    This can’t go well.

    1. Tunaro

      I’m waiting for somethin’ to blow up.

      1. All Else Fails

        Comment section blow up in 3… 2… 1…

        1. GoldStarz

          Your countdown was late. Or the bomb went off early.

        2. Ellie

          Somebody set us up the bomb

        3. Mr. Random

          The grammar it hurts. The reference, I do not get!

        4. Ellie

          Oops. I had it done wrong anyways. it’s set up us the bomb, not set us up the bomb

        5. Cholma

          Main screen turn on.

          Take off all Sals.
          All your Dannys are belong to us. (Dannies?)

        6. Fernando

          You have no chance to survive make your time.
          Ha ha ha ha….

        7. Historyman68

          Take off every zig.

        8. John

          I never thought Zero Wing references would make me nostalgic.

        9. Parnifia the Bastard

          HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN.

        10. mysss

          That amazing moment when you remember the “ha”s are PART OF THE REFERENCE AHAHAHAHAHA

        11. E.R.

          It’s a reference to a song, based on a poorly translated game, calledAll Your Base are Belong to Us.

          It is worth noting that I have not linked to the normal version of the song. In fact, the two share almost nothing but lyrics…

        12. Blue Dragon

          I clicked your link before reading your second paragraph. I was expecting the link to go here.

        13. Dustin

          It’s worth also pointing out (I guess) that the bad engrish was only on the europe-only megadrive version. The arcade version doesn’t have it. Also, the song originally appeared on Something Awful and the people that did it released about an album’s worth of pretty decent material under the name “The Laziest Men on Mars.”

        14. lightsabermario

          The version I was thinking of is this one (albeit a very obscure version). http://dwellingofduels.net/dodarchive/05-0910-Free_Month/ZZ-Kadmium-Zero%20Wing-Make%20Your%20Time-DoD.mp3

        15. Deanatay

          Here’s the original bad dub of the game intro.
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfwqvUPIRkg

        16. GoldStarz

          The bomb set us up to believe that the bomb would not go off early?

          Does that make this a Thanatos Gambit?

        17. Yotomoe

          It was the best I could do…

        18. GoldStarz

          You monster! Have you no decency?!

        19. Tunaro

          Well it is a common problem for bombs in this age. Nothin’ to be ashamed of.

        20. GoldStarz

          Bombs blowing up intelligent, likable female characters after they try to sacrifice themselves and protect others from the blast is a common occurrence?

        21. xKiv

          .. it was just slightly worse than everyone else’s average.

        22. Bugberry

          The countdown started before we even got here.

    2. NoHeart

      Does anything with Danny ever go well?

      1. asmcint

        If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

        1. Yarrr

          Amber: talk to self

    3. Mr K

      5 years later, they’re happily married.

      1. GoldStarz

        Just like it didn’t happen in the original universe.

        1. Tunaro

          Well it sort of possibly happened in a different timeline.

    4. nothri

      Depends on if you consider Danny and Sal banging to be a thing that goes well.

      1. Mravac Kid

        They have been destined to be together for what, over 15 years now? About time that happened. 😀

    5. Jen Aside

      So far it’s gone better than I expected, actually.

      [and so much for DON’T SPOIL IT FOR ME I WANNA FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF]

      1. xKiv

        Figure *what* out? Skating?

        1. Jen Aside

          okay, that didn’t parse well, did it

          Danno: “NO SPOILARZ“

    6. Guest Person Dude

      You think it can’t go well, huh?
      Some of the meanest, hardest, toughest people just ever needed the slightest benefit of the doubt.
      I guess we’ll see.

  2. All Else Fails

    XD

  3. Herohatch

    Granted, when I was eighteen, I probably would have pulled a Danny much like this one.

    1. Yotomoe

      That was last year for me…and I probably wouldn’t…I’m too self conscious and Sal is CLEARLY out of my league.

      1. Doctor_Who

        Every now and then, maybe once or twice a year, I try flirting with someone who is several orders of magnitude hotter than me.

        My success rate may not be incredible, but it’s way better than it ought to be.

        1. Shadow12000

          Don’t lie, Doctor. Your success rate is fantastic.

        2. James Rye

          What is your secret man??? D8

        3. xKiv

          That’s because the strategy is brilliant.

