Penny and Aggie/Recap/The Popsicle War/Everybody Loves Duane: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

At school, Samantha, Charlotte and Cyndi put into motion Karen's plan to expose Duane as a Muslim. Samantha seductively asks him out to the next popsicle party, ostensibly to make her ex-boyfriend Omar jealous. Although painfully aroused, Duane retains the self-control to say he'll think it over. Charlotte, rather more awkwardly, approaches him next, clad in a makeshift hijab, veil and gloves, and speaking (from flashcards) according to her stereotypical notion of a "submissive" Muslim woman. He tells her as well that he'll consider her invitation. Walking away, Duane finds himself, to his surprise, feeling compassion for her despite what she did to Sara.

 

=== Tropes ===

* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Duane is this character trope throughout the strip, but this exchange is perhaps him at his nerdiest:

'''Duane:''' My pop and I got this new Super [[Scrabble]] set... but... we can reschedule... }}

* [[Editorial Synaesthesia]]: An innovative example, in [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=795 this strip], combines the typical sequential art "pain" stars (radiating from Duane's crotch) with sad-face emoticons, in order to connote "painful sexual arousal."
