    Making the sock a liar just cannot stand!

    1. alex

      WON’T ANYBODY THINK OF THE CHILDRE- I MEAN THE SOCK!

    2. Tom T.

      Danny now needs to borrow the sock.

    3. Mikehatesyou

      The sock is a metaphor for Joe and his morals concerning sex.
      Someone get David Willis an Eisner.

      Then smash him over the head with it.

      1. J.J.Rocker

        Blood. So much blood. It’s everywhere.

  2. captainswift

    Socks are big ol’ liars anyway. Never trust a sock!

    1. Joe H

      Exactly. Never trust anything that willingly lets you step all over them.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Let alone anything willing to ‘accommodate your foot’ so easily.

        1. Kernanator

          Socks are slutty masochists. That’s all I’m going to say.

          Also, I have made this an endless recursion of Roz. At least until Plasma changes his gravatar again.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I change my gravatar more often than most people change their socks.

    2. Creativerealms

      Which is why my dog attacks socks, he hates liars.

      Actually they are cheep toys but them being liars sounds better.

  3. Spiffster13

    The sock had dignity and standards! Danny ruined it! RUINED IT!!!

    1. fellixe

      The sock has integrity, Danny! You can’t just put words in its mouth like… some kind of fabric talking doll type thingy with the fingers and the mouth and…

      1. Virus

        I saw what you did there, and I enjoyed it. Well done, Mr Spaced avatar.

        1. fellixe

          Yay! Somebody recognized! Bonus points if you’re in the U.S. because the degree of difficulty for picking up on that raises here.

        2. Virus

          I’m in Canada! …Okay, I’m British and only moved to Canada two years ago. Damn, blew my bonus points… But I introduced it to my Canuck girlfriend, that’s gotta count for something?

  4. Chrisby

    Now Joe’s gonna have to have sex with like 30 chicks so the sock can feel good about itself again.

    1. Darth Shadow

      So, an average Sunday for Joe, then?

    2. Mkvenner

      But then he’ll get a bunch of vds.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        What would Joe have need for a Virtual Dedicated Server for anyhow??

        1. Aizat

          Yeah, Joe needs a Real Dedicated Server and by that I mean vagina.

        2. Shippy McShipper

          To host videos, obviously.

    3. Plasma Mongoose

      I hope he washes that sock after every girl, cos you know…

    4. Dean

      He won’t take any pleasure in it, he’ll do it simply out of a sense of duty to the sock.

      Well, maybe a little pleasure.

  5. addude

    I never thought I would ever type this but I agree with Joe.

    1. Mkvenner

      I don’t on principle.

    2. Professor Zoot

      Yeah, where the hell did the wisdom come from here?

  6. TheTJ

    Joe clearly prefers his dorr-knob socks to be completely honest.

  7. Mkvenner

    Well played Mr. Willis, well played.

    1. Mkvenner

      Unless you had Randy write this arc.

      1. ALostProphet

        No thankyou, ‘DoA!’ is depressing enough already.

  8. Plasma Mongoose

    Socks are often used to tell lies, usually by being stuffed in men’s underpants.

    1. George

      Or women’s shirts… I’ve seen it. It was a joke, but I’ve seen it.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        I thought women used tissues or hankies for that sort of thing.

  9. Xailenrath Omniversal

    NEVER impugn the integrity of the sock, Danny!!
    🙁
    “Dickdeep in ladyparts?”
    Really, Joe?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      The guy’s a poet!

    2. a99steaksauce

      What? It’s an accurate estimate of how far in Danny would have gone.

  10. mechaqua

    Well Danny&Amber shippers your ship isn’t sunk yet.

    1. a99steaksauce

      I did said that a lifeboat of the ship survived.

  11. Aizat

    Yep, they just talked. With no clothes on.

  12. Xartarin

    Oh hey, I think that last panel was on the tumblr a while ago, neat.

