No you’re perfectly right, Joe asked Danny if he could put Dorothy on his list of “to do” and as he spoke with Danny he started saying “So by eight tonight” and then corrected to seven thirty as Danny continued to ramble insanely…
Eh, it was only half an hour, and only because I waited for the Colbert Report to be over. I only mentioned fixing it when folks started questioning hobotron for noticing it.
It should show up in time. The edit didn’t show up right away for me, but it’s definitely fixed for me now. I’m not sure why I had the delay, but that might be what happened for you too.
I’ve heard people suggest that comics with typos and other such technical mistakes are great because it’s realistic. I’m certainly more on the side of seamless immersive storytelling which invariably gets completely destroyed when you notice a typo. Not to mention being a writer myself I really hate pushing anything with a typo in it, and would want to fix it as soon as possible. So with both sympathy for Mr Willis and an invested reader’s enthusiasm I thank you for noticing and pointing it out.
Except I think Ruth’s more annoyed because Dorothy wouldn’t let her do the soul crushing, but I do agree with you. Yale is annoying. Willis, please send her off or crush her hopes so we don’t have to hear about it anymore!
That is…overeager to the point of creepiness. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, DOROTHY.
Or, upon rereading, it’s more like a bet. Still kind of overeager though. Still, this is a good position to springboard some character development on Danny! I’m eager to see what direction he goes in. And if he’ll hook up with Sal or Billie (or, heck, Dina).
I figured this would go on for a little while, and then Dorothy gets crushed when she realises she’s not going to Harvard, but thankfully still has Danny.
Danny is reminding me an awful lot of the original Joyce. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad one, but the fact that I cringe every time he speaks is probably my answer.
Blonde White people should not wear yellow. This has been bothering me.
Is it just me, or is Danny the 1980s? I swear to Punky Brewster I’ve seen him standing next to Alex Keaton before.
That corkboard in the background that says “READ BECK”– is this about that fuggin’ hilariously awful speckalativ fikshin novel Glenn Beck “wrote”? I dare you to pick that thing up from the 75% OFF! bin at the grocery store and read half a random page without making a public spectacle yourself.
You know what, the fact that they both made disparaging comments using exactly the same sentence structure is leading me to call this now: Joe and Ruth. Together.
Whereas I’m calling RuthxMike OTP on the basis of violence and/or threats thereof. She will write valentine’s messages in the snow with sharpened femurs and he will have to fight down a genuine smile.
and the shippers come to the fore, though to my own 2 cents, it could be any of the girls…except joyce and maybe sarah (i can not see her w/anyone but joe). “Joe would totally Joe her. Even in the butt.”
Damn, dumping the clingy boyfriend on the first day? I remember this happening left and right when I was a college freshman, but it usually happened at least a week into the semester.
I have a feeling that, after his soul is crushed, Danny is going to go to Joe for consoling. Joe will be unsympathetic. Possibly hit Danny. In the face.
Either that, or Joe will be sympathetic, but Mike will be his roomie. Danny will still get hit. In the face.
if Ruth was doing the breakup, i would be on the sidelines (computerlines??) yelling,
“GO FOR THE JUGULAR!”
or something… but whatever, dannys obliviosness would probably make it just as worse as it would be if ruth was doing it.
So, this is where we slowly watch her not get accepted by Yale, and realize she screwed up…again? In another universe?
Also, just realizing that this comic seems more focused on the female leads than the male leads. I think the only one to not focus on the girls was Danny and Joe with the “WE ARE SOUL MATES!” quote.
It’s like you put so much effort into passing the Bechdel Test that you actually failed at the other end of the spectrum. Not that I judge things based on those criteria to start with, but it does raise some interesting questions.
Loading ...
It’s soul crushing time!
Or, for Joe, bet winning time!
(For some reason I thought he’d bet Danny he would get dumped. Re-reading the comic, apparently my brain just made that bit up)
No you’re perfectly right, Joe asked Danny if he could put Dorothy on his list of “to do” and as he spoke with Danny he started saying “So by eight tonight” and then corrected to seven thirty as Danny continued to ramble insanely…
#heartbreaking.
Easier. Definitely easier.
you should pbobably fix the typo in the first panel. Unless that was intentional.
what typo?
“Probably” was misspelled.
Im gonna make a guess, are you British?
It’s fixed.
That’s one hour, twenty three minutes between nitpicking and nit picked– Willis is a machine.
What typo!?
Eh, it was only half an hour, and only because I waited for the Colbert Report to be over. I only mentioned fixing it when folks started questioning hobotron for noticing it.
It still doesn’t look fixed to me. Unless there were two typos and you still left “pbobably” sitting up there.
That or your R’s are really deformed.
It should show up in time. The edit didn’t show up right away for me, but it’s definitely fixed for me now. I’m not sure why I had the delay, but that might be what happened for you too.
It’s been a day. The change should have happened by now. I’ll try clearing my cache and see what that does.
Sorry if I sounded too nitpicky. I just noticed it and thought I’d make mention of it. I blame being an English major.

