    Joe, did you learn nothing from Gender Studies?

    1. Slartibeast Button, BIA

      He learned nothing from The Lesson Of Ed Gruberman.

      1. Formedras

        Joe. Approach me that you might see.

      2. Cholma

        He learned that a not single one of us could defeat him, so we’ll have to gang up on him!

        1. Kirt Dankmyer

          I’m so glad there are still people who remember that old thing. “You know who said THAT? Mel, the cook on Alice!”

        2. Hexx

          Would anybody like a piece of pie?

        3. JasonAW3

          Boot -> head.

  2. Cholma

    I wouldn’t exactly say it fits Danny either… but whatevs.

    1. Thag Simmons

      I mean it’s a little small but it seems he can still fit in it.

      1. eh, whatever

        Can he close it? If not, he’s not fitting in it.

        1. Mr D phone posting

          I’m not sure Sal can close it…

        2. Needfuldoer

          Irrelevant. It’s a cool jacket, not a warm jacket.

        3. Rowen Morland

          He has that Emma Frost, black leather look, going on.

        4. Mturtle7

          The trick is that it doesn’t close, which might NORMALLY make one say he doesn’t fit in it, he actually looks so rad wearing it like that with his pecs uncovered that it actually DOES fit, in context.

        5. Taellosse

          a bolero jacket isn’t supposed to close!

    2. Madock345

      I would. He should really dress like this from now on.

    3. Mark

      Just add a fez, and he’d look like the Disney Aladdin.

  3. Switchchris26

    I hope we get to see Joe’s response here and it doesn’t just cut away lol.

    1. Thag Simmons

      [glares silently] is a response! It’s the best response, arguably.

  4. Sirksome

    Honestly I think the hat worked better for him.

  5. Animedingo

    Did he get sexually transmitted swagger

    1. Throwatron

      “The swagger is coming from inside the Danny! The swagger’s been coming from inside the Danny, the whole time!”

    2. Slartibeast Button, BIA

      Is that anything like the Boogie-Woogie Flu?

      1. Joe Moose

        Not unlike the Rockin’ Pneumonia

    3. Reltzik

      … maybe sexually generated instead?

    4. saltchocolate

      He is now one haircut away from hot. ?

    5. Proto

      He just had sex, and he feels so good. This is Danny’s version of afterglow.

    6. Da Boy

      Sal’s clothes might be enchanted with some of her power, just look at Joyce wearing her shirt.

  6. Slartibeast Button, BIA

    Does that make Danny a sheep in wolf’s clothing?

  7. Imogen

    you all can make fun of me for the “Danny’s an egg” theory all you like. they made fun of Galileo too.

    1. Tesset

      God. If Willis makes me care about hat guy girl as a character…. Like, incredible move, way to make me interested in the most boring character in the whole comic lol

      1. Imogen

        The reading is three. There’s evidence for it. It can all be explained away for now, but one day, the prophecy declares, Danny will stumble upon a copy of Fallout: New Vegas, and from there…

        1. Imogen

          The reading is there, too.

        2. Imogen

          The most common tragedy I know is the guy who overcomes his issues with masculinity, comes into his own, extracts all misogyny from his system, proves that cis guys can be great allies and use their privilege to help othes… and then realizes she’s a girl.

        3. Tesset

          Me in 2015 for no explainable reason, having just been introduced to feminist theory: I have to get over my toxic masculinity, and I have to do it by getting comfortable wearing a skirt!

        4. FlamestAndLight

          “. . . Why are you wearing a skirt?”
          “I’m a feminist!”
          “Okay but . . .”

        5. Pergola

          Try a kilt first?

        6. Imogen

          oh my god LITERALLY THE SAME! “umm, guys can wear skirts too! see! I’ll demonstrate! I’ll. hm. hmm. wowie it sure does twirl…”

        7. Adept

          That would honestly be a little depressing. What would Willis be trying to say? A sensitive, non-misogynistic guy is on his way to realising he’s actuall a gal?

        8. Jay

          Willis is somewhere on the non-binary spectrum, IIRC, but it would still be quite a self-diss to put “if you want to be a decent guy, you have to be a girl” in their comic.

          …being a decent guy *does* require stepping out of some other people’s definitions of guyhood, but ugh, why are we letting the most toxic people define what manhood should be?

        9. Imogen

          I think y’all are trying to turn “maybe Danny is trans” into an attack on twinks, and I don’t think you realize that’s how it sounds?? Like, I’m not saying all twinks are trans girls, Jesus, slow down.

