    It’s Jinx week, innit?

    *punch*

    1. HMRC4EVR

      and I thought I was going to be the first with a Kim Possible reference!

      Bah!

      Well Played Jen. Well Played.

      1. Kamino Neko

        … Bloody kids today.

        1. Dox

          Sorry…cant take that seriously with a ‘My little ponies” Gravatar

        2. arjay2813

          the imagery of bloody kids is made even moar entertaining with the serious or angry looking pony in the picture. and i invisioned this http://www.rhymes-with-witch.com/rww09152010.shtml only with less frolicking, and angry, yelling ponies in the stands

      2. Slipgate

        I’m not sure if that was meant as Kim Possible. If it had been, I think *punch* would’ve instead been “You owe me a soda!”

        (Aside: Anyone imagine what they’ll tell each other they owe each other in the future, INSTEAD of sodas? :P)

        1. TheBenenator

          Their butts/femurs/FAAAAACEs?

    2. Digidestined of Trust (Tim)

      Jinkies! Oh wait, wrong tooniverse.

  2. arjay2813

    dorothy might just be the only one out of the 3 who doesn’t know amazi-girl’s true identity to figure it out

    1. Berenzen

      No, danny only suspects that amazi-girls true identity is ultracar

    2. David Herbert

      Joe probably won’t, he’s too busy getting laid.

      1. dchorror

        The mask is probably the one thing he isn’t trying to get off her.

    3. JK9000

      I don’t see how Amber is suppose to know, either.

    4. Chiatroll

      Why would they know? Ronald Reagan hasn’t even shown up in this world yet except when he dons his amazi-girl costume.

      1. ryan

        yeah, but ronnie was the PRESIDENT. he’s very recognizable. i honestly don’t see how the entire student body hasn’t figured it out yet.

    5. Freon

      C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!

    6. arjay2813

      after looking at all those, i’m just glad nobody said Faz is amazi-girl (well, an alt-reality femFaz)

      1. XMD

        Are you like a vegan or something? You didn’t even consider Trans Faz in your diet.

        1. Zagrede

          *rimshot*

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Clearly you missed some of my comments over the last few days. ^_^

        1. Laurel Raven

          I noticed…unfortunately.

          Can’t…get…image…out…of…head!

  3. Seerow

    How does Amber know the masked vigilante’s name? Maybe she knows something!

    1. Aizat

      Well, she could be Amazi-Girl but that’s insane, right?

      1. Stephen

        Of course it’s insane, everybody knows that Dorothy is Amazi-Girl, duh.

      2. Cha

        Amber is Ultra-Car, remember?

        1. Seerow

          So Dorothy (Amazi-Girl) rides Amber (Ultra-Car) frequently?

        2. 1Samildanach

          Like a Mini-Con.

        3. wnderjif

          POWER-LINX!

        4. milk experiment

          Don’t cross the Willis fandom meme-streams! It would be bad.

        5. dchorror

          How bad are we talking?

        6. Vabolo

          ET: The Video Game bad.

        7. LaurelRaven

          Try to imagine all memes as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in the internet exploding at the speed of light.

        8. nothri

          Suddenly I want the Cheese to show up and ask “Are you a God?”

        9. CWR

          BAD bad.

        10. Seerow

          but so good

        11. Random Webcomics Junkie

          Seerow: somehow that avatar makes that post so creepy.

  4. Mkvenner

    smooth. 🙂

  5. Jackson

    Hmm. Ultra-Car’s been laying low lately.

  6. MacaroniPterodactyl

    I wish my clone had a secret superhero identity 🙁

    1. Baf

      I wish my secret superhero identity had a clone.

      1. Undrave

        You mean like Spider-man?!

      2. ryan

        You mean like Ben Reilly?

        1. dchorror

          Did the two of you plan that?

        2. Jack

          Bet you 5 bucks they did.

        3. ryan

          unplanned, but i saw the opportunity.

  7. Aizat

    Wait, Amber are you hiding something? Something to do with Amazi-Girl, perhaps?

    1. ProtonCon

      Well when you’re the butler of a superhero you gotta play it coy. Citation: Alfred

      1. Aizat

        She’s Amazi-Girl butler? I never thought of that.

        1. ryan

          yup, amber is secretly amazi-girl’s butler, alfred.

        2. Lesharo

          Sad to say that I could probably name a few 50-60 year old Englishmen who would pose as co-eds to pick up college boys.

  8. Someone

    Excellent. It finally feels like there’s a storyline taking center stage instead of random snippets of everyone’s day to day (Which we’ve only seen four days worth)

    1. taekwondogirl

      I’m not certain if you’re referring to the comic as a whole or just the recent strips. Because there have definitely been storylines already that have “finished” and others that have started and are being developed.

