Cover by who¿
You didn’t get the e-vite? We’re all doing it.
Slipshine or GTFO
figures a TCAF would get in the way
But wait, now it’s Carla’s turn to bust in and creampie them both before being chased by Amazi-Girl for littering, turning into the dreaded Scooby Doo chase slipshine!
Carla’s gonna what now?
Throw pies at them. Get your mind outta the gutter.
Honestly she would
They’re lucky she hasn’t already.
The other one’s fine for a slipshine story
Yeah! Get your mind outta the gutter! You’re blocking my view!
I don’t think she’s interested in doing that to Danny
Those damn Canadians!
“The Fast and the Impersonal” was an alternative title proposal for “The Fast and the Furious” film series…
Dom Toretto saying, “distant associate,” doesn’t have the same vibe as, “family,” though.
Slipshine AND Get The Fuck On.
They’re gonna cuddle so hard, the filthy degenerates.
Might also hold hands, dirty pervs that they are.
I bet there’s gonna be a forehead kiss, too. Disgusting.

THAT IS JuST DOWNRIGHT.
*AFFFFFFFECTIONAAAAAATE.*
Fucking CALLED it (regarding the alt text)
Anyways this is adorable. Soft Sal is great.
Sal is so fakey.
Malaya is spying from the closet, saying the exact same thing.
Dressed as Joe, for some reason.
Almost always dressed as Superman.
Also can’t fucking wait for new season of My Adventures with Superman!!! ^^
(STIMMING SO MUCH YEEEEE)
Malaya (when in girlmode) would make a good My Adventures with Superman Lois.
I dunno. MAWS Lois already seems NB-coded to me kinda?
Danny’s “No-one else is here” does seem to at least imply that Joyce is still listening through the door at this pont, but it is not clear if the door is actually still open.
door has to be open, Dana’s behind it
Oh dang.
Oh daaaaaaang.
Sal’s going to scratch the shit out of his shoulders, and then Joe and everyone else Danny knows will congratulate him by slapping him on the shoulder.
Repeatedly.
Sal, you don’t have to go full Bang Dupree. Not that we would mind. But you don’t HAVE to.
where is the damned “like” button when i need it!
“Bang Dupree” is great here.
I thought about using Bangladesh… but under the circumstances…
Oh Danny, good sex is a performance.
That’s why Bards are so good at it.
Yes it is. And sometimes it’s a performance in Iambic Pentameter (Poetry groupies are weird).
Dangit, now I gotta find (or write) a porn in iambic pentameter.
breathe GRUNT breathe GRUNT breathe MOAN breathe HO-ly SHIT
In the same way dancing is, sure.
I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM.
I may post longer thoughts later but yes, I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM
SAMESIES 🥹
hehehe guys.
I think literally every time someone has come onto Danny, he’s been on his back.
Danny a service top confirmed?
There was that one time he was hanging upside down.
Did you think Danny was going to be the dom? In literally any of his relationships?
whoops, wrong link, sorry reported
anyway: Danny as a Pushy Bottom, I can TOTALLY believe
Not an actual dom, but not all sexual encounters have to have a dom and a sub. Sal’s completely over the top “top” approach here is obviously a facade, but I suspect it goes farther than that and that she’d actually really like it if she could relax enough to let her partner take the lead, at least sometimes. Her top approach may be mostly a defense mechanism in sex as it is in relationships.
I’m kinda bummed that the slipshine is going to be them. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still rebuy and read it, but still, we’ve seen them both before in the comics.
Danny’s become a bit of a regular!
They’re established characters, of course we’ve seen them in the comics before!
I assume ty34er meant the Slipshine comics?
Woosh.

I’m kind of surprised Willis didn’t tease us by announcing an upcoming Slipshine earlier in the week before he switched to Sal & Danny.
Did anyone else load this page and see the all-red background in panel 2 and have a momentary freak out that something traumatic was happening?
What makes you think this isn’t? Is Danny really over whoever was after AG? I really don’t remember who that was but then I don’t remember a lot of things since the truck hit me.
A-are you okay?
Meet Opus, the Poet who defied death.
Don’t forget, I’m also Willis’ Army of Unkillable Badass, and my ceremonial Indian name is Truck Killer. I forget which tribe gave me that name, but it’s one of the ones in the south part of OK. And now I have two names other than what my parents gave me.
