Danny at home for Christmas
on June 7, 2013 at 12:01 amChapter: Home for Christmas
Location: Danny's parents' house
Randy is Danny’s younger brother. Much like my own younger brother, Randy’s a lot more into sports and Actual Dude Things than his nerdy older brother. I think in my Dumbing of Age head canon, Randy is now Danny’s older brother, which means he can be doing the GIJOE thing over in Afghanistan or wherever wars are being fought in the Dumbiverse, also like my brother.
That feels like a Rule: All twerpy younger brothers grow ENORMOUS =p [mine sure did]
My older brother’s still taller and heavier than I am.
But I took up armored combat as a hobby.
My younger brother isn’t a twerp…does that mean he’ll stay tiny forever? Or shrink?
With me and my brother, we just swapped bodytypes: He used to be chunky, I used to be thin.
This youngest brother is taller than his two older sisters.
Opps! Surprize!
This happened to me. I ended up a decent 5’11, my younger brother a truly impressive 6’5”.
He’s still a little twerp, though.
Yup, totally happened to me when I went to college too. Younger brother, whom I could previously use as an armrest, suddenly sprung up and is now taller than me.
No siblings, so no idea what this is like.
Also, is it just me, or is “Things have changed, I hate it!” a major part of Danny’s character?
Picking on younger siblings seems wayyyy out of character for Danny. He’s never been assertive about ANYTHING, why would harassing younger siblings be his kind of thing? That’s a Joe kind of thing!
I’m not usually particularly assertive, either, but I pick on my “little” (younger, not smaller, like everyone else) brother all the time. It’s a familiarity thing, not so much to do with assertion.
Wouldn’t your “Dumbing of Age head canon” just be the actual cannon?
Only if he uses it to fire the characters from his head into the script.
Since writing this commentary, I’ve made it canon in upcoming Dumbing of Age strips. That’s the difference, I think. Stuff in my head can change until I put it to digital paper. Until then it ain’t canon.
This conversation is making me think about Tolkien’s headcanon. How it got published after his death in about 15 big thick books that all contradict each other…. versus the 2 books he actually published.
“You’ve been doing up the house, haven’t you? I don’t like it.”
Danny is the second doctor?
And/or the eleventh.
Well they’re the same guy y’know. ^_~
When the Doctors do it, it’s hilarious. When Danny does it, it’s boring.
Looking at Mrs. Wilcox’s expression in that last panel… am I alone in thinking that her only response to the beatdown that’s about to ensue will be to sit there and sip her coffee and say, “Now, Randy, dear, don’t get blood on the new wallpaper. I wouldn’t want to have to redo the kitchen again.”
YES. Sass is needed.
There’s no way those two are related. Randy’s hair isn’t a brick.
ugh. I am 7 years older than my brother. He is an inch taller than me. At least.
