gets over it by watching ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' with Ashley, and by next week he's back to normal.
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: Ashley's is Lou Ferrigno. [http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20100414 Only he's not so imaginary.]
* [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]: Subverted.
