  1. Wonder Wig

    Idk why, but Ethan’s shirt reminds me of Ben 10.

    1. Wack'd

      I think I know what Ethan’s shirt is SUPPOSED to be, but I’ll be damned if I can’t see it without immediately thinking he’s got the world’s smallest poncho on.

      1. girly2k

        I think it meh actually be a poncho. Second and last panel have some line issues if’s not. Might actually be a barber’s cape, ‘sidering the strip theme.

    2. MrSmiley

      Its the collar. Ben 10’s shirt’s neckline has a black lining too.

      1. Aizat

        All it’s missing is the black vertical line in the middle.

    3. Somebody

      He switched to a black shirt and green jacket after the first series

      1. begbert2

        Funny, I don’t *recall* there being a second series.

        (fingersinearsIcan’thearyouIcan’thearyouIcan’thearyou)

        1. Deimir

          So then what does that make Ben 10: Omniverse? Series 1.5?

          Also, Alien Force/Ultimate Alien weren’t that bad.

        2. SSJ2Gotenks

          Omniverse is series “Fuck this shit, we’re beating a dead horse.”
          Alien Force was acceptable. Ultimate Alien? Pushing it.
          Ominiverse: fricking lego monster, shittier animation, and …ugh
          it hurts to think about it.

        3. madock345

          I actually like Alien Force better than the original series. Ultimate Alien was stupid. I never even watched omniverse, I switched it off the minute I saw the animation.

        4. Witch [Soul] of Heart

          I like the first okay, the second best, and got so disgusted by Ultimate Alien I never watched more than two episodes.

          …Am I really debating about this online with people who are probably older than me? Tsk tsk oh well.

        5. Somebody

          I like the block alien.

      2. Somebody

        Honestly, Ben and Gwen were annoying in the first series. They got a maturity upgrade afterward, though Gwen matured further than Ben.

        The problem with Ultimate Alien, is Ben didn’t utilize the new forms as well as he could have. Terraspin is immune to magic, but he NEVER used it against a magic opponent, i.e. Atwecha (spelling?). The ending was also rushed.

        Omniverse isn’t that bad, the art just takes getting used to. I still hate granpa’s eyes and the fact that Gwen dresses like a kid again. And it’s obvious that Ben regressed in maturity.

        1. Dave

          Ugh…I couldn’t even STAND the first damn Ben10 show. Anybody wanna guess how I felt for the second, third, fourth and inevitable etcs!?!?!

          Seriously CN, LET THIS SHOW DIE ALREADY!!

        2. KaelemGaen

          Oh! Good I’m not the only who noticed the Maturity reversion. Though I’d go farther and say it happened in every series after the First one. Though Alien Force and Ultimate Alien got him back on track faster. Omniverse best fix that soon. I mean they already flash back to when he was 10, don’t need to make him act 10 again even though he’s 16 (or is he 17?)

    4. Drunken Nordmann

      He’s reminding me more of Ulm from Flagland:
      http://flagland.org/guest-art/ivir%20baggins-ulmersgonnaulm.jpg

      1. Davidus Rex

        He’s Ferrara, not Ulm. Isn’t it obvious?

    5. Tom T.

      I mentioned in the other strip that the shirt makes me think of a white ST-TNG uniform.

      1. Andrusi

        Command division wears red, engineering division wears gold, comedy division wears white, science division wears blue.

    6. Onion

      Mike’s entire look deeply reminds me of a much more proportional version of Johnny Bravo.

  2. David Herbert

    His “bongo, I got laid last night” strut could use some work. But what could be added?

    1. AgentKeen

      Walking cane, I’m thinking a la Billy Dee Williams when he had a cameo on Scrubs

      1. Dicrel Seijin

        And a pimp hat, the kind with a leopard fur hat band and a feather.

      2. Andiemus

        A la billy dee Williams wherever he goes.

      3. AckAckAck

        Add some spinnings and “You da man!” finger pointing.

    2. Yotomoe

      A little too much “going to the corner general store to get some milk” in it.

      1. Wonder Wig

        A little too much, “Put on your Sunday clothes, there’s lots of world out there.”

