    Wow, it’s almost like you’re a whole other person, Amazi-Girl!

    ¬_¬

    1. Auror

      Yeah, I really don’t get how he could confuse Sal for Asma- Er, Amazi-Girl either.

      1. David Herbert

        He’s Danny. Also he desperately wants this to be Amazi-Girl.

        You’d think he could just hold up his hand to cover the top half of her face and realise the jawline doesn’t match.

        1. Historyman68

          WHAT AN AMAZING DISGUISE

        2. Shadow12000

          It’s people like Danny that make Superman feel that his identity is safe.

        3. GoldStarz

          Actually, that would be the fact that nobody thinks he has a secret identity because what kind of person could just leave their job unexpectedly and still make a living and etc etc.

        4. Babunga

          I think new superman is just an angry blogger or something.

        5. Boom

          Nobody suspects Clark Kent because he’s absolutely useless. He’s the anti-Superman. That’s the disguise.

        6. John

          “So, he’s immune to bullets, can make pretzels out of I-beams, and could incinerate us all with his laser vision? If he wants to pretend that putting on a bad suit and glasses keeps us from recognizing him, I’ll call him ‘Clark’ all he wants.”

        8. Adinfinitumspero

          what was that from again ?

      2. AckAckAck

        I can imagine the desperate Danny will hit any girls she think is Amazi girl. Including Asma and Mary.

    2. fatso

      I want your avatar as my background now

      1. Keroshino

        I want it as my IPhone background!

    3. Ourorboros

      You have to keep the persona’s secret, or everybody will figure it out. Just wearing glasses (the same frames as Amber) isn’t enough of a disguise these days.
      Besides, Sal is filled with fear for what would happen to Danny if her enemies figured out he is her boyfriend.

      1. Historyman68

        Danny’s enemies… like the entire comment section?

        1. Ourorboros

          That’s okay, I’m pretty sure we can’t break the fourth wall either.

        2. Felix

          unless you can draw fan-fic. ofc.

  2. GoldStarz

    I would too, Sal. I would, too. I also wouldn’t give it back.

  3. EvergreenFir

    denser than lead

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Which makes him a super heavy metal which might improve his street cred. 😛

      1. Waverocker

        Gee PM, who’s your Gravatar now?

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          It’s Joyce as imagined by Sarah in this DoA comic.

          http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/05-saturdays-all-right-for-slighting/reservations/

        2. Historyman68

          Uncanny similarity to Sal’s…hips

      2. AckAckAck

        Nah, he’s just simply resistant to heat to a degree.

    2. GoldStarz

      and harder than diamond (and I mean his skull)

      1. Tunaro

        about as bright as charcoal, too

        1. Yotomoe

          About as Sharp as a pearl.

        2. GoldStarz

          And about as perceptive as someone with anesthesia who is blind, deaf, mute, and anosmic.

        3. The Real Seal

          About as smart as Danny.

        4. John

          Swift as a snail, keen as a hammer, and about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. That’s our Danny!

        5. AckAckAck

          Now we just need to add a jingle!

        6. Historyman68

          Wet… mice?

        7. gka

          This is the best sentence.

        8. Felix

          About as Danny as Danny… Aw, yeah – nailed it!

    3. Aeron

      Hide something from Superman, make Danny swallow it.

    4. Auror

      Denser than the fucking moon.

      1. desolation0

        The density of the moon is only about a quarter that of lead, on average.

        1. GoldStarz

          SCIENCE! wins again!

        2. Auror

          Alright, but can your *SCIENCE* explain why it rains?

        3. ironbillie

          Yes, but can it explain why kid love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

        4. fatso

          yes.

        5. The Real Seal

          prove it

        6. icelizarrd

          But can it explain… LOVE?!

        7. Shaggy-Donahugh

          A cascade of hormones reacting from a scent the female gives off at breeding time, as well as a variety of psychosocial factors such as age, weight, sense of humor, etc.

        8. Ourorboros

          Your question made me burn through 3 laptops before I could post.
          Don’t taunt the poor machines like that.

