  1. Jen Aside

    I thought it was cluelessness…

    1. NCP19

      I always thought it was his attention to detail.

      1. Squidiggles

        I thought it was his uncanny ability to figure out any and all plot twists after the first ten minutes. Or maybe his ability to recognize distant relations even after not seeing them for more than a decade. Or that he helps the FBI identify suspects from grainy security videos in his spare time. Or his tight glutes.

        1. Chronos

          Nope. It’s his ability to go anywhere unnoticed, making him the perfect spy and/or assassin. All corporate hostile takeovers and bloody revolutions in the last 5 years have him to thank for their successes.

    2. GrrArg42

      No! That’s my job!

      1. L

        Your gravatar makes that all the funnier XD

  2. TheStranger

    Listen to the girl, Danny.

    If for no other reason than she wants to buy you pizza.

    Piiiiiizza.

    1. Wonder Wig

      (Or sub)

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Or better yet, a Pizza Sub.

        1. Yotomoe

          I imagine a submarine made completely of pizza.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Powered by white hot cheese.

        3. Tucker

          Nuclear cheese!

        4. Yotomoe

          The red Sauce-tober.

        5. Rex Hondo

          “Give me a pickle, Vasily. One pickle only please.”

        6. davidbreslin101

          I imagine a pizza that’s a bit kinky about being dominated.

        7. fatemaster1

          That’s disturbing!

    2. Rex Hondo

      She’s smart, sufficiently geeky, and hot. On top of that, she’s asking you out and offering to pay. I swear to all the gods, Danny, if you do not go, I will tear asunder the boudaries between dimensions just to smack you upside your clueless head.

      1. Yotomoe

        Way to tear time/space a new one.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        If people told me 20 years ago that geekiness would be classed as a highly desirable trait for women to possess, I would not have believed you.

        1. RedScharron

          Hell, if you’d told me that 12 years ago*, I wouldn’t have believed you.

          *(i.e. when I was still in school. Seriously, where the hell was all this love for bespectacled geeky redheads when I was in school!?)

        2. RedScharron

          Dammit, missed closing a tag.

        3. Ancestral Hamster

          Hey, a Red panda! Cute!

        4. Rex Hondo

          Unfortunately, most guys who are really into bespectacled geeky girls are also the guys most likely to be too shy to make a move.

        5. Plasma Mongoose

          A conundrum indeed…

        6. Rex Hondo

          …wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in luscious dark chocolate.

        7. L

          Smothered in secret sauce.

        8. Yotomoe

          Or the ones who’d unintentionally date her superhero counterpart.

        9. ArkhamTexan

          Which is why being one of the few guys who break that mould to ask girls out made me get ALL THE SEXY, GEEKY bongoES! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! ALLLLLLLL THE LADIES! Really, willpower is the most important thing of anything. LIFE IS GOOD! Thank goodness I decided to emulate the chutzpah of Wolverine rather than someone like Spider-Man or something.

        10. agentksilver

          When I graduated from high school seven years ago, I wasn’t able to get a date, even if I was the one who asked. And I was/am a bespectacled, geeky girl. But the very next year I was able to get a date. Multiple dates! What happened between 2005 and 2006?

        11. Rex Hondo

          Just spitballing, but guys in your age bracket grew up a bit and got a little less dumb? Because, speaking as a guy, when we’re in our teens and twenties, we are dumb.

  3. David Herbert

    Hooray, more Galasso. Wonder if Danny will do better than Joe did when it comes to Conquest showing up?

  4. Yotomoe

    Danny seems to be channelin’ some lovestruck Walky in that last panel.

    1. Doctor_Who

      He’s thinking “Dat large posterior…I am predisposed towards such.”

      1. Kernanator

        Let’s face it, he’s not the only one.

        1. Jackson

          He is incapable of prevarication. As are the other brothers.

  5. Plasma Mongoose

    Too Much Availibility = Loose, therefore Danny is a man-slut.

    1. Yotomoe

      Joe’s finally rubbed off on him. and not in that way.

      1. NCP19

        Is that better or worse than Joe rubbing him off?

        1. Rex Hondo

          And thus were a thousand slash fics launched.

    2. Noah

      Tell that to Billy.

  6. Joe H

    All the girls love it when I tell them I have absolutely no plans and I’m free all week.

    You can get anything you want at Galasso’s restaurant. (Except Galasso.)

    1. agentksilver

      But that is what I want most of all!

    2. Wack'd

      Galasso/Alice OTP!

      1. agentksilver

        Alice…in Wonderland?

        1. begbert2

          Alice…in Chains?

        2. J

          Alice … Cooper?

  8. hinoteoni

    Galasso?! When did this happen?

  9. Wack'd

    Man, even Danny admits he’s got nothing to ofter.

    Amber’s interest continues to baffle me.

    1. Yotomoe

      Guys like Danny are rare. Let’s be honest. How many of you have stared at her rack even once since this comic started. Danny hasn’t once and she’s right in front of him.

      1. Alex Stritar

        By the looks of that last panel, t’s probably cause Danny’s an ass man. XD

      2. Tenn

        Oh, he stares. He just does it between panels.

      3. Nerdman

        …Well, NOW I’m staring. Probably. Maybe. No. Don’t hit me.

