    Danny is better than I am, I would have punched Joe out for that.

      Joe appears to outweigh Danny by a good 50 lbs of muscle.

      Danny appears to be direly lacking in relationship experience, not survival skills. 😉

    Man, what is Danny’s deal? Assuming we’re ranking out of 10, 7 is perfectly respectable. Better than average!

      Not if she were a video game. Then 7 is an average, and 5 is unplayable.

    Danny in the second panel reminds me of something, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what.

    On the other hand, I crack the hell up every time I look at it, so, good job there.

        I don’t know much about relationships, but I know it’s universally frowned upon to sleep with your friend’s ex. Especially when you really try to rub it in their face instead of asking if maybe they would be okay with it.

    It’s nice to see that Joe is a Universal Constant. Maybe he’s like “The Fallen”? He’s actually the same person in all realities.

        no, wait, Walky is the cheese, and we don’t even know if this universe has a cheese yet.

            Willis did mention that if there’s any constant between the Dumbiverse and the Walkiverse, it would be the Cheese. But he also said the Cheese would most likely be on another planet and never show up.
            Just like Sal.

    Joe’s expression in panel one is feckin’ brilliant. That’s some damn fine line work to get that look out of a few simple squiggles.

    Danny still needs this. He needs to be made to understand that the rest of the world is still steamrollering on, and the longer he stands there shoegazing the closer it gets. This is instructive suffering.

    How comes Joe doesn’t have rosy cheeks? He’s not (as) evil like Mike.

      Maybe he has fat fingers. I know using my iPod Touch is a bongo and a half because I pound two keys at a time and so have to type very carefully.

    First time commenter: Hi! I just found this webcomic.

    A) EXCELLENT!

    B) I’m writing to compliment the artist for that face in the second frame. A remarkable evocation of the hurt, pain, fury that we’ve all known, in just a few lines. Be proud, man!

    I want that Danny face to greet me each time I check my mobile.
    He looks as if he will explode/implode.