        9. Rutee

          Reasonably well. It’s ‘just’ an emotional reaction, if a sublime one (also previous dude hilariously fucked it up).

      2. N0083rP00F

        I don’t know that particular moon. Its not on any of my lists of planetary bodies. Are you talking density of dwarf star alloy [aka Dr Who ] or Neutronium [ aka Larry Niven ] ?

  4. Plasma Mongoose

    Tuff grrls choose Samus.

    1. Wonder Wig

      What? This is Mario Kart. She has to choose Laura Croft.

      1. GoldStarz

        No, Cynthia! She’s the best Champion!

        1. Auror

          I, personally, like to play as Chun-Li.

        2. GoldStarz

          But Ryu isn’t in this universe.

        3. Auror

          Yet. Zangief could always appear later.

        4. GoldStarz

          I suppose M. Bison could make a late debut, I mean Faz was just introduced last month so who knows.

        5. Auror

          Fingers crossed for the appearance of Poison, then.

        6. AckAckAck

          It’s like watching Ruth got Schizoprenia.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Samus isn’t in MK? Well Lara does share Sal’s tatse in pants.

        1. Doctor_Who

          MK? Oh, I always choose Scorpion.

        2. GoldStarz

          Scorpion? Eh, I’m more of a Venom fan.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          I was fond of using Sub-Zero.

        4. Auror

          I like to play as Agumon.

        5. Plasma Mongoose

          I prefered Samurai Shodown over games like Mortal Kombat and Charlotte was my favourite character when I did play SS.

        6. BorkAtWork

          You know who else played SS…?

      3. Historyman68

        Is this about Ken? Other universe, guys.

        1. Rutee

          ..

        2. Rutee

          Bloody hell, hit enter. What I was going to say was “…so Jacob, Faz, Amber, and Ethan can come, but not Ken?”. Then I realized you meant the street fighter jokes. Unless he’s Robins Aide, I guess.

  5. Pureed Madness

    Oh Danny. Oh Danny boy. Why? Why Danny?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      …as sung by Barry Manilow.

    2. GoldStarz

      Why Danny? I’ll tell you why Danny…

      …

      Actually, if you choose Danny, you’ve probably exhausted all other options.

      1. The Real Seal

        Option 1: Danny
        Option 2: Common Sense

    3. Ourorboros

      Dorky without being Adorkable.

      1. Kintrex

        Man, I think Danny’s pretty Adorkable.

        1. AdInfinitumSpero

          I know, all the Danny hate, so reviled it crosses dimensions…

  6. John

    He… he really doesn’t have any clue. I keep telling myself, “Danny couldn’t possibly be stupid enough not to figure this out soon,” and he keeps proving me wrong.

    1. fatso

      Well at least her playstyle will show him the truth. You can’t fake that. That’s like a fuckin’ fingerprint!

      1. Yotomoe

        Sal and Amber are the only to humans in the universe that play Mario Kart exactly the same.

        1. fatso

          That could complicate things. But no way a noob can play like a vet. Not even for someone oozeing coolness like Sal.

      2. GoldStarz

        Technically, even with fingerprint there is a chance that they could match… But the chance is so astronomically low, that we just smack an [IMPOSSIBLE!] stick right on there

        1. fatso

          yeah we tend to do that with alot of things

        2. N0083rP00F

          Astronomically low probability …. so there are only a few dozen matches worldwide.

  7. Gottawonder

    Darn it dumped with a very odd screen.
    So what now?
    Gottawonder if Sal is going to make Danny eat that gadget?

  8. Darth Cariss

    I like this storyline. These two are pretty amusing together.

  9. timemonkey

    You know what would make this story hilarious? If it resulted in Sal getting a restraining order on Danny. The sheer difference between the two universes would to worth everything, all the frustration, all the stupidity.

  10. Khantalas

    Sal is getting tired of Danny so much, she’d rather play Mario Kart than talk to him.

    To be fair, he is Danning a lot lately.

    1. John

      Really, who wouldn’t rather play Mario Kart than talk to Danny? I “don’t have a 3DS” and “never played Mario Kart in my life”, but I’ll give it a shot if it means not having to listen to Danny blither at me.