        1. Neospector

          Is it a bad thing that I thought of Wall-E before I thought of Hello Dolly when you said that?

    3. MrSmiley

      I’m not sure if blue jays would help or hinder.

    4. Mr. Random

      His chest must be puffed out and he must comb his frock in a detailed message to other males that he has successfully mated. Normally, this would induce stronger breeding urges, however young Daniel’s fine frock is dwarfed by both the size and sheer craft displayed by his neighboring friend, Joe-sepher.

      1. David

        I hope he didn’t *successfully* mate!

        1. AgentKeen

          Amazi-Baby

        2. AckAckAck

          Amazi-Preggo

        3. someguywithakatana

          … Wouldn’t you know?

        4. Izzy

          How could he possibly?

        5. Random832

          Are you asking how the author of the webcomic could possibly know whether something has happened to one of the characters of that webcomic?

          I mean, he could have not decided yet, but that’s not really the same thing, and “I hope” still doesn’t seem to fit.

        6. clodia

          Well, if we’re going with the conceit that the story writes itself, and he’s a little over two months out on buffer, given the average rate of story per month, that’d only be about a day or two for now. Amazi-girl might still be able to take Plan B!

      2. JustcallmeSoul

        ” ah now this is a rare treat, the juvenile Daniel struts through his natural environment, assured that he has properly marked his claim on his chosen female. see how he puffs out his chest and draws his head back to a dominant angle. ah such majesty. oh but what’s this? is he being stalked by the rare brickhead douchebag? lets hope he doesn’t spoil our juvenile Daniels afterglow. OH, i think he spotted me…”

    5. Aizat

      I would’ve done either the Ric Flair strut or dance the entire day.

      1. AckAckAck

        Add a little bit singing in it!

      2. Lukkai

        WOOOO!!

    6. Mitch

      I find a saucy wink whilst strutting away does wonders.

      1. AckAckAck

        It can be interpreted very differently though.

    7. Bekah

      A forward aerial half-turn every alternate step might be a good start.

    8. David Burnward

      Coulda busted into song “I JUST HAD SEEEEX AND IT FELT SO GOOD!”

      1. Robin

        “I still don’t know who she really is” “DOESN’T MATTER, HAD SEX”

        1. Andiemus

          “She has a rogues gallery.” “Doesn’t matter had sex.”

      2. Roborat

        And I just remembered Andy Samberg’s song, had forgotten about that one.

    9. Logician

      I’m in favour of jump-and-heel-click every third step.

      1. Roborat

        I think that has been patented by the Ministry of Silly Walks.

  3. Aras Pabedinskas

    “Good morning! Good Morning! It’s great to stay up late… If you know what I mean…”

  4. vsophi

    ETHAN IS SO CUTE
    … *cough*
    Anyway, I ship it.

    1. MrSmiley

      I would too. I think its going to remain an unrequited love though.

      1. vsophi

        Part of the fun (and pain) of shipping things is the knowledge that there’s pretty much no way in hell it’ll become canon! So fanart will have to suffice (once I get around to it…).

        1. Noel Schornhorst

          I’d love to see Ethan X Danny fanart. Danny’s the cutest DoA guy, IMO.

  5. Sock

    Mike can smell pain coming.

    1. that bard

      The hover-text makes a better comeback then I would have thought up.

      “Watch it, mike, your hair isn’t even three dimensional”

  6. Nono

    Ethan in boxers! Hooray!

    Now get him out of the shirt.

    1. Nono

      Or they could be shorts actually. But do guys in Willis’ comics even wear shorts, outside of the beach/bed?

      1. Yotomoe

        Those’d be some tacky ass shorts.

        1. Aizat

          Hey, at least it’s comfortable and easy to wear.

        2. J-Dawg

          +1 Internet for the Youngster, here.

        3. Totz the Plaid

          At least they’re not assy tack shorts.

        4. Aizat

          At least they’re not shorty ass tacks.

        5. AgentKeen

          Better than longy ass tacks, ouch

        6. Andiemus

          Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

        7. ProjectXa3

          This is why I read these comments.

