A tale of a boy and his girlfriend
on April 27, 2013 at 12:01 amChapter: Wasting Away
Location: Danny and Joe's dorm room, La Porte High School
So, Danny, you gonna tell Howard about how his sister is depressed and in a downward spiral of despair, unmoored from all feelings of self-respect and accountability? Â No? Â You’re going to drone on again about your ex-girlfriend? Â All right.
Carry on.

To be fair, he gets back to Ruth. Eventually.
Actually, it lasts only three strips.
Oh no. It gets drawn out here. I’ve peaked ahead. We go into Sly Sirs! territory. Be warned.
well, Danster’s story lasts three strips. It then segues into aliens.
Does Sly Sirs exist anywhere? It seems like the stuff of legend.
The are these deformed .gif pictures on here.
…. It was supposed to be a link. So here is the address; http://itsfanart.com/gallery/index.php/walky/snagged_walky/SlySirs
Great, thanks!
They’re not distorted if you open the images in a new tab, separate from the web-page.
Terrible design, there…
… And for the benefit of future readers, there is also this dedicated “site” that even David Willis may have forgotten : http://walkerton.tripod.com/slysirs.html
0% deformed picture, 100% DW shame !
I know it’s just a typo on the word ‘peeked’ but I like to imagine you actually mean you made the best, funniest, most insightful comment ever a few comics ahead and then travelled back in time just to tell us 😛
Wait, is Sly Sirs! a thing you can actually look at, somewhere, or are you just going by Willis’ descriptions?
Eh, I’m sure she’ll be fine. It’s not like her depression will drive her to recklessness or something, right?
Also: My Danny won’t shut up about his ex-girlfriend.
Howard probably knows that already.
That’s what I was thinking, too, but if Willis says he doesn’t, well he is the creator of the comic and all… hehe.
Panel three is my all-time favorite Howard moment though.
Is Howard… wearing a polka-dotted union suit?
Pretty sure they’re PJs, but I think I like your theory better.
So how many guys his age are really into ‘girl problems’ unless they are bedding them, and even then..eh maybe.
I feel like Danny is someone I would absolutely not want to be friends with.
Who’s Andy McDowell, and why is it bad to sound like him?
*her. And here you go:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000510/
Though I don’t recall her ever having a southern accent, so I’m not sure why Joe says Sal talks like her…
I believe she has a rep for poor diction, but I may be thinking of somebody else.
Which explains why Joe isn’t interested in her!
get it
dick shun
he’s shunning her from his dick
In her first film, her accent was so thick they had to have all of her dialogue dubbed by Glenn Close. Close wasn’t credited for the role, but it’s a reasonably familiar piece of trivia for people who pay attention to movie gossip and are the right age to remember the brief period where MacDowell was famous for something other than being famous.
(I don’t remember her ever *not* having an accent, although it did get less intense during the early 90s. Still in evidence in the current L’Oreal commercials, though.)
This was a…strange transition.
Man, strange doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s almost a non-sequitur.
Anyone else think that Danny’s flashbacks end like Ted Stryker’s from Airplane!, where whoever is listening to them tries to kill themselves just so they won’t have to listen to him drone on anymore?
I’m half-convinced that this is canon.
*Looks up from tying a noose*
I’m sorry what? I wasn’t paying attention.
Like Joe cares about a girl’s accent.
“No-strings sex? Well, it’s tempting, but I can’t get past that Arkansan accent. Maybe if you were from Missouri…”
You just came back from a party where this dude’s sister talked about her feelings to you and you want to go on about your ex-girlfriend.
Not everything’s about you, Danny.
