I mean, I’m as corrupted as anyone on the internet, so I did try to come up with a bit where Danny asks Joe if he knows about whether Sal is allergic to nuts, but comes away with the impression that she’s only bothered by a brand called “Dee’s”, and so he tries to figure out if this type of peanut butter contains any and has a very confusing Abbot and Costello bit when he tries to call their helpline for info and gets yelled at, so he makes a turkey sandwich instead.
But yeah, simple is better when it comes to dumb jokes.
You know, I’m honestly a bit sad that I _didn’t_ read it as dirty until I read your comment.
I blame the fact that I don’t think I have ever referred to male ejaculate as “nut” or related verbiage. I’ve heard others do so, but it never stuck with me.
Personally, if I’m going to use slang, I prefer “seed”.
I feel like if you want to avoid allergens in food for other people, maybe don’t keep allergens in an adjacent sammich but idk, mine are fish allergies
alt-text: now I’m thinking about how we kept joking about I think it was Yakitate Ja-PAN where somebody was carrying around an unwrapped bread in their pocket and was all, “why don’t you try this bread?” and they did and were all like, “THIS IS GODLY BREAD OMG” and now pocket bread is a joke for us
I actually remember one case where a woman got an allergic reaction from swallowing her boyfriend’s, um… “essence” after he’d eaten the allergen in question.
[nsfw] Also known as cum, come, seed, ball-juice[1], baby-gravy, baby batter, penis pancake batter, cock snot[1], man yoghurt, and in some circles that don’t appreciate it, drek.
[1] These are misnomers. Snot is mucus produced in the sinus cavity and is not normally associated with sexual reproduction. Semen is neither mucus, nor produced in the balls (although one ingredient is). It is composed of sperm and seminal fluid. Sperm are produced in the balls, and then travel along the vass deferens to the prostate. In the prostate, sperm mix in with seminal fluid. Seminal Fluid is produced in the prostate and seminal vesicles. This mixture (semen) is what is expelled during male ejaculation (often due to a male climax).
Yes that’s correct, your balls don’t do anything special or notably different during sex with regards to sperm production. They don’t ‘pump out semen’, they don’t become swollen, and they don’t turn blue if you don’t come. If they hurt see a Doctor. If there’s a bump on them, or they *are* swollen, see a Doctor.
Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a good bread to pair with mozzarella and pepperoni? Yesterday’s sandwich discussion got me thinking about something, and any advice would be welcome.
Land-only, unfortunately. Used to be you’d have a horse in front, but recent technological developments have made that obsolete, which put a lot of horses out of work
Too short for a semi … more like what is called a ‘straight truck’ or a ‘box truck’, with the cab/engine/axles/cargo box all on a single frame unit … overall length about thirty feet or so as opposed to a semi tractor with a 53-foot trailer behind it.
This is so endearing and sweet and it makes me worry about what sort of absolute disaster is about to happen when we cut back to Joyce, Joe and the Clintons
Danny even prepared for a peanut allergy, good on him. Personally I’d have taken the turkey sandwich but either one works. Now, are they skipping their afternoon classes as well?
That’s kinda what I was driving at yesterday with the ‘offers Sal the less-mangled of the two’ … y’know, being galante and chivalrous and gentlemanly and thinking about others and what-all.
Don’t have any allergies myself, so my mind never went that route, but this works too.
The fact that girl pants don’t have as many options for pockets is downright despicable. Everyone has needs for pockets. I bet the pants designers and the purse makers are working together. It’s a conspiracy I tell you!
Wouldn’t shock me – my boyfriend was both shocked and outraged when he read the strip that mentioned girls don’t get real pockets.
He was also shocked when I told him a lot of girls keep snacks in their purses. LOOK, WE’VE BEEN DENIED POCKETS, WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR GOLDFISH CRACKERS AND GRANOLA BARS *SOMEWHERE*.