        10. Abdomino

          Legitimate fear of mine. I currently hold the position of Cis+ but you’re always just one epiphany away…

        11. Tesset

          You don’t have to be afraid of it 🙂 Being a girl is great, and ur always welcome to join us <3

        12. Casi

          Don’t get my hopes up!

    2. Dante

      I wouldn’t go for full-on girl!Danny but considering none of the (other?) cis guys in the cast have The Blushies, yet Booster does, enby!Danny would be a lot of fun.

      I do like the idea of cis!Dan being a Soft Boy who’s done the work of unsubscribing from the patriarchy, but yeah. Sweetie is already bi, what’s one more shade of rainbow among friends :33

    3. Bysmerian

      Oh good, I was wondering if anyone else thought the whole “good egg” thing was Willis doing their foreshadowing thing

    4. TheStranger

      It would be a hell of a way to destroy Sal after she told Marcie “I’ll do anything for love, but I won’t do that.”

      1. Imogen

        It’d also be funny if girl/nbDanny caused a confusing bicurious realization in Sal. That’d mess with Marcie and might give Marcie more of an arc of her own to explore. She’s often pretty sidelined. Trans people break orientations sometimes!

    5. Rose by Any Other Name

      Did I not literally make a joke about that yesterday or the day before?
      The Danny “Egg” references certainly seem to be leading me that direction.

  8. Kyrik Michalowski

    Wonderbread you are adorable; never change.

    1. Casi

      appropriate grav is appropriate

    2. 3oranges

      He might have to change. Sal will want her jacket back sooner or later.

      1. Steamweed

        Joyce has her shirt; Danny has her jacket. This keeps up, Sal’s gonna run out of clothes!

        1. StClair

          it’s a race between her and Oscar “Man-Man” Wilde.

  9. Slartibeast Button, BIA

    Is Sal still in there, or has she gone out the window, as is her wont?

    1. Freezer

      I sincerely doubt she’d leave without her jacket. It’d be like Linus leaving his blanket at Charlie Brown’s.

      And I realize certain mindsets will run wild with certain implications of that sentence. I’m not about to die on either side of that hill, so perv away, ‘ya filthy animals.

      1. zee

        She has two jackets in there thanks to joyce

  10. Schpoonman

    Danny’s been playing FighterZ again, hasn’t he? I recognize that Gogeta win pose.

    1. RassilonTDavros

      …dang, it’s not far off, is it.

  11. Sirksome

    Post sex Danny is pretty full of himself.

    1. Emperor Norton II

      Post sex Sal is also full of Danny, HEEEYO!

      1. Casi

        I hope not, i do hope they used a condom. Last thing Sal needs is a baby scare, especially if Linda found out.

        1. Jon

          I hate to say it but…I think if it was with somebody as white as Danny, Linda would not only “forgive” Sal for her “minor slip up,” but support her through it as well.

          “Settling down and having kids with a conventional white boy” is probably at the top of their list for her.

        2. Adept

          Surely she’s on the pill or has an implant.

        3. NickG

          In the Slipshine Sal tells Danny she has an IUD fitted, and that she’s been tested and she knows where Danny’s been.

        4. NGPZ

          I will NEVER touch those. my shark weeks are already hell T_T

        5. Mark

          I mean, there’s a dozen or so right there on the desk….

    2. Dana

      If he’s going to be like that with anyone it’s safe with Joe.

      1. Bash

        Let’s be fair, Joe has earned some teasing from Danny.

    3. zee

      He just made sweet love to sal walkerton and had her pouting that they couldn’t cuddle any longer. He’s earned it

  12. Teddae

    okay, sorry not gonna lie… Danny has a point. Masc people wearing their femme/female partners’ clothes can be hot

    1. zee

      Imo a cropped jacket is one of the hottest things a guy could wear. It’s such a huge part of the reason Trunks was so fine, and that was his mom’s jacket

      1. DorJoJo

        Honestly shocked Capsule Corp doesn’t have a fashion division considering how dripped out that family is.

  13. StClair

    I’m not hearing a “no”.

    1. clif

      Joe’s argument is invalid. It says so right in the alt-text.

  14. Mr. Random

    Danny embracing how… himself he is, kinda makes me like him more.

    1. Amelie Wikström

      When Danny becomes more like himself, he could say he’s Danning it up.

      It would make Joe so angry.

      Also if he’s turning out to be a girl, she can still go by Danny. Then she’ll Dan it even more up.

  15. Taffy

    Get his ass, Danny.

    1. clif

      Seize his assets you say?

  16. Grimey

    Joe’s not only mad that Danny is right, but that he gets to be right in a cool jacket.

  17. HueSatLight

    Danny’s snazzy enough, he should be saying, “Sexile ended, Joe. You may reënter.”

  18. JA

    Joe’s mad because he knows Danny’s right.

