She’s gone through Danny’s window before, she just choose a different entry angle this time for romantic dramatic effect and it didn’t work out as well as she hoped.
Basically she’d have to back out first, which at best would be awkward and at worst would risk plummeting, because she doesn’t have the right leverage or support balance. If it’s gonna be awkward anyway, might as well just take assistance
Certainly, but saying it in front of somebody is quite different than telling friends while that someone is not around. Joe has not objected, and has heard the term, what, 2x?
Becky and Dina kissed first, and then picked up the gf term the next day, which is a difference (at least to some of us). I’ve never called someone a gf without kissing first. (I’m not young and have no idea how anyone under 40 works this kind of situation btw.)
I’m 27 and I have called someone a girlfriend without kissing, but we met online and had a 3 hour-ish distance between us, so we developed the emotional connection needed to go steady via texting a video calls.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that if you and the other person feel like going steady, and you both agree to it, then that’s all that’s needed. Any other steps or criteria that weren’t discussed when agreeing to go steady are irrelevant, the only opinions about whether your relationship is going too fast or whether steps have been skipped that matter are those of the people directly involved in said relationship.
And yes, I’m aware “steady” in this context is archaic, I’m trying to bring it back because it removes a lot of unnecessary ambiguity and it’s more efficient to say “you wanna go steady?” than it is to say “you wanna become exclusive and/or committed boyfriend/girlfriend and/or significant others?”. Not that that whole statement is what I expect people to say, I just wanted to include the various permutations I could think of, but no combination of them is as brief and to the point as “you wanna go steady?” and other phrasings are annoyingly ambiguous, potentially leading to pointless fights based on miscommunications.
Stupid brain thinking faster than I type and constantly making me go back and edit as I think about more stuff to add in the middle of already made points
Joe appears to have been deputized here. Somehow I don’t think he minds. Interested to see if he freaks out a little when the reality sets in and his self-doubt follows. Could be a great moment between him and Dan.
I can’t tell if Sal waited until Joyce left becsuse she brought up the fact that Sal might need help and that hurt her pride or if it’s because Joyce is like Sal’s biggest fan.
Maybe she accepts that since he lives there too he’s definitely going to see her needing help through at some point, no reason to put it off, but since Joyce doesn’t she never needs to know.
Joe is large and could be necessary for the unsticking process, plus he’s not likely to leave immediately since he just got back to his room. Definitely the smarter call than remaining there indefinitely and relying on Dan to lift her out safely.
Batman looks disappointed in Sal. I mean she has the wearing sick leather and punching bad guys part down, but squeezing through three-story windows is like 40% of being a brooding vigilante.
Joe likes superheroes to an extent, too, like he’s mentioned Superman being something cool Jewish people came up with that Christians ruined, albeit somewhat facetiously. Bill Finger and Bob Kane are also Jewish, so Batman would be included in this.
A third wheel, in this context, is a person who (knowingly or not) partecipates and interrupts a romantic outing between two other people, killing the romantic mood.
Like, if you saw two people cuddling on a couch and joined them to watch a movie, you could be called a third wheel.
Being the third wheel in a situation sucks mostly for you, not for the others. Like, Sal and Danny, it is assumed by OP, are so fascinated with each other that they will ignore Joe.
The metaphor i guess is that of a bike, where two wheels are all that’s needed so the idea is that a third wheel is useless and redundant.
My 2 cents: this is a heteroromantic-normative view. It assumes that Danny will be more interested in his gf than in his best buddy. Me personally, if I’m with someone ive been smooching for a week and my best friend ever in a room, i’m not sure its my bff who’s likeliest to feel like a third wheel
You can be called a third wheel for any sort of couple, not just heterosexual ones. I’d say it’s more along the lines of society still working through its ‘people are lusty monsters that must control themselves at all times’ feelings.
Agree with your definition. It’s not about cockblocking the couple, it’s about the third wheel being frozen out of an interaction because the other pair too focused on each other. There’s also an implication that the third wheel is trying to do something with the couple — often in terms of going out to do some activity (which then often feels like a date you just happen to be in the vicinity of) but also in just hanging out at home as a group. It’s usually, but not *necessarily*, romantic between the first two wheels, and you can definitely get third wheeled by two very close friends who just chat and joke with each other, especially if they have a lot of in-jokes.
You’re not allowed to be where you live if other people are also there. Does English even have a word for that? A standalone one, not a term or phrase or anything, one single word that means “I’m at home while someone else (who isn’t me) is also in my home”. I really don’t think it has even one example of that.
Jonathan Joss being shot outside his home while protecting his husband after being sent a threatening and distressing package is WHY we need Pride
It's 2025 and people are still being shot and killed for being queer
This is why we march and why we fight
the thing about white liberal Americans is that they'll argue to accept bigots into their tent before accepting the bigots' targets.
the targets that have been on the same side as white liberals from the jump.
John Redcorn was pretty much the only contemporary Native representation I had in comedy growing up. Probably the funniest Native character in cartoon history and a lot of that was on Jonathan Joss' pitch perfect rezzy uncle performance. RIP to one of the best to ever do it.
today in #9chickweedlane i learned that, yes, lolly is so edda 2.0 that she's even wearing her mother's wedding dress as she gets married to Her Dad (But Taller)