  11. ironbillie

    *Throws 3DS on grounds, stomps and breaks 3DS*
    NEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Yotomoe

      I TOOK IT, AND THREW IT ON THE GROUND!!!

      1. ironbillie

        Now if that was a Game Boy Gray Brick model everything would be fine.

        1. E.R.

          Well, you might damage the floor a little?

        2. Rutee

          DSes are pretty hardy consumer electronics, still. You just can’t run over them with an SUV.

        3. ironbillie

          I need an adult.

      2. Shadlyn Wolfe

        I’M AN ADULT!

  12. The Candyman

    Sal is being more lenient than expected.

    1. Aakriti

      I agree. I don’t know why though. It’s so unlike her!

      1. Pizkie

        To be fair, her usual tactics is to insult and run. Seeing as she’s waiting for someone, that strategy isn’t accessible.

      2. N0083rP00F

        I think this is because she is averse to being expelled.

  13. Pizzathehutt

    Sal probably perfers a PS Vita, but everyone likes Mario Cart!

    1. GoldStarz

      At least, until it comes time for PvP.

    2. ironbillie

      I Don’t.

      1. Auror

        Then you, friend, are living a lie.

        1. ironbillie

          The only lie I live in that I am wearing pants.

        2. GoldStarz

          Or has he found the hidden truth?

        3. Keroshino

          Mario kart is love, Mario kart is life!

    3. Yotomoe

      I don’t like Mario Cart.
      Mario Kart on the other hand…

      1. ironbillie

        Because Poor Literacy is Kewl

  14. Opus the Poet

    He’s Danning it up to epic proportions now. Soon the Danitude will be completely off the scale.

    1. xKiv

      Impossible. The scale starts at 1 Dan, and ends at 1 Dan.

  15. Wonder Wig

    At least Danny hasn’t tried snogging her….

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Thanks for that image WW.

      1. Yotomoe

        It’s the best image.

    2. Keroshino

      …Yet!!!

    3. Kelly

      That word never fails to throw me…

  16. Baker

    Ok Danny, so you are still a total idiot at social situations. Are you going to succeed on your NERD check at least? Gonna notice she doesn’t play nearly as damn well as your level 120 paladin pasty pale girlfriend?

    1. GoldStarz

      Oh she’s “failing” to preserve her secret identity.

    2. Ourorboros

      The Fail is strong with this one.

      Unfortunately, Sal is not going to take this one herself. Certainly not with anybody else.

  17. Gottawonder

    Any more teeth showing in panel 4 and his ‘smile’ will meet itself around the other side of his head.
    I don’t think Sal is going to stomp on it.
    I hope she makes him eat it, but she is being extremely patient, or was, which portends…what? Only Willis knows.

  18. fatso

    You’d think by now he’d at least go “Wait a sec, only one other person on campus has a 3ds… I just saw her playing it. I am stupid.”

    1. GoldStarz

      I’m actually gonna counter this argument with a: “We don’t know that for sure”. I mean, there are still incidentals, not to mention some minor characters might even own one and we just didn’t see it because we had no reason to.

      1. fatso

        Yeah that’s true but are 3ds’s really that popular? I never see anyone with one. Plus I realize that there is just no applying logic to Danny.

        1. GoldStarz

          3DSs are actually pretty popular from what I’ve seen, although it took about a year and half for them to start really selling.

          Also, on the logic-to-Danny thing, point. Danny is a walking void of anti-logic.

        2. fatso

          I never saw the point of the 3ds if you don’t use the 3d feature (I wouldn’t). I’d rather get an SP or DS for less but then, I”m a cheap bastard.

        3. Reepicheep-chan

          The 3ds has newer games, some of them are really good. The extra stuff is fun to.

          Of course NOW you could get a 2ds and still get to play 3ds game.

        4. AckAckAck

          Newer games? You mean a lot of HD versions right? A lot of good games are stuck in Japan or Europe thanks to region locking.

          I prefer to grab the Vita, at least it’s region free.

        5. Shadlyn Wolfe

          Also, a lot of the grown-ups who have them (like everyone in my household) don’t carry them around with them; they play them at home, on the couch.

