    Oh, hi Danny.

    1. etybolik

      Oh hi Mark.

      1. Pantheon the Mantheon

        [Emotionless monotone] “I did not hit her, i did not.”

        1. An Average Loser

          “You’re tearing me apart, LISA!”

    “Law of Averages–you’re a math dude, aren’t you?”

    1. Camachri

      Joe strikes me as a statistician: very familiar with belle curves.

      1. Swerve

        He definitely grades those curves up close!

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        He also likes to play with figures. 😀

        1. Yotomoe

          He makes sure there’s a lot of attention on his poll, that’s for sure.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          He also loves to check out ladies’ pie-charts.

        3. Jen Aside

          To women, Joe’s all like “I need a little help with my Calculus, can you integrate my natural log?”

        4. Gigafreak

          Joe is definitely every girl’s integral, as he will be the area under her curves.

    2. Roborat

      Well, his standard is pretty deviated.

  3. Doctor_Who

    Danny’s a seven? Joe’s clearly talking about IQ, right?

    1. AgentKeen

      He must know something we don’t.

    2. Camachri

      This is the 10/10 system where 10 is “fantastic”, 9 is “pretty good”, 8 is “alright” and anything less is “don’t bother”

      1. Doctor_Who

        Ah, so the same scale most video game review sites use. Gotcha.

        1. a4lbi

          eight point eight *ugly snickering*

        2. gwalla

          Video game reviewers are the only people who can’t count under eight.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        That’s truer than you know.

      3. Kai

        I was always wondering why this system provides that much distinction for “don’t bother” (that’ll be 1-7), but only 3 steps (8-10) for the range that matters?

        Who friggin’ cares if a 1 or a 6 is approaching you? The outcome will be the same – but if your friend met a “better” 8 than yourself, I guess he’d like to point that out. 😛

        1. Gigafreak

          Suddenly, rating things out of five stars makes more sense.

      4. Plasma Mongoose

        Looks ranked from 1-10:
        1 – A face only Cthulhu could stomach.
        2 – Super Mega Fugly.
        3 – Butt Ugly.
        4 – Homely.
        5 – Plain Looking.
        6 – Average
        7 – Good Looking.
        8 – Hot
        9 – Gorgeous
        10 – Whomever you are madly in love with.

    3. sylvester crow

      Frankly, im just surprosed joe knows what symbiosis is.

      1. sylvester crow

        Damn it! The one time auto correct doesnt kick in

        1. Swerve

          Whoever invented autocorrect must be evil. I think it is a universal axiom. On Cybertron, the Bot who developed the program used by most phones (including mine) joined the ‘Cons on Declaration Day. It took the entire squad of Wreckers to take him down.

        2. tinfoil theory

          On this planet, the first autocorrect was written by Warren Teitelman, He called it dwim, the intended meaning being Do What I Mean. Everyone else at Xerox called it dwim, short for Damn Warren’s Infernal Machine.

        3. nekobawt

          hey, at least it rhymed a lot

      2. xKiv

        Now all prose is below you.

    4. begbert2

      Danny’s had Dorothy, Amber, and almost had Billie under his belt. If he’s not a seven, what does that make the rest of us?

      1. gwalla

        And it’s been, what, a week since school started?

  4. Yotomoe

    Actually….Yeah…I’d definitely Say Dan is a 7.

    1. An Average Loser

      That’s pretty generous. . .

      1. Yotomoe

        Well he’s not ugly. He’s Not particurally good at anything but he’s also at least a nice dude. He’s not particurally sexy but he’s not hidious.
        Dude is a solid C-

        1. Barf Ninjason

          C- would be like a 4, right?
          10 A+
          9 A
          8 B+
          7 B
          6 C+
          5 C
          4 C-
          3 D+
          2 D
          1 D-
          0 F (off the negative end of the sexiness chart; reserved for gelationous cubes or somethin’)

          I mean, I get that if you’re doing it grade point style, 70% is a C-, but that leads to considering even a “5” attractiveness person an F.

          And that’s just rude.

        2. Khrene Cleaver

          Hey man, don’t knock getting lewd with a cube until you tried it!

        3. ninja_jesus

          Or anything gelatinous, for that matter.

        4. TFC

          Aren’t gelatinous cubes acid? Like sparating-meat-from-bones acid?

        5. xKiv

          Might be someone’s kink.