the big disconnect that happens here is between the correct message for D politicians (especially in red states), which is “you’re right, this isn’t who you are, you’re better than that, vote differently next time”

Pay no attention to the Sal behind the curtain
(how is Sal stuck, are guy dorm windows smaller)
Her heart swelled three sizes that day, and therefore…
probably a foothold thing.
It did look like a pretty narrow window
I guess you have valid case-ment for that argument….
Her arms are cramping because she stayed in that position too long.
She got caught like a toggle bolt, halfway through the tilting mechanism.
Guessing she got distracted and the window closed on her
“Ah’m gettin’ too old fer this….”
She’s gone through Danny’s window before, she just choose a different entry angle this time for

This comment is even better when I read it in Perv-O-Vision.
“hElP mE sTeP-sOmEtHiNg I aM sTuCk In ThE wInDoW”
Wow, the new gravatar is just really purrfect for that comment, lol
Step-granma, step-third cousin, step-pet, step-friend, step-acquaintance, step-stranger, step-Senator, step-Empress, step-cashier, step-officer, step-neighbor.
And so on.
Yeah you can’t really lean most of the way through a window like that, you either go through or not.
Boyfriend huh
That was fast
It happens quick I guess when you have two people playing emotional footsies for months.
at least she’s not calling him a fiancé yet lol
This is Joyce we’re talking about. There ARE no stages between “Crush” and “Boyfriend/Girlfriend”. At least she’s not talking marriage… Yet.
And as fast as this is, Becky and Dina were faster, right. Didn’t they meet and adopt the “girlfriend” label, like, the very next day or something?
Certainly, but saying it in front of somebody is quite different than telling friends while that someone is not around. Joe has not objected, and has heard the term, what, 2x?
Becky and Dina kissed first, and then picked up the gf term the next day, which is a difference (at least to some of us). I’ve never called someone a gf without kissing first. (I’m not young and have no idea how anyone under 40 works this kind of situation btw.)
They held hands and she admitted she liked his tush. Close enough I guess
I’m 27 and I have called someone a girlfriend without kissing, but we met online and had a 3 hour-ish distance between us, so we developed the emotional connection needed to go steady via texting a video calls.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that if you and the other person feel like going steady, and you both agree to it, then that’s all that’s needed.