        6. Kladeos

          I need to get a 3DS for PersonaQ…

        7. Marisa Mockery

          I go to a real life college and I pick up at least 3-10 miis every time I hit the cafeteria. So, yes. Popular. And they all play Pokemon XD

    2. John

      There are like 40,000 students on IU’s Bloomington campus. I’m betting Danny and Amber are not the only ones with 3DSes.

      1. fatso

        yeah I was just kidding but still.

    3. Ourorboros

      Amber and Dan are Comp Sci majors. They live in a dorm with a bunch of other kids away from home for the first time, but still with the stuff bought when they didn’t have to pay their own room and board.
      So I’m guessing he sees a higher than average amount of 3DS’s.

      1. Kernanator

        I go to a California State University (CSU), and I can confirm that there are at least 100 individuals with 3DSs on campus.

    4. xKiv

      And that person is Amazi-Girl’s butler.

  19. JBO

    I would now like to take a minute to congratulate Willis on setting up this situation with years of planning. His long game borders Echiro Oda levels.

    1. Yotomoe

      Does that mean someone is gonna get punched with lava?

      1. Kelly

        Now I am sad 🙁

      2. JBO

        No it means someone will die standing and use his last moments to troll the entire world.

  20. etyb

    Damn he’s stupid.

  21. Plasma Mongoose

    Even if Danny figures out that Sal isn’t Amazi-Girl, it would not surprise me one bit if upon seeing Marcie, who is quite athletic as well as sporting a similar general appeanance to Amber, assumes that she might be Amazi-Girl instead.

    1. Yotomoe

      But Marcie has only been shipped with Sal and Sierra. Clearly she has a type.

    2. Keroshino

      That’s just stupid Enough to happen!

    3. Ourorboros

      Plus Marcie has glasses like Amazi-Girl.

      Marcie does have the build, but so do 1/3 to 1/2 the women on campus, apparently. The hard part to figure is this – the athletic women in DoA aren’t built that way. So what translates?
      Dorothy certainly doesn’t look like she was on the track team for running. There is a reason runners have the same build – a “runner’s build” in fact.

      Plus you are asking for Danny to notice something.

    4. Bill

      Danny has met Amazi-Girl and carried on conversations with her.  Marcie, on the other hand, has never yet spoken a word in any of her appearances, and even Sal has referred to her use of sign language (AMSLan).  I am convinced that Marcie is either speech- or hearing-impaired, and therefore cannot be Amazi-Girl.

      Although playing a deaf-mute would be a helluva way to keep a secret identity — it worked for Zorro’s companion Bernardo (as played by Gene Sheldon) in the 1957 TV series!

      1. Blackbird

        “Lance Hunt can’t be Captain Amazing! Lance Hunt wears glasses!”
        “He takes them off when he’s in costume.”
        “Then how does he see?”

      2. Ourorboros

        If Sal is waiting for Marcie and can’t wait to get out of this conversation, then they’d pretty much leave when she gets there.
        Since Marcie can hear, Sal just says “let’s go”. Marcie nods, Danny has no reason to see that Marcie is mute.
        In fact, he might believe that there was recognition so she wanted to leave to protect him from her enemies.

  22. ironbillie

    Well, Happy Thanksgiving America! Eat well, be grateful you don’t work all Wal-Mart and if you do my God (or whoever) have mercy on your soul.

  23. Kernanator

    Danny, this should be a clue, even if it doesn’t point toward her not being Amazi-Girl, it should at least point to her wanting you to not talk to her.

    But who am I kidding, this is Danny. He couldn’t find a clue if it was represented by a big blue pawprint.

    1. Ourorboros

      I think each awkward moment of this failure of conversation only convinces him more that Sal is Amazi-Girl.

      Remember a few pages (days) ago when a fair amount of posters thought Danny didn’t really believe Sal was Amazi-Girl? He’s pretty much proceeded straight ahead like he whole heartedly believes. He isn’t even trying to make sure.

  24. Doctor_Who

    Watch, Sal turns out to be the most badass Mario Kart player in history. She instantly loves it and soon she’s walking around with Mario hats and shirts like Joyce with D&MM.