  13. MontyPla

    GODDAMMIT DANNY

  14. Wonder Wig

    “Now I demand you make an honest woman out of this sock!”

    1. fellixe

      This pleases me.

      1. MontyPla

        It’ll probably please the sock too.

        1. Anne Onymous

          Your gravatar = win.

  15. ALostProphet

    Called it!

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Seconded!

    2. Imska

      I HAVE SHAMELESSLY REPLICATED YOUR COMMENT BELOW

      1. ALostProphet

        REPLICATION-five! *high fives*

  16. mechaqua

    So does the sock get a gravatar now?

    1. Aizat

      Please let it be a gravatar.

      1. ALostProphet

        I demand a Sock Gravatar!

        1. mechaqua

          Also the sock needs a name anyone got any ideas? I am thinking Walter?

        2. ALostProphet

          Nah, let’s stick with ‘Sock’. It’s catchy!

        3. mechaqua

          Yeah your probably right.

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          How about Knobby cos you know…

        5. mechaqua

          That is funny on two levels!

        6. Kernanator

          Knobby Knobs?

        7. Marr

          Like his obvious relative Nobby Nobbs, the protector of unstealable things?

        8. Aizat

          Nah, Socks just fine.

        12. Aizat

        13. Michelle J Caboose

          Socky.

        14. Nikko

          Knobby Knobbington or Socko

  17. Aizat

    LIES! ALL LIES! How do you like my rabid shipper impression?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Needs moar foam around the mouth. 😛

      1. Aizat

        More foam, huh? Thanks for the tip. Now to troll the Wing yaoi fangirls.

        1. Aizat

          And now my impression of of a shipping obsessed fan, “GRAAAAAHHHH! THIS IS WRONG! *Character A* MUST BE WITH *Character C*! *Character B* is a *insert reason here, the more ridiculous the reason, the better*!”

          P.S: Apologies to shippers everywhere.

        2. a99steaksauce

          But its so true. Ive seen it on a couple of site where they are quite litterally like this. Just take out the graaah and thats exactly what Ive seen.

  18. Doctor_Who

    LISTEN TO THE SOCK OF TRUTH! IT DOES NOT LIE!

    Bonus points if you get the reference.

    1. ALostProphet

      Nope, I’m stumped, Doctor.

    2. a99steaksauce

      Im hoping that what im thinking of is correct. Does it involve forks?

    3. Aizat

      I’m guessing it’s from Doctor Who but I can’t tell who said it. Never watched the show because it was never aired in my country.

      1. begbert2

        Pheh, excuses. That’s like somebody claiming to unable to get pregnant just because they’re male.

        1. Aizat

          Unless you’re seahorse or got done in by some alien life form, a male could not get pregnant.

        2. Jack Harkness

          Please, just because you are male and human doesn’t mean you cant enjoy a little insemination.

        3. Jack Harkness

          Eh, Doctor?

        4. Doctor_Who

          *Sigh*.

          Jack, I told you, that wasn’t me. You got all hopped up on Mondasian gin and were making out with a Weeping Angel.

          Poor thing. I’ve never seen something completely immobile try to flee in terror before.

        5. Imska

          So much win encapsulated in the last comment.

        6. Anne Onymous

          Your comment + your name…. XD
          I couldn’t stop laughing!

    4. Plasma Mongoose

      Liar Liar, Socks on Fire!

    5. Doctor_Who

      It was a reference to the famous “Chair Leg of Truth” from Transmetropolitan.

      It does not lie.

  19. Ter

    Dude, YOU MADE THE SOCK A LIAR. HOW COULD YOU D:

  20. lord of dance

    whats that word he used? princ…ipals ?

    1. Jackson

      Oh, like the head of the school!

  21. NF

    The sock is a lie!!!

  22. ALostProphet

    Why isn’t there a tag for ‘sock’ ?

  23. Imska

    CALLED IT.

    1. ALostProphet

      As did I! High Five!