*texting AND video calls
Stupid brain thinking faster than I type and constantly making me go back and edit as I think about more stuff to add in the middle of already made points
Malaya walking past the open door: Fakey!
*checks* Oh wow, that is stuck. Sal could be the next Halle Berry with how she pulled that off.
*also checks the punctuations in panel 4*
Periods? Danny, Sal, if you have a problem with Joyce, you HAVE a problem with Joyce.
JOYCE.
So, which couple is more adorable here?
Here, specifically? Sal/Danny.
Lucky for Sal she’s stuck high enough in the air that this has no chance of turning into the plot of a bad porno.
A terrible porno, on the other hand..
True. Last time Danny was with a young woman this high up, it was an excellent porno.
I don’t think she has a stepbrother.
Somehow, Joyce returned.
Bold comment on this May the Fourth / Revenge of the Fifth.
Joe appears to have been deputized here. Somehow I don’t think he minds. Interested to see if he freaks out a little when the reality sets in and his self-doubt follows. Could be a great moment between him and Dan.
In the absence of a stepbrother, Joe and Danny can save the day.
Stepbrother or stepladder?
Snrrk, amazing.
Other way, you’re fucked.
Joefriend
Joyfriend?
BoyJoe
I would love if she called him her BoyJoe, just since she’d try to be cool and shorten it before telling Sarah or Dorothy, “It’s BJ Time!”
Everyone gets talky,
When Becky, Sal and Walky,
See me with this boy I know.
He once made a list,
That got folks pissed,
But now he’s my boyfrend Joe.
He’s my boyjoe, boyjoe,
I’m out with my boyjoe, boyjoe,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday night.
I’m getting flashbacks to when Faye tried and failed to call Angus her boyfriend and got “boyfling” by the end of it.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I can’t tell if Sal waited until Joyce left becsuse she brought up the fact that Sal might need help and that hurt her pride or if it’s because Joyce is like Sal’s biggest fan.
Sal has taken a few Ls lately, and she really needs to not add “Joyce doesn’t think I’m cool anymore” to the pile.
I’m kinda surprised that Sal is okay with Joe dealing with this, but I guess she might be cutting losses.
Joe is there, but I was assuming she was talking to Danny.
Maybe she accepts that since he lives there too he’s definitely going to see her needing help through at some point, no reason to put it off, but since Joyce doesn’t she never needs to know.
Joe is large and could be necessary for the unsticking process, plus he’s not likely to leave immediately since he just got back to his room. Definitely the smarter call than remaining there indefinitely and relying on Dan to lift her out safely.
Batman looks disappointed in Sal. I mean she has the wearing sick leather and punching bad guys part down, but squeezing through three-story windows is like 40% of being a brooding vigilante.
I wonder who the Batman fan is though. I don’t think either Joe or Danny has mentioned him yet…
I believe it was Danny who was into superheroes. Until suddenly he wasn’t.
Joe likes superheroes to an extent, too, like he’s mentioned Superman being something cool Jewish people came up with that Christians ruined, albeit somewhat facetiously. Bill Finger and Bob Kane are also Jewish, so Batman would be included in this.
…you’re really staying there as a 3rd wheel, Joe ?
I never quite understood the concept of a 3rd wheel socially, can someone please clarify?
Asking for an autista who is me.
A third wheel, in this context, is a person who (knowingly or not) partecipates and interrupts a romantic outing between two other people, killing the romantic mood.
Like, if you saw two people cuddling on a couch and joined them to watch a movie, you could be called a third wheel.
That’s not quite the way i use the phrase myself?
Being the third wheel in a situation sucks mostly for you, not for the others. Like, Sal and Danny, it is assumed by OP, are so fascinated with each other that they will ignore Joe.
The metaphor i guess is that of a bike, where two wheels are all that’s needed so the idea is that a third wheel is useless and redundant.

Thanks, Paul.

It is Joe’s room and there’s no sock on the door.
Once again, Sierra curses her self-inflicted situation.
Joe probably knows that Danny needs help getting Sal in the window.
Joe as third wheel?
The world, it turns.
He lives there
You’re not allowed to be where you live if other people are also there. Does English even have a word for that? A standalone one, not a term or phrase or anything, one single word that means “I’m at home while someone else (who isn’t me) is also in my home”. I really don’t think it has even one example of that.
I thought singular overly-specific words was German’s schtick.
So did Sal make her way from her dorm across the side of the building, or did she climb down to the ground and back up again?
Really, Sal. This is just sill-y.
Argh! Well done.
We should close this right now. Well, after Danny and Joe get Sal out.
Don’t make light of this situation! It’s a pain for all involved!
Well, sure, if you want to frame the situation that way…
I sure hope Joe and Joyce agreed to those labels on the way here!
*Push*
Boyfriend?! So it’s official
Is that the same Batman poster that shows up in Roomies?
This is Joe and Danny’s room, probably.
Is he breathing in space?
It’s nice to Joyce happy.
Happy birthday, Joyce.
🥳 imma celebrate with mac and cheese, orange perfection style!
I turned another strip (this one) stereoscopic.