  25. Yotomoe

    Now Kiss.
    No need to take out the cigarette.

    1. John

      Light it first.

      1. Jo Pearson

        You made me splurt out my iced coffee.

  26. I don't know what to put here.

    C’mon, Dan.
    Suck…
    Suck…
    Suck…!

    1. ironbillie

      Operation Vacusuck has commence!

  27. Gottawonder

    That’s a thought, Marcie as Amazi-girl. Billie points out the physical resemblance and off goes Danny to…..he wouldn’t, would he?
    yeah, he would.
    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    1. Ourorboros

      Billie won’t notice, she’s convinced Sal is it.

      1. John

        I’m just wondering if Billie is still watching this trainwreck.

        1. Ourorboros

          Who could take their eyes off? Remember, she didn’t believe that Danny was Amazi-Girl’s bf. She’d be watching him magnificently fail.

  28. etyb

    I tell you hwut, that boy ain’t right.

    1. Keroshino

      Yep!

    2. Ourorboros

      Uh huh.

  29. Gottawonder

    Late thought. I wonder who it is Sal is waiting for?
    I think I missed that if it was brought up.
    Are she and Walky talking yet?
    Maybe Jason?

    1. timemonkey

      Probably the same friend she’s always seen with: Marcie.

    2. Ourorboros

      Yet? She yelled at Walky yesterday (?) or about a month back in real time.
      It should take a couple years (our time) to get beyond that.

  30. Kladeos

    I hate to say it but I’m looking forward to where this is going.

    1. ironbillie

      $10 these two are fucking by next Friday

      1. Kladeos

        God I hope not. Sal can do so much better.

        1. Tahkuya

          is Jason the ta better?

        2. timemonkey

          Slightly.

        3. Rutee

          Uh, yeah. He has a good body, and is a good lay. He’s also smarter and more dignified.

        4. niblik

          I find Jason to be a bore. But mind you, thats my personal opinion.

      2. Blackbird

        Next Friday real world time (roughly 5-10 minutes from now DoA time) or next Friday DoA time (strip to be seen in May 2016)?

    2. Ourorboros

      ER and the back of a squad car.

  31. Gottawonder

    Doh! And I was just talking about Marcie, Timemonkey.
    You are very much most likely correct.

  32. Gottawonder

    Yes indeed, so am I Kladeos.

  33. Fen_Star

    I am really wanting Sal to fall for Danny now.

    1. JBO

      As in fall on top of him when she climbs out of a window?

  34. ninja_jesus

    QUIT BEATING AROUND THE BUSH AND ASK HER IF SHE’S AMAZI-GIRL! D:<

  35. LiaHansen

    This is the greatest way to start a friendship i think I’ve ever seen.

  36. Lavaticmay

    Oh man, he honestly thinks her wanting him to leave her alone is all part of the act of keeping her identity secret, geez Dan you make it hard to root for you.

    1. Ourorboros

      If you were embracing his essential Danniness you wouldn’t say that.
      I haven’t read the previous stuff, but this is consistent with his DoA character.

    2. Yet Another Laura H.

      I kind of want him to have subconsciously known all along, but also subconsciously figured, “If she is keeping it from me, there’s a reason, and I can wait for her… forever.” But I’m kind of a sap.

  37. John

    Hmm. Odds that Danny figures out that Billie’s wrong when Sal finds Amazi-Girl on the Streetpass thing and gets in a PvP game against her?

    … Odds that that happens and Danny still doesn’t catch the hint?

    1. Keroshino

      First Question – 15% chance!
      Second Question – 85% chance!

    Is Sal grabbing the DS to play it or smash it on the ground?

    Also, anyone reminded of Walky when she said “this is correct”? 😛 Finally we see some sibling resemblance.

    1. Ourorboros

      Or to throw it far away so he chases after it and goes away.

  39. Jo Pearson

    Ironically, Danny’s approach must presently appear more ballsy than clueless to Sal.

    I wonder when/if Willis is to pull on that particular rug.

  40. Rani

    Oh jesus christ…
    Jesus Christ.