        6. Sam

          This scale is likely closer to what Yotomoe means:

          10 = S (perfectly perfect with no flaws at all), A+, A
          9 = A-, B+
          8 = B, B-, C+
          7 = C, C-
          6 = D+
          5 = D, D-
          4 = F+
          3 = F
          2 = F-
          1 = Z
          0 = Z-

          F+ and F- aren’t real grades but represent that they are slightly better/worse than F but not as good as D- or as worse as Z.

          Z and Z- aren’t real grades but Z represents that they are so bad, they barely qualify for a letter at all. Z- represents that the fact they have a letter at all is almost offensive because they are that bad a person.

          With this scale, 5 is the middle ground where the quantity of negative and positive traits are essentially equal so they are pretty ‘meh’. All that are below 5 have more negative than positive traits, all that are above 5 have more positive than negative traits.

          Yotomoe, like Joe, is taking into account personality traits that are attractive as well as appearance. I personally feel a 7 is slightly generous but a fair evaluation for now as he has been showing more positive than negative traits recently in personality and behaviour which when added to his at least ‘okay’ appearance, he goes up to a 7 – not the best 7, but a 7.

          And for fun, this is what I would rate a few characters and why:

          Jacob = 10 – Kind, handsome, considerate of others. He laughs about some of things Joyce does and says when Sarah speaks about them but everyone does that with funny things others do. Doesn’t really have any strong flaws yet so perfect example of a 10.

          Faz = 3 or 4 – Creepy but there are worse characters, he is at least polite about his creepiness.

          Mary = 0 – Hellspawn that has convinced itself that it is human. And that all humans are despicable.

    2. newllend

      Not that buff at all but has good genuine looks with a little bit of boyish charm, Smart ,Funny, Really nice,genures and a good personality I say its fair.

  5. Wonder Wig

    … Joe might be better at math than I.

  6. Rybridge

    Leslie needs to have a chat with Joe about sexual objectification.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      But Joe’s already an expert in sexual objectification, what can she teach him that he doesn’t already know? 😛

      1. Rybridge

        Well played Plasma Mongoose….well played…

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          ^_^ I have my moments.

    2. Yotomoe

      I have no problem with it as long as everyone objectifies everyone.

      1. Gigafreak

        No objections to equal-opportunity objectification, then?

  7. Camachri

    Poor Danny. His exes are ganging up on him.

    1. Rybridge

      This could also be bad for Joyce.

    2. nothri

      Are we counting Joe as one of his exes? Cause while Amber has kinda avoided contact so far, she hasn’t made mention of a desire to break up and in fact I would assume the opposite now that she’s kinda sorta in a better place.

  8. GoogerGeiger

    Danny? 7?

    lel

  9. Plasma Mongoose

    Joe thinks himself a 10? Inflated ego much?

    1. An Average Loser

      I thought that was his shtick. . .

      1. LWS

        Is Joe talking about inches or centimeters?

    2. Rybridge

      Among other things…I will see myself out.

    3. thomas0comer

      Obviously Danny is the 10 and Joe is the 7.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        What does that make Ethan then?

        1. nekobawt

          an 11

        2. Swerve

          Based on how Joe objectifies rates men and women, Ethan would be an 8; he’s more physically attractive than Danny, but he obsessed over toys, which knocks him down from a 9. Personally, given Joe’s ego, I doubt he’d rate anyone other than himself a 10.

        3. timemonkey

          A whiny self-hating dick?

    4. Yotomoe

      Joe is an 8…9 TOPS.

      1. Ancestral Hamster

        Maybe based on looks and self-confidence, but I’m deductingmuchopoints for his just being a major prick.

        1. begbert2

          But his major prick is instrumental in his strategy!

        2. Pantheon the Mantheon

          You seem to forget that the rating system really only applies to looks and how they carry them. A 10 could be an awful person amd still be a 10

        3. timemonkey

          But he’s only a prick to Danny. Who should know better and isn’t particularily sympathetic in those situations.

  10. Yotomoe

    I love how he’s not denying that she’s Danny’s Girlfriend. Most guys’d just be like “Bullshit”. Joe’s more like “Well your girlfriend is hot and I want to bang her. (Which is still not something you should say about your friend’s girlfriend)

    1. Doctor_Who

      Last time Danny had a girlfriend, Joe wanted to put her on his list like a day later.

    2. Rybridge

      Keep in mind those were probably Joe’s actual words at some point in time…or the title of his autobiography.

