                  JCD’s is Malcolm McDowell’s Alex, Heath Ledger’s Joker, and… some guy. 🙂

                  Paradox, today’s grav is an original character by the same guy who draws the webcomic Frivolesque, which still deserves more love, even more so if you have a thing for girls with glasses.

                  I just checked Frivolesque and once again you led me to a worthy place 🙂

        “I want a reason to feel disdain for Danny other than considering him incompetent?” Incompetence is good enough reason

        “Suffering drives plot?” Closer

        “Suffering in this comic is enjoyable, and that’s why we’re all still here?” There we go.

        Discovering he’s bisexual doesn’t mean he has to break up with Amber. It just means she has someone to share her favorite fanfics with now.

          It’s Danny we’re talking about. If he ever rationalized his attraction to men, he’s probably convince himself he’s gay.

          And remember; Danny thought imagining kissing Ethan constituted being unfaithful.

          Drama bombs await.

        Arnold’s from Shortpacked. Ken and Malaya’s roommate. In DoA, he seems to be Ken’s. In this strip, he’s the ear at the edge of the first panel.

        It surely says something about Willis’s designs that he’s actually fairly recognizable from just that sliver. I don’t actually know what, but it must say something.

        I’m not sure he has. I think he may still be stuck in the gay/straight dichotomy, thinking that if he just has enough sex with Amazi-Girl, he won’t be attracted to Ethan, and not realizing that he can be attracted to both guys and girls.

          wasn’t the whole “My two platonic friends whom I have no sexual feelings” proof danny does in fact realize he can be attracted to both. If anything i see this as danny beginning to figure out how that realization affects even the typical mundane parts of his life

    Danny is temporarily blinded by some soap in the eyes, so Ethan has to wipe him down and dress him.

    They loudly discuss women the entire time.

    Ethan and Amber spend the next few days taking shifts taking care of Danny, creating numerous moments of confusion where he doesn’t realize they’ve swapped out. Ethan leaves, Amber enters and greets him with a kiss, Danny’s like “Whoa, Ethan’s kissing me” until Amber speaks and he realizes what’s happened. That sort of thing.

    I do not understand why I am attracted to fictional boys, but flesh and blood women. This is a mystery of the ages.

    Anyhow, I am conflicted about the Danny/Ethan.

    On the one hand, I want them to do the do, or at least make out. Or have a kiss. Something, anything, PLEASE! But on the other hand, I really like Amber being happy. I don’t particularly like Amber and Danny together, never really did. They just…to me I don’t see this turning into a long term thing. It has the distinctive air of a fling, and it makes me a bit upset that Amber refuses to be Danny’s girlfriend–only Amazigirl is allowed to date him. I would love them to break up.

    But I don’t want them to break up because Danny lurves Ethan. I feel like that would really rip Amber apart. Not only is a second boy leaving her for dudes, he’s leaving her for her best friend. I would like to see Danny and Ethan hook up post break up. I would really like Amber and Mike to get together.

    I really feel Danny here. He thought he had everything he wanted back, and suddenly something new and undeniable in his life shows up, and he doesn’t know how to deal with it. Plus, the kid seems to have never heard of bisexuality, so he probably thinks he’s sabotaging things with Amber.

    Granted, what I really want is for Ethan to feel Danny.

    “Have I mentioned yet today, how much I don’t care about Danny’s sexuality?”

    Not as far as I know. It’s a little surprising in an abstract sense, since it’s a major plot point and apparently integral to Danny’s character development and presumably you are reading the comic because you’re interested and not because anyone is forcing you to. What’s interesting though is that you would assume that anyone care’s if you care.

    “… he’s currently dating Amber/Amazi-girl, and that makes him, de facto straight”

    And by that logic, since Ethan is dating Joyce that makes him de facto straight as well???

    “So other than to please the Yaoi fangirls, why do we keep having these random gay moment with Danny?”

    Strike three. Definitely not random. Bi moments rather than gay moments by definition. But only to please Yaoi fangirls? Do you not read these comment sections? At all?

        It’s not even about approval. It’s about controlling his identity. He doesn’t think people won’t approve of him…he thinks they’ll approve of The Gay Guy, when he wants to be The Nerd. (Also, looking through the archives to find that strip, the whole Danny-has-a-crush-on-Ethan thing is foreshadowed like a mofo.)

      Danny was never written as having an attraction to men in the Walkyverse, but then again he never said he was straight.

      Considering all that was happening in Roomies at the time and his subsequent fall from main character status and relationship with Billie, one could easily say that Danny never really had time to figure out his attraction to men.

      It’s the same with Becky, really. Her Walkyverse counterpart never expressed any particular sexuality.

    I have one last thing to say on this strip(hopefully): Danny is terrible at hiding his boner. That is THE MOST OBVIOUS WAY EVER. Granted, I do not have a penis, so I can only guess at excellent ways to hide a boner. I would’ve suggested placing the towel in front, so that it looks more natural. Shoving a shower caddy on your dick is not natural.

    At least I don’t THINK it is…

      Maybe Ethan could help him hide it.

      I prefer to go for the hidden in plain sight method. No attempt is made to hide it. Rather, I rely on the inherent awkwardness of someone else pointing it out.

    My college had communal showers. Poor Danny wouldn’t have stood a chance. I still don’t know how I managed.

    Danny must have dealt with communal showers in junior high and high school. I suspect this new “issue” is Ethan-specific.

    Still say they might as well get on with it and create a poly-amorous trio. Ethan and Amber love each other, Amber and Danny are getting there, and Danny and Ethan are becoming friends and are clearly attracted to each other.

The GIJoe Legacy Police Officer is conspicuously absent from today's Classified pre-orders. I wonder if Hasbro is trying to cut a deal with the President to release it in exchange for tariff relief.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

ahh nah, if it does attach on his back, it attaches upside-down from my expected arrangement, so guess that chunk of vehicle mode hanging off his back already is the "cape"

Looks like the shield attaches via 5mm port to his arm, and there IS a 5mm port also on what becomes his back, so... maybe! If it doesn't get covered over in the transformation!
