The Creepiest Form of Flattery, page 7

Characters: Danny Wilcox, Joe Rosenthal
Location: Danny and Joe's dorm room
I kind of wish there were some material between Sal’s dumping and the last story of the semester just to give Danny some actual time to repair himself. Without that buffer, everyone seems a little too alarmist. The story worked better at the time because this was the first few pages of a new comic book, so there was this unstated period of time passing between the previous material and this new stuff. Just… imagine there were a few weeks of story between there, somewhere. Probably with more madcap Joyce-is-a-stalker hijinks.
So… no problem finding a photo reference, then.
Guess the therapist is a necessity.
No wonder she left him…
Even I’m not that bad, sure I still have a picture of me and my first love (still is even though broken up) and okay yeah, i saved all our e-mails, but a shrine? A little much for even Danny.
Why does Danny appear shocked by the shrine that he built?
He’s shocked that Joe found it.
A shrine or two is not a problem! Why don’t people GET that!?
Joe looks like he’s holding a pipe in panel 5.
That i in the beginning looks like an upside exclamation point. Initially I read it as a command “¡ love sal !”
Gaaaah!
At least I don’t see a statue of Sal constructed from her discarded chewing gum. So he hasn’t yet reached Helga Pataki levels of obsession.
Huh. Maybe Danny and Joyce really are made for each other.
And it only took us fifteen years to find out.
I see what you did there Willis, trying to throw us all off and make us think the title was refering to Danny.
It’s not going to work, we can still see that Joyce is the creepiest.
Whenever there’s a strip without sound effects, I feel kinda sad, because I know Onomatopoeia won’t get to say anything until the next one.
I’m gonna have to start inserting new ones.
Wuhuuuuuut the fuck, Danny.
Also, that escalated pretty quickly.
Who is RSJ?

I forsee problems for Dorothy in the current DoA storyline…
Add that to his crush on Amaizi-girl and we’ll have soemthing like Lois Lane meets Helga Pataki.
Wait… their college lets them have candles? Mine wouldn’t, in fact if you had them they would boot you out faster than Joe hitting on a cheer-leading squad selling transformers
At the tiny Bible college I went to (before I transferred to IU), the men’s RA (yes, small enough that there was only one men’s dorm) allowed candles but the women’s didn’t. One of a great many inequalities there.
I love how Joe says “pine.” I didn’t know that Joe was capable of hipster irony. I didn’t know there *was* hipster irony when this made.
…What do those two things have to do with each other?
Danny seems surprised that he has a shrine. Also, he doesn’t seem like the type to have one in the first place.