    3. Carriethedragon

      I gotta say, I’m a little surprised by this. Joe refrained from putting Dorothy on the list until after she broke up with Danny. I almost get the feeling he didn’t care enough to actually listen to what Danny just said.

      1. tinfoil theory

        Joe apparently still doesn’t believe that Dan has a chance with the one girl in CS.

    4. newllend

      Joe:”Dude this chick look so hot I bet she’s a freak in bed.”

      Danny: ” Dude that’s my girlfriend !”

      Joe:”I mean just look at that perfect hour glass figure and that ass…wait you say something? “

    5. AgentKeen

      I just read it as Joe ignoring him and continuing the conversation as if Danny didn’t say anything ’cause Joe seems to pretty much not care what Danny has to say anymore.

    6. nothri

      I don’t think he was even paying attention to anything Danny said. You know, like pretty much always when Danny wants to talk about anything serious with him.

    7. Swerve

      Joe is a raging egomaniac; he wasn’t listening to Danny, until the last panel, so he could deliver the punchline.

    8. Jen Aside

      “If that were a woman, I’d marry it.”
      “And I’d jeopardize our friendship by nailing your hot wife.”

  11. Raibean

    The most important information is that Joe thinks Danny is a 7.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      If Danny had a sexier body, Joe would easily rate him an 8. 😀

      1. Yotomoe

        That mean Danny is 2 below Roz, but 3 above Joyce.

        1. newllend

          Maybe if he stopped wearing stripes.

    2. timemonkey

      They’re gonna bang so hard.

  12. Plasma Mongoose

    First panel newspaper headline: “Interview with a V…” Vampire?

    1. HoshiHikara

      I think it’s “Vigilante”

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Ah! Now that makes sense, I feel kinda foolish for not thinking of that myself.

        1. nothri

          Nope. Too late. I’m totally gonna assume one of our cast members is secretly a vampire now. Let the speculation commence!

        2. John

          Obviously it’s Carla. Thus the concern with sunrise here. All the others there we’ve seen outside during the day, but not Carla.

          This is also why she classes drawing wood on her door as a hate crime. It’s clearly a threat to stake her.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          That suggest to me that Sal and the gang are like The Lost Girls.

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsv_NQFbQzo

        4. nothri

          That’s some good theorizing John, but let’s not make the mistake of presuming every vampire is hurt by sunlight. According to my Van Richten’s Guide some forms of undead are hurt by other light sources like the moon or even the absence of light! Also, a vampire over a thousand years old will become immune to sunlight entirely.

          And if you understood that, congratulations. You are a huge, huge, huge nerd. And I mean that in the best ways possible.

        5. begbert2

          I don’t know about many of your details, but it should at least be common knowledge that In Bram Stoker’s book Dracula was weakened but not injured by daylight. I see that as less being nerdworthy knowledge and more as being part of a basic education.

    2. Doctor_Who

      Why did Dorothy choose to take her picture with the camera tilted 30 degrees?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        It’s known as the Dutch Angle.

        http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DutchAngle

        1. Doctor_Who

          Yeah, but why? This isn’t a comic. It’s a newspaper…inside a comic.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Newspapers are a dying breed, they need to adapt and arty photos are one way of delaying the inevitable.

        3. Rybridge

          Plus, Dorothy is a comic nerd, so it makes sense.

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          I forgot about that detail.

    3. AgentKeen

      Daisy requested that particular angle.

      …For editorial reasons, of course.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        She would have chosen a different angle if chest windows were involved.

        1. tinfoil theory

          Powergirl is the only interesting superhero character in the entire DC universe.

    4. Yotomoe

      You thought it was Amazi-girl, but it was in fact ME, DIO.

      (no, I won’t ever stop making this joke.)

      1. Evil Midnight Lurker

        I’m just happy that people know the joke nowadays. Why back in my day… (trails off into incomprehensible ranting that seems to combine JJBA and Star Blazers)… so then I tied an onion to my belt, as was the style at the time…

    5. Deanatay

      Actually, I guessed it was ‘Interview With A View’. ‘Vigilante’ does make more sense, but as it was a one-line headline, it doesn’t look like there would be enough room for the word ‘Vigilante’.

  13. Boomwolf97

    gonna be honest, I forgot that danny was even a friggin thing.