But it would ruin the lines! Those beautiful curves, without being sex goddesses on a pedestal they’d be out competing us for the good jobs. We’d have to up out games an work!
We do not. Or we get pockets that are sewn shut – or they’re sewn shut and don’t actually have anything under it so you can’t cut ’em open. Or they’re like….3 inches deep if that.
Yeah this is my college relationship. I’m the curly-haired wildcard, minus all the trauma; he’s the nerd who literally brought sandwiches to be prepared for our adventures. He even kinda looked like Danny. Ours ended badly (on his part), but it’s still a nice blast from the past.
If it’s any consolation, the ’87 music video for ‘Oh Yeah’ features one of the performer’s kid daughter clearly having an obviously innocent and hillarious time making the video. Making a music video may not have come about (stretching the maybe here) if the song wasn’t popularized in ‘Day Off’.

Peanuts aren’t nuts, and peanut allergy and nut allergy are two separate things – I have a nut allergy, and the smell of peanuts reminds me uncomfortably of nuts, but I’m not allergic to peanuts.
Lots of things are botanically true, but not really relevant in culinary terms. Peanuts are peas, but we use them like nuts. Tomatoes are fruits, but we use them more like vegetables.
Danny isn’t Dannying it up. Color me surprised!
(Also this is probably the cutest romance Sal has been involved in in either universe, I’m glad we’re breaking the rule of not revisiting Walkyverse relationships, because this is so cute)
I’m from Belgium, in Europe, and I like peanut butter/blueberry jam sandwiches.
Which… given that I also like pancakes with marshmallows and mint chocolate, probably means a whole lot less coming from me than from any other european.
PB&J is a sandwhich staple in the USA for decades at least.
The real question is what types of ingredients Danny used.
That’s visibly white bread, so boo.
Looks like grape jelly instead of strawberry, so yay.
The real question is whether Danny used smooth or crunchy peanut butter.
…but, given he uses white bread it is inconceivable to me he would use crunchy.
Well not soon like in a few months, but it wouldn’t be DoA if there wasn’t drama.
I think most of their interactions will be like this for a while to establish their status quo, and then we’ll get the drama bombs where Sal and Danny have to struggle with staying together.
I’m firmly on the side of the commenters who are dreading what Willis is going to pull to ruin this. I don’t know what it will be, but I know it will be horrible.

I’m not a huge fan of turkey, myself, but when I was in college, I always had the makings for ham sandwiches in my room. That was pretty much what I lived on a lot of the time… our food service was terrible — it was, no kidding, ruled to be cruel and unusual punishment to serve to prisoners — and my first year on campus the nearest fast food was half an hour away across state lines.
They built a McDonald’s in town over the summer, and my second year, on any given night, you could find about half of campus there, because it was so much better than the stuff the cafeteria was alleging to be food…
a sincere question. isn’t there a sort of collective kitchen in dorms? We have that here, and people sharing a dorm often have the occasion to cook and share a meal (more than often if there are african students at your dorm level).
Danny, if she had a nut allergy, what would she be doing with you?
snuggling, obvs
unless you meant the “clean” nut, idk how to read that joke (dirty/no)
I thought the Doctor meant Danny was a nut, as in a silly person. Was I too tame?
Yes, that’s what I meant.
I mean, I’m as corrupted as anyone on the internet, so I did try to come up with a bit where Danny asks Joe if he knows about whether Sal is allergic to nuts, but comes away with the impression that she’s only bothered by a brand called “Dee’s”, and so he tries to figure out if this type of peanut butter contains any and has a very confusing Abbot and Costello bit when he tries to call their helpline for info and gets yelled at, so he makes a turkey sandwich instead.
But yeah, simple is better when it comes to dumb jokes.
I can see the whole bit it in my head, and I’m laughing. Thank you.
You know, I’m honestly a bit sad that I _didn’t_ read it as dirty until I read your comment.
I blame the fact that I don’t think I have ever referred to male ejaculate as “nut” or related verbiage. I’ve heard others do so, but it never stuck with me.
