…They’re drinking out of empty toilet paper rolls.
Also, I’m pretty sure alcohol only lowers your inhibitions. Which means, Danny really felt like he should want to swear. So he did. And it made him sound like a tool.
I remember first reading this as a semi-permanently drunk 19 year old (well into her forth year of drinking) and just being so confused about what I was supposed to think. Drinking is wrong? Yeah, right. Swearing is bad? Maybe? Danny’s a really weird drunk? Yeah, probably that. Maybe he has some sort of alcohol allergy. Maybe he’s an alien.
I now know a lot more about American attitudes to drinking, so this makes a lot more sense now ahh
Come think of it I’m trying to train myself to be able to drink more than one drink without turning into sleepy, blabbering idiot. And here is this guy acting like drinking a beer is the lowest thing you can do…. Dear god you were so innocent!
(For the record, when I get drunk, I only say things too personal, I don’t use it as an excuse to act like a dick. That’s why we hate Danny isn’t it?)
Now, when she’s insulting uptight people, and someone calls her out on it, she can no longer say “it’s okay, I totally have a friend with a stick up his ass!”
I hate this story arc so much, on so many different levels, that I have difficulty expressing the scope and magnitude of my loathing of it. It almost turned me off of reading Willis’s comics forever, which would’ve been a shame because today DoA is one of my favorites.
Of all the story arcs that ever Dannied, this one is the Danniest.
Story time? As someone who was still a little kid when this was running, I’m honestly pretty curious about the history in this stuff – the most webcomic history I know is about Bob and George being the Ur-Sprite Comic. :3
Man, he let go too easily. 22 and I haven’t gotten drunk or used ruder language out of a desire to fit in. He is weak of character, it speaks to his blandness that he can just blend into anything, I mean he was goth for a short time for god’s sakes. There’s something to be said for being true to oneself.
Ah well, if this is what he wants, who am I to disagree.
Loading ...
Gotta love that synchronized, staring-off-into-the-distance sipping.
I don’t recall Ruth getting silly drunk and swearing, tho, he learned that from BILLIE
Oh God, first he’s drinking beer, next all four of them are standing out the front grunting with words like “Yep” and “Mm-Hm.”

You’re right! Which means he also wanted to grope girls! No wonder we don’t like him
Synchronized drinking!
Oh my god. A college student who drinks and SWEARS!? CALL THE POLICE. HIS LIFE IS SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.
How do you think he’ll know when he’s hit rock bottom?
>implying Danny didn’t start at Rock Bottom.
Oh, we’ll all know.
He might have -gasp- PREMARITAL HANKY PANKY!
PREMARITAL HANKY-PANKY!!!
DX
Oh, we’ll all know when he hits rock bottom. It’s a big hit.
Authority’s wack and so are rules! Tucking in your shirt’s for fools!
I think it’s supposed to be “Homework’s wack.” Regardless:
NOOOOOOOOO, SO HATEFUL!
What is everyone looking at?
The wall. It has a very nice piece of abstract art on it.
Oh, that’s what it is? I thought it was a picture of a banana.
In lime green and turquoise.
It’s a schooner.
OH NO, NOT SWEARING! 😛
I feel like parts of me should be taking at least some of this seriously, but I’m still giggling at the shock of seeing #$%^ censored curses.
Yeah, hard to believe that this same universe will eventually feature phrases like “the most epic of hatefucks”
Danny! You say #@!! and *#$$? You REBEL, you!
For shame! He even has the audacity to use the orthography to visually represent the shape of the censored letters!
Me too.
Darn Paul slipped in there ahead..I meant ‘Me too”, in answer to Aslee.
Ok all these Dannys are creepy. Got to break it up a bit. <_<
We are eternal. There is no breaking up. There is only Danny.
Crisis on Infinite Dannyverse?
I think you’re allowed to just say “Hell” instead of using euphemisms.
And Gads, we have 3 Dannys in a row.
Dammit, I’m a teetotaler and I think this is getting ridiculous.
Gotta hand it to Ruth, “decent” is about how I’d describe Danny too 😛

I’m an American and a non-drinker, and it still doesn’t make any sense.
*shot of person diving into an empty pool*
Nobody says, “I want to be a junkie when I grow up.” Nobody.

“I swear now. Swearing is Cool.” Also Danny you’re drunk go ho…no wait stay exactly where you are and sober up.
Hahah Ruth is all, like, ‘Danny noooo… you were my token tight-ass friend!’

Of all the Danny Wilcox’s in the world, he’s the Danny Wilcoxest.
He is, the least interesting man in the world.
Yeah, ditto. The whole rest of Danny’s arc through the end of the comic falls flat for me, but this is the lowest part.
I can remember when this storyline was considered a big deal. Webcomics sure have changed in 16-17-ish years, huh?

I’m not so sure about that…

Those panels… Were you also having your first taste of alcohol when you drew this?
