They deserve to have the heads explode after 1)forcing him to go to therapy because of Joyce, and 2)treating his singleness as a bad thing. They are as bad dumb as Amber’s mom, and as bigoted as Linda and Carol.
I’d guess that it’s a storyline from Roomies, since I don’t think Danny has ever been to therapy (and has barely interacted with Joyce at all) in this continuity.
I mean both “baby girl” and “foxy mama” are better than calling her “sloppy seconds” (which is (a) a really gross way to refer to somebody; (b) a ridiculously inaccurate way to refer to somebody you have never and might not ever get intimate with; (c) did I mention that reducing somebody to a receptacle for ejaculate is disgusting, dehumanising, sickening, insulting, and just plain terrible? And (d) slut-shaming a supposed friend who you know struggles with people projecting their expectations onto is really nasty (also completely uncalled for but even if she were a female Joe it wouldn’t be acceptable)) but yeah, I can see why – based on what she knows of him and coupled with him also laughing and apologising – she could see it as almost charming…
My opinion of Danny really plummeted with that comment though. If, when he’s angry enough, misogynistic bullcrap spills out of his mouth, that means it’s in him to start off with. Also he’s angry with Walky and possibly his exes so he decides that trying to seduce his female twin while mentally reducing her to a vagina makes sense?? Messed up.
Not purely by their worst moments, but they are a part of who you are. I mean Carol is not always trying to bail the person who threatened both his own and her own daughter with a gun out of jail saying if he could be jail for simply threatening them with a gun it could happen to any of them. But the fact that threatening her children with a gun is apparently an option she wanted to keep open changes how I see the potential risk of telling her about Jocelyn.
I agree. I do think Danny has shown good intentions in a number of situations up until now and he had quite the nasty revelation just before now. I don’t blame him for being a bit of an a-hole as a result as long as it’s just a temporary hiccup which this clearly is.
I suspect it’s more that he used a common metaphor without considering the origins or implications than that he was actually mentally reduciner her to a vagina. Worth pointing out to him how it sounds, but it doesn’t have to be some deep insight into how he really sees women.
Yes, I think Danny just used a common expression without thinking. I think if someone were to point out the implication, he’d be appalled and wouldn’t use it again. He doesn’t appear to be the type of person who only values women for one thing. I also think he might’ve picked up unfortunate ways of speaking from Joe.
Hmm, I didn’t read it that way at all. I figured he was just using that phrase in the sense of, “these are people I’ve dated who are now seeing other people” and not in the sense of “they’re garbage now that they’re not with me”. It sounded fairly harmless in this context, to me. As for Sal, pretty sure he thinks he’s not cool enough to get with her. He’s pulling a stunt here because he’s feeling frustrated and ridiculous, but I don’t think he expected anything to come of it. I mean, look how surprised he is in that last panel here. Just my two cents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He’s only just gotten into the Bard class, it’ll take a bit for him to properly learn how to seduce every problem he comes across. But you gotta admit, he’s starting surprisingly well, even if it is accidentally…
Sure, but you’re probably not doing it after declaring you want to bang them because you’re pissy their brother is dating your ex and you’re pretty sure their brother won’t bang them? And referring to them as ‘sloppy seconds’.
I’m assuming he actually just felt like seeing her anyway.
But since he started thinking about how Walky ends up falling for his exes at the same time, the thoughts just kind of collided.
And then he said/implied something stupid, but I don’t think there was an actual plan to seduce Sal to get back at Walky.
That said, “sloppy seconds”? Come on Danny, you’re a better egg than that.
Thank you. I low key project onto these two bc most of my closest friends are guys. The shipping comments give me ‘Nam flashbacks to high school and everyone’s straight nonesense
Or just flew. Why can’t Jedi fly again? They should be able to, they can telekinesis anything and use that to assist their own acrobatics.
Or maybe just hurled a bunch of rocks at Obi-Wan. Why do Jedi keep forgetting they can use telekinesis?
Or maybe taken a moment to reprogram that flying cargo thing he was on to fly higher? He was both a good pilot and a good technician, he could easily have adjusted the output of its engines. Why do Jedi keep forgetting they have ordinary skills too?
