Personally, while I don’t particularly care for plaid myself (except on skirts/kilts, not that I *dislike* it on other garments, it just doesn’t do it for me), I am a big fan of the idea that motley fashion and pied outfits might be finally making a comeback and am willing to accept plaid as the vehicle by which it gets here.
anon
depending on how soft the materials made of and his top being hooded it almost looks like pjs to me tbh lol, ‘gingham’ is cute on dresses tho i suppose it’s pretty similar
tho at least it’sn ot too bright/flashy, sometimes stripes give me a headache but not as bad when it’s two toned rather than like thin black stripes
He’s about to stumble his way through series of awkward, foot-in-mouth apologies accompanied by insincere regrets for Mike’s death. Of course Danny’s dressed for delivering plaiditudes.
I wouldn’t either. I feel that Danny got screwed, both by trope-y writing and by short-sighted characters. Mike was such an asshole to him, and Mike’s supposed “redemption” before he died is probably my least favorite thing to ever have happened in this comic. I’ve known people who were awful to me and yeah, I was not upset when they passed. I don’t think I should feel guilty about it either. Just because Mike died does not give his friends a pass to give him a pass for his behavior…I know that sounds a bit convoluted, but that’s my take.
Everyone is entitled to their emotions but in grief neglect to respect others. This debate has been had multiple times, Mike was jerk, but he was Ethan’s jerk and Amber’s jerk, and Ethan could and would make excuses and exceptions for him even when he bullied Danny.
Regret
If someone hurts me and my friends consistently during each interaction and does so for years, then I get to express an opinion on that. And if my friends can’t even accept that the asshole they know and love is seen as an asshole by others, then they’re probably just gaslit out the wazoo and I am under no obligation to support the gaslighting works of a dead guy.

Abby Morgan was a bongo.
Shadowsnail

Shade
Okay but if you seek out that person and just start smack talking them knowing they’re upset, then congrats you are an asshole.
Nah, I think you’re valid to feel that. I think this comic tries to handle it as best it can, ’cause we’ve seen that Mike has meant well & a good chunk of them considered him a great friend. Danny, however, really only had bad moments with him & I can’t blame him for thinking how he felt about Mike, but its also why I can’t blame Ethan for feeling how HE does about Mike & getting upset at what Danny said.
For me personally, it helps Mike never did anything truly atrocious (atleast not that I can remember, otherwise the emotion would’ve stuck) & while he was a jerk, he was still shown to have good moments & (badly) give advice that truly was helpful… provided you parsed how he said it.
thejeff
Mike himself said he spend years “poking Amber’s bear” to turn her into a time bomb to use against Blaine. When he heard Blaine rant about “tough love”, he saw himself doing the same thing.
I think the writing around Mike in general is just pretty bad (despite a lot of the rest of the writing on DoA being really rather good). Frankly, it doesn’t add up to me that Ethan, and particularly Amber, liked him. He was generally just terrible to them and their affection just seems entirely unnatural to me.
thejeff
I think of Ethan and Amber as essentially codependent abuse victims. They clung to Mike because of their own flaws, that he deliberately amplified to keep them tied to him.
I think it’s very good writing, just not a real friendship.
Blakey
I get that interpretation, but I don’t see it evidenced in the text – which still makes it bad writing. It reads as a very post-hoc explanation to me.
Thag Simmons
Mike is a cartoon comedy asshole who was good for punchlines but struggled as an actual character with plot significance. That’s probably why he died, he had limited utility and was difficult to write for, which made him expendable.
Meagan
Honestly this is the first boy explanation I’ve heard that makes sense- him being expendable as a character.
Okay, but maybe don’t say it to someone who clearly does care about them. Like I’m pretty comfortable saying I’m glad Ronald Reagan is dead, but I’m not tracking down Nancy Reagan to tell her because that would be a dick move.
I’d argue, largely based on what he said at the birthday party before, that Danny wasn’t bothered so much by anything Mike did to him, but by how he’d treated Ethan (and probably Amber).
