Larry:  Interesting idea.  I think I'll try it.

Rich:  Does no one around here respect my interpretation of the Bro Code?

Larry is growing.  Rich is stagnant.  While I don't anticipate a dramatic Bromance breakup between these two, if there is any separation between them in the near future I doubt either one will make the effort to overcome the distance.

The last panel has got to be from the point of view of Rich's delusional fantasy POV. Seems overstated, though. Not getting why Rich would see Larry in such a threatening mode. Maybe Larry as part of the problematic environment that caused Rich to be who he is, I could see that hypothetical Larry being more threatening from Rich's POV.

He's been suspicious of Larry from the Card Game from Hell.  Between Larry being open to dating (or what ever) Tedd when she is in her fem form and Larry saying that "That's not going to happen" to when Rich said that he didn't want Larry (if he was gay) to hit on him.

The Dan has said in several posts on Social Media that the threatening  shadow figure is George, not Larry.

Yeah, George is watching Rich to ensure that he doesn’t get too far out of line.

I did not realize that.  I will update the tags.

That makes more sense.

I've noticed that both of the "large rude geeks" in the comic (George and Mr. d10) both have a strong "no gatekeeping" ethos.  And both of them seem to have issues with Rich and/or Larry getting out of line.
