            I put cheap first, just so that would conjure an image of manufactured fake people. Like cheap RealDolls.
            China also has horrible human rights violations in the manufacturing plants, working their workers beyond what is safe and sane. I’m very glad I had the privilege to be born into a financially secure family in an industrialized country.

        Don’t be so sure. You’re making the incorrect belief that only desperate people who no one else will voluntarily want to have sex with, have sex with prostitutes. And he belief that Joe has standards.

        I mean, do you know how many smart, handsome and charismatic men who can have any sort of woman, have been caught with hookers? Just look at Hollywood Celebrities.

        Joe a 100% sexually driven person. He’ll have sex with any and all woman, regardless of age, personality or occupation. Sure, I’ll conceed that most of his sex life has been with girls who were more than happy to volunteer their services free of charge (at least that’s what we’re ASSUMING in this comic. Remember, alternate-universe. For all we know, in this universe he’s actually a virgin who just talks big).

        But considering how blase Joe is regarding emotional connections, as opposed to physical ones, he could easily be one of those kinds of guys who’ll have sex with a prostitute, solely because he gets to have sex. It could easily be a check-list of woman who he wants to do before he dies.

        Also, he’ll probably think the bragging rights to that are like a man’s badge of honor.

    Granted Danny might not appreciate as much as you might want him to given the fact you still haven’t put on trousers and are topless.

    All the homosexual innuendo about Dan wanting Joe to put on pants, and here we have this image of Joe crouching over Dan, and nothing? Nothing? Come on, DoA readers! Even I saw this one and I’m not usually one to read homosexual subtext in anything.

      By “innuendo” I mean “outright saying it.” I’m not sure why I called it “innuendo.”

        Don’t worry about it. Even innuendo gave up being subtle a long time ago.

    I love Joe’s indignation in the last panel.

    I don’t see how Joe would be a good wingman. It seems like they’d go out, and everyone would go to Joe.

    Danny just doesn’t have a lot of charisma right now.

      He’s got to punt the fuglies somewhere.

        Doesn’t that go against finding Danny a hot girl?

        Also, with the betting who will be down there, I’m going with Joe and Dorothy having arranged for Joyce to be there.

    …Never change, Joe. Never change.

    (Also: Dammit, Willis, why are you so awesome? I just spent six hours archive-crawling Shortpacked! and I really don’t need to follow anymore webcomics.)

    Heh, I heard Patrick Warburton’s voice in the last panel. I see I was not the only one. Also, love the FAAAAAAACE that Joe makes.

        I honestly don’t know why, but in my head, Joe sounds like the voice of Chef from South Park.

        This is probably a sign of a grave mental defect.

    If Joe is Danny’s wingman, then Dan’s Mavrick and Joe’s Goose.

    And we all remember what happened to Goose.

    Or would Joe=Iceman, and thus his assholeness be suddenly explained??

    It just occurred to me that this girl he’s going to try to get him is Joyce…

    This sounds like the greatest untold story, involving the prostitute, Silly String, a car chase, and a small fire.

    Joe probably waited to apologize until after he had sex with the prostitute.
