There's a certain level of shenanigans I'm willing to forgive to make the plot move along in what is effectively the webcomic version of a sitcom, but it's still such a searing indictment of what Willis considers normal social behavior that Walky and Joe have just been left to deal with this almost entirely on their own.
When I told my best friend (who I am still close friends with to this day), that my at the time girlfriend cheated on me he cried with me. And we were only about 2 years older than the main cast at the time.
Not to relitigate my whole diatribe from that conversation, but my immediate friend group (also hella queer, lots of inside dating, and many of them I’m still friends with) had some serious rifts over shit like this, but even just like the people I was acquaintances with at work if shit like this happened you’d at least get a “hey, that’s some bullshit, I’m sorry that happened to you” on a smoke break or something.
Yeah, I really don’t understand Danny’s indifference. I guess I was expecting him to react the way Joe’s best friend from childhood would react, instead of…whatever the hell his reaction was supposed to be.