    Willis, you’re gonna pull a Twelfth Night on us, aint ya.

    And then Danny is only going to date Sal bc he thinks she is Amazi-girl? And dump her bc she isnt?

    1. Pope William T Wodium

      You might be half right?

  41. Keroshino

    ~Sal’s mind~
    – Playing a silly video game!
    – Listening to this idiot speak!
    ——
    Come here Mario, we got some Karting to do!

    Although honestly I think she would play as Luigi.

  42. Kiggy

    Sigh
    *shakes head disapprovingly*

  43. nothri

    …..Anyone else feel like this is Willis’ revenge for all those endless “Sal must be Amazigirl/Ultra!car/batman” comments we love to make?

    1. timemonkey

      What do you mean we? I thought those jokes were stupid the fist time they were made.

      1. Doom Shepherd

        Everyone who made those jokes needs some fist time.

  44. AckAckAck

    Smashed 3DS incoming.

    It pained me to see a game console got destroyed. But this is 3DS, stupid region locking ruin all the fun.

    So… SMASH IT SAL! SMASH IT WITH MUCH GUSTO!

    1. Kernanator

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

  45. newllend

    Hm this is going well, man if she doesn’t like video games what in the hell does she do
    for fun?

    1. John

      Jason.

      1. vonnegut

        +5

    2. Rutee

      …oh, nerds.

  46. KKoro

    Okay, NOW I hate Danny. This is what it took, is this ridiculous display.

  47. wren

    this… this is such an interesting fanbase.

    i mean heaping all of this hate on a character is one thing, but it just seems so… unnecessary.

    holy hell you people need to calm down.

    1. ninja_jesus

      I’m mad because he represents my stupidity.

      1. wren

        i suppose i’m just annoyed because a vast majority of people on here judge this guy so quick. all of the characters in this comic have their weaknesses and flaws, and they have made some downright terrible decisions, but no one else seems to get as much flak as danny.

        and most of the comments are “jesus he’s dumb”, in relation to amazi-girl. think about it: has anyone else who has seen amazi-girl and amber made the connection?

        1. Rani

          It’s been 3 volumes.

        2. Bill

          How many people have seen as much of Amazi-Girl (pun intended) as Danny has … or as frequently?

        3. newllend

          Nobody hates him , people just find him to be a naive dumbass, witch at time he seems to fit the image , trust me I’ve seen people vent there hate on a character before compared to this, he just seems to the loveable idiot

        4. wren

          nah, people on here go CRAZY. it’s not “oh that’s cute, he doesn’t realize it’s her…” it’s “DANNY IS AN IDIOT I HATE HIM” or something more harsh then that. it’s insane.

    2. Ourorboros

      Even for just DoA it’s been a few years in our time.
      I’ll also point out that while each character has their faults, Danny has no real strengths. His faults are distinctly un-male too. I can (and have) detailed them and the fact that he is dumb or unperceptive never made the list.
      Well Mary seems to have no redeeming qualities, but she is clearly a background supporting character at this point. Maybe if DoA goes to 2 years real time = 1 year DoA time we get more.
      Even Joyce, whom I don’t enjoy much, has positive qualities and is trying to grow.
      Heck, even DANI, the possible autism spectrum character, is trying to grow.

      Danny, not so much. But my hope for this arc(let) is that it is traumatic enough to get that going. Growth, that is.

      1. timemonkey

        Dina

    3. Pinja

      Its because the term fanbase is synonymous with “Intense shitlording”

      1. ninja_jesus

        Who would ever want to become the lord of shit?

        1. Ourorboros

          Baalzebub
          Baal – “lord” used in many phoenecean languages. Hannibaal.
          zebub – flies.
          Lord of the Flies rules over a pile of shit.

      2. wren

        it sure seems that way.

  48. Wensleydale

    Thi can only end well. Go Sal! I’m sure motorcycle skills are transferable to the 3DS!

    1. davidbreslin101

      I’m wondering about that. If Sal’s crap at the game, Danny will (one hopes) realise his mistake. If she’s good, hijinks ensue.