  19. Aslan

    Oh, Danny GAGGED him

  20. Coatl

    Hehehe..Joe’s expression at the end was an obvious “damn, you’re right.”

  21. Sterling

    could estrogen save her? many are asking

    1. Imogen

      MANY ARE ASKING

      1. IntangibleMatter

        MANY MANY MANY

        1. Tesset

          Some very suddenly and somewhar confusedly.

        2. Florence

          The egg Danny nation begins!!!!!!

    2. Rose by Any Other Name

      Estrogen can save us all.

  22. JessWitt

    Love how confidently smug Danny is here.

  23. John in CA

    Very 80s action hero of him.

  24. IntangibleMatter

    The question is… is Sal wearing any of his?

    None of his clothes are really her style

    Idk… underwear…??

    1. Dante

      If anyone could make that hat look cool…

  25. Dante

    He’s so deconstructed, so secure on his masculinity, and so well-fucked literally nothing could bring him down. Even Joyce remember his name now.

    It has happened. Danny has become too powerful.

    1. Sajuuk-Khar

      He smoke too different

    2. Bash

      I’ve been thinking about the phrase “secure in his masculinity” a bit lately. I’m not saying its always wrong, but sometimes I feel like the opposite is true too. Some guys are comfortable with an ambiguous gender presentation.

      1. Dante

        Yeah, it’s kind of old fashioned, but I couldn’t think of a better phrasing. I usually mean it (and tend to hear it) as a dude with no doubts in the Gender Identity department, so anything goes in the Gender Presentation area (including being quite femme)

        1. Bash

          I think that as our cultural perception of gender evolves, it opens up new ways of thinking about this stuff. In the past, the discourse started and ended with “a straight guy who is feminine must be SO SECURE in his masculinity that he’s not afraid to be called gay or whatever”. A more modern way of looking at it (for some people) might be “masculinity isn’t very important to him”.

        2. a/snow/mous/e

          “secure in his gender identity” maybe (that probably includes gender presentation and fluctuation right)

        3. Dante

          I’ll take it o/ Thank you!

        4. Azhrei Vep

          Dude’s just secure at the moment. Period.

          If anything, he’s secure in his Danity.

        5. Dante

          Do keep in mind I read these at 1am (at the earliest). I do my best but coherence levels may vary.

          Very much agreed though, he’s come into himself and it’s really refreshing to see.

      2. Adept

        Yup. Masculinity is largely a show, pantomime. I’m a straigh guy, but I don’t worry about it or try to present as male or straight. Those CIS gender games annoy me. Same with women working hard to ”femme” themselves up.

      3. Mark

        How about “comfortable in his own skin”?

        1. clif

          Wearing someone else’s skin tends to be frowned upon.

      4. HueSatLight

        That’s what it means. There’s more than one way to be masculine, it doesn’t have to be trying to fit some macho mold.

        1. Taffy

          And it starts to feel a little weird when all forms of masculinity are just automatically lumped together in the “Get Rid Of It™” box.

        2. Dante

          Yeahhhh, it’s kind of sad for us transmasc enby dykes tbh

  26. BBCC

    Note that Joe doesn’t deny it.

  27. Adam Black

    Dannys leveled up

    But I know who has a leather jacket that will fit Him
    ( carla )

    1. Miri

      Carla can probably very easily acquire a jacket that’ll fit him in a pretty short timeframe, but the jackets she currently owns may be long enough for him but will be too narrow for him. He has broad shoulders and she is slender.

  28. Chaucer59

    Danny 2; Joe 0.

  29. DailyBrad

    I love Danny so much.

  30. NinjaNick

    Danny’s got a point.

  31. Sajuuk-Khar

    I really want to see Joe try to rock a sweater vest

    Or get one of Joyce’s hoodies over his head long enough to run face-first into a wall

    1. Disastroid

      Big Clark Kent energy.

      1. Schpoonman

        “Hey-o, Joyce! ‘Hey-o’?”

    2. zee

      He’d flex and rip it. And then Joyce would jump his bones

  32. Risky

    Who is this new character talking to Joe? Very smexy.

    1. Bash

      Confident Danny is so hot!

  33. BadRoad

    Joe is not *just* jealous he can’t fit in it. He has additional reasons.

  34. AY

    Proud of Danny for this tbh, rock on.
    Also I’m not against egg!Danny theories but I personally like the niche he fills in the main cast as he is. Unraveling societal rules about what’s acceptable for a cis man to do, and then freely doing those things without shame, is nice.