I’m OK-ish, no unreduced fractures and the ligaments are as healed as they will get. The TBI is as good as it will get, but it aged my brain functions prematurely. And it cost me the ability to hear rhyme and meter as I write, so anything poetic is strictly by accident now. And as I pointed out upthread my memory is shot now. But the wreck was in 2001, what’s left now is stuff that will never heal.
…. did you just have a red panel moment about previous red panel moments?
Way to go, Danny.
YEEEEEEEEEE
S
Guess I was wrong, yesterday. Danny called her on her “hard candy shell” and found out she’s actually a softy at heart. C’mon, don’t let anything “screw” this up.
Don’t let anything “intercourse” this up.
Don’t let anything “hanky-panky” this up.
and now I am envisioning this as Raggedy Andy x Raggedy Ann
CURSE YOU
Time to let her melt in your mouth, Danny…
Oops I don’t need an apostrophe in my name. Just wanted to say how cute they are and how sweet Danny is. What a lovable dork.
They both absolutely deserve everything that this is.
You know, Danny’s good at this stuff. Like, part of me just wanted to post “Danny is perhaps more fuckable than one might expect”, but at this point… maybe we should expect it.
wonder if there’d be a fanpoll of “most fuckable to most unfuckable” lol, regular popularity polls aside XD
Mary is at the bottom. Well, out of the living.
Mike’s corpse is more fuckable than Mary. (No one can tell me Mike wouldn’t approve this message.)
That’s…fair.
Mary is hot as hell, once you shut her up.
You know Mary is a secret slut, and a sub who needs to be dommed. I wouldn’t because I am not into those kinds of dynamics. But you know she wants it.
Do ya think so? She strikes me more as the type to switch on a case by casis, but to also be kinda mad about it regardless (while still participating of her own free will, confusing everyone involved).
she’ll end up having 4-5+ kids like joyce’s mom did assuming she also doesn’t ‘believe in birth control’
https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/8a30e048-5d3d-477c-af7c-c97ac6d2fe94 (arrested development)
She’s not physically unattractive, but her being a terrible person more than makes up for it.
I mean, having “did it hanging upside down from a grappling hook with a super hero” is a pretty damn solid sex-resume headliner (with a subtitle of “good egg”)
In many Slavic languages “egg” is slang for testicle. Just throwing it out there:D
Okay, Sal, I’m pretty sure the jacket has to come off first before you can take your shirt off all sexy-like.
(How did all these kids get to college without learning how to undress themselves?)
the *squeak* leather jacket stays *squeak* awn during sex
it’s fairly like taking the bra off while leaving the shirt on; they’re not topologically inside or outside each other
Well, a bra can be opened at the back. A shirt cannot. Taking it off requires pulling your arms through; if your arms are inside the sleeves of the jacket at the time, the jacket is most likely going to fall off. Apparently it still hasn’t in panel 4.
Sure, but all the weird contortions to get the sleeve to go over the hand through the other sleeve don’t exactly qualify as “sexy-like”.
Or she could pull them both off at the same time, because the emphasis is on fast and impersonal?
…. I don’t know how both-at-same-time is impersonal, but it at least fits the fast definition. … for some definitions of fast.
Ah yes. The ol’ Sal Special.
Meant to link this

Damnit. Fucked up twice.
OK, if he was listening AT ALL there is no way he should have not realised she was “working on her grade” there – she TOLD him she knew what he was judging her based on. That they both wanted to get out of there. That she thought the quickest way to make both of them happy was for her to jump him because he wasn’t actually going to help her with her maths…
She USED HER WORDS. I am cross.
I always thought that Jason DID understand, and it’s the commenters that want to give him plausible deniability. His defense when confronted about it later is that he only agreed to have sex. There was no genuine surprise about the quid-pro-quo nature of it.
I’d remembered it as Sal basically saying “it’s been a long dry spell. I’m horny. Tutoring is getting us nowhere, let’s do something different” and him taking that as “forget about the tutoring, let’s hook up” – then being “ooh, can’t let it affect grading, better get Penny to mark her work in future” after (I’m sure he seemed surprised? He told her when she complained about the mark that he’d have given her better than that for the sex if he’d realised?? Or am I misremembering that too?)
