Ruled by your hormones

Location: Minneapolis/St. Paul
When I first conceived of a writing this storyline, obviously I intended to have sided with Mary. But, in practice, I think I started to agree with Danny. You can see Mary start to push through the threshold from “righteously concerned” to, as Danny says, “being my mother.” I’m still trying, though. Lord knows I’m trying.

…by which you mean, “drawing lots of lovely, lovely pornography”?
[MOAR PLS]
Danny and Sal didn’t get to perform a sex.
Well, not in this universe…
They’ll have to go through me.
So Jason and Sal performing a sex is currently a constant between the two worlds?
Don’t know if I can resist Sal in one of his porn comics.
This made me imagine a porn comic done in Roomies! art style, and it was… different.
“Can you try to look…. blockier?”
“Those are MY Twinkies!”
I took, starting to agree with Danny and began as siding with Mary, when i first read,
As balanced look at relationships, if somewhat short.
This is about the point I started wanting to run Mary over with a car.
The evolution from someone who won’t get any more explicit than “thinking with your pants” to someone who professionally draws pornography…
There’s a memoir there that I would love to read.
I think you’re reading it right now – Willis’ comments on BBR and his tumblr are forming a pretty good memoir, I think.
Mary wants Danny to remain pure so she can claim him for her own pants.
Still not seeing the ‘hate’ for Mary. A bit pushy maybe, but if you want hate, you gotta draw her with a bit less real concern on her face: last panel is just sad. Does she feel bad he’s going to ‘screw up’ or screw Billie or whatever, or is she sad because he’s accusing her of actin like his mother, or maybe she feels bad because she wants him herself?
Can’t see hateful person here, not at this point. Annoying yes. Hate no.
Wait for it. It’ll happen
Oh, you poor bastard
I don’t know. I’ve been seeing some signs in the way she’s been talking about Sal throughout the last few strips she did refer to her.
That feels like commentary about Game of Thrones before getting to the Red Wedding =B
“I’m worried about you, Danny. You are only a 20 year old adult and I’m concerned you may have sexual urges!” God shut up, Mary. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.
The nice thing about Mary– yes, there is one– is that she evolves in a fairly human way despite this shift in the author’s perspective. At this point, she’s got a flawed perspective, but it’s the sort that a lot of people her age have and grow out of. NBD. But she only grows further into it. Kinda like the title one of David’s other strips… which one is it– she thinks God’s word is Law, so maybe Lawsome? Nahhh.
In light of my own premarital hankypanky (well technically.*I* considered myself married. Shit happens.) I actually still really agree with Mary here, in the sense that the upper head should hold dominion. You can’t regret what you don’t do.
I regret what I didn’t do, like, constantly.
Oh god yeah. It’s extremely easy to regret the stuff you could have done but didn’t. I still get annoyed at myself for not taking a girl (who I liked) up on an offer to go back to her place for a couple of drinks and an offer to watch a movie. I didn’t even notice that she’d specifically told me that she had the place to herself until I was thinking back over it three weeks later. Stupid, stupid Liam.

I think really she’s concerned about the thinking that goes on without pants.