      1. Scott

        Nah. In Danny-think, her being bad at the game would be a sign she is covering her secret identity.

    2. Kladeos

      I bet she used to play video games with Walky before she got sent away. Just like she used to watch Dexter and the Monkey Master with him.

  49. Miss Hedgey

    That face….why is Sal so cute?

    1. niblik

      I know, right?

  50. Pan Dimensional Being

    Utter adorableness, this whole interaction

  51. CianM1301

    My guess is, a few minutes from now, Amber’s gonna see Danny and Sal together,and think something’s up.

  52. Samae

    But what if she falls in love with the game and then starts dating danny 0.o. Then Amazi girl and Sal will have to fight…yes.

  53. Leonou

    Everyone who’s ever had any hope in Danny, please raise your hand.
    Great. Now punch yoursel in the face ! Repeatedly !

  54. Arturo

    Oh dear, this is going to turn into one of those “accidentally-in-love” things isn’t it?

    1. Keroshino

      Well if the writing of this story decide to turn to shit!…then yes

  55. Jack Finch

    I don’t know. It’s hard to suspend disbelief here. Whatever else there is to be said about him, Danny’s totally in love with Amazi-girl, and they have been intimate. His internal biology is imprinted well past accepting any substitutes. I can just buy him mistaking his feelings for Amber as temptation to stray when it was in fact it was his unconcious screaming “yes yes, I remember…this is the one!”. But this? Every cell in his body would be telling him….that’s not her. Love is blind in other ways, but not this way. Just the opposite in fact.

    1. Lel

      In this case love is blinded by revealing, revealing clothing.

      1. Scott

        Truth. The boy may be in love, but he isn’t dead. Yet.

    2. Rutee

      Biology seriously doesn’t work that way.

      1. Jack Finch

        I’ll admit I was being metaphorical and hyperbolic. Biology per se was probably the wrong word. Still I’ll stand by the idea that the brain certainly works this way. Mate recognition is a real thing (in humans and other mating species) and it’s visceral as hell. I’m just not buying Danny not knowing instantly that this ain’t Amazigirl.

  56. Nym

    Hahaha, you have made the right choice, Sal.

  57. All Else Fails

    Well. I realized that Danny dans things up too much. It all falls on the parents how the child acts, so…

    Danny’s parents danned him up good. And Danny continues to Dan things up. He knows nothing else.

  58. Tandel

    Recovering from surgery was less painful than this.

  59. Rani

    Just wondering, when did it tip over for Danny? Like when did the fanbase start getting mad at him as a matter of principle?

    For me, it was the break-up scene with Dorothy.

    1. Rutee

      I’m more amused than mad. He’s fictional. I might damn Willis, but Danny’s just clueless. It’d take something vile to make me mad.

      Fun to mock though!

    2. Logician

      For me the final straw was the fire alarm. He was having a good time in the comic shop with a girl who’s supposed to be his best friend, when he gets an alert about the alarm going off in the dorm. Using heroic fiction logic, he reasons that fire alarm => heroic rescue scene => Amazigirl in action, and rushes off. When he doesn’t see her, instead of realising he’s been jumping to conclusions, he asks Joe if he missed her, assuming she must have been there.

      That’s when I came up with the idea that he lives in his own fantasy world.

    3. Ourorboros

      Early on. He has been entitled (I thought love [MY LOVE] was enough), entirely lacking in initiative, and fails to try to earn anything.
      Yeah, his dream was his love would be enough, Dorothy would achieve, and she would still sex him up.
      So yeah, I dislike that in people. They decide they get to join in, then somebody else does all the work.

      1. Logician

        You’re right about his sense of entitlement. Not only did he think he could tag along passively, he thought he could do it without bothering to listen to her when she has something important to tell him.

    4. Stranger

      His personality grates me, he’s the kind of guy you see who obsessively clings to whoever he thinks he’s in love with at the moment, because he can only define himself with a romantic partner.

  60. James Rye

    If this goes on and on, I’m starting to think Dan has a chance to land with Sal. But that’s impossible, right? o.o

    1. Rutee

      Yes. And I will laugh forever.