  9. T Campbell

    Wow, that went a lot better than I was expecting.

    1. MM

      Amazi-Girl’s awesome powers of distraction save the day! Or date, possibly.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Her powers of distraction would improve drastically if she were to add a chest window to her costume.

    2. gangler

      It ain’t over yet 😉

  10. Rognik

    I guess she’s unnamed no longer!

  11. Ridureyu

    So Danny is Amazi-Girl?

    1. Aizat

      No, Danny could not be Amazi-Girl. Amazi-Girl saved him, remember?

      1. Ridureyu

        He staged it with a robot duplicate, like all the good superheroes do.

        Or it was just Foggy Nelson standing in. One or the other.

        1. goatman95111

          Rather than a robot, don’t you mean Burt Ward?

      2. Henry

        We’ve been through this. Danny can’t be Amazi-Girl because Ultra-Car is Amazi-Girl. Amber is Spider-Car.

    2. lawzlo

      Maybe Joe is Amazi-Girl. Or better yet, maybe Li’l Joe is Amazi-Girl!

      1. lawzlo

        Li’l Joe is Amazi-Girl, and that’s why you couldn’t get a good look at him in that video! Amazi-Girl was hiding inside of that woman to preserve his secret identity!

        1. ryan

          no no no no no

          li’l joe is stoolie the amazi-stool.

        2. CWR

          Well, he DOES get sat on quite a bit…

          PLAUSIBLE.

  12. meanderling

    Don’t they already (kinda, sorta?) know each other from http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/04-the-bechdel-test/swap/ this strip?

    1. Cha

      They didn’t actually introduce themselves to each other.

  13. Wackd

    We’re going to end up with a version of the Spider-Man Clone Wars where it turns out Dorothy is Amazi-Girl, aren’t we?

    Maybe she broke up with Danny to protect her secret identity.

    1. Wackd

      Oh, and just to save you all the trouble:

      “But Ultra-Car looks nothing like Dorothy! How could they be clones?”

      1. Henry

        That’s where Robin comes in. She finds a way while on Cadbury Creme Egg cereal.

  14. Dahlia

    D: Well I’m glad I was WRONG, but…. *scratches head* is this any better? o.e;

    1. beeftony

      Look, I hate to ask this question, but all you seem to have are negative comments, so… why are you reading this again?

      1. Dahlia

        D//x; it does seem that way.

        I like the story and the art (which is rare because its usually one or the other) and the characters…but some of them just shouldn’t mesh romantically, different universe or not s:

        I knew Danny was going to arrive with Amber when Dorothy was interviewing Joe, and I knew her reaction would be “: / so quick to get over me, huh?” …I’m glad the subject got changed, but I think we can all agree we’d rather not have her secret identity be discovered so soon >//<;

  15. Plasma Mongoose

    We know that Amber isn’t Amazi-Girl as she isn’t immune to criticism.

    I suspect that Faz must therefore be Amazi-Girl.

    1. Daeva

      No, if that were the case, the instant Faz donned the Amazi-garb, he’d instantly be overcome with the urge to procreate with himself.

      1. lawzlo

        I thought Faz had that urge anyways?

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          He has been known to give a mop names and mount them, so that part wouldn’t change.

        2. ryan

          so the mop is stoolie?

        3. Henry

          We’ve been through this. Because there will also be a Fazette in this universe, Faz will be able to procreate with himself/herself.

    2. Jackson

      In my book, the longer we go without seeing Faz, the better. He makes me cringe and I am enjoying his absence.

      Not that he’s not funny sometimes. But he is only sometimes funny, whereas he is always weird and creepy.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        What? No love for the Faz? Impossible! 😛

  16. Bekah

    So Amber and Dorothy have met before.

  17. IamTheMasterPlan

    Did anyone notice that the site banner changed to have Joe instead of Sarah? When did that happen?

    1. Darden

      Author decided to put the 3 most voted characters on the banner. Happened a few strips ago.

      1. IamTheMasterPlan

        Well then I better come up with something entertaining to say about this strip so that this comment thread does not make me look absolutely idiotic!

        …I love how horrified Danny looks at having his new crush and his ex-girlfriend meet.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          But you cannot really call yourself a member of the DoA community until you posted a few idiotic comments, usually in the form of memes.

          FAAAAAAACE

        2. Jetstream

          I’ve found that you can join the community by studiously avoiding those memes just as easily as giving in to them.

        3. Lesharo

          Exactly, instead try putting them into comment threads in other webcomics, just to see who from that comic will follow along.