        8. Andiemus

          To learn of new instruments of debauchery?

  7. TJ

    I always thought it looked more like a headcrab, myself.

    I guess people will just see what the will.

  8. Shade

    As opposed to gold brick?

    1. Nightmarewarden

      I always called it the “Johnny Bravo Effect”.

    2. Reepicheep-chan

      Well Mike is winning the hottest dude poll so…

    3. Reepicheep-chan

      But seriously though I would love to see Ethan with a new haircut.

  9. Psycho

    DANNY! WELL DONE!

  10. John

    “Hey, big guy”? Danny, I realize that you’re, uh, Danny, but this is not how we tell the gay dude, “Sorry, but I’m not interested. Too busy getting on the scoreboard with your ex-girlfriend in a superhero costume.”

    1. Yotomoe

      Well, to be honest, Danny only knows…1/3 if any of this information.

    2. Mr. Random

      ??? Ethan dated Ruth ???

    3. Sir Robin

      Just how many people DID Danny have sex with last night?

      1. Yotomoe

        All of them.

        1. Sir Robin

          No wonder we saw them in line getting shots …

        2. Aizat

          So, they’re all getting in line for Space Mountain?

        3. Andiemus

          No no no. The only acceptable post coitus roller coaster is The Matterhorn.

    4. Nicholas

      NOW this is a foreshadowing

  11. Sir Robin

    Someone has to post it

    http://youtu.be/lQlIhraqL7o

    1. Aras Pabedinskas

      you really didn’t have too.

      1. Sir Robin

        If I didn’t, someone else would have

        1. Aizat

          I would’ve gone with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFfCKy0nKr0

        2. Aras Pabedinskas

          See, now we have some class in these comments.

        3. Nerdman

          It’s funny that you expect class on the Internet.

          …I’m suddenly imagining an Englishman in a dapper suit and tie playing WoW while sipping tea.

        4. Bekah

          I have seen this with my eyes. There wasn’t much class to be had, unless calling people “cocking c*nts” is considered classy these days. There were other curses to be had, but that one was uttered most often. It was like a his punctuation.

        5. Andiemus

          Well, what do you call people with whom you disagree over the Internet? Hmmmm?

        6. Aizat

          A yellow bellied scum of the Earth? Though I only use that when I’m responding to rude morons.

        7. davidbreslin101

          I go with “You are a frightful bounder and an impudent cad. For shame, Sir, for shame!”

        8. Roborat

          We have a Scotsman in our SWOTOR Guild. I am sure half the people who go on raids with him do it to hear his swearing. He operates on a whole other level than us mere mortals.

        9. Brando

          Win.

        10. cookie1995

          As A queen fan I approve of this

        11. Lukkai

          I thought of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKc1DZLrOPM

          Not sure for which character it goes best though.

  12. ridtom

    Mike, how do you even keep your hair like that?

    1. HLY

      to antagnize gravity as much as possible

      1. Aizat

        Not as much as Charlie’s hair.

  13. Yotomoe

    Nice one, Mike. Good to see that Johnny Bravo/Adam Lyonn thing is working out with your hair.

    1. Aizat

      Dude, the Johnny Bravo hair thing is awesome. It’s on my Top 10 Awesome Hair Style next to Ric Flair’s hairstyle back in the 80’s. Number one being the Ryoma Nagare’s hair from Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo.

      1. Aras Pabedinskas

        All hair bows in humility when faced to Ryu’s pompadoeur from Shaman King. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v97/spacepiratecatdude/Ryu10.jpg
        I hope this works. Never posted image here.

        1. Aizat

          That is number 5. Himekawa’s pompadour is number 4.

        2. Aras Pabedinskas

          HA HA. No. Even at half power, Ryu still beats that guy. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m39okeAH2L1ruc976o1_400.jpg

        3. Aizat

          Dude, the guy weaponize his pompadour. Here, http://media.animevice.com/uploads/1/18405/520678-himekawa_pomadour_cannon.png

        4. Aras Pabedinskas

          Ok, I don’t think either of us is going to back down on our choices, so let’s both agree that Mike would insult us both for caring so much about this… before saying that he could use his hair to see our moms last night for a nickel between the two of them.

