Line 46:
The series generally portrays [[Joma|Mack's and Jodie's relationship]] in a positive light, though Jodie frequently places a higher priority on her own commitments than on maintaining the relationship. Mack is often disappointed when he attempts to get time together with Jodie but is rebuffed. His frustration is clear to anyone who pays attention to what he says. The implication is made in "[[My Night at Daria's]]" is that the couple is sexually active, though we don't know to what degree. Jodie promises to tell Daria all about it "once my parents are dead."
Mack is clearly and specifically portrayed as coming from a lower socioeconomic class than Jodie, though the details are not known. (Being in a lower socioeconomic class than Jodie Landon is not difficult.) In ''[[Is It College Yet?]]'', he states that he can get into [[Vance University]] only if he gets a scholarship, which he does. In ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'' Mack drives an ice-cream truck for a summer job so he can pay off debts, while Jodie works at a congressman's office, takes golf lessons, etc.
===Relationship with Kevin===
Mack is constantly shown to be around Kevin, and the two both serve on the [[Lawndale Lions]] team. Kevin's intense stupidity and inability to get Mack's name right irritate him considerably. Despite that, Mack is shown spending time around Kevin when he wouldn't be required to: "[[I Don't]]" has him hanging around Kevin outside of school, he consoles Kevin when the lad is down and helps get him back on the team in "[[The F Word]]". Kevin also spends more time around Mack (on screen) than other Lions members. The two appear to be, against all odds, actual friends.
In their 'future ego' in [[Is It College Yet?]], the two were shown to be running an ice-cream company together, "Bro & QB". While this was meant as a gag, it has been taken literally in several fanfics.