    1. nekobawt

      bet willis and a large portion of the commentariat wish they had that ability

      1. begbert2

        I’m curious why you think Willis dislikes Danny. (The commentariat dislikes him because they have the memory of mayflies and attribute things to him that he never said or did, but I doubt Willis has this problem.)

        1. nekobawt

          not necessarily an active dislike on willis’s part, but stuff he’s said has indicated a distinct lack of patience for the character. i don’t have any links to back up my claim, sorrynotsorry.

  14. JessWitt

    For sitcom conveniences, Danny. This explains ALL the friendships.

  15. Opus the Poet

    OK not Danny, Joe looks like he is still in the running.

  16. newllend

    May want to rename today’s strip “Everyone pisses of Danny.”

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      I wonder if someone drew a cock on their whiteboard?

      1. newllend

        Wait a minute, was all those dicks only in the girls dorm?

        1. nekobawt

          probably, i can’t imagine many guys would have whiteboards on their doors to begin with. although if they did, i’d think the locals would have beaten the whiteboard dingdong bandit to the punch on day one.

        2. timemonkey

          Yeah, guys living among other guys tend to understand that any opportunity for someone to draw a dong WILL result in a dong being drawn. If they had their own whiteboards it[‘d just turn into a dongfest instantly and nobody would care.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          That’s what I want to know.

        4. Deanatay

          I sounded like only Clark 3, the third floor of the Clark wing, was vandalized. Not sure where I saw that, but I have that impression.

      2. John

        Yeah. It was Joe. It has his phone number written on it.

    2. Yotomoe

      That is either missing an f, or you misspelled On.

      1. Swerve

        With all the typos and autocorrect issues in today’s comments section, I think we need Letter Man to come b and pull some consonants off his jersey.

      2. ninja_jesus

        Either one works, really.

  17. Swerve

    I’ve been asking myself the same question when it comes to Whirl: Why am I friends with that nut-job? Answer: when Whirl decides to hang out with you, you don’t say no, unless you want to visit the CR Chamber.

    As for Danny and Joe, it’s a nice inversion of the cliche: a sticky Jew and a nebbishy gentile. Once again Willis mines comedy gold for years on end!

    1. Swerve

      Stupid autocorrect! That should have read “studly”, not “sticky”. I think my phone is succumbing to the ennui of the place I’m in.

      1. Mass Confusion

        I don’t know. With all the sex Joe has, you’d think he’d get pretty sticky from time to time

  18. Carriethedragon

    Oh, hey, it’s Joe “I only own like 3 shirts but I look hot in all of them” Rosenthal.

    1. nekobawt

      you forgot the “and even hotter in none of them…ladies“

  19. Emperor Kiva

    Joe you’re a fucking dumbass!

    1. Emperor Kiva

      I wish Joyce would punch Joe again….Last time was hilarious.

      1. Rybridge

        Joyce and Mike are a fun team.

        1. tinfoil theory

          Are we at the dockyard?

  20. Jenny Creed

    This spring on Slipshine: Joe and Amazi-girl performs a super sex.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      More likely title “Amazi-Girl performs a suplex”.

      1. Yotomoe

        That’s my fetish.

        1. Rybridge

          “Amazi-Girl Starts Her Day Off with a Nice Hot Cup of Joe”

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Joe is sure to perk-her-later. 😛

        3. Rybridge

          We were destined to meet Plasma Mongoose.

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          ^_^ I only wish CRACKED.com was still working for me, for some strange reason, I cannot see the photoplasty entries and I cannot check out the comment section so I’m posting more here to make up for it.

        5. Rybridge

          I’m sorry. Cracked is an awesome site. It hooked me in with its list of vigilantes more awesome than Batman, or something title similarly. Which is also appropriate given the context of this comic.

        6. Camachri

          …

          You have my eternal admiration, ma’am.

        7. Yotomoe

          I think Plas is a bloke.

        8. Deanatay

          Are you sure? I thought all mongeese were female. A male one would be a mongander. 😉

        9. Gigafreak

          Or would that be a womon-goose?

        10. Plasma Mongoose

          Plasma Mongoose is:
          1/ Male
          2/ Female
          3/ Whatever hir wants to be ✓

        11. Camachri

          Excellent. Readjusting all future referrals to “mate”.

  21. Nono

    Wow, Joe’s kind of a jerk considering just weeks ago he referred to her as ‘Zippy the Pinhead’.

    1. newllend

      Really? Man I don’t remember that, fuck you Joe.

