        It’s like he’s cursed. I mean, what’d he do in a past life, get one of the cast killed in a heroic sacrifice as a last ditch chance for redemption when there was no need whatsoever? For example, I mean.

                  Danny went through an alcoholic phase and went drunk-driving to pick up more booze for a party. Ruth was one of his close friends in the Walkyverse (she is also keenly aware that she’s responsible for his alcoholism in the first place) and drove after him to stop him. She died in a crash, ramming his car out of the way of an oncoming truck.

                  Danny soon went on to shack up with Billie and also later unwittingly saved the world from Sal via the latter’s self-image issues. Sal and Billie proceed to fight over Danny (Sal wanted to back off but Billie insisted), and Sal let Billie win.

                  Something something zombie apocalypse in space, something something Sarah gets her law degree and is involved with the move that nearly dooms humanity, something something a magical leafy branch is used to save and/or destroy the world for the third time, something something babies ever after.

                  Spaghetti was pouring out of Danny’s pockets the entire time, of course. Because he’s Danny.

                  @ Gigafreak

                  And by “alcoholic phase” you mean “he had a beer”

                  Like I’m not joking. He has like… a beer… maybe 2… This all happens over the course of a single night

                  As a general rule, when people around here start ironically commenting about how unlikely scenarios could never possibly come to pass, you can safely assume that the scenario is something that actually happened in the Walkyverse.

                  (Or just read the old comics. Roomies!/It’s Walky! isn’t that long a read.)

            More likely he was the butler for Dracula. Or maybe he was the guy who thought the Spanish inquisition was a good idea. Maybe he was both.

            In all fairness, in that universe they never showed and feelings for one another, and even in this universe it’s still a bit of a stretch to g ahead and call Billie Ruth’s girlfriend

      I was going to say she inspires salaciousness rather than having it, and then I looked it up just to make sure I wasn’t talking out my ass and she fits the second definition to a t.

        Probably relieved.  Sal was pretty pissed off at him the last time we saw them together, and he knew that she had the ability and a pretty good reason to rat him out for swapping a screwing for a better grade.

        Of course, the effect she has on guys (and let’s face it, girls) is more reminiscent of Minerva Mink.

      To be fair, it’s not entirely unreasonable to call someone by their whole name when you first meet them. A lot of people who go by nicknames and shortened versions of their names do so because they dislike their full names, but calling them the full names usually doesn’t cause this much of a reaction.

        Whatever name someone gives you upon introduction is how you should address them. Saying, “Oh, you mean-” can be anything from rude to ethnocentric. What one says is usually what one means, especially in things as practiced as introductions.

        (If you do want to call them something else, such as when someone gives what you would assume is a shortened form and you’re a more formal person and uncomfortable with it, perhaps try something like, “Would it be alright to call you ____?” and they can say yes, no, or, “That’s not my name,” as needed. If you’re trying to get their full name for legal reasons, as with filling out paperwork for them, simply ask, “Is that your full name?” /miss manners.)

      You want a scenario where it gets worse for Danny? There are so many mines for him to step on in this conversation! In order to learn whether she’s secretly Amazi-Girl, he’s going to ask about her hair. Is it a wig, or what? He’ll also try to talk her out of those boots.

      I look forward to some Sal eye twitches.

      Even worse would be if he first tries to have the conversation with “Amazi-Girl” about his winning against the temptation to cheat on his girlfriend, and only then does he try to secretly verify that she’s Amazi-Girl by trying to chat her out of her boots. He won’t ask about her hair until she’s at maximum combustion potential. Final straw that will break Dan’s back.

    As someone with asthma who spent a fair amount of her time in college frustrated by rude smokers who would not abide by the campus rules (and had to use her inhaler and endure moderate to severe discomfort waaay more than if they’d just smoked in the sections labeled for it) I really appreciate that Sal is not smoking indoors and has no plans to. Just, seeing that cigarette in her mouth remain unlit makes me like her even more.

      The only question is whether holding an unlit cigarette in the mouth inside a campus building would be considered a use of tobacco products.

        Oh, wow, I hadn’t realized they’d changed it. Then again, 2008 would be right about the last time I’d visited their campus. That’s awesome news for people with respiratory issues, if a bit of an inconvenience for smokers who live on campus. I have no idea what my own uni’s policies are now, either.

        Whatever the case, I would not be surprised if there are still people violating it, and I’m glad to see Sal’s (screw the rules attitude or no) not that sort of person.

        Good thing she owns a private vehicle, then. She can smoke it on her motorcycle.

        No, huh? What if she only smokes it inside of her helmet?

    I like how he’s totally assuming Billie’s right about Sal being amazigirl.

    And by like I mean hate.

    Don’t you dare cheat on Jason, Sal! You hate him far too much!

      No. I think it could be a running gag. Danny keeps stumbling into offers of hate-sex, and keeps turning them down. Billie, now Sal, eventually Sarah, even Amber (oh the irony).

    I think it is clear. Sal wants to ship wonderbread with the sweatervest museum. And then keep them both far away from her.

    Too bad she hadn’t encountered Faz. That would be fun.

    I once encountered a really annoying guy who went by Sal. That wasn’t his name, just three letters of his last name. I called him “Sally” in conversation, and he went into a fit of anger. A mutual friend later asked me how I knew about “the Sally thing.” This was apparently a huge deal for the guy, and my friend had seen him have a similar reaction to someone else calling him “Sally” in the past. Not knowing any of this at the time, all I could do was laugh, and my amusement caused him to have a full-on meltdown. It only got funnier as he got angrier.

    So today’s strip was even funnier for me than it otherwise would have been, bringing back memories of good ol’ Sally.

    Sal and Danny shipping
    It might seem much stranger,
    it might seem much stranger
    Across a crowded dorm
    And somehow you knew,
    You knew even then
    That somewhere you’d seen them
    Again and again.

    Sal and Danny shipping
    New readers may be laughing,
    You may hear them laughing
    Across a crowded board
    And night after night,
    As strange as it seems
    The sound of their laughter
    Will sing in your dreams.

    Who can explain it?
    Who can tell you why?
    Shippers give you reasons,
    Willis never tries.

    Sal and Danny shipping
    When you see their true love,
    When you feel it call you
    Across a crowded archive,
    Then fly to that ship,
    And make it your own
    Or all through your life you
    May dream all alone.

    Once you have shipped it,
    Never let it go.
    Once you have shipped it,
    Never let it go!

    To the tune of “Some Enchanted Evening”
