      I had a guy I used to work with try to convince me of that. It backfired on him. Later on, a girl drove up through the drive thru with her dad in the other seat, he tried to get me to get her number, I said NO! So he did it instead. The dad looked like he was ready to fly out of his seat and pummel him. I was TICKED at him needless to say! I’m just a normal Christian who would like to get to know someone first as a friend basis before going all hey go out with me.

    I really like this one, for some reason. Maybe it’s because panel two finally gets Danny back around to what he’s best at, which is moralizing at people. Bonus points for doing it at Joe, who we all know couldn’t care less.

    It raises an interesting question, though, which is why exactly Danny and Joe are best friends. I can’t imagine this is the first time any version of the two had this sort of conversation, and while I can see Danny being patient with Joe’s behavior it’s harder to see Joe not just getting pissed at Danny after a while and ditching him.

    On a similar note, I went back and reread my Roomies! volume 1, and now the moping around doesn’t seem as out-of-character as it first appeared. Which leaves us with his completely idiotic behavior back in October as my only real gripe, though given how long he stays attached to Sal after the break-up it does make a degree of sense. I guess I never thought he was that stupid/oblivious about it, though it is an AU so the point’s moot anyway.

    I suspect Willis just needed to settle back into a groove, as far as the more “classic” characters were concerned.

    • Eri

      December 21, 2010 at 12:50 am | #

      I do believe that the question of why those two are best friends has been raised before in Roomies, but then again different people aren’t exactly allergic to each other.

      One could also think that Joe is everything (or at least just the part that he’s more socially adept than Danny… If you consider being ‘Joe’ socially adept, that is) Danny wishes to be, but instead of being more like him, he lectures Joe. Because that’s what Danny does. (He’s also aware that it’s not very nice behavior)

      Just for the record, I like Danny.

      And of course, there’s also the fact that Joe doesn’t only think of banging girls 24/7, he also has his nerdy side. Which brings me another question, has he already decided to major in engineering or will he still have this breakthrough?

      Big reply is big, sorry -_-

        Yes, the question was raised in Roomies! Redux, and the conclusion they came to was that they have the same taste in movies.

        Me and my best friend are as different as night and day as far as basic personality, so I know firsthand that thinking like each other isn’t a prerequisite for being buddies. I just think it’s odd Joe never got sick of Danny, who probably gives him shit all the time about morals and consequences.

        I like Danny too. I voted for him on the poll and was quite sad to see that only Sarah was below him. (But not like that, due to yesterday’s strip.)

        Joe’s probably already majoring in engineering, as Willis said he didn’t want to rehash old plotlines so he’s probably come to terms with his nerdiness.

        And it’s fine, my OP was quite long too.

    Old Joe pretty much was random, as far as I could tell, and all about what was easy– hooking up with Sarah made sense for him at the time. It wasn’t until his later involvement with Joyce that he started to show a bit more nuance.

    New Joe shows an admirable charm and tactical mind, even if it is given to understatement (“kind of sexually timid?” Yes, like a monk).

    It’s kind of beautiful how Joe can be so much smarter than his previous incarnation at this stage of his life, and still walk right into the path of that GIANT TRUCK FULL OF HAMMERS.

      I didn’t see Joe as random at all. It wasn’t until after the life-changing event of SEMME that he pondered anything other than ethical hedonism. Joyce was initially the only one who he recognized and was friendly after he went through the traumatic experience of becoming dead to the world. It felt right that he might become interested in her.

      His shirt has more than one yellow stripe (it can be clearly seen a couple of strips ago). And even if it did have just the one yellow stripe, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s related to Semme. Semme probably doesn’t even exist in this reality.

      Willis likes the yellow stripe and just puts it in scenes without thinking after doing Roomies/Its Walky! for so long?

    Just when I think Joe can’t seem any more sleazy, he proves me wrong. And even if he did seem to have some sort of plan to his madness… He honestly comes off as the sort of person who will one day be that creepy guy in a bar with the open shirt and chest hair, trying to pic up girls half his age.

    And Danny… is it me or does he not EVER hear when other people are speaking to him. I mean, at what point did Joe say anything about “dating” Sarah. He only asked if Danny was going to “score”. Seems to me that Joe’s made it clear quite often that he’s not trying to help Danny into a new relationship, he’s just trying to get him laid.

    Danny doesn’t seem to realize that sex and dating are not always the same thing. One would think after being best friends with Joe, he’d understand that.

      I think Danny emphatically doesn’t decouple sex and dating precisely because Joe DOES. He doesn’t have to mention this and jumps to the end of the argument because they’ve had this argument before.

        …The key is his penis.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

JUST IN: Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan moves to dismiss federal criminal case against her for allegedly helping immigrant hide from ICE. Her lawyers say she's protected by official acts & judicial immunity and 10th Amendment. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action

It's #webcomicday? We have a special day??? Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.