    2. Swerve

      Joe has the attention span of a Scraplet.

    3. David M Willis

      he was referring to zippy the pinhead as zippy the pinhead, hopefully that’s okay

  22. Kernanator

    Looks like Amazi-Girl’s moveset is different enough from Dorothy’s that she can’t be called a clone anymore!

    /Smash Bros jokes

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      So Dotty isn’t Ryu to Amber’s Ken anymore?

  23. Maycroft

    He will get angry at Amber, stop talking to her, meet with sal, and they’ll end up together to Amber’s discomfort.
    And I will enjoy watching every minute it.

    1. ninja_jesus

      As much as I would love to support Danny, Amber doesn’t deserve any shit just because she decided to confide in Dorothy, a journalist who can potentially keep the public on her side if Blaine ever shows back up to accuse her of assault.

      I feel for Dan too, but I’m sure he will be vindicated in the end. They all will, in one way or another, lol.

    2. ninja_jesus

      Actually, if I think about, has Danny not been given a lot of good things so far? Even if they weren’t things he was looking for, you can’t say that he’s never gotten anything good. 2 girls have attempted to make out with him, with one succeeding. He’s hung out with a lot of interesting people, including Sal, a girl who would’ve otherwise probably ignored his existence entirely. He has a superhero for a girlfriend, and he’s been given a second chance with her after finding out that the one girl that was chasing after him was the same superhero he was already going out with.

      Sure, life (read: Willis) has thrown him a bunch of curve balls, but it does that to everyone in this comic. That you and I identify with Danny more doesn’t change the fact that he is no worse off than anyone else in DoA.

      1. kodra

        I think people get annoyed with Danny because he has enjoyed a relatively charmed existence and still whines about it.

  24. Nono

    Y’know, I’m hoping that Joe gets some actual plot development soon. Yes, he’s a side character, but considering how late his development was in the Walkyverse, I’m really wishing that he won’t be this insufferable every time he pops up for a one-time joke about his philandering habits or to poke fun at Danny or Joyce.

    (Come to think of it, Ethan hasn’t met Joe yet, has he? Considering Joe and Jacob are pretty much the hottest dudes of the cast that should be interesting.)

    1. nekobawt

      they’ve met at least once, although they didn’t exchange words on-screen (on-panel?)

      Joe doesn’t need all that much developing. He’s already FAR better than he was at the start of the Walkyverse.

      The only time he’s really a dick seems to be around Danny and they’ve both brought up a good point ‘why are they friends since they have nothing in common’? It’s a question I’ve asked myself before, and it’s weird how Danny seems completely unable to predict Joe’s behaviour considering how long and how ell he’s supposedly known him. Almost seems like Danny lives as much ina fantasy when it comes to friends as he does in relationships.

      1. Nono

        Considering how Danny stuck to Dorothy? I’d say loyalty is his big shtick. Make a friend with him, you’ve got him for a long time unless you really mess it up.

        ‘Course, now he’s at the time where he’s discovering that sometimes, friends are jerks.

        1. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

          Clinging to someone isn’t the best example of loyalty, however. But with Joe… well, Joe’s an insensitive womanizer, Danny responds poorly to consideration from others, and rewards the opposite. They’re actually quite compatible…Sadly.

  25. StClair

    This is, from the hints we were given, pretty much the same dynamic that Gary Mitchell had with original-flavor Jim Kirk (that is, head-in-books, make-Captain-by-30, total grind; think Dorothy, here) – take the kid under his wing and generously extend to him the perks of being the pet project of friends with the BMOC, including being tossed whatever girls said BMOC decides not to go after himself.

    1. tinfoil theory

      Kirk was the worst captain.
      How many crew members died on his watch? How many deaths could have been prevented had the Enterprise been captained by someone halfway competent?

      1. timemonkey

        I don’t like kirk by any means, but you can’t really blame him for most of those deaths. Space is vast and wonderous, but it’s also incredibly dangerous and losses are to be expected even at the best of times, especially in the early days before anyone really knows what to expect.

      2. DSL

        Watchimg many of the TOS episodes through jaded and older eyes, I no longer buy the “finest crew in Starfleet” guff. If they were, the Klingons et al could have had the Federation just by asking for the keys. I now think that the crew of 1701-original were a leper-colony bunch of misfits assigned to a hangar queen in hopes of getting rid of them.

