    to be fair, that ukulele will do a good job of keeping people at least six feet away

        Danny has acquired a new hat, which has grown to consume his entire face (insert FAAAAAACE comments here). He can now only communicate by ukelele.

      Last time I had to bundle like that was a couple years ago on New Year’s Eve. Minus 20 wind chill is no fun. Normal winters usually just call for a heavy jacket and maybe a hat.

        Yeah, I can’t see this as a romantic relationship, since Danny’s such a doormat right now. He definitely needs to find himself before he could be a partner to someone as self-assured and mature as Sal. I mean, look at how the whole Dorothy went.

      He’s an essentially goodhearted kid who occasionally makes huge mistakes, plays ukulele, makes questionable fashion choices, is a bit behind on the maturity scale in regards to his age, associates with girls who are way more badass than he is, and is mostly likable because of what a goofus he is.

      Also, him hanging out with Sal is basically this.

        I have to correct you there: Danny is a selfrighteous prick who makes many mistakes, he plays badly, Steven is more fashionable, Steven is good at making freinds (except when retconned by Future to make something depressing), Steven does become as badass as his adoptive moms, and Danny wishes to be as likeable as Steven.

        Also, Sal isn’t a psychopath… in this universe at least… Walkyverse Sal and Jasper are crazy.

          Steven was never really good at making friends. Mostly because he had a tendency to just ignore anything that didn’t line up with the world the way he saw it. Connie was the only non-gem he managed to bond with naturally.

            Really? Steven got many “moms”, made friends with the cool kids, made friends with Onion, made friends with the adults of Beach City, made friends with his conservative uncle, etc.

            He was a kid, so of course many things wouldn’t fit in his initial world view, but he was a really social being… That is until the stupid retcon of Future.

              Future isn’t really a retcon. Steven’s got kind of a weird gifted kid vibe with social relationships. As a kid, he never had trouble eventually connecting to and relating to people. The cool kids liked him because he was refreshingly honest and relaxed, Onion liked him because he actually spent time with and paid attention to Onion, the adults liked him because he was a surprisingly good ear to listen to, Homeworld Gems like him because he’s kind in a way that they’re very unused to. But more importantly, he also has points of relation to all of them. He relates to Connie’s loneliness and spirit of adventure, he relates to most Beach City residents because he’s grown up around them, he relates to Gems because he *is* a Gem, because he also experiences the horrors of war, because he’s also experienced a lot of loss in his life.

              Enter Future. Steven is meeting Connie’s friends for the first time, and he has *nothing* he can relate to them. They’re ordinary kids with ordinary lives, their life problems are fairly minor and not relevant, the only thing they all have in common is they’re all friends with Connie. And because Steven’s always connected with people so easily, now not only does he not have any idea how to make friends with these people, he has no idea how to even start trying, which leads to him being an awkward mess.

              Honestly, it’s the closest someone like Steven who has no formal schooling is ever going to have to Gifted Kid Problems.

                Also, this cannot be stated enough – STEVEN WAS NOT DOING OKAY IN FUTURE. He had a lot of unresolved trauma and felt like he was the only one who had stagnated and wasn’t sure where to go with his life. It was hard enough watching his friends move on (which kinda kicked his abandonment issues in the teeth) and Steven has a tendency to withdraw and bottle his problems up when he’s upset. It was no wonder to me that he was having a hard time making friends at the time.

              I didn’t say people didn’t like him, but most of those relationships developed through trauma bonding or people just liking his positive attitude.

              But if you look at his relationships with characters closer to his own age, with the exception of Connie, it’s largely him ignoring how the others actually feel and just projecting his own feelings onto them.

      Take it from a self-taught leftie guitarist: The chords are also drawn backwards.

      If you’re right-handed (and chances are you are, it’s simply the odds), they look regular. If you’re a southpaw and you read guitar tabs, you’re already turning them around in your head.

      Very. Some stores can have well over 100 guitars and zero lefty. In nearly 50 years (yikes) I’ve only met one, just one, salesguy at a store who was a lefty. I’m a righty and my only relative who showed any desires to play guitar was my nephew, who picked up my guitar and immediately flipped it over lefty style. I felt so sorry for him. He’s in for a world of hurt. I even bought a lefty guitar and for 2 years tried to learn how to play it that way. Just. Couldn’t. Do. It. I can’t help him find a good guitar because I can’t olay it to judge it like I can a righty.

      It puzzles me a bit that “righty” guitars (and indeed fiddles) are the way round that they are: the left hand has to be /more/ agile than the right!

    This is a weird moment where Comic Time actually works the way opposite that it normally does. Danny, here, is three months removed from irrevocably Doing The Asshole Maneuver but it’s still fresh in all of our minds.

        Also, we can see that he’s taking precautions now to make sure he doesn’t say anything untowards. We’ll just have to hope he doesn’t forget and take it off.

          Your momma’s so equine Mike bought her for a nickel so he could ride her into town?

          Also, are you using Fuck as an adjective, or a verb?

          When I express resentment toward assholes who generally earned karmic punishment, I normally don’t do so to their childhood friends while they’re on their deathbed. That’s, like, collateral karmic punishment? Not my jam. Anyway, here’s me responding to a previous day’s comic because reasons I guess.

    I think that Sal is still in two minds about whether she wants Danny to hang out with her. It will be interesting to see if she ever does come to a final conclusion or if, like most people, she decides that it’s simpler to just let things roll along on their own momentum.

      She probably appreciates how he doesn’t put her on a pedestal or make her live up to an image, but it’s countered by his blandness and tendency to put his foot in his mouth.

        Danny is also one of the few people in the strip who’s relatively drama-free. He doesn’t really have a dark past, hidden agendas, half-healed resentments, or toxic behaviours other than the afore-mentioned tendency to put his foot in his mouth. For somebody who’s tired of having to deal with life’s sh*t (directed at themselves or others), sometimes having a friend or partner who’s just calm, serene, and blessedly free of drama (basically, just “normal”) can feel like a lifesaver.

          Yeah, he’s got a tendency to be a bit self-centered in his romantic interactions, in a rather romcom way (yes Danny, outside his comatose friend’s hospital room is the best time to confess your feelings to someone, just in general,) though not exclusively given the Joe List situation, and the aforementioned foot-in-mouth syndrome usually spawns out of that… but given he’s an 18-19-year-old, that’s basically standard. They’re all little shits. Walky had basically the same ‘dude, wtf’ moment with Dorothy the day before, and Joyce did way worse in the pursuit of a crush via Hijinks with Jacob. By the standards of this cast, he barely rates on the Trauma and Drama Scale.

      I think it’s pretty well established by now that Sal values Danny’s companionship rather than being of two minds about it.

      Wait… if Sal is of two minds now also, could Amber’s problems actually have nothing to do with Blaine? If being around Danny is causing people to have mental health distress to the point of exhibiting severe D.I.D. should he be looked at further, or locked away further?

    I read this as him suggesting the song should be played on Ukulele which hints to me that it might be Hey, Soul Sister.

    Those ARE the infamous four chords so it could be almost any popular song of the last 70 years.

      Sal doing the rhythmn section and Danny doing the lad for REM’s Losing My Religion. There could be no song more guaranteed to finally tip Joyce over the edge into a full blown panic episode.

    I can’t decide if Danny looks like the little brother in “A Christmas Story;” (“I can’t put my arms down!”) or like “The Kid,” in Gahann Wilson’s comic strip; “Nuts!”

Who's that guy over there?