Or he could ha- *gets dragged away for the sake of everyone*
I mean, his opponent in this case ALSO has telekinesis and probably wouldn’t just hang around politely waiting while Anakin reprogrammed the cargo platform.
Actually, no I’m not feeling silly in the least. More disappointed that it went this way and didn’t end with Danny getting beaten. Any dick who refers to a girl as sloppy seconds deserves to get kicked in his.
Yeah, that’s ot acceptable.
I’m not going to hate him forever for it though, I feel like it’s one of those fugly bits of patriarchy that still stick to anyone, even good eggs, who haven’t yet put in the work of deconstructing society. And well, for a male 18-yo from an emotionnally damaging family in Indiana circa 2019, he’s not doing too bad. He needs to do better, sure, but I feel he will. Else I’ll cry.
Yes, they’ve become good friends and I’m glad. I also apologise to Danny for doubting him for a moment! Watching them laugh at Danny trying to imitate Joe is a genuine cause for smiles.
Meanwhile… I do think that they will date at some point, even if only out of curiosity about what it would be like.
I just want to call it: everything’s good and well for now, but Danny’s comment will come back to bite him in the butt. Dina is going to remember what he said and say it in front of Walky or Sal or smth and he’s gonna get punched in the face.
He always gets the girl (or boy now) through sheer stupidity and dumb luck, even if Willis will make him suffer like a cosmic punching bag. His marriage with Billie is still something I found as both good and bad depnding on your personal interpretation.
Decide what you want, Danny! It’s either baby girl of Foxy mama. Also, even if I don’t see this ship working, this two have a good chemistry as friends. The lack of aliens and baby switching makes Sal more mentally healthy.
I think Sal and Danny are great as friends and I cannot see them in a romantic relationship at all, but I can see why Danny suddenly got this idea: If he dated Sal, Walky would most definitely not date her after him.
If Danny is serious about any of this, I hope Sal tells him of quickly. Also, risking his friendship with Sal to spite Walky seems… ill-considered. I thought Danny had grown past this.
“Babe” is the closest thing to allowable. I don’t see “mama” as much as “daddy” but they’re both reeeally fucked and I hope I never get called any of the above.
I often call my husband “daddy” in front of and when talking about him to our young children. In other contexts I either use his name or a term of endearment like “sweetie” or “lovely”…

NOW WE’RE IN RERUNS AGAIN
webcomic name: oh no
Just wait till hey-3.
Oh thank God, Ok people crises averted. It seemed like sitting down and laughing it off gave Danny enough time to catch himself.
Danny’s a good egg, just slightly cracked.
So it’s just oozing out slightly then?
Okay, I fully buy that the only way Danny could be a ladies man is if he’s so dorky he somehow shoots the moon.
Works for me. The Dao of Dorky has served me well.
now THAT’S comedy
baby girl => foxy mama => ole granny
clotho, lachesis, and atroposexy
The Nubile, the Milf and the Cougar (Crone-gar?)
Dammit, I can never use any other terms for the Fates ever again.
Maybe it’s my taste for musical theater showing, but doesn’t ingenue deserve a place in that list?
The Maid in the Meadow => The Demon Lover => The Stouthearted Woman => The Tall and Quiet Woman
*cues up some Led Zeppelin*
Danny might actually earn a little respect if he manages to play Black Dog on that thing.
dooon’t push it
Keep pushing, Danny! Go for the trifecta!!
They should get married, that would be cute
I love that idea if only to see his parents’ heads explode.
They deserve to have the heads explode after 1)forcing him to go to therapy because of Joyce, and 2)treating his singleness as a bad thing. They are as bad dumb as Amber’s mom, and as bigoted as Linda and Carol.
When did Danny have to go to therapy because of Joyce?
It was obviously Joyce’s fault that Dorothy broke up with him.
I’d guess that it’s a storyline from Roomies, since I don’t think Danny has ever been to therapy (and has barely interacted with Joyce at all) in this continuity.
I’m glad we won’t have to see that train wreck Danny was working on. Joyce has us covered there all by herself.
Looks like Joyce won this round of “who’s being more stupid.”