Personally, if I’m going to use slang, I prefer “seed”.
As a euphemism, it’s after my time. “Nut” to me means the testicles, not their product.
I’ve heard “nut” as a euphemism for ejaculating, but not for the product.
I like “jizz” as both the act and the substance. If I’m feeling formal, I go with “gyzym” for he substance. It’s an old word meaning “power.”
That looks completely made-up.
It’s in the famous Ginsburg work HOWL.
If she had a nut allergy, she could never have survived long in this school.
(Given all the crazy people.)

Depends how sensitive the allergy is, but with them wrapped separately, most people would be okay.
That sounds nice. I have such a severe allergy that my poor boyfriend can’t eat peanut butter sandwiches if he intends to be anywhere near my mouth.
I actually remember one case where a woman got an allergic reaction from swallowing her boyfriend’s, um… “essence” after he’d eaten the allergen in question.
I think the word you’re looking for is semen.
[nsfw] Also known as cum, come, seed, ball-juice[1], baby-gravy, baby batter, penis pancake batter, cock snot[1], man yoghurt, and in some circles that don’t appreciate it, drek.

How could I forget jizz and jism? Thank you @BarerMender!
P.P.S. nut-bu… you know what? No. I’m going to throw in the towel and hand this off to a higher authority on semen synonyms.
Yeah, peanut allergies can be very severe and very dangerous.
I was thinking the same. Maybe he figured she at least wouldn’t have a severe one if she eats in the caf?
I suspect that he kept them in separate pockets.
Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a good bread to pair with mozzarella and pepperoni? Yesterday’s sandwich discussion got me thinking about something, and any advice would be welcome.
Ciabatta bread.
Seconded. Get some good sauce in that thing and you’re in for a treat. And possibly heartburn.
Thirded.
+1
Any crusted bread should be fine.
Other day I had mozzarella and prosciutto, with a tomato squeezed on the sides of a baguette, and it was divine.
He said “pockets”, plural, so I suspect each sandwich was in a separate pocket.
Oh look a truck
Glad we’re riverside and not driving down the road
DANNY, SWERVE!
Oh, it’s a truck! I guess that makes more sense than a boat. I though there might be a lake on the other side of the bridge or something.
Bloomington’s a ways inland, if I’m not mistaken. I don’t know if it’s got much of a boating culture
I’m honestly surprised that Truck-kun isn’t tagged.
Act with integrity, no regrets?
What’s happening with that shadow in the backgtound? Is that like a boat passing by or something?
It’s sort of like a boat, except instead of floating on water it drives on roads
Dang, so that’s one of em amphibious boats? Or is it like, a land-only boat?
Land-only, unfortunately. Used to be you’d have a horse in front, but recent technological developments have made that obsolete, which put a lot of horses out of work
What is this sorcery do you speak of?
Looks like a semi or garbage truck.
Too short for a semi … more like what is called a ‘straight truck’ or a ‘box truck’, with the cab/engine/axles/cargo box all on a single frame unit … overall length about thirty feet or so as opposed to a semi tractor with a 53-foot trailer behind it.
*WOW* You *seriously* know your shadows!
Or his vehicles, in silhouette.
This is so endearing and sweet and it makes me worry about what sort of absolute disaster is about to happen when we cut back to Joyce, Joe and the Clintons
What does it have in its pocketses, precious?
It has a peanut allergy, or a dislike of turkey.
Now I’m just picturing Biblo waving a stick with a peanut tied to the end at Galoom, instead of his funny elf dagger. It’s a marked improvement.
Should have been a couple of nice ‘taters.
What’s taters, preciousss?
PO-TAY-TOES. Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew!
I will grate them with carrots, feta cheese, and red onions. Then make a gratin and there is nothing you can do to stop me!
They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard!
We will not abandon our friends to suffering and torment!
