Kicked me out
on January 31, 2014 at 12:01 amAs noted earlier, Mary is unlike Joyce in that she’ll swear if she has to. Here, we learn that also unlike Joyce, she will totally listen in on some premarital hanky-panky. You know, after the prerequisite feigning of disinterest.
“Danny’s getting it on with another girl? Not like I care or anything.”
B-baka Danny. It’s not like I like him or anything!
Honestly, almost every character feels this way about Danny!
Even Joe?
Especially Joe
I thought Billie was the tsundere. Mary is… some much unhealthier thing.
Danny didn’t have a spare sock, so he hung Mary on the door.
Best use for her, probably.
I’d certainly stay away, she’s like one of those annoying yappy dogs
What Joe and I’m guessing past readers (and maybe even current) are thinking:

For those keeping track, this is the first canonical hypocrisy of Mary.
Spoiler alert, there is more to come.
So, so much more to come.
Also, your unamused, condom-hat-wearing Joyce is so very appropriate for this.
Unamused, condom-cap-wearing Joyce is so very appropriate for anything.
Except for when the situation calls for amused condom-cap-wearing. Then she’s just a Debby-Downer.
Not necessarily! She may just want to make certain they’re not getting it on.
If you’ll pardon my playing Mary’s Advocate.
So, having been kicked out, why is Mary still sitting there?
You think Mary leaves just because she’s not wanted?
If that was true, she’d cease to exist.
The force of Mary’s unwantedness would retroactively prevent her ever existing.
gah, jeez, mary really is awful.
One has to wonder what they’d do if Billie and Danny really were banging.
Join in?
Are we trying to pitch more Slipshine comic ideas to Our Gracious Host?
They’d both listen and enjoy, though Mary would shame them afterword.
If she doesn’t listen in, how can she know what their sins are so she can be self righteous about it?
Feeling better about yourself by coming up with reasons everyone else is worse than you is sadly a common trait.

Silly Joe, don’t you remember what Joyce taught you just before you heard Ruth died? For maximum enjoyment you’ve got to tie yourself up while listening through the door.