          I wouldn’t like that.

        5. Aizat

          Agreed.

        6. Aizat

          You know, you’re the only guy on the Internet that agrees to disagree.

        7. Andiemus

          HERESY! you are to fight to the death over this!

        8. Lukkai

          Nabeshin. ‘Nuff said.

        9. Otera

          hahaha! rare that I find anyone else who like Beelzebub

  14. Zach

    Look at the pance! Danny has a boner. First time one’s been shown on screen in any universe.

    1. David

      That’s just how I normally draw the zipper-flies of pants, dude!

      1. Nerdman

        This gives us many questions while also creating many questions.

        1. Nerdman

          …What the hell was I trying to say in the first place?!

        2. Zababcd

          ‘This response raises more questions than it answers’?

        3. begbert2

          It’s sure raising someth-okay, I just noticed your gravatar, and I seem to have lost my train of thought.

        4. Andiemus

          What? It’s just Ethan with an afrOh my god!

        5. Lukkai

          AFRO! NOOOOO!

  15. NF

    My god, look at Danny’s faaace…

    1. Aizat

      That is the face of boy who just became a man…….or just finish both Demon Souls and Dark Souls without dying once.

      1. Aras Pabedinskas

        The man who accomplishes beating that game would achieve Nirvana*. Sex would mean nothing in the face of that.

        *Note: never actually played these games myself.

        1. Aizat

          To describe those two games: You’re going to die. A lot.

        2. Totz the Plaid

          You gotta add I Wanna Be the Guy to that list to match Danny’s faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace in this strip.

        3. Aizat

          Why don’t we just put every single notoriously hard games to the list?

        4. Regalli

          Danny beat Battletoads last night.

          On his first try.

          Without losing ONCE.

        5. Aizat

          Danny won The Game.

        6. Andiemus

          Danny beat Dwarf Fortress.

        7. Mal

          Danny beat the internet. The end boss was hard.

        8. PrincessCarlos

          Danny 100%ed Just Cause 2 in a single afternoon.

        9. vsophi

          Danny beat Syobon Action without a negative number of lives?

        10. Roborat

          Danny didn’t get lost in a maze of long winding tunnels, all alike, and didn’t get eaten by a Grue?

        11. John

          Danny ascended a pacifist healer.

  16. 31stwalker

    Looks like young Daniel here just had good snu-snu

  17. showler

    So….Ethan gets kicked out of Shortpacked! and now Willis is planning a small character redesign for the DoA variant?

    1. vsophi

      I hope not. >.> <.<

      1. showler

        Told ya so.

  18. Somebody

    Did they use her costume as a condom or just make out?

    1. John

      I’m pretty sure a girl crazy-prepared enough that she can whip out the right size wrench (not even an adjustable!) for a street sign on a moment’s notice can come up with an Amazi-condom if necessary.

      1. Random832

        I think he’s assuming she had to be wearing the whole costume and not just the mask to preserve her secret identity.

    2. Logician

      I firmly believe that one of the pouches in her utility belt contains yellow & blue Amazi-condoms, with a mask pattern round the tip. I’m not sure whether they have an attached cape as part of the latex, or whether this is a detachable “novelty” feature.

      1. Roborat

        Sure hope they remember to detach the cape before penetration.

        1. AckAckAck

          “NO CAPE!”

  19. Kernanator

    My beautiful HAAAAAAAAAAAIRRRRRRR~

    1. Wack'd

      Shining, gleaming,
      Streaming, flaxen, waxen

      1. Aizat

        Give me down to there hair,
        shoulder length or longer,
        Here baby, there momma,
        Ev’rywhere, daddy, daddy

  20. Felix Featherstone

    Mike’s just grumpy cause he’s winning the sexy man poll!

    1. Aizat

      Mike is always grumpy.

      1. GoogerGeiger

        HEY I’M GRUMP!

        1. Aizat

          I’M NOT SO GRUMP!

        2. TPman

          AND WE”RE THE DOA GRUMPS!

        3. Bettyspaghetti42

          But not that guy, for he is a lump!

