Dad! It’s me, your son D.J.!

Anyway, yeah, I think that response is proportional. Like, what the hell, stranger.
(Remember when I moved that Billie strip from a few strips back to yesterday? Well, you see, this strip just DOES NOT WORK with the previous Joe/Danny strip immediately prior. It’s just hecka confusing. Suddenly DJ is here and you’re wondering where Joe is and why they aren’t at a restaurant. In the original format, the Danny/Joe doubledecker strip was the last strip on its page, and this one was the first strip on the next month’s page. There’s an implied break there that doesn’t exist anymore when you string all these out in a row. So I scooted Billie’s strip into the middle. Regardless, I think this strip could have stood an establishing shot of Danny walking somewhere alone.)

Obviously, the advice should be to get lectured by an annoyingly preachy friend from high school while developing some blistering sexual tension with someone who was initially just an acquaintance, find out the friend is actually a hypocrite who’s trying to drive a wedge between you and your Sexually Charged Acquaintance for moral reasons, all while avoiding the brother of someone whose death you are responsible for, until it comes time to suddenly develop a spine and punch out his bullies.
You forgot letting your high school friend and his girlfriend use your car to create a sentient, flying, talking, self-driving robot with military-grade weapons built in.
Ah, but that came much later, after he’d put his life back together. This is specifically What Danny Would Do when his life falls apart.
*Shrugs* I mean, fair.

“Billie, just so you know, I’ve decided I’m not going to be an egotistical ass, and we’re not calling our kid after me.”
I’ll be honest: I kinda wish I’d taken the opportunity to do something like this to someone when I was younger. Now that I’m 40 I doubt anyone would fall for it.
I mean, Cable’s been running that grift for years. Cyclops is still convinced that man who is 30 years older than him is his son from the future.
…now I’m wondering what would happen if D.J. accidentally met DOA’s Danny, first…
So is this D.J. the son of this universe’s Danny, or a different Danny?
Danny, two strips ago: “Even if something unexpected does happen, I’m confident I can handle it.”
Right you are, Danny!
“Seriously? We’ve literally started scraping ourselves off of the floor after the Martians and THIS crap suddenly bobs up?”
“I just got done telling Joe that NOTHING IS GOING TO GO WRONG. You’re making it go wrong! Stop it!”
This definitely needed an establishing shot, because after clicking through my first assumption was that the comics were STILL out of order.
Danny Jason? The son of Danny and who?
A class pairing Danny.