Danny even prepared for a peanut allergy, good on him. Personally I’d have taken the turkey sandwich but either one works. Now, are they skipping their afternoon classes as well?
That’s kinda what I was driving at yesterday with the ‘offers Sal the less-mangled of the two’ … y’know, being galante and chivalrous and gentlemanly and thinking about others and what-all.
Don’t have any allergies myself, so my mind never went that route, but this works too.
It’s a good thing she doesn’t have a nut allergy for when he-
Ah I’m sure you know where I’m going with that.
For when he surprises her with peanut butter and fudge brownies?
Kinky.
Fudge-tastic!
It’s Peanut Butter and Jelly Time™ !!!!!
Fun fact, these characters were now born after that meme, and the grave yawns before us all.
I’d call that *two* fun facts, really.
*Sarah appears with a baseball bat*
Not as good as a microwave, better than a crappy dorm room toaster oven.
Much like my heart, Sal, minus the pockets because I wear girl pants.
The fact that girl pants don’t have as many options for pockets is downright despicable. Everyone has needs for pockets. I bet the pants designers and the purse makers are working together. It’s a conspiracy I tell you!
Wouldn’t shock me – my boyfriend was both shocked and outraged when he read the strip that mentioned girls don’t get real pockets.
He was also shocked when I told him a lot of girls keep snacks in their purses. LOOK, WE’VE BEEN DENIED POCKETS, WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR GOLDFISH CRACKERS AND GRANOLA BARS *SOMEWHERE*.
? Girls don’t get pockets ??
Worse. They get fake pockets that can almost hold a Tic-Tacs box.
But it would ruin the lines! Those beautiful curves, without being sex goddesses on a pedestal they’d be out competing us for the good jobs. We’d have to up out games an work!
We do not. Or we get pockets that are sewn shut – or they’re sewn shut and don’t actually have anything under it so you can’t cut ’em open. Or they’re like….3 inches deep if that.
Yeah this is my college relationship. I’m the curly-haired wildcard, minus all the trauma; he’s the nerd who literally brought sandwiches to be prepared for our adventures. He even kinda looked like Danny. Ours ended badly (on his part), but it’s still a nice blast from the past.
*from the passing truck*
–A Man of Means by no means…KING OF THE ROAD!
Huh, I might have gone with Oh Yeah. But maybe I’m the only one reminded of gummies that are warm and soft from “bein’ in my pocket“.
that whole segment has managed to become even more uncomfortable (which is remarkable, really) due to later revelations.
If it’s any consolation, the ’87 music video for ‘Oh Yeah’ features one of the performer’s kid daughter clearly having an obviously innocent and hillarious time making the video. Making a music video may not have come about (stretching the maybe here) if the song wasn’t popularized in ‘Day Off’.

They cute.
I need to sleep now and that’s all I can think to say.
All you need to say, Shipping Bestie.
Can I be a Shipping Bestie too? I’m kinda all in on this one.
Yes!
I suppose I can forgive your transgressions against JoJo.
I still like them! But Sal’s my favourite character, so her ships get top billing. 😛
Wait wait, how do we sign up as shippers? Is there a form or an application process?
Cute motherfuckers. I love them.
Getting dangerously close to Hank Scorpio territory, but at least they were individually wrapped.
Imagine how great America could’ve been if they’d just ceded the eastern seaboard to him? Instead we got a chee-toe dud.
So, Danny, you could say that besides the sammiches, you ALSO had some… Hot Pockets?!
*drum roll sound effect*
Luckily I did a CTRL-F for it before doing the same joke. Great minds think alike 🙂
I, on the other hand, did not! Oh well, great minds and all that.
Better than purse muffins.
This makes me feel happy
It’s going to suck when Sal is recruited by the government to fight aliens.
Danny will wait for her, and when Sal gets home she’ll have comfort and happiness waiting for her.
Cozy winter nights holdin’ hands by the fire, warm summer sunsets sittin’ on the porch-swing listenin’ to the crickets. Weekly dinners with the Joeycs to keep up on everyones grand-kids.