  21. Greg

    Man, if somebody doesn’t cosplay as Ethan while wearing a spray-painted black watermelon on their head I am going to be very disappointed.

  22. Jackson

    Dammit Willis how am I supposed to get into an Internet fight over this?

    1. Zababcd

      (Just because this post is needlessly aggressive, I should mention at the start, in case of moderation, that one should check the context first).
      Option a)
      Why is it so hard to write ‘damn it’ as two words? ‘Dammit’ is only useful for indicating the way in which it’s spoken, which is irrelevant unless you’re writing a work of fiction. There’s no excuse for shortening it in an online context, unless you’re writing online fiction.
      Option b)
      ‘Internet’? Since when does the internet get a capital letter, particularly when it’s used as an adjective?
      Option c)
      Why do you need to get into an internet fight at all? Shouldn’t we all be trying to create a little more peace in the world?
      Option d)
      YO DONT NEED A ReASON TO GET INTO AN iNTERNET FIgHT!!!!1! U JUST NEED SOMEOnE TO BE REALLY IRRITATING AND TYPE IN ALL CAPS!!!! PREFERABLY WITH INTENTOINAL ERRORS!!!1!

      1. vsophi

        this is off topic but I love your gravatar, nice job

      2. electronerd

        Internet has always been a proper noun

  23. Uniqueantique

    His shirt design reminds me of Will’s shirt from Picard’s Star Trek, for some odd reason. Yeah, the shorts are kinda tacky as has been mentioned.
    Only Mike could be a tonsure critic with that hair do of his. But then, his works for him. Draw blood if you touch, just like him.
    Glad to see Danny’s happy, can’t miss that ‘trucking down the road’ strut. Wonder how she’s feeling this morning.

    1. Aydr

      I think the “shorts” are boxers. I hope. Or he has awful taste.

      1. Aizat

        Well, that answers the boxers or briefs question.

  24. Notebooked

    Danny’s so happy he’s crabwalking.

  25. Blurp

    The Jon Arbuckle strut of unfounded confidence.

    1. Andiemus

      You ever slept with a superhero? It’s quite an experience, let me tell you.

      1. Roborat

        Just pray she doesn’t have superstrength, otherwise being inside her when she achieves orgasm could be fatal.

        1. Andiemus

          Only if you’re less manly than Danny. Wait..

  26. TinHeart

    Lol, Danny looks just a tad happy. But I can’t help but wonder exactly how much drama an eventual secret identity reveal is going to bring. Take your own advice to Ethan, Amber! Take it!

    In other news, I… don’t get the progression of thoughts in this strip. OK, Ethan is awkward and introduces himself as ‘guy who liked your hair’. Danny says nothing hair related. Ethan becomes self-conscious about his hair? Was he honestly expecting a hair based compliment there?*perplexed*

    1. Aizat

      Or he’s just trying to have a conversation?

      1. TinHeart

        Well, yes, I’m not questioning that at all. My question is why is he suddenly self-conscious about his hair? (Which is what panel #4 is portraying, I assume and which then leads to Mike’s always timely comment about his hairstyle)?

        If reason for self-consciousness is not something that was said, and it wasn’t something that failed to be said, then what is it?

        1. vsophi

          Him making the comment, then running a hand through his own hair probably led to him rethinking his look or something along those lines. It seemed like a pretty natural progression to me.

        2. Stara

          Or he was imagining running his hands through that luxurious mop of brown. 😉

        3. begbert2

          Actually he was running his hand through his hair and it got stuck, and then the watermelon started digesting it. If this happened to you you’d look consternated too.

    2. Otera

      I think that Ethan was fishing for grooming tips. girls do that, why not gay guys? He’s thinking he wants to change his look and is looking for options.

      1. Aras Pabedinskas

        Why can’t hetero guys do this, by the way?

        1. Aizat

          Why? Guys are go out with whatever hairstyle they woke up with. They don’t give a damn about grooming……..much.

        2. vsophi

          Um… No. This is patently wrong.

        3. timemonkey

          Not entirely. It does apply to some, just not all.