        1. tinfoil theory

          That would explain the exploding consoles.

          I always liked the theory that everyone on the enterprise except the doctors were suicidally depressed. The plots make a lot more sense that way.

  26. Zaxares

    The scary thing? Given what Mike said to Amazi-girl and her reaction, Joe’s probably right.

  27. Idon'tcarenomore

    The only 2 part Star Trek, and supposed to be the first, showed a different Capt. of the Enterprise, I believe named Capt. Christopher? He ended up in a wheelchair and living on a planet that could make him live the rest of his life in a fantasy world as being young and whole again. Kirk kidnapped him and took him there against Star Ship regulations of course, and that’s how we got Kirk.
    Supposedly he was never the first choice, the other ‘Capt.’ was, but someone in the higher-ups wanted him….so, if true, that’s why he got it.

    As for Joe, he never listens to anyone, unless they are discussing women.

    1. StClair

      Pike. Christopher Pike.
      (originally played by Jeffrey Hunter, and in the new movies by Bruce Greenwood)

      Rejected, out-of-fictional-universe, by NBC execs who wanted a captain who wasn’t so thinky and broody, more of an action hero. And that’s how we got Kirk.

      1. StClair

        (Oh, and it was Spock, who’d served under Pike, who hijacked the ship and risked his career, even his life, to give his captain a chance at a new life. Years later, Spock’s new captain would do the same for him…)

  28. tigikay

    Because she trusts Dorothy’s competence and friendship. You will most likely Dan things up, Dan.

    Also, I think people are assuming that Joe believes Dan about Amazi-girl, which via the dialogue seems the opposite. I think Joe is just Joe-ing around, Dan claiming that he is dating this cool vigilante sounds more like a joke to Joe.

  29. Ry

    Well, Danny has *always* been a little slow on the uptake…

  30. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

    Danny-wanny learning the importance of dealing with the non-fairytale side of relationships, as it’s the majority of it anyway, again? He’s not going to try to make her feel sorry for this, is he? Odds are not favorable for a good outcome…

  31. Heather

    Danny, please don’t be whiny when a girl with a lot of issues chooses to talk to someone else.

    1. Gigafreak

      Amber may not even be aware that Danny is feeling left out. Dina’s the one who barred him entry, and Ambder skipped class to SLEEP, not to avoid Danny.

    2. Shadic

      Are you really faulting the guy for being offended for going to the newpapers (And his ex-girlfriend) instead of him for advice?

      1. John

        Given that Danny has been aggressively clueless about this entire situation from the beginning, and has recently realized that fact, yeah, I’d say that he doesn’t deserve to expect that anyone, especially Amber, should ever consult him about anything.

        1. DavidMcG

          You two look like you’re arguing with yourself with those matching avatars!

        2. John

          Billie’s good at arguing with herself!

  32. Minder

    whoa there danny i actually missed you

    1. John

      [insert tired joke about aim]

    2. timemonkey

      Sometimes I miss Danny too.

      1. Deanatay

        … but your aim is *yawn* improving? *zzzzz*

  33. Andrew Hall

    I request more Rosenthal action. Joe and his dad have been responsible for most of my favorite lines in the strip to date. And you know the Rosenthals themselves feel about more Rosenthal action!

  34. Zobot

    …why ARE they friends? Honestly, this iteration of Danny and Joe seem like they have almost no reason to hang out with each other.

  35. MarcinMN

    Hmm, so that’s my problem. I never hung around with any 10s…

    Well, this revelation comes a bit too late. 😉

  36. TrueVCU

    A related question: why is ANYONE friends with Mike

    1. Jen Aside

      He’s a great friend when… you need someone to punch you in the face?

      1. TrueVCU

        But having a need to be punched in the face would mean he would refuse to punch you in the face

  37. Aolbain

    Ah, good job Joe. Throw away the last sympaty I had for you.

  38. takashid

    Seriously joe has been really unlikeable lately

  39. Orangey

    Just realised how dickish this is on Joe’s part, as Danny has already told him before about Amazi-Girl’s issues with her abusive shitstain of a father, (briefly but he still told him), and instead of putting the two and two together, he just ignores him here and says how anyone with issues will be good in bed. Ughhhh.

  40. Rheios

    Wait…did Joe just try to compliment Danny by calling him a 7?

  41. Fish Facade

    I do believe this is the last time we see Joe without 5 o’clock shadow.
    Um, spoiler alert.
