''Least I Could Do'' (''LICD'') is a humor webcomic by Ryan Sohmer and Lar deSouza (also the creators of the fantasy webcomic ''Looking for Group''), which debuted on February 10, 2003. The original artist for the strip was Trevor Adams, who was with ''Least I Could Do'' for about six months. Adams was followed by Chad W. M. Porter, who drew the strip for two years. ''Least I Could Do'' is produced by Blind Ferret Entertainment, which owns the rights to the strip. The primary theme of the strip is sexuality, especially the promiscuity of the primary character, Rayne Summers, who is loosely based upon Sohmer himself.〔 The strip updates every day. Sunday features ''Least I Could Do: Beginnings'', a strip following Rayne at age 8 with storylines unrelated to the main strip. Story lines tend to last for only a few strips, but some have gone several weeks. ==History== The original artist for the strip was Trevor Adams, who drew the strip from its debut until July 18, 2003, later moving on to create his own comic ''Gemini Paradox''. Chad Porter took over on July 28, 2003. In late 2004, ''I Have My Moments'', a full color book featuring the first year of ''LICD'' with Porter as the artist, was published. In early 2005, the strip underwent a major change with the introduction of a new character, Noel, Rayne's friend. Noel was often given roles that previously would have gone to the character John Gold, whose frequency in the strip had been reduced. Rayne soon became a business executive on falsified credentials, with the intent of sleeping with the CEO of IDS Enterprises, Marcy McKean. ''Least I Could Do'' "3.0" launched on August 15, 2005 with the departure of Porter as the artist. Lar deSouza, a long time friend of Sohmer and his artistic partner on the daily comic ''In Other News'', took over as the artist. The comic and website have been undergoing some major changes as a result. December 2005 marked the publication of ''My Will Be Done'', the complete 2nd year collection featuring Chad Porter's final strips for the comic. It also included a mini-comic drawn by Lar, depicting the origins of "Bra-Man". In July 2006 the first Bra-Man comic was released. In November 2006, ''Because I Can'', the 3rd year collection, and the first to feature current artist Lar deSouza was published. In the July 9, 2007 strip, the cast opened a "letter" from the writer and artist which stated that from that moment on, they would age normally rather than remain a perpetual age 24 or so. Since then, the strip's characters have enacted major life changes: notably, Noel moved in with and later married his girlfriend, and Rayne, in a plot arc beginning in September, experimented with monogamy. In 2010, Sohmer announced that deSouza will be re-drawing the original strips done by Trevor Adams in the current artistic style. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Least I Could Do」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