“Mark me on this instead”
“Sex sounds good”
…
“Hey, I only agreed to sex, not to sex for grades!”
Is so much more URRGH!! Than “hot young adult is talking while getting undressed and man fails to listen to the words and thinks she’s into him for himself, even though he’s been nothing but a condescending jackass towards her, and misreads situation due to his own ego and inability to think with his brain when blood is suddenly diverted to his groin” – and honestly, that’s still pretty gross and it should be possible to unilaterally expect better from people…
I’m not going to defend Jason or his choice here, but in that moment I suspect he wasn’t paying careful attention to her words.
It was a poor decision for both of them, and Sal wasn’t putting much effort into explaining exactly what kind of deal she wanted to make.
But Jason is the one with a job that absolutely requires him to back out of the situation, regardless of anything Sal did or did not say.
Re: Alt-Text YESSSSS!!!!! It’s that time of year again!

*plays “Starlight Festival” from Super Mario Galaxy on hacked muzak*
ok I was afraid this was going to be kind of terrible but it is increasingly clear that this is actually two people who actually Get Each Other and therefore is probably going to be wonderful for both of them.
it helps that they’re an established couple versus friends that have flirted a couple times and sal just grabbing him bc he was nearby lol
Aw they’re cute!
Enter: The Fuck Zone
she controls the horizontal
he controls the vertical
in a minute, anyway
clothes get in the way
Ha-! Fecking brilliant.
New meaning of “chicks dig scars.”
oh, that’s a good one
I fucking love these two together, holy shit.
I love how they can make this ridiculous subject of conversation a topic of heated sexy debate
Y’all have no idea how much I had to bite my tongue about this when people were going on about whether or not Danny would REALLY want this to be his first time with Sal
also, huge DS9 Klingon sex episode energy in the best possible way
These two, love them
There’s the vibe. DS9 and Klingons. Thank you, it’s actually been bugging me why I couldn’t pin that down.
Unlike Sal. Who can absolutely pin Danny down.
Fortunately for Danny he is unlikely to land in the medbay with a long list of contusions…. unlike Quark.
I dunno, Sal is offering some pretty attractive contusions in the final panel
Broken ribs are fortunately not among them… I hope XD
As long as these two are on the same page on the plan!
Y’know, so it hurts more when Willis breaks them up somehow to torture us.
Oh my, our little Danny can play that game
…Is she wearing a red bra under a white tee?
Under a blue(ish) jacket. Because she’s a Patriot.
I’m just assuming the trousers and bustier are one piece, which would lead to hilarity when she tries to get out of the bottom half of the outfit to actually do things.
What bustier?
I’ve seen a lot of influencers say red is actually the best colour to wear under white to avoid it showing.
Haven’t tested it irl but the way colour works is just wacky enough that I could believe it.
Probably depends on both skin tone and shade of red. For someone darker-skinned like Sal, sounds believable to be honest.
There is a popular notion that a red bra is least visible under a white t-shirt.
Hehehe. They’re gonna Do It™.
Hopefully they don’t get sued by Nike.
Alt: So, not Joyce and Joe, I guess.
It’s early days for them anyway. I know people have been frothing at the mouth for Joeyce to do the Big Fuck™ already, but I’d kinda be disappointed if one under-the-blankets booby grope immediately led to PiV.
I would be kind of impressed to see Willis fully explore the raw sensuality of a straight couple doing nothing but slightly awkward hand stuff for twenty pages.
…
I’d buy it.
Definitely I want to see a pornographique where Joyce and Joe are cuddling, groping, and snuggling.
“Get a room!!… oh you’re in a room already, carry on”
Fast and impersonal? Even one-night stands don’t run like that…
Maybe yours don’t.
You can definitely have fast and impersonal one night stands (or sex in general). Not all sex is for intimacy and connection.
They can but it really depends on your personal feelings about sex. Not everyone is able to detach and treat it that way.
Mannnn, don’t get all strung out trying to be hard or soft on purpose. Ya gotta groove with the flow, let your body do the talkin, dig?
Phew. That was touch and go for a moment there, where Danny seemed a little put off by Sal’s frantic energy. But by the end of this one they seem to be in a really good spot, both of them sexy-talking like equals who are both excited.