    1. AY

      Reroll

      1. AY

        Leslie is nice but we can do better

        1. AY

          Hope everyone’s had a nice weekend

        2. AY

          Y’know what, sure, I’ll take the Jennifer for now

        3. Dante

          Aw but Leslie fit the comment so nicely :’33

          Agreeing with you btw /o/

    2. AY

      (coming back to say that I meant that “acceptable” to be in quotations, obviously. I just think it’s healthy for Danny to explore these things)

      1. zee

        You said societal rules, I think that automatically means “bs and arbitrary”. You’re good

    3. Bash

      At the start of the comic I feel like he was anxious about fitting in, but now he’s happy to just be himself and do what he wants to do. It’s nice.

      1. AY

        Yeah, exactly. I like that for him

  35. stellatedHexahedron

    Genuinely can’t tell if Joe’s annoyed cause Danny’s right or because he’s so confident in his wrongness

    1. Bash

      Wrong about what exactly? About masculine stereotypes that he doesn’t care about?

      Or about Joe being jealous?

    2. Mturtle7

      Both, in a way. I think he’s annoyed that their friend dynamic has shifted so much that Danny can confidently assert that he is sexier than Joe is.

      In Joe’s head, this is basically the Darth Vader vs. Obi Wan final showdown. “When I left you, I was but a learner. Now, *I* am the master…”

  36. Nono

    I think Joe wearing Joyce’s clothes would look like a crop top. Which could be kinda hot in itself.

  37. Erinaceus

    If your manhood is so fragile that you gotta depend on following dumb little rules you made up, I’d keep it to your damn self

    –Joe, 2013

    1. Erinaceus

      Specifically here.

    2. HueSatLight

      good memory

      1. HueSatLight

        Also, time for Joe to take Danny shoe shopping.

  38. Miri

    Eh, my husband and I share jackets both ways. Of course, I generally buy myself XL ones because I like being enveloped in fleece that comes down to mid-thigh and that I can wrap myself right into, and he’s tall and broad-shouldered (he’s virtually a foot and a half taller than me). I do have some that are more fitted that he doesn’t borrow, and some that were purchased in the women’s section but when I check if he minds when they’re the first ones I find if they’ll fit comfortably he won’t (they’re generally black/grey ones anyway; done up, you cannot tell).

    We have reached the point where he’ll let me know that he’s bought us new fleeces because it’s just recognised that most of these are shared ❤️

  39. CianM1301

    Joe’s silence can be interpreted in one of two ways:
    1) What Danny said is the stupidest thing he’s heard, and he’s waiting for Danny to realise it.
    2) He’s silently seething because Danny’s right, and he knows it.

    1. Lysbeth

      Both, I wager.

    2. thejeff

      He likes the idea, but realizes he couldn’t possibly fit into anything Joyce wears.

      1. Big Z

        I’m sure there are things he could fit a sock over.

        (like his index finger, you pervert, what were YOU thinking I meant?)

  40. Da Boy

    He got you there, Joe XD

  41. Christron5000

    So Danny is just having the best time in this comic, huh? His grades are good, his bills are paid, his skin is clear, his girlfriend is so into him, he’s straight up FUCKIN’

    Danny is “boring and cringey” but he is FREE!

  42. staszu13

    Yep that’s the Danny we all hate

    1. timemonkey

      That’s a strange way to spell love.

  43. Amós Batista

    Ugh. Danny, you’re being incredibly annoying against Joe.
    Please, continue.

    1. Wilde

      It gives me the warm fuzzies. Like, everyone around her knows she’s a softy who will let her friends borrow her clothes, despite her grumbling.

      1. Wilde

        Crap, wrong thread.

        1. Amós Batista

          Too late, you had paid attention to me and I just answered.

  44. Needfuldoer

    Danny is now the third character to wear something of Sal’s in this chapter.

    1. JessWitt

      Who’s the third one besides him and Joyce?

      1. thejeff

        Sal, I assume.

  45. Rabisch

    Maybe exactly because it’s too short even for Danny, but Sal’s Jacket looks extremely good on him. Joe is 100% jealous.

  46. Stephen Nedland

    Game, set, match, Danny.

  47. DashWallkick

    Post-lay Danny is absolutely running circles around Joe.

    1. Pseudowolf

      He’s got that “just got laid” energy?

  48. Kazuma Taichi

    as someone who picked up a rad women’s jacket, one which I can’t fit in because the shoulders are just a little too narrow on it: how dare you Danny

  49. Juanoku

    So true Dan

  50. Esolo

    Joe: “…okay that’s true but ANYWAY…”

  51. darkoneko

    heh

  52. Axel

    I’m sure Joyce has a scarf or something he can wear

  53. anon

    more men should wear ill-fitted ‘girlfriend’ shirtsl ol