He’ll cheer her on.
He’ll bring sandwiches to the exciting adventures.
…That sounds amazing
I’m loving how wholesome these past strips have been.
These two are absolutely *adorable*.
I can’t put my finger on it exactly, but there’s a joke in here somewhere about Hot Pockets.
Thermo-pockets!
Sal and Danny together is like liquid serotonin to my eyeballs
Serotonin may promote functional well-being, if you want a real feeling of joy, you’re looking for dopamine. (I think, I look forward to being corrected by our resident neuro-psychiatrists and neuro-physiologists)
It’s a nice touch that Sal has the same ‘licking lips in anticipation’ expression as Walky.
it still not too late to find some secure and confortable place for yourself, Sal.
Sal is really enjoying Danny’s warm heart♡. Even Danny’s warm in general…. Time for them hugs like there is no tomorrow!
Charmingly boring/boringly charming, haha
POCKET SAND…IES!
Pokésans.
Are pocket sandwiches better than butt tacos?
Willis will make me cry with this couple and I just don’t want anything bad to happen here. But I’m 100% sure that it will.
Peanuts aren’t nuts, and peanut allergy and nut allergy are two separate things – I have a nut allergy, and the smell of peanuts reminds me uncomfortably of nuts, but I’m not allergic to peanuts.
Things i wasnt expecting to learn from the doa comments, that peanuts are actually from the pea family and a legume! Thanks, eh, whatever!
“goober peas”
Just because it’s botanically true hasn’t stopped peanuts from being lumped into nuts as a category by general parlance.
You are correct though.
Lots of things are botanically true, but not really relevant in culinary terms. Peanuts are peas, but we use them like nuts. Tomatoes are fruits, but we use them more like vegetables.
Danny isn’t Dannying it up. Color me surprised!
(Also this is probably the cutest romance Sal has been involved in in either universe, I’m glad we’re breaking the rule of not revisiting Walkyverse relationships, because this is so cute)
Plenty of Walkyverse relationships have been revisited in DoA prior to this.
The rule isn’t “No walkyverse relationships” it’s just that he doesn’t want to write them if he doesn’t have anything new to do with them.
peanut butter and jelly ? man, do they even have taste buds anymore in the US
I’m from Belgium, in Europe, and I like peanut butter/blueberry jam sandwiches.
Which… given that I also like pancakes with marshmallows and mint chocolate, probably means a whole lot less coming from me than from any other european.
PB&J is a sandwhich staple in the USA for decades at least.

The real question is whether Danny used smooth or crunchy peanut butter.
…but, given he uses white bread it is inconceivable to me he would use crunchy.
This is Danny, of course it’s white bread.
You got something against PB&J, bud?
They threw down the gauntlet Spencer. You got this. I got your back, at least until the ground starts looking like PB&J. Then I may get distracted.
D’awwww
This ship keeps getting more and more adorable. Which makes me more and more worried that Willis will sink it soon.

You mean in case she had a peanut allergy, Danny.
Although admittedly it’s not unheard of to find nuts where peanuts are supposed to be.

What kind of student just has turkey on hand?
The kind who remembers there’s a world beyond campus, where grocery stores still exist. Maybe Danny bought bread and lunch meat at Target.
I’m not a huge fan of turkey, myself, but when I was in college, I always had the makings for ham sandwiches in my room. That was pretty much what I lived on a lot of the time… our food service was terrible — it was, no kidding, ruled to be cruel and unusual punishment to serve to prisoners — and my first year on campus the nearest fast food was half an hour away across state lines.
They built a McDonald’s in town over the summer, and my second year, on any given night, you could find about half of campus there, because it was so much better than the stuff the cafeteria was alleging to be food…
a sincere question. isn’t there a sort of collective kitchen in dorms? We have that here, and people sharing a dorm often have the occasion to cook and share a meal (more than often if there are african students at your dorm level).
