Mack is in a curious position in the pantheon of ''Daria'' characters in that he seems to be without fault, or at least lacking major drawbacks as a male in a female-dominated story universe. In ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]],'' Jodie bemoans Mack's cash-flow issues, but that appears to be the extent of his flaws. This characterization is sometimes referred to as "Saint Mack." One extreme example of a "Saint Mack" is "[[The Thirteenth Man]]," by [[The Angst Guy]]. A less extreme instance appears in [[Bob Marley]]'s "[[You Don't Know Mack]]." |

Debate has arisen on a number of occasion over the issue of why Mack dates Jodie. Is it because they are among the very few black students at [[Lawndale High]]? Couldn't they find anyone else to date? This is the late 1990s in the series, after all. The few true-blue shippers left in ''Daria'' fandom have taken pains to hook Mack up with other characters: [[Jane Lane]] (a popular one), [[Brittany Taylor]] (also popular, though she did irritate him in the series), and [[Daria Morgendorffer]] (a more difficult mix). |