        4. dimblecon

          can’t win if you don’t play

      2. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

        Depends. Can you properly deliver a good curse? That might earn you a ride on her motorcycle.

        1. asmcint

          If you know what I… or they… IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS INTENDED! >;D <— ANGRY WINKY FACE!!!

      3. ninja_jesus

        Leagues are for seas, and you ain’t in an ocean.

        1. Shadow12000

          Sure he is, fish in the sea and all that.

        2. ninja_jesus

          He’s not a fish! He’s a human being!

        3. Lel

          I’m pretty sure that all the world’s a stage, and us people are mere actors.
          Judging by this logic, Danny is either intended to mess up/succeed through adorable dan-ness or his ablibbing to get a chance with a hot babe.

          Analogies!

    2. AgentKeen

      Man, I’d still Dan it up now…

      1. Ellie

        Nice gravatar for that

      2. Keroshino

        You’re Danning it up now! (Gavatar pic)

  4. Robbie C

    Why bother even wearing clothes at all?

    1. Eric

      Because she likes wearing those clothes?

    2. Tunaro

      McDonalds doesn’t serve you if you don’t got pants on.
      I’ve tried.

      1. Doctor_Who

        They once served me without shoes. THE RULES ARE A LIE.

        1. Mr. Random

          YOU CAN EVEN GO IN WITHOUT A SHIRT! (But you have to be “hot”.)

        2. Yotomoe

          What if I’m on fire?

        3. GoldStarz

          Nope, has to be a minimum of hellfire hot, sometimes they let it slide if it causes a fourth degree burn, though.

        4. TPman

          If you’re on fire they can’t catch you.
          Ever tried to catch a man who’s on fire? Pretty hard.

        5. DubstepWraith

          Hence the movie “Catching Fire”.

          (Insert CSI Reference here)

      2. shoeboxjeddy

        She has pants. Show me on the sign where it says “No pants (that fully cover your thong). No service.”

    3. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

      Very relevant gravatar here.

  5. Sammie1053

    Oh god i love Sal so much more now and i don’t even know why.

    1. Mkvenner

      Last panel?

    2. Shadow12000

      Keeping a cig in her mouth just to look cool?

      1. BlueRam

        It’s what we do.

  6. John

    “S’not lit, but Ah’m wondrin’ if you are.”

    1. Yotomoe

      Snot lit. Sorry, just setting my boogers on fire.

      1. Shadow12000

        I knew someone who majored in Snot lit.

        1. BlueRam

          “Snot him!”

  7. Khantalas

    Danny, this might be the beginning of a beautiful, dysfunctional relationship.

    1. Yotomoe

      Is there any other kind? In Willis land?

    2. Shadow12000

      Nah, we’ve already been there with Danny x Sal in a Willisverse, it just died very quickly.

      1. Khantalas

        Not nearly dysfunctional enough, or nearly beautiful enough.

      2. niblik

        Or it could go completely the other way. 🙂

        1. xKiv

          It could be the end of an ugly, functional relationship?

  8. LiaHansen

    Wait… is tow why, this gonna go well? i don’t know why, but I’m getting this strange feeling that this is actually gonna go well.

    1. Aakriti

      I agree!

    2. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

      Or at least not as badly as some are expecting. I think the combination of Danny’s awkward candor and Sal’s cynical perceptiveness might make for some surprising chemistry, even if only in a platonic way.

  9. Wonder Wig

    “Hello Wonderinifyoulostabet. Is that a family name?”

    1. Yotomoe

      My mom married into it. Her maiden name was “Yourfuckin’withmeright.”

      1. Tenn

        To which my father replied, “Don’t mind if I do!”

  10. LiamAldam

    The accent is a good disguise.

  11. Doom Shepherd

    I’m sorry, but not even Sal can make the “underwear sticking up out of my pants look” look cool.

    1. Doctor_Who

      Wedgie-Chic.

      1. Tunaro

        I think it’s more of a “I-just-got-done-kickin’-someone’s-sorry-ass” look.

    2. TPman

      No, not cool, the opposite perhaps though.
      (I’m saying she is hot)

    3. Caliban

      Well, the way she’s wearing them now just makes it looks like she’s wearing a diaper or something. The “cool” way is to just have the thong straps showing above your pants, not the thong itself.

    4. Compulsive Collector

      What are “things my grandmother would’ve said,” Alex?

