When neediness and naivete are all that’re keeping you from being a completely bland character, you’ve really not got much of a leg to stand on. Although I guess you could turn this sincere effort by Joe to help him into a slashy hurt/comfort fic, after Joe realizes that the only way he’s going to get Danny anyone to bone in order to forget his problems is to offer up himself, but even then, I pretty well see Joe/Danny as unrequited from Danny’s side.
If you read this as if the whiny little-boy-that-doesn’t-understand-adult-relationships (Dan?) is British, he isn’t quite as annoying and he is ALMOST funny.
I’ll read this comic regardless, and I know others will too, but it’s got to be killing Willis that the two characters he’s currently focusing on are the least popular, at least according to his own poll.
Now, if Shortpacked! Mike were Sarah in this position, I’d expect him (her?) to reply with ‘You know, at first I was going to turn you down’ and then grab Danny and start kissing. Using full-tongue action, of course.
SP! Mike tends to be pretty spiteful towards people.
YEAH YOU’RE TOTALLY NOT HOT OR ANYTHING
SHUT UP DANNY
So, no Danny shipping?
I’m guessing they’re all going to walk away single.
He’s just not that interesting… he’s good as a main character, as he’s more of a Johnny Everyman, but… he’s not fun to write in pairings.
At least that’s my two cents. Plus his make-over kind of made him into Male!Joyce1.5 or something.

TBH, I can see it the other way too, though as of right now I can only see him with Joe in terms of shipping at all.
It’s kind of adorable in some ways I think even if it has a 0.2% chance of happening
I smell hatefuck…
as do I.
Don’t we all.
All I smell is bacon and doughnuts.
I’m not entirely sure of what hatefuck smells like, so you may be on to something.
I would imagine it smells sweaty, with other odors mixed in for good measure.
It smells like Peppermint.
Don’t ask. You really don’t want to know.
When this doesn’t turn into a sweaty, overheated, yet needlessly sexy argument in the next strip I will be soo disappointed. 🙁
She’s totally all over his dick
My response from Sarah would’ve been “Not even interested”.
…And that’s why I’m not the writer of the comic.
Ah, I love me a good third panel beat.
Also enjoying Danny’s expressions hereabouts.
Totally Danny’s fault. He shouldn’t have automatically assumed he was getting a date.
That’s the joke.
You suck McBain!
*grenade*
Aww, look. Their first fight!
If you read this as if the whiny little-boy-that-doesn’t-understand-adult-relationships (Dan?) is British, he isn’t quite as annoying and he is ALMOST funny.
Because British accents make everything funnier?
Not necessarily funnier, just better.
Dan, you sure know how to make a lady feel special, don’t you?
I’ll read this comic regardless, and I know others will too, but it’s got to be killing Willis that the two characters he’s currently focusing on are the least popular, at least according to his own poll.
We are talking about the same Willis who’s inspired countless cries of “Damn you!” from his readers, right?
Tomorrow I’m killing off everyone except Sarah and Danny. Drunken car accidents. No regrets.
dam, i bet you’re going to have Ruth be the killed driver. again..
Yes, but count Danny and Sarah’s votes together and they end up sandwiched in-between Ruth and Billie. Not bad by any means.
Sounds like a fun foursome.
…For Danny.
Sarah is being quite reasonable here but she still annoys me so much.
yeah i agree with you, something about her just gets me irritated >.<
It would have never worked out…he’s too short for her.
I honestly expected Sarah to say “Okay… and who are you again?”
If only I could go back to the poll and vote for Sarah to show up more. She’s sane.
Now, if Shortpacked! Mike were Sarah in this position, I’d expect him (her?) to reply with ‘You know, at first I was going to turn you down’ and then grab Danny and start kissing. Using full-tongue action, of course.

Tsundere? Tsundere.
If anything, he should be more sorry.