It’s just really nice to see happy people having happy sex, okay?!? We don’t get that in fiction too often!
Yeah, i won’t deny i expect a Willis curve-ball of some kind to knock things a kilter. This has been my surprise low-key favourite relationship recently so i’m constantly scared it’s gonna get screwed up.
Danny knows how to roll with whatever comes his way, moment by moment.
His prior relationships ended when he brought serious issues with the relationship to the surface.
awwwwww!!!!! That’s so sweet!
… okay seriously this is fucking adorable.
Danny teasing her by saying “I will tell people you are gentle” is just CUTE.
“I’ll tell everyone we gently made love”
Like the doctor asking about the scars?
It’s absolutely the perfect counter to Sal’s bad girl vibes. Danny can go blow-for-blow with her with sly, dweeby good boy power.
“Fucking adorable”. Apropos.
and then a 3rd, unrelated couple, barge him to interrupt again
I sure hope the couple is unrelated, this isn’t Game of Thrones.
This is like 20 years in the making since Sal x Danny in roomies, it’s weird to be a walkyverse fan watching one initially alt ship that’s dumbiverse canon getting shoved aside in a curveball for a *separate* walkyverse-alt-but-dumbiverse-canon ship to seal the deal.
Trying to interpret the references: the first one was Joe/Joyce, the second one was Walky/Sal? Got it.
*after sex*
“now turn around so ah can knife your back and leave some nice traces”
“Actually Sal, if you just knife my hand, we can be scar buddies”
Okay, but that’s actually kinda hot, in a fucked-up way?
taffy, discovering themselves in the comments
oh-no.jpg
Sal, you already have the reputation of being hot for math tutors:)
Heh, and that’s the most appropriate random avatar, really
Sal and Danny: A Slipshine decades in the making
DANNY BEING SUAVE now I’ve seen it all.
In his own way. But it works. And as much as I enjoy Sal’s panel with the red bra, the last two are my favorites (can’t pick). They’re adorable.
Danny just blurting out exactly what he wants is weirdly nice
Danny just blurting out what Sal wants is weirdly nice too.
COMMUNICA-TION!!1!
I like how Danny – nerdy, unassuming little Danny — has now had sex with the three most bas ass women in the story. This checks with my experience. It’s guys like this who are honestly interested in women (and men) and who, whatever their insecurities, can stand themselves and are essentially OK with themselves who get laid. A lot. And by very interesting women. Joe certainly beats Danny in numbers of partners, but Danny has better sex with more interesting women. I also like how we’ve established that Danny is, by now, a very good lover. I bet he surprises Sal.
My observations and experiences support your theory.
First of all, to your main point? Yes.
Second, regarding what might be inferred about the fine details of your ranking of the most badass women in the story, above all other contenders, I will now present approximately 7300 words of carefully parsed pedantry to prove that your rankings, while not wholly counterintuitive, are not precisely accu- *vaudeville hook*
I don’t know about “more interesting”. He’s been with 3 main characters admittedly, but Joyce is the main and both Malaya and Roz are interesting, if mostly sidelined.
He’s almost certainly had more interesting sex than Joe – the grappling hook experience and some references to toys with AG. Probably more so than Sal as well.
“Wonderbread” might well wind up blowing her mind instead.
Did you read the Malaya/Joe sex story and the Roz/Joe sex story? Not very interesting sex, in my opinion. All partners were way too into themselves.
I like how Sal really has dropped the facade – saying “my public image” instead of “mah public image”
Accents can change over time without conscious decision.
I don’t think she faked the accent, it’s just that it’s fading since she’s been away from that school for half a year now

That was meant to be a reply to a comment, but I think it works equally here. Big ups, DeeDub.
holy FUCK why am I DORKSEXUAL
A specific subset of sapiosexual, I think.
it’s the hat. the lack of it anyway.
This means Dorothy got her ex, Danny laid, by getting drunk with Joyce.
A specific subset of sapiosexual, I think.
Can’t wait to see what the image to replace Becky fingering Dina will be once the new Pornographique comes out.
Fast gentle scars.
I, like Danny, welcome those scars
Might be the steamiest comic yet, to me.
Oh, these two are going to have an amazing time together, aren’t they.
