seems like one would have to realize that as a possibility before being able to succumb, eh
So is Joe thrusting or shaking his booty?
I like to think that he’s moving his arms in a circular fashion like a train.
With a pelvic thrust that really drives you insane.
“Every body’s doooo-ing a brand new dance now….”
Thank you, I can’t even look at this without cracking up now. : D
He’s just vibrating in place really fast.
Can’t it be both?
(Not sure, legitimately asking)
Whatever it is, I’m sure he’s been practicing it for hours and has just been waiting for the right moment to let loose.
Whatever it is, I don’t ever want him to stop. Especially in the last panel, when he has his tongue out in concentration. It makes me laugh so much.
Why is Danny a magnet for unstable ladies?
I’d say it’s largely for the same reason Martin over in Questionable Content is, they are both too much of the archetypal nice guy. Unstable individuals stereotypically end up in unstable and self destructive relationships so gravitate toward that much more stable “nice guy” and/or “girl next door” archetype as part of subconsciously attempting to mitigate the stability issues they experience.
Except, Marten actually follows through. He’s genuinely nice, open and accepting.
Humans are mostly water, which is in fact stable given eight electrons on the outer shell. That said, water also has more protons than electrons, so if Danny is attracting human beings by magnetic force, it’d be because he’s overwhelming negative.
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.
That deserves all the standing ovations!
But Mary is negative too. So they should be repulsing each other.
I could me from the future to say that joke was amazing! XD
Protagonist syndrome.
In most cases, protagonist syndrome’s symptoms manifest as an acute desire for the uncommon, or acute attraction to the uncommon. In a few rare cases, patients exhibit strong political opinions that do not coincide with the a majority of their life. Other examples of protagonist syndrome include, but are not limited to: unique origin, tragic backstory, inability to die undramatically, isolation, the inability to be isolated, strong dedication, and a plethora of people desiring to kill you.
In extreme cases, the subject might back themselves into a corner, whether willing or not, and die as a result.
There is no cure for protagonist syndrome, although some have had success with the undesirable method of treatment. Maintaining a lifestyle and attitude of disinterest in opposition to the themes and happenings of the world around you.
Do not confuse with side character syndrome, which manifests in being drawn towards a singular person or persons, with the majority of your decisions having them as the main beneficiary.
Let’s also not forget wish fulfillment via author avatar.
Nah, that’s a different disease. It can only be treated by Mary-Suicide.
It just takes Mount Rushmore for Danny to throw his inhibitions to the wind! ;p
What a whore he is, all it takes is some dead presidents to get him going.
there should be a scientific name for that kink.
I always liked this punchline. Whatever wiggly thing Joe’s doing is pretty gold. AW-HAW!
This is one my favourites as well, because of what Joe’s doing.
He just seems so committed to it, that I imagine he’s still thrusting a good long while after the strip ends.
It seems to me that Joe and Mary should absolutely hate each other.
Please, Mary. This is Danny. You could be buck naked on his bed with a condom in hand and he still wouldn’t get the picture. He’s incapable of succumbing to something he doesn’t know is happening.
I actually really like this strip. The visual gag’s okay (I can see Robin or Joe doing it today with a better setup), it shows Joe actually does get Danny (he’s right, isn’t he? more right than Willis probably intended at the time) and it shows how well Mary knows him as well (as a boring, sexually repressed twit; also more right than Willis probably intended at the time).
I just but I remember this strip being the point where I thought “She really is his friend!” even though I couldn’t put my finger on why. “Now,” I thought, “can she stop being his friend, and perhaps leave?”
Huh. She seemed a lot more resigned to the idea yesterday.
“Danny wouldn’t succumb to sexual temptations, would he? He’s DANNY, a naive, repressed romantic with little actual experience with girls beyond one smokin’ hot girlfriend who had him around her finger from day one! Also, did I give you a fiver just now for some reason? Did my hair just darken? Where am I? Who am I?”
Is Joe air humping?
It’s kind of messed up that this story featured a bunch of 20-year-old adults acting like this.
I know people far older, that act less mature than that. My mother being one of them.
Mary should only be 18 at this point. And almost every 20 year old I’ve met has been pretty immature. Just cause you’re legally an adult doesn’t mean you start acting like one immediately ya’know?
Or, indeed, ever, thinking about some 60-year-olds I know.
I’m almost with Mary on this one only due to the fact that Danny has demonstrated little to no sexual appetitive whatsoever.
I mean there’s “repressed” and then there’s “unresponsive.”
