Sal climbing that lamp post is another in a long line of Amazingly Phallic Things David Willis Has Drawn Unwittingly. Honestly, I just wanted to show that Sal is spontaneous and likes climbing things. I didn’t expect any further subtext.
Also, dude, Joe, I’m pretty sure that’s sexual assault. Stop that.
That one cheerleader is covering her eyes. She’s going to run right into something.
Is she also levitating a cup/saucer at about chin level before her?
His speech bubble has some oedipal tones there.
Or maybe he’s like the gas mask kid from Doctor Who. “Are you my mummy?”
Joe might just be a Lady Gaga fan. Oh, wait, 1997 you say? Maybe not, then.

Joe’s competence levels have kinda fluctuated over the years. I mean, this is the dude who banged exactly two thousand and forty girls by the time he was twenty-five? Really?
Bad joe! No nookie for you!
But he does it all for the nookie! The nookie! The nookie!
well he have to take that cookie and stick it on his Yeah! XD
Stick it up his yeah! Stick it up his
Hmm. Wouldn’t it have been the first in a long line?
No, because the story we’re reading was printed in 2001, five years after Roomies! started.
I think this ( http://www.itswalky.com/d/19990106.html ) is the first.
Also, heh. Long line.
… I can’t imagine that that’s unwitting…
It totally was.
…
Man, Willis, Freud would have a field day with your art.
Acrobatic Sal. Shades of the future.
I kinda wish Danny and Sal did “loosen up” before things exploded…
hey, has [character] died yet?
oh, and spoilers i guess.
I didn’t notice the phallic symbolism until you pointed it out… But now I can’t unsee it 😛
Subconscious in overdrive much?
Oh God I just noticed Joe’s “Suck Suck” Sound effect. Somehow that makes it worse that he’s chasing three girls with plans of Doinking them against their wills.
1. Joe is not a rapist. He’s chasing them with plans of convincing them to have sex with him.
2. I always thought he was doing baby talk for some reason, but your explanation makes more sense.
“Spontaneous and likes climbing things” is all get out of that, too. It’s not that amazingly phallic unless you are one of those types that spends every waking moment looking for that sort of thing.
“Ma-ma”? WTF? I get that he’s oversexed but that’s just bizarre. You generally don’t call girls your own age Mama unless you’re into some pretty specific fetishes.
Also, Danny makes an excellent point in panel 3. At this point in the comic I’m sort of wondering why it’s not just Sal and Joe banging each other close to 24/7. They’d both be out of Danny’s hair, then.
It’s just kissy noises.
Sal takes issue with Joe’s…er…everything. He hit on her when they first met in high school and she shoved him in a locker. On some level, she likes that Danny’s…er…Danny, I guess.
Sal should be a professional gymnast.
She does. In a sense.
I did not see subtext until it was said. Now I can never unsee it.
Ever.
