I don't think they're even dating, she's only been mentioned like twice....
"Hey! Don't do that here. You'll mess up my bedspread."
Rolling his eyes, Joe sat on the window sill and started sawing.
"Thank you, Joe."
"You're welcome, Martha Stewart."

Okay- so he's essentially the girl-crazy Archie Andrews analog that he was in the Casefiles. (Only with Iola alive in this continuity- but he's apparently not tied down to her or anything.)

Are you kidding? ;D With as many missions as they have, how can he? ???

Yeah, pretty much. Except, for some unknown reason, most girls in the UB continuity seem to ignore Joe.

Yeah that stinks, I mean Frank's had like 4 girlfriends and nobody's even looked twice at my Joe yet!!! :o

Wow- that's definitely a switch from the Casefiles and Digests then. (Well, more so Casefiles really- Joe was definitely going out with Iola in the Digests, but he seems to be the most outgoing and friendly, especially towards girls, even in that series.)

But even stupider than that is that Frank doesn't know how to act around girls. He's painfully shy and makes a fool out of himself but the girls don't seem to notice. This has been downplayed in more recent books, though, and was almost completely ignored in the graphic novels.

Hmm- that characterization for Frank and Joe reminds me of Cody and Zack on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and its spinoff, The Suite Life on Deck.

Why do you think that is?

Maybe he comes off as a showy jerk to them.

Or maybe it's just bad writing and trying too hard to make Frank and Joe "different".

I think it's also suppose to be funny.

It has the capacity to be funny, but things can be overdone.

"supposed to be" being the phrase, here.