    5. desai

      I think it’s more ‘my pants have slipped down below my underwear’, though that’s just nitpicking. Regardless, you’re right in that it lacks a certain Gravitas.

  12. Sensedog

    Nice innuendo.

  13. GoldStarz

    Completely Unexpected Plot Twist: This goes perfectly smoothly and both end up in a mutually happy relationship.

    1. Super Duper

      IMPOSSIBRU!

    2. Doctor_Who

      One based on mutual respect and admiration, with no dysfunction whatsoever.

      Of course, having Walky over for dinner is awkward, since he brings Dorothy with him. But hey, who wouldn’t put aside old grievances when the president is a guest in your house!

      1. Historyman68

        Joe Wilson?

        1. Kyrros

          David Levinson

      2. Thasvaddef

        Plot twist! It’s President Walky!

        1. Doctor_Who

          I was hoping someone would suggest this.

    3. Yotomoe

      They would have the cutest babies.

      1. GoldStarz

        And their relationship wouldn’t even get so babies after they have the babies!

    4. Jen Aside

      Which would be ironic since he’s unknowingly cheating on the girlfriend he unknowingly dumped because she wanted him to cheat on her with herself…

      …Willis, you tryna beat out Avalon for twistiness??

      1. saltchocolate

        Oh yeah! In my amazement at how the whole fan base suddenly shipped Danny and Sal around the world in 80 days, I *totally forgot* about Amber!

        1. Badeyes

          Makes perfect sense, first we have to get the ship going before pointing it toward the iceberg.

        2. saltchocolate

          Got it.

    5. so279

      Second unexpected plot twist: David Willis is a pseudonym of M. Night Shamalayan.

    6. niblik

      I’d buy that for a dollar!

  14. Rubin

    A part of me wonders if she’d actually go for a guy like Danny.

    It’s a really dumb part of me.

    1. Doctor_Who

      She went. For Jason.

      Compared to him, Danny is The Fonz.

      1. Sporky

        But Jason is actually charming in his uptight and self-righteousness, probably because he has that “classy British guy” thing going for him, whereas Danny i just kinda……… eeeeeeeegghhhhhh.

        1. Yotomoe

          Yeah, but Danny is at least not Faz.
          Just keep in mind, ladies…
          Most of us guys are not Faz
          *clicks tongue/Smile twinkle*

        2. Doctor_Who

          I am now picturing a version of Happy Days starring The Faz.

          Picture it. Savor the image. Let it become part of your being.

        3. Wizard

          And suddenly I’m rooting for the shark.

        4. saltchocolate

          Can’t unsee….

        5. Schist

          Would they have to rename the show to Creepy Days then?

        6. Kodoku

          Fazzy Days.

        7. xKiv

          The Great Faz is Happy!

        8. AgentKeen

          Also:
          -Finger pistol-

      2. JustDucky

        I suspect most girls would go for Jason over Danny. British accents are sexy.

        1. -Sentinel-

          And Jason was waaaay badass in the old continuity.

      3. John

        But compared to Danny, Jason is James Bond.

  15. JessWitt

    That Sal, such a cut-up that kid.

  16. Super Duper

    … You know what?
    I’d ship it.

    1. KingMabel

      Not the strangest ship I’ve shipped, but a ship none the less

      1. Super Duper

        Is she seaworthy? I guess.

        1. xKiv

          Enough people want to see it.

        2. nick

          A lot of people went on the titanic as well

        3. Badeyes

          And how many are shipping just to see Danny’s self loathing when he realizes she’s NOT Amazi-girl.

  17. Fluffy

    That… actually went better than I thought it would.

    1. GoldStarz

      We’re not done yet, Danny can still make this worse.

      1. Ellie

        It’s only a matter of time, really.

        1. Yotomoe

          Danny can’t make it BETTER. He’s DANNY.

        2. someguywithakatana

          You’re forgetting. This is Sal. Danny pretty much generated half of her positive character developments in the OU.

        3. GoldStarz

          So you’re saying Sal’s betterness…

          Will overpower the Dannyness that is Danny.

        4. timemonkey

          Sal had positive character development?

        5. John

          She hasn’t murdered a teammate or attempted global genocide in a while.

        6. AgentKeen

          That we know of!
          Plus, she tries to avoid the Waggling Finger of Shame from Jason.