I’m not sure I’d call that “winning”.
Okay, this turned out soooo much better and more adorable than I could have hoped for. That’s a big smile from me.
Danny X Sal. This is a hill I will die on.
Hmm. Your Claire checks out.
Claireface for every occasion ^.^
Can’t wait to see the situation that requires Stoned Claireface.
A wild Meredith appears. It’s her birthday.
Ok but this is so cute!
rot13 of the day: fgvyy tbvat, jurr
Huh, she’s actually into it. Let’s see how Dan ruins it…
Almost…charming? Oh, Holy Mother of Herpes, Sal’s gonna pity fuck the Danny.
“Almost” being the operational word.
o h
O H

I dont think thats the plan at all. I think it was a red herring for the joke
I feel like the “Sloppy seconds” comment was more directed at Walky than at Sal.
I don’t think you should measure people by their worst moments. That way we’re all terrible (and, also, vampires).
Not purely by their worst moments, but they are a part of who you are. I mean Carol is not always trying to bail the person who threatened both his own and her own daughter with a gun out of jail saying if he could be jail for simply threatening them with a gun it could happen to any of them.

I agree!
The alternate universe is exerting pull to help harmonize it!
But you still failed your Bluff + CHA roll.
As a bard.
He’s only just gotten into the Bard class, it’ll take a bit for him to properly learn how to seduce every problem he comes across. But you gotta admit, he’s starting surprisingly well, even if it is accidentally…
Just wait until he figures out Countersong.
Did it REALLY though, Sal? 😛
And oh thank god, hopefully whatever the hell possessed Danny two seconds ago has vacated his body and won’t be back.
She did say almost.
She laughed and not in an insulting kind of way so she lied it did go around to charming.
i dont think anything possesed him. I think these two are friends and he did the over-the-top flirting as a joke/psuedo flirt.
i’ve done it to my friends- most of whom I do think are pretty nice looking, i think?
Sure, but you’re probably not doing it after declaring you want to bang them because you’re pissy their brother is dating your ex and you’re pretty sure their brother won’t bang them? And referring to them as ‘sloppy seconds’.

And then he said/implied something stupid, but I don’t think there was an actual plan to seduce Sal to get back at Walky.
That said, “sloppy seconds”? Come on Danny, you’re a better egg than that.
It’s the line ‘Let’s see him scarf up these next sloppy seconds’ makes it sound like that was exactly his plan to me.
Yeah, I might be overly optimistic, I’m just thinking that it’s one of these things people say but don’t mean.
Danny’s hat has reasserted it’s good influence over him after being off his head for too long.
Goddammit, Danny, you’re hard to love but you’re harder to hate. I’m endeared against my will!
That’s our Danny!
*laugh track, applause*
But really Danny, stahp.
Remember kids, neither of them have ever actually shown any attraction to the other.
It’s a cute friendship is all and I’m all for that.
Well the first time the two of them met he confused her for his other love interest…..does that count for anything or does it subtract?
Also in fairness, Amber thought there was something between them. But in double fairness, IDK if that adds or subtracts, either
Thank you. I low key project onto these two bc most of my closest friends are guys. The shipping comments give me ‘Nam flashbacks to high school and everyone’s straight nonesense
Oh no, Danny. You have released forces you can’t control!
Don’t underestimate the powers of the force.
That’s pretty much what Anakin said right before he got his legs and arm chopped off and turned crispy >.>
That’s because he didn’t have the high ground.
He should’ve just made a jump to the left and flanked around.
Or just flew. Why can’t Jedi fly again? They should be able to, they can telekinesis anything and use that to assist their own acrobatics.
Or maybe just hurled a bunch of rocks at Obi-Wan. Why do Jedi keep forgetting they can use telekinesis?
Or maybe taken a moment to reprogram that flying cargo thing he was on to fly higher? He was both a good pilot and a good technician, he could easily have adjusted the output of its engines. Why do Jedi keep forgetting they have ordinary skills too?
Or he could ha- *gets dragged away for the sake of everyone*
I mean, his opponent in this case ALSO has telekinesis and probably wouldn’t just hang around politely waiting while Anakin reprogrammed the cargo platform.
