Man, I remember the days when just “getting drunk” was some kind of sin in my moral universe too. This is an irritating memory. I may drink to forget it.
If Mary were to say “You drove drunk,” that might be credible, or “can you not even talk to me without drinking” that’d be– well, hilariously accurate, really. But no, merely imbibing the fermented grape (especially when gasp! Horrors! UNDER 21) is sufficient to mark Danny as Satan’s personal property.
Haha, man I was a pretty… prudent, I guess, when I was in HS but I was more about ‘jeeze you are only in HS you really ought to wait a few years before hitting the drugs yo’. By the time I was in college I only barely cared (I was not super happy about my roommates smoking pot in the dorm but I am pretty allergic so that is a whole different deal).
And yet, Mary is coming across as a nice enough person here. She appears to be trying to get Danny to realize that what he did, he did while drinking. And drinking more won’t solve that, or anything.
She even looks sad.
Who knows? I don’t usually play Devi’s advocate. But, still sometimes foreknowledge of a character can color a present situation strongly.
It’s not that her advice is really bad or anything, but you know she’s just happy she has somebody to judge and preach too right now. And honestly “Danny drinking is bad yo” isn’t going to help much at this point. Danny needs to talk with somebody who actually understands him a bit more.
I’m guessing Billie is coming in though and she can relate a bit more. (I can’t remember for sure, but the only other girls in the cast atm are Joyce and Sarah, it’s sure as hell not them)
I don’t see her being happy about this actually. In any way. Yeah, it’s a good way to teach a lesson, i think, but still, she realizes someone Died. But really, comforting someone by going over it when you know your decisions played a part, knowing those decisions were wrong, and reacknowledging that someone died because of those poor decisions, IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO COMFORT SOMEONE!

You mean sexy lad*y*, surely? Mary got disqualified, after all =p
Well. She’s not unattractive. She’s just… How can I put this politely? Oh I know! A bitch!
Personally, I’d say she is unattractive. But it’s not because she isn’t pretty.
There are lots of pretty/attractive people who aren’t SEXY.
like mitt romney
“yo, sexy ladies are coming in…”
It keeps happening.
The stairs!
I warned you about the stairs bro!
I can’t wait to be a useless piece of shit all day and
play all these gameswallow in all this self-pity.Fuck I’m
falling down all these stairstalking to all these girlsJust how high drunk do you even have to BE just to DO something like that
Whoops. How do I strikethrough.
Did not know there were that many Homestucks…..
[S]Danny’s problems: Cascade.
I forgot there’s no staaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiii
Danny knows he has no chance with them, which is why he’s pissed they’re in his room.
“Dames! I tell ya! Don’t they know I’m Grand Poo-Bah of the He-Man Woman Hater’s Club?”
You’d think they would! You’d really think so.
Also, “females?” Danny, I know you’re depressed, but being a Ferengi is not the answer.
It is a scientific fact that being a Ferengi is never the answer to anything.
Hm, Megs, I thought your beast mode was a T. rex. Or a dragon. Not a polar bear.

Fermented barley, you mean. I don’t think Danny is going to become a wine connoisseur any time soon.

The mystery of the incoming guest is slightly ruined by spoiling who it is in the tags.
Well, Ruth is dead, Joyce is abducted, and Mary already knows Sal. Who else could it be?
Also, the fact that the next strip has been on the Internet for like fourteen years now. That kind of spoils it, too.
Poor Danny. how painful it is that all these attractive women don’t want you to become a shut in…
wiat 😛
Ya know, Danny, some dudes would kill to have women wanting to come see and hang around them all the time.