Like even if you hate Mike, he was going out of his way to hurt someone who was in a sensitive emotional state. Mike would have been proud of that move from Danny, that’s how wrong it was.
Taffy
You say that like he intended to hurt Ethan. That really doesn’t seem to be the way the story was written.
Wait hold the phone. I legit had to check the Danny and Mike combination tags. What exactly did Mike do to Danny?
Like Mike was an asshole but there’s a clear difference between being an asshole you wouldn’t want to spend time with and “literally wishing death on someone as they are dying in front of you”
Like listing out Mike’s crimes against Danny. What he did is “pretend to be Dorothy’s boyfriend because Walky was struggling to admit that he was Dorothy’s boyfriend” and “admit he slept with Ethan, his long time friend”.
That’s it and once again I am saying Mike was an asshole to Danny but that was not a proportional response.
I think Danny’s complaint was that Mike was often mean to Amber and Ethan, but they weren’t willing to stand up to him.
And while it seems like Mike may have had some genuine feelings for Ethan, seducing him was originally a plan to upset Danny. A plan that was hatched because Ethan asked him not to bully Danny, and Mike decided to obey only the letter of the law.
As teenagers with little experience of death, most of them did not realize how bad Mike’s situation actually was. Ethan intended to tell Mike’s parents that he would recover because he was still young. Danny reacted to the news as though Mike were dropping out of school, thinking mainly of getting a reprieve from a deeply unpleasant person. That’s why his comment is “something he might regret”. Now that Mike is dead it looks incredibly callous.
Yeah, honestly in almost every situation Danny was being just as much of an asshole on the Danny+Mike tags (or they weren’t even in the same room as each other).
He originally got mad at Mike for pretending to be the person Dorothy was banging (it was Walky) because he (Danny) felt like Dorothy “wouldn’t do that to me”
Other than that it’s all just sniping at each other and then complaining at Mike during a party that Amber and Ethan know him well and let him slide on his bullshit (a party where Mike is notably jealous of Ethan having guys-who-aren’t-Mike and pouting about it).
So yeah, I disagree with the people saying Danny did nothing wrong. Feel how you wanna feel about people, but “sometimes he’s a jerk” shouldn’t equate to “it wouldn’t be the worst thing if he died”. Especially not to his childhood bestie who is actively grieving.
It was gross and selfish and thoughtless. Danny fucked up.
Chubseus
My brain kind of agrees with you, but man, on a gut level it’s hard to balance gross and selfish with Mike’s seemingly genuine malevolence. Mike kept an actual notebook of blackmail information to extort people with, and I believe Mike once said he only extorted Blaine into helping his daughter with something only because it would torture the both of them. And I think I believed him.
Hoboturtle
Wait, that was Mike’s origin story, wasnt it? Blaine was threatening to make Amber and Ethan for Mike getting in his way. Mike was literally saying that because he thought it would get Blaine to back off. Literally he is shown to have been a perfectly nice person before that.
Devin
It doesn’t have to be a balance for it to be messed up to say “would that be so bad” about someone not waking up from a coma.
thejeff
“for awhile”
Which doesn’t make it good, but is a big difference from “not waking up”
Shade
Even if it was all one sided with Mike doing everything the person he wronged here isn’t Mike, it’s Ethan. He knew Ethan was upset about his friend and did something that frankly you’d expect more of Mike.
Like he was literally smack talking someone’s loved one while they’re in a fragile emotional state. If it’d be wrong if Mike did it, it’s wrong for Danny to do it too. This goes well beyond basic tact, this straight out callousness directed at someone who supposedly at the time he cared about.
Sirksome
You can say Danny lacked tact yes I’d agree with that. He hurt Ethan in those moments, but the debate is should he regret it? Which he shouldn’t. To me it’s mainly because in that conversation Ethan stated in an admittedly unfair hypothetical that he would let Mike speak ill of Danny if Danny were the one in a coma. So there’s no moral high ground for any of them.