That’s not how the Force works!
Is Sal leanin’ up against a porta-potty?
On the left side – Rawles Hall is in the background.
Amazing how close these two came to bonin’ in another universe.
All the reactionaries in the last strip must be feeling silly. These guys are friends.
Actually, no I’m not feeling silly in the least. More disappointed that it went this way and didn’t end with Danny getting beaten. Any dick who refers to a girl as sloppy seconds deserves to get kicked in his.
Yeah, that’s ot acceptable.
I’m not going to hate him forever for it though, I feel like it’s one of those fugly bits of patriarchy that still stick to anyone, even good eggs, who haven’t yet put in the work of deconstructing society. And well, for a male 18-yo from an emotionnally damaging family in Indiana circa 2019, he’s not doing too bad. He needs to do better, sure, but I feel he will. Else I’ll cry.
Oh, definitely fair. “Sloppy seconds” is a shitty term, worthy of getting hit.
last panel dan is all of us at this panel
i do love that theyre close enough they can make that joke though. sal laughing is wholesome.
I find this reaction natural, Sal knowing that she knows with Danny thinks him saying that is completely hilarious XD
Yes, they’ve become good friends and I’m glad. I also apologise to Danny for doubting him for a moment! Watching them laugh at Danny trying to imitate Joe is a genuine cause for smiles.
Meanwhile… I do think that they will date at some point, even if only out of curiosity about what it would be like.
DoA Book 10: Wait What
I was worried yesterday, but things seem to be going okay. I’m glad.
wait what
Sal has an unhealthy attraction to ukuleles
Danny did not fuck this up? What is going on?! Even he is surprised!
Now you’ve gone and reminded me of the penguins vs. rope video and I must go rewatch it. I don’t really mind, though.
This is become a cute moment of friendship. Nice. Maybe too nice.
The rare double reverse-Dannying.
I just want to call it: everything’s good and well for now, but Danny’s comment will come back to bite him in the butt. Dina is going to remember what he said and say it in front of Walky or Sal or smth and he’s gonna get punched in the face.
Good work, Danny! You’ve broken the ice, and gotten her in a good mood. Now, move in with your Master Seduction Routine!
…
Don’t give me that blank stare, Danny! Hit her with the Good Stuff!
Hey! Don’t run away!
Current status: Very cautiously slightly optimistic.
Well that’s what I call a total reverSal!
Danny Wilcox: Failing his way to victory for decades.
He always gets the girl (or boy now) through sheer stupidity and dumb luck, even if Willis will make him suffer like a cosmic punching bag. His marriage with Billie is still something I found as both good and bad depnding on your personal interpretation.
Decide what you want, Danny! It’s either baby girl of Foxy mama. Also, even if I don’t see this ship working, this two have a good chemistry as friends. The lack of aliens and baby switching makes Sal more mentally healthy.
The ukulele is a stunning object of power.
I think Sal and Danny are great as friends and I cannot see them in a romantic relationship at all, but I can see why Danny suddenly got this idea: If he dated Sal, Walky would most definitely not date her after him.
If Danny is serious about any of this, I hope Sal tells him of quickly. Also, risking his friendship with Sal to spite Walky seems… ill-considered. I thought Danny had grown past this.
Both “baby” and “mama/daddy” are weird as fuck as terms for sexual/romantic partners, I don’t care how common it is.
I agree. Ugh.
“Babe” is the closest thing to allowable. I don’t see “mama” as much as “daddy” but they’re both reeeally fucked and I hope I never get called any of the above.
I often call my husband “daddy” in front of and when talking about him to our young children. In other contexts I either use his name or a term of endearment like “sweetie” or “lovely”…
And yet, they’re all far better than the abomination known as “bae”.
What’s wrong with “bae”? It’s just an shorter “babe”, which is just a shorter “baby”.
Just imagine what he could accomplish with a set of bagpipes.
No.
Yes.
Seriously, I want to see this, now.
Okay, maybe I just want to see Danny in a kilt.
Then he goes full William Wallace and fights against Jason’s family.
wait what
I love everything about this strip