  24. Henry

    NOBODY MAKES JOE’S SOCK A LIAR!

    1. ALostProphet

      ALL CAPS IN EVERY COMMENT

      1. Aizat

        YOU MEAN LIKE THIS?

        1. ALostProphet

          YES EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          COS CAPLOCK IS CRUISE-CONTROL FOR COOOOOOL!

  25. MM

    And after it lost its mate in the tragic Dryer Incident of last Thursday, too. You awful, awful person, Danny.

    (Yes, I realize my gravitar makes this a self-loathing comment.)

    1. mechaqua

      The sock has a tragic life.

      1. Kernanator

        The sock is going to go to the sock bar to binge drink with bottles of bleach. This will result in a downward spin cycle of depression.

        1. a99steaksauce

          Damn you. I usually do that. *shakes fist*

        2. Kernanator

          Hmph. My Pun-Fu is stronger than yours. Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve been doing this longer than you.

          And I learned from the best.

          PLASMA-SENSEI!

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          You learn well young grasshopper! *strokes beard*

        4. a99steaksauce

          Oh Plasma-Sensei, please help me to change my foolish ways. *kneels before Plasma*

        5. a99steaksauce

          I meant the spiraling thing. Not puns. I am nowhere in your league in that respect.

  26. Ridureyu

    Well, idiot Danny could have put his shirt back on before walking out.

    Sorry, he still deserves the trouble he’s getting.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Putting on some pants wouldn’t have hurt either.

      1. Aizat

        And that’s why I think he lied. If he didn’t do it, why is he still in his birthday suit?

        1. ryan

          what if it is his birthday?

      2. mechaqua

        I think he may have had pants the entire time or at least that’s the impression I am getting from panel two.

  27. mechaqua

    i am confused should I respect Danny more or less?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      MORE if you believe he didn’t do it with Billie for a noble reason, LESS if he just chickened out due to performance anxiety.

      1. Aizat

        If he didn’t do it, I hope it’s for a noble reason. I kinda like Danny.

    2. lord of dance

      you should respect him more as a person with dignity, principals, and self-respect, and less as a man cuz as we all know us men don’t have time for any of those

      1. a99steaksauce

        ?

      2. Zababcd

        As far as I know men have roughly the same time allotted to them as women, and the same capacity for dignity, principles, and self-respect. That said, I’m not sure ‘principles’ is the right word for Danny to use. The word ‘standards’, maybe, would be more appropriate. Not in a way offensive to Billie.

  28. Jim

    WHAT A LOSER!!

    1. mechaqua

      Joe, Danny or the sock?

      1. Kernanator

        Yes.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Option D.

        1. Jim

          Where did her top go? I want to see the original for that pic!

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I wish there was such a picture but sadly, my naked Roz grav is just a photoshop.

  29. Jerrery

    I thought college was where you lose your morals and make up new ones. I’m becoming a hedonist vegan next week, I swear.

    1. eerilychildish

      That’s an oxymoron. You can’t be both a hedonist and a vegan, because no true hedonist would deny him/herself the unparalleled joy that is bacon.

      1. a99steaksauce

        Bacon salt?

      2. Kernanator

        This man. He speaks the truth. Bacon forever!

        ALL THE BACON IN THE WORLD COULDN’T SAVE YOU NOW!

      3. Jetstream

        That’s not true. To make up for the lack of bacon the hedonist vegan could simply fuck twice as much.

        1. Grikmeer

          It would have to be at least three times as much… to make up for a lack of BACON!

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      I rather be a hedonist pseudo-vegan* myself.

      *Pseudo-vegan: A person who eats only animals raised on a strict vegan diet.

      1. Michelle J Caboose

        Wouldn’t that be more of a “recursive vegan?”

      2. fogel

        Isn’t that a ‘Vegan-once-removed’?

  30. Aegon01

    I’m actually a little disappointed. I guess I respect his willpower, I know I wouldn’t have had it. Big question remains though…

    WHY DID HE STAY SHIRTLESS? THAT’S A LITTLE WEIRD.

