Anyone know the answer to his question? Not sure I do. XD

IDW Donnie: Wait, now. I was never dating Harold. Raph's just messing with you.

IDW Raph: But you dig him.

IDW Donnie: Well yeah&mdash;no.

IDW Raph: Is that your final answer? Because I quote:



IDW Donnie: I meant scientifically!

IDW Mikey: Hey, it's cool, brah. It's the twenty-first century.

IDW Leo: Donnie, you realize they're just getting a rise out of you.

IDW Donnie: (sighs)  I know, and I'm monopolizing Q&A time. Sorry, Stan.

So you can answer his question?

IDW Donnie: No, sorry. Never been on a date.

Dude... That's...  Kinda sad.

IDW Donnie: Not particularly. It's just not something I'm desperate for right now.

What about the rest of you? Any experience with someone you love and know when to introduce them to stuff?

IDW Raph: What are we, advice columnists?

IDW Leo: Honestly, Raph, I think you're more qualified than the rest of us. Aren't you seeing Alopex?

IDW Raph: No, I'm written as seeing Alopex. The writers don't actually let us do anything with it.

IDW Donnie: Raph's got a point there. IDW is contractually forbidden from giving any of us permanent long-term character development. Raph and Alopex have a relationship in exposition only. Mikey has an on-again off-again unrequited crush on Princess Tribble and maybe something ambiguous with Slash. And neither Leo nor I have been seriously paired with anyone.

All that sounded pretty expository itself.

IDW Donnie: Welcome to our lives.

IDW Raph: Wanna ask someone in a relationship? Try the supporting characters. But not April or Casey&mdash;those two are just clueless about each other.

So that leaves... ...  ...  April's parents? Harold and Libby? ...Damn, everyone's romance in this series is one-dimensional.

IDW Donnie: Bebop and Rocksteady had some pretty solid development as a pair. They're actually kind of sweet, in a completely amoral way.

Yeah, but even if they're together, I have a feeling their idea of a date night activity is going on some killing spree. I might have to continuity-hop for a better answer.

IDW Mikey: Hey, I wanted to show Princess Tribble my manga collection as soon as I could.

Is Princess Tribble your girlfriend?

IDW Mikey: ...  Not really.