  18. Mr. Random

    Hmmm. I feel like they knew each other. In another life.

    1. Auror

      IN ANOTHER LIIIIIIFE
      I WOULD MAKE YOU STAAAY

      1. Yotomoe

        Oh my gosh. Parallel Sal is channeling her desire to stay with Danny! I ship it even more now.

  19. Jay Eff

    Oh, Danny lost a bet, all right. He lost one long ago.

    That’s why he’s Danny now.

    1. Yotomoe

      He lost a bet to Joe in the 3rd grade that for the rest of his life he’ll always make the wrong decision.
      Taking that bet was the first one.

      1. Blue Dragon

        I thought the bet in 3rd grade was that he had to leave that drawing on his fridge forever. Maybe he just ate too much paste when they were younger than that?

  20. Kennerly

    Lost a bet? What kind of wager makes you talk to an attractive girl when you lose? Where I come from when you lose a bet you have to hit on an ugly girl.

    1. Ourorboros

      Lost a bet – because you are about to make a huge fool of yourself/get epically shot down.
      It could be a foreshadowing statement more than anything.
      Or imply that he is acting so awkward that he would have had to have lost a bet to act like that.

      I admit, at that age I would have been no more smooth.

    2. John

      “Hit on the attractive girl who is totally going to shoot you down, then kick your ass, then laugh at you”?

    3. Yotomoe

      Where I come from, I can’t hit on girls. I’m too shy. I’d cry.

      1. Roborat

        That could work with some girls, you should try it.

    4. Pope William T Wodium

      She’s also picking up on the fact that his heart isn’t really in it. She’s narrowing her hypothesis space to “reasons this guy would be talking to me that don’t include him wanting to.”

      1. Shadlyn Wolfe

        Less funny, but also true, we know Sal has some self esteem issues. Maybe she thinks he’s out of her league.

        Nah, she’d never admit to it if she did.

        1. Ourorboros

          She doesn’t have issues so bad that she thinks Dan is some incredible catch that lost a bet and he is the one that has to do a slump buster for the team.
          Her issues in DoA seem to be about her parents.

    5. Kladeos

      Sal is intimidating.

    6. taekwondogirl

      “Lost a bet? What kind of wager makes you talk to an attractive girl when you lose? Where I come from when you lose a bet you have to hit on an ugly girl.”

      And this is precisely what my dad warned me about and why any time someone hit on me, I thought they were making fun of me. That’s terrible.

      1. Ourorboros

        Which part is terrible?
        That your dad warned you about this, meaning she called you ugly?
        Or that guys do this?

        Well both are terrible, really. I just hope your father didn’t call you a slump buster.

        1. taekwondogirl

          Both, really. In my comment I was meaning the guys who do this but yeah. Did a hell of a number on my esteem. He never outright called me ugly or anything, but did shit to undermine my confidence all the time. Only two years ago, he got me a hair straightener for Christmas so I’d “feel more confident” about my appearance. -_-

  21. Ali

    I wonder how long Sal will walk around campus like that before someone tells her to change…

    1. Doctor_Who

      It’s a state college campus. People used to go to class in their pajamas all the time when I was in school. Nobody cares.

      1. Ali

        I dunno about anyone else, but my pajamas cover me and my underwear up completely.

        1. Yotomoe

          Not me. I sleep in my underpants.

        2. Badeyes

          At college age my pajamas in public would have lead to an indecent exposure charge.

    2. C.

      Willis said that Sal doesn’t intend to go to class in her getup on Tumblr.

      1. Marek

        Isn’t this day supposed to be Sunday anyway?

  22. shoeboxjeddy

    Snot lit? Is this like the horrible mutant offspring of chick lit or something? Yikes that sounds awful… And why is she bringing it up in the first pl… oh that’s something else entirely okay.

    *This has been stream of consciousness theater.*

    1. xKiv

      Are those where you read snot tracts and chick tracts?

  23. Yotomoe

    Damnit, I ship them now too.
    In fact…
    It may be fanart time.

    1. Auror

      do it

    2. rachel

      yotomoe I am forever waiting for your dumbiverse/walkyverse fanart

      foreverrrr

    3. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

      I will gladly subscribe to your newsletter, Yotomoe.

