I have to give credit to Banena for the Princess Jasmine joke. The very first comic she made I promptly begged to steal the idea from. She was cool with it. Her original seen here:
I had to assure her I wasn't attempting to one-up her. I just made me laugh so much I had to parody it, and this point in the story was perfect for it. We can obviously see who Ellie prefers to watch a movie and 'just talk' with. :P
More fanart on Wednesday.

Is Danny still sulking in there somewhere or did he rage quit already?
Of course he lost, dude probably spent all his money trying to impress a girl then had to sell off everything he had so he could afford to stay one night in a pricey hotel with nothing to show for it.
First? No first comment, and of all webcomics I read, this is by far my favorite! Keep up the good work! It is awesome! I just am so exited on the days these go out, and I look desperately for the new ones! I think that Shotgun Shuffle > Cyanide and Happyness!
Lmao that was great XD. Props to you and Banana both for bringing us this. Also, my two cents, regardless of who was at fault, Danny should have maintained a professional relationship with Ellie since she is essentially his employee for the weekend. The lroper thing would have veen to wait until the con ended and then ask her out. That way there would be no having to put up with awkward work shifts if it goes south. Mind you, it wouldn’t have made for a good story if he knew how to handle his relationships right from go. Lol
This strip is less about trying to be ‘funny,’ and more just an observation. Jasmine doesn’t want to be controlled, confined, and generally treated like an object or possession. That’s what makes her such a great character with memorable lines and scenes. But then Disney took her wardrobe design and went more stripper than “style of the time.” Granted, the later scene was mostly Jafar perving on her, but her red wardrobe can also be included in the “what were they thinking” column.
That could be Jafar objectifying her, yeahhhh… that makes sense… but it’s still a parallel of what she normally wears, and what she normally wears, is what Disney dressed her in. So there’s a bit of a mixed message in Jasmine’s presentation… overall.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable for a woman to want to look attractive and to also want to be treated like a person. Treating the two as contradictory has tones of blaming the victim.
Although I won’t argue that Disney probably chose her outfits more along the lines of the character designers thinking “What would I like to look at” than “What would Jasmine choose to wear?”
Oh no, the guy who was here before me and escaped using the shuttle hidden in the crate of hamdingers programmed these two. Do you have any idea how many crates of hamdingers I’ve tried to get up here to get another escape shuttle?
Oh…yes…the janitor we sent up first….
Wait, why am I making a distinction between the janitor and the temp who replaced him? All I do is send up the movies! Get back in the theater, you collective heads of knuckle!
WE GOT MOVIE SIIIIGNNNN!!!
Wait, what’s the janitor doing up there with the other one? Frank! Get in here! I think something’s gone wrong in the timestream inversion department again!
Who’s Frank?
Frank? Oh, he’s the low-level flunky I got to replace you after the…giant spider…incident…
…LAR?? But…but…you were eaten by a giant spider! I raised that spider from birth myself with a taste for human flesh and…uh…what I mean is, it was a terrible accident. Yes. Terrible accident.
Now I KNOW something’s gone wrong in temporal mechanics. That’s the last time I hire anything with an address of “Borg Collective.” FRANK! GET IN HERE! BRING THE…OTGUN-SHAY!
What makes this funnier to me is that on Monday, my wife wanted to watch Aladdin. I spent the entire movie laughing to myself, especially when the scene depicted happened.
In College- one of my Cheerleader friends dressed as Jasmine at our Halloween party — to this day that image will always be burned in my mind- adding the stripper pole for me isn’t even required…

And very funny Banena :D
Thanks TLO :)
Table flip?
Or the “I’m sorry but i have to check out early”
Ahhhhahahaha
Well, thanks for the tribute :) I definitely laughed out loud.
Where did Danny go? Sulking over the monopoly game I bet. Did he already lose??? Haha
I think what really sells it is the glare.
Of course he lost, dude probably spent all his money trying to impress a girl then had to sell off everything he had so he could afford to stay one night in a pricey hotel with nothing to show for it.
What’s Monopoly?
Danny’s probably off taking one of those cold falling water things.
Methinks that he’s at the foot of the porcelain god, giving alms to King Raaalph.

My original reply seems to have vanished. Anyway, thanks for the kind words. That really really means alot and makes all the long hours worth it. :D
Ok now that there is funny
Bwhahahahahaha *falls out of chair laughing* Nice one dude, and I love the subtle jab at the shippers you gave with this one ;)
Waiting for the Danny panel with him passed out on peach schapps and appletinis…
More like trying to pass out from those drinks. XD
Coming down from the sugar high might make him black out.
Well, Pumpkin, fighting patriarchy generally doesn’t pay well, especially given that no one’s exactly sure where to send the bills.

Aladdin’s just like “can we have sex yet or what?”
“Do I need to sing again? Is that what this is gonna take? Hey CARPET! Get in here! Need another moonlit ride to close this deal!”
They’re going for a magikarp-et ride?
There were many many titles this comic almost had. And I think you all can figure out exactly why some weren’t used. :(
Now that is one fishy pun.
It’s not bad, but I cod do batter
Sorry Rusche, but I like Banena’s version better.
Something about Jasmine’s face in panel two.
It’s the glare, man! That glare that says “I’ll work a pole if I WANNA work a pole.”
It’s those eyes… The HATE…
jasmine is an independent woman who don’t need no man!
thanks boog :}
I agree, the look of smoldering contempt really sells it.
Coulda been worse. Danny might have had to fall asleep to the sounds of an Olsen Twins movie bleeding in from the next room.
Banena – That comic is hilarious. THE EYES. XD
That’s a scary image, Gravatarless.
“BRUH-THER FOR SAAAAALLE….”
*cut to Danny visibly weeping in the fetal position*
“The horror…the horror…why didn’t I save…some Montage…for NOW?”
The Olsen twins in that dress from that hotel movie with both of them asking, “Can Danny come out and play? “
You’re thinking of The Shining.
much thanks gravatarless :}
So, is this from a musical, or something? I’m not getting it.
My guess is that they’ve discovered pay-per-view.
I am also in the “don’t get why this is funny” camp.

I got it.
And because I forgot to mention it earlier, great job on the art. The first panel in particular looks like it could be a screen grab from the film.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable for a woman to want to look attractive and to also want to be treated like a person. Treating the two as contradictory has tones of blaming the victim.

That little “weeeeee” just makes it a LOT more funny!
So this must be in the special edition? If this is how they get updated we need to pick up these Disney movies more often.
TAKE IT OFF! WOO!
CROW!
Oh, please, Nelson…stop acting like you’re surprised by the little pervert. You programmed him, after all.
I’ve been a bad influence on him.
Oh no, the guy who was here before me and escaped using the shuttle hidden in the crate of hamdingers programmed these two. Do you have any idea how many crates of hamdingers I’ve tried to get up here to get another escape shuttle?

Good stuff, and good times.
That had to be fun.
“Honey, why are you giggling?”
“Oh, I was just thinking about this thing I read where Jasmine says that and the next scene she’s on a stripper pole and…uh oh…”
“So you’re thinking about Princess Jasmine on a stripper pole.”
“Honey, it’s not what you think! It was in this webcomic, and—!”