I’m gonna have to echo Ruth on this one. Dorothy’s getting on my nerves
Specifically, the whole harping on Yale to the exclusion of all else. Poor Danny.

Heck no! Dina’s mine! MINE!
Compromise: you distract her and I steal her awesome hat.
Immature Danny is very immature.
It’s okay, Danny. You can marry me.
Hahaha! The avatar, genius!
Good god man, why can’t you let Danny not have his sould crushed for once? What did he ever do to you!? Is it the mullet?!
I figured this would go on for a little while, and then Dorothy gets crushed when she realises she’s not going to Harvard, but thankfully still has Danny.
Why would she be crushed about not going to Harvard? She’d probably be glad not to go to Harvard.
Yeah, who needs immeasurable wealth and power? Overrated, I say. President of the United States, pssht.
I think beeftony means that she is a actually Yale-bound, not Harvard-bound, there is a big difference between the two.
Interesting that this is both sad as hell & hilarious.
It’s also kind of weird seeing Danny be a little over the top w/ Joe as his straight man.
Hm.
Danny is reminding me an awful lot of the original Joyce. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad one, but the fact that I cringe every time he speaks is probably my answer.
Cringing is a good thing, right? Right?
…I sure hope so, otherwise my love life has to be reinterpreted drastically.
Your avatar makes your comment gold.
Oh goodness. He IS my ex-boyfriend.
Poor, poor idiot 🙁 </3
In your faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace, Joe!
He’s making HER MOM harder. HAHAHA– yeah, not funny…
ALWAYS funny. ALWAYS.
That wasn’t funny.
You know what IS funny?
Your mom.
Right after I’ve f#cked her.
In the faaaaaaace.
You know, I really want to feel bad for Danny. It’s almost like watching a train wreck. No one is going to feel good the morning after.
That last panel just makes him seem like a bit of a jerk though. Stupid smile.
Oh boy….game over man.
FINISH HIM!

It’s the name of the dorm.
The name of the dorm and the wing.
You know what, the fact that they both made disparaging comments using exactly the same sentence structure is leading me to call this now: Joe and Ruth. Together.
Forever.
Whereas I’m calling RuthxMike OTP on the basis of violence and/or threats thereof. She will write valentine’s messages in the snow with sharpened femurs and he will have to fight down a genuine smile.
But Amber/Mike is my OTP…
It’s okay, Mike/Everyone’s Mom is my OTP.
and the shippers come to the fore, though to my own 2 cents, it could be any of the girls…except joyce and maybe sarah (i can not see her w/anyone but joe). “Joe would totally Joe her. Even in the butt.”
haven’t thought of that comic in a while
Damn, dumping the clingy boyfriend on the first day? I remember this happening left and right when I was a college freshman, but it usually happened at least a week into the semester.
And oh my – I’m Joyce!
I have a feeling that, after his soul is crushed, Danny is going to go to Joe for consoling. Joe will be unsympathetic. Possibly hit Danny. In the face.
Either that, or Joe will be sympathetic, but Mike will be his roomie. Danny will still get hit. In the face.
Twitter has informed us that Mike is Walky’s roomie.
Oh boy. That’s bound to end well.
This is where Danny’s soul snaps like a twix bar!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! face
Ruth may be evil, but at least she’s not full of shit.
if Ruth was doing the breakup, i would be on the sidelines (computerlines??) yelling,
“GO FOR THE JUGULAR!”
or something… but whatever, dannys obliviosness would probably make it just as worse as it would be if ruth was doing it.
I see the user above me has become One with Ivan Braginski, da?
Huzza for Hetalia… hehehe (love the avvie)
-this comic is also amusing-
So, this is where we slowly watch her not get accepted by Yale, and realize she screwed up…again? In another universe?
Also, just realizing that this comic seems more focused on the female leads than the male leads. I think the only one to not focus on the girls was Danny and Joe with the “WE ARE SOUL MATES!” quote.
You’re on to something with that second paragraph…
It’s like you put so much effort into passing the Bechdel Test that you actually failed at the other end of the spectrum. Not that I judge things based on those criteria to start with, but it does raise some interesting questions.
ITS A TRAP!
Though Dans everywhere need love…
IN YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAACE, JOE!
Meep. Poor Danny. 🙁
“You are a moron.”
That line made me laugh really hard 😀
Dorothy is Ruth’s least favorite? That’ll change pretty quickly.
I can’t tell if “least favorite” is a positive or negative. As in- “bottom of list of people I like” or “top of a list of people I don’t”. Oh well.
Also Joe, Danny is a moron and you are a huge asshole. What’s your point?
Easier. Definitely Easier.