    1. Kernanator

      Simple; because he forgot.

      1. Aegon01

        That’s still kinda odd. So they were talking for, what, 10-15 min while he’s half-naked?

        1. a99steaksauce

          yes.

        2. Kernanator

          Well, yeah. Occam’s razor states that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one, unless contradicted by other evidence. Assuming that Danny is telling the truth, which I’m inclined to think he is, the simplest explanation for why he was shirtless is that he forgot. Hell, even if you assume that he actually did have sex with Billie, this is still the most likely explanation for why he remained shirtless.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      @Aegon01 The number one reason Danny is shirtless: FANSERVICE!

  31. Kernanator

    Somehow, this really doesn’t surprise me. Danny has always seemed to be the honorable type. He was talking about justice once, remember?

    1. iSaidCandleja-

      Mufasa’s brother talked about justice too, but it didn’t make him any more honorable.

      1. Jeremy Irons

        What? Don’t I look trust worthy? No Love for Jerry Irons?

        1. FAIL

          sadly I am new to gravatars….

  32. Oberon

    I just wanna know exactly what “and we started” entailed…

  33. Batman1016

    WILLIS, you cock-blocking SONOFA8!+(# !!!

  34. RD

    Danny is dead to me.

    Also, and maybe it’s just me, but that was totally a cop-out, with all the teasing of sweeps week lesbian kisses on network tv and the same lack of dramatic pay off. I know it’s just a comic strip, but conflict comes from people making mistakes, not from being clear headed and resolving potential conflict off screen, and I feel like a great deal of potential dramatic interest was essentially thrown away.

    1. HumanDoctor

      Danny sleeping with billie would have been TERRIBLE writing. He’s been in a long term committed relationship until a week ago, and is still, by his own admission, confused about what he wants. He’s also repeatedly stated his views on casual sex. It would just be out of character for him to sleep with Billie like that. Not everything has to be a conflict, and the characters don’t always need to make mistakes:sometimes it’s nice to see one character who can make a healthy decision now and then.

      Though it was blatant teasing. But hey, it’s a Willis Comic, what are you expecting?

      1. Wack'd

        To say nothing of the fact that the effect is still the same: regardless of whether they did it or not, Amber THINKS they did, and that situation is still going to need patching up. Therefore, plenty of conflict potential.

        1. RD

          That’s not a real conflict, though, that’s a false conflict or pseudo conflict. Nothing has actually happened to throw a wrench into the possibility of their relationship, Danny has proven himself a decent, respectable man who doesn’t make mistakes even in the heat of the moment, and Amber merely misunderstood the situation. Since nobody has actually done anything at all, conflict cannot exist. This is a Three’s Company, sitcom “conflict” designed to intentionally have no effect on the characters after the end of the episode.

          Real conflict would have been Danny wrestling with his opinion of himself after doing what he thought he wouldn’t, or Amber being forced to rethink her understanding of Danny, or Danny being forced to choose between the excitement of the new and what he thought he wanted. False conflict is Amber having to find out that she misunderstood and then everything is fine again.

      2. RD

        Of course it goes against everything the character believes himself to be, which is exactly what would have made it interesting while still remaining a totally believable situation, because it is not a case of a character doing something completely out-of-character, it is a case of a character doing something that is completely, understandably human. Emotionally wounded, alone, thrust into a completely new situation which is culturally defined as a time of growth, change, and a redefinition of personal ideals, suddenly confronted by a radically new, unforseen situation, Danny gives into temptation and the heat of the moment to do something even moments prior he never would have thought possible. Totally realistic. Happens all the time.

        Now, of course, what happened in the comic, Danny resisting temptation and rationally dealing with the situation is also completely realistic, and could have also been an interesting read if it hadn’t happened off camera. But merely being realistic does not make good fiction. As it is, there is no true conflict created by the story. Conflict was teased at and then wiped away.