    4. Yotomoe

      Arghhhhh I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DRAW THO!!! My hatred of Danny has clearly extended to my ability to draw him.

      1. saltchocolate

        Draw him down on one knee, with her hand to his lips…!

      2. Fernando

        He should be tied up in only his pokemon boxers and she’s posing with a whip, full on dominatrix style.

    5. Yotomoe

      NSFW

      “Amazi-girl, you’re way more frisky than usual!
      “Ah dun’ know what kinda Role playin’ yer doin’ but ah like it.”

      1. itsnoteasybeinggreen

        Awesome!!

      2. saltchocolate

        That is the cutest possible Sal! Woo!

  24. Riku

    Next strip:
    “HE MADE THE FIRST MOVE! :D”

  25. All Else Fails

    She looks like a Sal.

  26. Sporky

    Shipping DANNY AND SAL? Perish the thought!

  27. anonreader1

    Holy crap she is cute.

  28. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

    Mary? Why do you look so much like Sarah?

    1. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

      Balls. That was supposed to be a reply.

  29. newllend

    I think this is a great first in counter ( hahahahah) OK so wonder if this conversation goes any where

  30. Cthulhu's Intern

    Is he Danning so hard he’s succeeding? Like, he’s gone so far down the “failure” meter that it circled the globe and landed right into the “HUGE SUCCESS” territory?

    1. Bilfred

      No. He just got so lucky, he managed to leave Dan-land and entered mediocre-but-not-all-that-bad-land.

      1. Yotomoe

        He’s still quite a bit away from Joehio but Darnit he’s trying!

  31. Corsair114

    I’m SAILING A-way….

  32. Keroshino

    No Sal, Yo don’t know Danny like we do!

  33. AgentKeen

    If the author ships it, does that make it canon even if it isn’t?

  34. fatso

    I’d ship it. I’d ship that so damn hard!

    1. fatso

      RRRAAAAAAARRRRRGGGH!!! <–Shipping sounds

      1. Yotomoe

        SHIPPING INTENSIFIES.

        1. fatso

          Then again, I’d ship Sal with a baked potato. And with Danny I basically am! Buh-dum tsst

        2. I dont know what to put here

          That joke was half baked.
          Just like Dan.

    2. CallMeIshmael

      I’d ship Danny into the sun. Hell, I’d even pay the cost of freight.

  35. psycoticfart

    im preety sure dan danning it up is just him danning things up

  36. someguywithakatana

    The fact that I didn’t put 2 and 2 together yesterday makes me feel like a complete moron.

  37. Wensleydale

    How long until Danny reaches critical Danness? My money’s on less than a second.

  38. ninja_jesus

    You know, I’m actually quite particular to the thong/short shorts combination she’s wearing. Very street punk. I’d wear it if I wear a girl.

    1. David Willis

      don’t wear girls they’ll put you in crazyjail

      1. Yotomoe

        I can’t pull off a girl anyway. It just doesn’t go with my figure. And when I wear dudes it just makes me look FAT. Ugh…so hard to figure out what to wear nowadays.

        1. GoldStarz

          It’s just so hard to pull of people these days, that’s why I started wearing cacti, they’re much more slimming and they have great protection against people you don’t like!

        2. ninja_jesus

          Have you tried using a crowbar?

          You know… to pull off the girl? 😀

      2. ninja_jesus

        But crazyjail is where they wear men! D:

  39. psycoticfart

    how much dan could a danny dan dan if a damny dan could danny dan?

  40. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

    …I really hate whatever program powers this commenting platform right now.

  41. Biege

    …danny, I refuse to believe you’re anywhere near that stupid. please do not dissapoint me…

    1. GoldStarz

      You have already been disappointed and you don’t even realize it. UoU

      1. Biege

        sadly, I realize. but a guy can hope…

  42. Mr K

    I hope Danny fixes himself up. I feel sorry for him, even if he made some mistakes.

  43. Jake

    Sal enjoys a good metaphor.

    1. Arra

      [applauds you]

  44. Regalli

    … Hmm, so far this is awkward, but not so awful it bursts into flames.

    YOU CAN DO IT, DANNY! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

    1. xKiv

      ‘Cause I still believe in miracles
      I swear I’ve seen a few
      And the time will surely come
      When you can see my point of view
      I believe in second chances
      And that’s why I believe in you

      1. xKiv

        Though I do think the version here feels like it wasn’t touched by somebody who believes in all instruments playing at full volume all the time?