Ethan’s emotions are just as valid as Danny’s in that moment. Grief doesn’t give you some social advantage. His argument that Mike redeemed himself through sacrifice and that knowing Mike and loving him means Mike could treat people like dirt is a selfish one that disregards the emotions of Mike’s victims the same way Danny disregarded Ethan’s grief to dunk on Mike in the first place.
Even now, Ethan implying Danny should or might have said something he regrets forever still puts Mike on this pedestal above his abuse victims. Like, trying telling that guy Mike pimped out to his teacher to get her fired he shouldn’t talk shit about Mike now. Hell even Walky still has some sort of ptsd from Mikes psychological torment. Saying it’s not the right time means it will never be the right time.
This isn’t directed at you are anyone. I just have thoughts on this.
Devin
No I think hurting someone you care about (specifically Danny hurting Ethan here) is something that should be reasonably regretted. And any arguments that came as a result of that completely inappropriate statement do not change that fact.
It’s also absolutely not the case that Ethan saying that is putting Mike on a pedestal above his abuse victims. The entire point of the whole “Don’t speak ill of the dead” thing is with respect to the people who care about them. It’s not Danny’s job, responsibility, or place to say things about Mike to Ethan. He can quite fairly and reasonably say all manner of things to other people, but when it comes to the people who cared about Mike, the only appropriate thing for Danny to say to them regarding Mike is nothing.
And Walky should absolutely be talking to someone about that. Frankly so should Ethan and Amber. But Danny isn’t even remotely in the vicinity of those people. All of those characters need professional help, because Mike absolutely treated them terribly but they all have very complicated and difficult emotions about it. Danny should have absolutely nothing to say about Mike to any of them.
a/snow/mous/e
Danny isn’t remotely in Amber’s vicinity?
Devin
He isn’t remotely in the vicinity of the type of person they should be talking to about these issues.
Unfortunately I don’t recall Danny seeing Mike interacting with Amber or Ethan or even seeing them upset with him so when I read that It came across as kind of empty.
I couldnt help but read it more as jealousy because Mike slept with the guy Danny liked but didn’t want to make moves on.
Chubseus
Unfortunately, I think some of that might have happened off camera. But Danny was friends or more with both Amber and Ethan so it’s fairly reasonable that he knew more about Mike than we saw. I can imagine Amber telling Danny something similar to what she told ghost-Mike, “You saved my life one time, and you kicked my legs out from under me so many others. So many.”
I mean, I think he regrets saying to TO Ethan. Like if it came up while he was hanging out with sal or something I don’t think it’d be remotely as much of an issue. He didn’t do it intentionally to be hurtful, it just sorta slipped out. But it still caused hurt to someone he cared about, who was in deep anxiety over his loved ones health and pre-emptive grief. If he said it a few years after it wouldn’t have been as damaging either. It’d be weird not to regret that a little, even if he fully stands by the sentiment itself.
I understand why people have different opinions on this but to me the timing seems arbitrary. The person grieving will always feel bad regardless. Ethan will always feel bad that Mike died because he loved him. Look at what happened to Ethan post time skip. Even in a scenario where Danny hadn’t spoken up, and they stayed friends I still think this falling out would’ve happened. So why regret it? To me it was pulling the band aid off a relationship that was doomed. Mike living was the only thing that could make it okay to Ethan.
Nymph
“So why regret it?”
Because he hurt someone he cared about at a time in that person’s life when they were already hurting about something momentous and traumatizing.
It’s possible to care about the feelings of others while still honoring your own. You don’t actually have to choose either/or. You can say something, mean it, and still care that it caused pain.
The question is, will it go horribly wrong at the party, or will the party just set up some event in the future where the horrible wrongness will do its going?
Something was going to go horribly wrong at this party the moment Dina returned with the jug of hooch and they started planning the party. It was just a matter of who, when, and how badly.