        At their very best, slice-of-life comics like these reflect the joy, tragedy, humor, and conflict of real life. I’m not saying the comic, as is, is bad, but I do believe the possibility of being better was missed when the author took the easy way out of a possibly volatile situation.

    DON’T MAKE THE SOCK A LIAR~!

    It seems you’ve invented another meme, Mr. Willis~! :3

    5. karishi

      superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of Gargoyles.

  37. Kalan

    One other thing Danny won’t do because he has his principles is tell Joe to put a sock in it. Mostly on the principle of not getting Joe started on that again.

  38. Noel Schornhorst

    Mister Willis, I, for one, always love some Danny nudity and I thank you for your fanservice!

  39. Locke

    HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, GUYS

    1. begbert2

      And to celebrate: somebody not having sex!

  40. Minder

    CRISIS AVERTED. Oh, Danny, this is why you’re my favorite.

    (Except for Dorothy. And Sarah. And maybe Ethan.)

  41. Tualha

    Groan. That Joe. Nothing on his mind but socks, socks, socks.

  42. Zababcd

    Is that a normal way of putting on a shirt? Am I the only one who puts both arms through first then pulls it over my head?

    1. Cybersnark

      See, I do it the opposite way; head first, then both arms.

    2. a99steaksauce

      I think your all alone. *pats back*

      1. OhHayMike

        *you’re

    3. David

      There are many different ways to put on a shirt, and they can often be an indicator of personality. Putting a shirt on less “messily” is a way to keep one’s hair from getting mussed up, but looking at Danny’s hair that’s clearly not a concern of his. So he just tosses himself into it any way he can.

  43. AJBulldis

    Is it so bad that Danny has principles?

  44. TheBenenator

    Please, Danny. As if nothing is a thing that can actually happen.

    1. fellixe

      I guess Danny’s a nihilist.

    2. Tualha

      No thing happened.

    3. karishi

      Nothing happened. It made Falcor sad.

      1. Tualha

        Snerk. Sorry if this is old hat that everyone’s seen: http://is.gd/XJPRqX

  45. Chuck Testa

    That-a-boy Danny.

  46. AliaPie

    Not the sock! Anything but the sock!

  47. aaron_bourque

    Meh. I’ve made the sock a liar plenty. I just prefer being alone, and if I have to put a sock (or necktie) on the door-handle, then so be it. ‘Specially if you don’t really like your college roommate.

  48. ziggy78eog

    Danny, I am disappoint.

  49. Tobias

    Oh Joe (and therefore, Mr Willis) you hurt me, so much… With Laughter!

    I didn’t think Danny was the type to go in for that sort of thing… The effect with Amber has been the same though. Oh dear!

    I do wonder what they said to each other and how much Billy opened up to the lad, no wonder she looked sheepish.

  50. Rachel

    This isn’t really related, but the strip reminded me of this for some reason.

    http://www.sockloss.com/

  51. Richie9999

    You turned down Billy? How could you Danny? WHY?!?!?!? WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!?!?!?!? She is by far one of the most attractive individuals in this cast of characters here.

  52. Kavonde

    Dude. Seriously?! Danny is clearly suffering from some severe but narrow form of psychosis. I don’t care how nice of a guy you are; once the boobs come out, it is ON.

  53. Darksen

    THE SOCK CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

  54. Charles RB

    …you got me, you sneaky beggar.

  55. Jason

    Anybody else get flashbacks to Dead Poets’ Society?
    Redd: “You made a LIAR out of me, Neil!”
    I always thought that was so over-the-top.

  56. Viredae

    I’m disappointed in you, David, you KNOW you should’ve doen the close-up on the sock!

  57. Gram91

    Anyone else seeing the irony of the situation?

  58. Rheios

    A round for Danny! Cheers for self control. Turning back on higher thinking when everything demands it not be so is no easy feat. Respect.