    2. agentksilver

      He talks to her politely. He made his interest known, once, before he decided to go in a new direction). They have similar interests and have a repore set up. He is not from her original social group, which she is trying to leave behind, even though they keep dragging her back kicking and screaming. And he really isn’t bad-looking by today’s standards — shaggy-haired and skinny. This is enough to justify a mild crush.

      1. begbert2

        I know people aren’t supposed to do this, but I find it difficult to resist and weakly try to justify it by imagining it’s a public service.

        It’s ‘rapport’.

        1. agentksilver

          Gahhhh. I knew I was spelling it wrong. I’m updating it from my iphone, so it was either spell it phonetically or close the entire comment to look up the proper spelling. Thanks for correcting me.

        2. Jackson

          I love you, begbert2.

    3. Rex Hondo

      She’s still at the point where she’s choosing to find his cluelessness charming.

    4. Historyman68

      Modesty!

  10. Rayrayrave

    ‘dat butt jiggle

  11. Kafloobop

    Yes! Stuck the landing.

    1. Rex Hondo

      Next up is the pole-vault.

      If you know what I mean…

      1. Kafloobop

        Oh I know what you mean. Wink wink, nudge nudge, imply imply

        1. Rex Hondo

          Say no more!

  12. agentksilver

    Aw, there’s the Amber we all know and love. There. In that last panel.

  13. Pyr05

    Pizza (or subs), Pizza (or subs), Everything’s better with pizza (or subs)!

    From GALASSO’S!

  14. Yotomoe

    DON’T TELL ME WHAT YOUR BEST FEATURE IS

  15. Greg

    So, uh… Danny hit a growth spurt since last time…

    http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/through/

    1. Yotomoe

      Those proportions are crazy, y’all.

      1. Greg

        I saw that! I just didn’t realize how big a difference it was before.

  16. Kernanator

    I’m sorry, what did you say? All my attention was taken by your… sudden movement.

  17. bunivasal

    No, no, you’re right, Danny, Amazi-Girl is going to be totally blown away by your ability to spend entire days, sitting on a step, waiting for her to walk by.

    1. Yotomoe

      Some Day My Prince Will Come

  18. Rex Hondo

    Seriously, though. At the rate he’s going, is Danny ever going to get that basis-of-comparison kiss?

    1. imperator

      He has to do it. For science. Its the only way.

  19. Tucker

    —–Top of the head commentary.

    This comic is like Community, but care-free as if it was aired on SciFi, and paced as if it was produced by CBS.

    I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or a criticism (spits on CBS) – probably a compliment. The real point is, I love Community.

    I will kill all of the children of all of your executives NBC if you don’t start airing that shit soon. Real soon.

    /disclaimer: I don’t kill children – only adults.

    1. Tucker

      No more 2:30AM posting for me I think…

      …This is starting to feel like a bottle episode.

      1. Hugz

        Just remember, October 19th is a state of mind.

        1. Tucker

          Apparently it’s February 7th now.

      2. thomas0comer

        It’s okay. We’ve all stricken this comment from our headcanon.

  20. Jackson

    WELL YOU’RE NOT BEING VERY AVAILABLE FOR PIZZA (OR SUBS) RIGHT NOW, DANNY.

  21. T Campbell

    Okay, I guess this was too obvious for everyone else to point out?

    Amber just displayed serious athletic prowess right in front of Danny. Far more than you’d expect from a shy, WoW-addicted girl. In addition to advertising her general fitness, birthin’ hips and the large posterior Dina mentions (“Mate with me, my mulleted monkey”) she’s dropping Danny a subtle hint that she’s capable of MOVING like Amazi-Girl, guiding him gently to the realization he wants to make, and the realization she wants him to make, without condescending to him.

    AND SO THEY DANCE THE DANCE.

    1. agentksilver

      Huh. I didn’t even think that Amber was trying to send that sort of message to Danny. The sticking-the-landing was too subtle, I think. They’ll probably Dance the Dance for a while.

    2. thomas0comer

      I guess so. It doesn’t seem like a very effective way of doing so; we’ve already seen that Danny isn’t trying very hard to make connections.

    3. begbert2

      This was the first thing that I thought, too, but then I looked at the bottom of the panel and realized that she only jumped about three feet, rather than the six or so that I first thought. Perspective is a tricky mistress.

      1. Rognik

        What begbert2 said. I mean, she was able to climb up the short wall, which isn’t a big distance to begin with, so I don’t see how jumping down the wall is any more athletic. If she starts challenging him to a foot race to Galasso’s, or offering him a piggy-back ride or something, you might start having a point, but this wall is not some grand Olympic event.

  22. Tenn

    Large and speechless, huh? Just the way I like my [insert appropriate noun].

    Complete the joke, win a nonexistent prize!

    1. coobee

      Just the way I like my elephants.

      Seriously, small, talkative elephants really drive me crazy.

  23. sarpiedon

    And she sticks the landing

  24. Maycroft

    But it’s also the least appreciated Danny.

  25. Shariku Onikage

    Someone’s gonna forget her bag…

  26. Taigan

    It really does scare me when Danny reminds me of myself.

  27. Sambo

    For some reason I love it how everyone always adds the (or subs) for Galasso’s 😀