        4. Lukkai

          Truth be told, I don’t spend more than five minutes on my hair each morning, even shoulder long as it is. Never go out with what I woke up with either though.

  27. Aizat

    Wait, PM’s not here today?

    1. ProjectXa3

      Hey, yeah that’s kinda weird.

      1. Andiemus

        I’m not sure which is weirder, Plaz not showing up or Plaz not having anything to say.

  28. longtimereaderfirsttimewriter

    A comic about hair. Nice.

  29. Jesse

    …Says the guy with the end of a broom on his head.

    1. Aizat

      Guile?

      1. ArkhamTexan

        We’d be hearing Guile’s theme if it were him. Hell, DURING the Amazi-Girl sex too.

        1. timemonkey

          You mean you don’t hear it constantly in the back of your mind?

        2. AckAckAck

          Whoops, sorry about that….

          *turn off the boombox*

        3. ArkhamTexan

          Damn Martians!

  30. Otera

    Yay! Mike! we definitely don’t see enough Mike anymore. He needs more reasons to show up.

  31. Shobo

    Mike, you have the Atlanta Falcons logo as a haircut.

  32. Kamino Neko

    I can’t help but imagine Danny’s singing ‘I’m Not Wearing Underwear Today’.

    (Possibly because he forgot to bring it with him after getting Amazi-Nookie.)

    1. Bettyspaghetti42

      This is now the sub-section for “Things Danny Would Be Singing After Making Out And/Or Had Sex With Amazi-Girl”.

      “Pocket Full of Sunshine” WHOAAAAA-OWHOOO-OOO

  33. ArkhamTexan

    Appropriate considering the amount of spines both Ross and Danny have.

    1. Aizat

      You know, you will never hear that song the same way again after viewing A Clockwork Orange.

      1. ArkhamTexan

        I’ll, uh… keep from watching that movie then. Because now it’d ruin Friends AND Danny sex for me. I don’t want either ruined for me.

        1. Mal

          No, you should see Clockwork Orange. It’s a good movie. A little disturbing, sure, but really good.

        2. Lukkai

          “Little”

  34. Ashley

    I love you, Mike.

  35. bewareofkow

    Has anyone played Bioshock Infinite and noticed how some key portions of the plot mirror elements of Jason’s backstory in It’s Walky? I’m pretty sure the alley scene with the portal (near the end) was lifted directly out of Willis’ work. Willis, you’re mainstream!

    1. JustcallmeSoul

      which scene, and what reference specifically? i fail to see the similarities.

  36. JustcallmeSoul

    SO willis, ive wondered for a while, what are your thoughts on the community’s tendancy to make ‘micro-memes’ with notable quotes and one liner’s from the strip?

    in the FAAAACE, with his PENIS, for NICKLE!

    etc.

  37. AckAckAck

    Hey guys hey guys
    Listen to my story!
    Guess what happened last night?
    Guess guess what happened last night?

    I just done the tango!
    The glorious tango! the legendary tango!
    With the most beautiful lady!
    I worship and adore!

    (Chorus)
    Horizontal tango!
    Horizontal tango!
    The most glorious tango of all!
    Because it takes two to Tango!
    (x2)

    The night was ended
    Gloriously I say
    Not a premature you-know-what
    With the best laaaaaaady!

    (Back to chorus)

    1. JustcallmeSoul

      you said “hey hey guys, listen to my story…” and the first thing i thought was “all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down…”

      1. Aizat

        I thought it was that song about Krabby Patty with Jellyfish Jelly.

  38. Ryubbert Narraetsor

    So, is the full title of this strip “Hair 2: Dye Hairder”…?

  39. james

    -cough-.
    Im paying attention yknow.

  40. Orion Fury

    I just finished an archive binge. Assuming the only time skip was when Walky got his Pajama Jeans, that would place today being the third Wednesday of the school year. But since some people were getting flu shots, I’m thinking that may be wrong.

  41. Greg

    Did Danny use the signed condom he got from Roz?

  42. Boom

    And now I suddenly ship Mike/Ethan in the DoA universe for no explicable reason.

  43. Raoullefere

    Was Melonhead trying to hit on Danny?