  45. Deemah

    Danny stop, you’re gonna get slugged… Wait go right a head.

  46. Varangian

    That civility is very considerate of you, Sal, thank you.

  47. Kernanator

    Okay, Danny, this is it. I am going to give you one last chance. You’re doing okay for now, but this is the last chance you will get from me before I completely give up on you.

    DON’T DAN IT UP.

    1. I dont know what to put here

      Five bucks ‘e does next panel.

      1. Mr K

        Next comic he will cure cancer and aids, end all wars, and invent time travel

  48. chris73

    Drawing out the tension…

  49. Bob

    It’s a testament to how well Willis has built the Dumbing of Age universe that the idea of Danny and Sal seems off even after their history in the prior comics.

    1. John

      Honestly, Danny/Sal was pretty weird even in the Walkyverse.

      I chalk it up to Sal being nutballs and valuing Danny for being the only person in the world who was too Danny to see that.

      1. Nezumi

        Although, until Billie happened, they were kinda intended to always end up together.

  50. Plasma Mongoose

    The sagging pants fashion never made sense to me, it just looks like a wardrobe malfunction in progress.

    The worse thing is that sagging originated in prison where a prisoner pulls their pants part way down to show that they are ready for some buttsex with whomever wants it, in other works saggy pants = a (man)slut who’s begging for it.

    Not a good thing for a ‘cool’ gal like Sal to emulate, unless…

    1. Derek

      I’m not sure where you got that information from.
      What I understand is that saggy pants DID originate in prison, but it was because prisoners were not allowed belts since some of them would try to commit suicide

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        I googled for more info and it turns out I was wrong about sagging pants = wanting buttsex, but it’s still a lameass fashion to me.

        1. Compulsive Collector

          Then it’s probably a good thing no one who’s ever worn their pants like that was attempting to impress you, huh?

        2. taekwondogirl

          +1

    2. Archivist

      Besides, Sal’s more rocking the ‘insanely tight cutoffs’ look.

  51. TPman

    I was going to say, “those are some pants Sal”, but really they’re only half f some pants.

    1. Badeyes

      I think you need remedial fraction tutoring. Those aren’t even 1/2 a hotpants.

    2. Thasvaddef

      Would half a pair of pants be a single pant?

      1. flamelordkay

        I’m sure someone would be panting.

  52. Tahkuya

    Danny uses awkward introduction, Sal’s defense is reduced. Sal uses Foresight…but it failed!

  53. Gottawonder

    I agree with Plasmamongoose on the fashion miss-statement. Sagging pants just look like pants that don’t fit, be it on a man or a woman.

    Sal is hot, but that ‘outfit’ is not. Looks like she got dressed in the dark and accidently got somebody’s little sisters pants on.

    As for the unlit cigarette, I knew someone who wandered around with one stuck in their face like that, for about a month, while trying to quit. It didn’t work.

    As to Danny ‘not wanting’ to go talk to her’? Seems to me that is exactly what he does want to do. Even after he talked it over with himself and decided that there are too many discrepancies between the way Amazi-girl and Sal are built, talk, wear their hair, and ‘smell’.

    He actually exhibited common sense for a minute, but then: with Billie’s help, his Dannyness took him over and off he went.

    Sal appears to be just enough interested in what in the Hell he thinks he is doing, to venture a guess that he lost a bet and that is why he is there in front of her.

    I DO NOT ship this. NO, please, pretty please, no. No?
    Oh well. Slow train wreaks are interesting in some universes.

    1. That Damn Rat

      I suspect even Danny is not dense enough to believe she is Amazi-Girl for long. I like to believe he is still skeptical about that, as his seemed decidedly unsure about talking to her.

  54. JA

    Screw the leggings, I’m curious as to how the shorts are staying on.

    1. That Damn Rat

      That’s not really that mysterious, they’re obviously quite tight, just ridiculously low cut.

    2. John

      She has ’em stapled to her hipbones.

      Sal is hardcore.