      1. Rutee

        yes, Danny has a chance, rather.

        1. Rani

          Danny has a chance. It’s Sal that I’m worried about; when they hook up and Danny figures out Sal isn’t Amazi-Girl, how will he deal with it?

          Will he be just stupid enough to dump Sal for his pure and chivalric love for AG? Perhaps call Sal an impostor as well?

        2. Logician

          Of course he will. And half the commenters will leap to the defence of his noble loyalty.

    2. Logician

      Sal strikes me as pretty desperate for attention (which makes sense given what we’ve seen of her mother) which could lead to her accepting Danny. How long could she stand his constant hints about dressing up as AG though?

      1. Kladeos

        I honestly don’t buy that. Sal is only desperate for attention from her parents. From everyone else, she doesn’t give a crap. When you’re looking for attention, you behave like Billie. You don’t sneak out early in the morning and sneak back in at night. You don’t avoid hanging out with people and have to be convinced to join in (at the beach). You talk to people. Right now the only people Sal really talks to are Marcie, presumably a friend from before college, Billie, a childhood friend and Walky, her brother. No one new. I guess Jason, but she only approached him because Joyce made her.

        She behaves and dresses the way she does for HERSELF. Not for anyone else.

        1. Logician

          I’m not certain either way. Could be what you say, could be that the only way she’s ever got attention is because she’s hot, so she maximises it.

        2. Kladeos

          From Sal’s official cast page: “Though she avoids most social contact and has few friends, she attracts a sea of admirers. This annoys her.”

          She does not appreciate the attention.

      2. Ashley

        You’re confusing, wanting your parents’ approval with wanting attention from other people.

      3. Ourorboros

        It’s a parental approval thing. That’s why she blew up at Walky.
        Though Mike has called her out for checking items off the cool loner thing.
        If it was general and she’s as hot as Billie says, she’d always and publically have a boyfriend. Or be under a pile of guys.

  61. Laser Jesus

    Danny is an expert at detective work.

    1. Baker

      He can’t even recognize that the reason Amazi-girl said she didn’t have a DS when she so obviously did, was because her alter ego was someone who definitely would. He really is the best.

  62. Black

    I honestly can’t believe Dan’s gotten to this point with Sal. I really thought he’d look at her, start talking to Billie about how that can’t be Amazi-girl, describing some of her traits… only to realize who else he’s describing, smack himself in the head, and excuse himself to go have a talk with Amber.

  63. Johnny Z

    I can’t tell if he’s more stalker or more stupid.

  64. Ashley

    Danny, I’m sure your gut is telling you this is a dumb idea.
    Please, trust your gut.

  65. niblik

    Go Danny Go! The poor guy needs a break…

    1. Keroshino

      A break…to his legs!!!

      Come on Sal!

      1. James

        Death by Snoo Snoo!!

    2. Stranger

      The guy seems to have no connection to the world around him at all, and lives entirerly in his own delusional fantasies.

  66. maycroft

    He know how to make em’ laies cooperate.

  67. fatso

    :0 Sal’s cigarette fell out in the last panel!

  68. Stranger

    God damnit this kid gives me a migraine. SHE DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE SAME SKIN COLOR FOR GODS SAKE!!! Even if you only met your superhero girlfriend at night ,you should still be able to tell that. Also, not the same body type, height or even jawline.

    1. Ourorboros

      Love is blind. But not to a hot ass in low riders.

  69. cdot

    Although its been said many times, many ways, Danny is a bongoass

    1. Ourorboros

      And Merry Christmas to you.

  70. man in black

    Great page

  71. Regalli

    It’s getting there. Come on, Danny, I know you can make this reach critical awkward levels!

  72. chris73

    Danny makes it really hard to support him especially when he starts using air quotes

  73. OldFart

    I am such a sap that I want Amber/Amazi-girl to start messaging him on that thing, and for Sal to point this out, at which time Danny will realize that Sal is not The One, and extricate himself from this situation. The strip would die the day that happens, so I must tearfully accept that Danny exists only to Dan everything up. Dan on, Danny.

  74. Ryugen

    Gosh dannit.