    3. JeanD

      Sal’s fine butt has authentic fabric magnetism 🙂

  55. Jesse

    You mean “Won a bet”. ;D

  56. I dont know what to put here

    Here we goooooo

  57. Janos

    Dumbass thy name is Danny, a Idiot by any other name would still be Danny, Danning of Age…Perhaps Dumbass should now be Dannass… Seriously the hair should be a huge clue this isn’t Amazi-Girl (For Amazi-girl is obviously Faz)

    1. Schist

      Amazi-girl is Faz? I thought it was Jacob in a wig.

  58. Jimmy

    Danny does better than I. I don’t have a lot of experience talking to women way out of my league.

  59. Rani

    …you know, he might be the dumbest invertebrate this side of the Grand Canyon but DAMN does that boy have nerve.

    1. garblegarble

      can’t tell if it’s nerves of steel, or just a brain of soft clay.

    2. Rutee

      …you mean dumbest vertebrate, right? Like, I get that you’re saying he has no backbone, but that’s kinda directly contradicted by ‘nerves of steel’.

      1. Rani

        He’s spineless because he’s indecisive and paralyzed by self-doubt. He has nerve because once he chooses (or let’s be honest here, is pushed into) a course of action, he doesn’t flinch from following it where-ever it goes.

        In other words, in the animal kingdom of DoA, Mr. Wilcox is our cockroach.

  60. Vree

    Sal’s going to score with the entire cast, isn’t she.

    1. AgentKeen

      At the same time!
      (Except for Walky, I would hope…)

      1. Vree

        Suddenly, the source of Sal’s mental problems becomes crystal clear.

      2. Vree

        I’m gonna just leave this here.
        http://itswalky.com/d/20011214.html

  61. Animal

    “Ah just like having it in my mouth.”

    1. Vree

      No, see, in this strip David Willis is cleverly lampooning Groucho Marx. Sal is Marx.
      (Danny’s response had to be cut to protect the T rating.)

  62. omegadez

    THAT STRING! D:

  63. Nym

    *peeks between fingers*

    Okay, this is not going as terribly as I worried . . . but the week is early yet.

  64. XMinusOne

    Danny thinks it’s Amazing-Girl, but it’ s not.

  65. Galatine

    I’m really tired of the ‘people confusing Amazi-Girl for someone else’ thing. Just… so, so tired of it. Good job, Danny. You’re really danning up your own life. FFS, they look /nothing alike/.

  66. Charlie Spencer

    Sal’s entire outfit should be available in the store.

  67. CianM1301

    Who would have thought you could add suspense to stupidity?

    1. David Willis

      probably the guys who wrote The Office

    2. xKiv

      Anybody in the entertainment business ever?

  68. SeanNOLA

    X-Men: Origins: Roomies

  69. Bemmie

    Has it occurred to others that Danny knows that Sal isn’t Amazing girl but at this stage is thinking stuff it, I’ve screwed up all my other relationships, might just try again, what have I got to lose?

    -Bem

    1. Jackson

      With anyone else I might be inclined to think so…but that doesn’t sound like Danny.

    2. John

      No.

      I’m going to pass up the cheap shot at Danny’s intelligence and perceptiveness and just point out that he seems to be expecting some kind of recognition from Sal here.

  70. kelticat

    Meanwhile, I’m thinking that the Walkertons walk by unexpectedly to visit Walky, and Sal’s mom notices the outfit, but doesn’t realize that it is her daughter wearing it. And she gets scandalized and starts bongoing about how standards are sliding in school, and how Walky should never even meet that person. And later all three see Sal dressed like that, and she starts bongoing about it again, and Walky says “But that’s Sal.”

    Not likely to happen…or is it?

  71. KT

    After that last panel, I’ve decided that Sal’s leggings are staying in place because they’re actually attached to her short shorts, like skirt leggings.

    …and the short shorts are only there because otherwise she’d be in a black bikini.

    Her outfit makes so much more sense if she’s really just waiting for Marcie to show up so they can go swimming.

    1. ironbillie

      My guess is sock glue. Its all the rage in Japan.

  72. Quietlythundering

    DO IT WILLIS 😀

  73. man in black

    Great page

  74. sarah

    It might go better than we think and Danny gently finds out that no walkies twin is not amzi-girl and then he starts to think its amber and wouldn’t that be cool

  75. Badeyes

    I’ve been thinking all evening that at some point Danny is going to start carrying around a mask and asking girls to put it on…

  76. Somebody

    Ha, she likes having it in her mouth.