        4. dchorror

          And start looking for names that you recognize from other comics comment threads.

        5. Henry

          With your penis. For a nickel. >:D

    2. Eri

      Actually, I did not notice that.

      Mind blown.

  18. Ancestral Hamster

    How is it that Dorothy can recognize Joe’s “Lil Joe?”

    1. licoricepencil

      Maybe he Joed her.

      1. Ancestral Hamster

        That’s kinda what I’m thinking … “Methinks the lady doth protest too much.”

        @Daeva: Re: “Accident”. And there’s that too. Joe seems like the kind of guy who would walk through the house after a shower without a towel waving his “Lil Joe” yelling “Woohoo!”

    2. Daeva

      She and Danny dated for a pretty substantial amount of time, and Joe is Danny’s best friend…

      …given Joe’s antics, I’m sure Dorothy got a few glimpses of “Lil Joe” here and there by accident. Whether or not those times were really accidents on Joe’s part, weeeeellllll…

      1. dchorror

        But why would it have been enough to recognize it? You’d imagine most people would look away.

  19. Daeva

    Alright, alright, I’ve got it all figured out. Danny is Amazi-girl, using the guise of a female to make his secret identity harder to trace!

    Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But Daeva, Amazi-Girl SAVED Danny in the strip they met, how could he be saved by himself?”

    A valid question, but that’s where my other theory comes into play. Amber is actually…a WereDanny!

    1. lord of dance

      so… danny bit amber so that he could save himself to protect his identity on the off chance that someone suspected him of being a cross-dressing super hero?

      hes like a fractactical genius!

    2. ryan

      this is a solid theory. the only question i have is, how do you know that the amazi-girl identity is supposed to be female?

      1. Lesharo

        While the long hair and boobs may apply to either gender I suppose, it’s generally accepted that the Girl in Amazi-Girl implies femininity.

        1. Henry

          Unless it’s Faz.

        2. Ancestral Hamster

          But that’s why it’s so clever! Really, it is a male character cross-dressing as a female superhero to better protect his secret identity. So Amazi-Girl is really Joe wearing a cunningly-engineered exo-skeleton to disguise his masulinity and to allow his to express his oft-denied feminine side!

  20. TemplarKnight

    Guys.

    I think. . .I think Amber is Amazi-Girl.

    1. shoeboxjeddy

      Amber wears glasses. Amazi-Girl doesn’t. Your theory is ridiculous.

    2. ryan

      preposterous. they look nothing alike. but i heard amber wrote an amazi-girl sighting app.

      1. Henry

        So people can find Ultra-Car when he drives people into the Amazon and leaves them there?

        1. Amazo

          Joe has not built Ultra-Car in this universe. Logically, Joe is Amazi-Girl. And… and Danny is Joe.

          …

          Think about it.

        2. Henry

          Mind. Blown.

  21. Plasma Mongoose

    Joe built Amazi-Girl and he used Dotty as a template.

    1. Aslee

      Good Lord, yes!!! And he made her brunette so no one would think it really was Dotty. His first thought when seeing Amber was: ‘Oh Crap’, not ‘Creepy’.

      1. dchorror

        And he used Danny’s personality as a base to program her.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          And Spider-Car will later become his new super-hero project.

        2. Zem

          It makes sense, they are both immune to rejection.

  22. NF

    “politically-adjacent”

    Heh.

  23. Zem

    We should start putting name tags on those two or something. I have no idea who is talking in each panel.

    1. Lesharo

      I know! I can never tell which one is Joe and which one is Danny, either.

      1. Zem

        I was talking about Amber and Danny, obviously.

        Why was Amber dating Dorothy, again?

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          To provide the readers with some yuri fanservice naturally. 😛

        2. Zem

          Clone shipping. It’s the new “in” thing.

  24. Brasca1

    Dan doesn’t know Amber was Amazi-Girl that night, but I wonder if Amber recognizes the boy she saved was Dan.

    1. dchorror

      Why would she? Ultra-car is Amazi-girl, not Amber.

  25. Liberal1337

    Dude, everyone knows that Galasso is amazi girl

  26. milk experiment

    Two guesses on how this will go: (1) Danny gushes about how amazing Amazi-Girl is, and Amber struggles not to blush or (2) Danny gushes but describes Amazi-Girl as a 6-foot buxom amazon, while Amber struggles not to punch him.

  27. DaniellePhantom

    And so the plot thickens.

  28. Plasma Mongoose

    I just noticed that in the first panel, Amber asks “So who is my alleged clone now” suggesting that there have been clones of her around before…. mhmmmmmmm very interesting indeed!

  29. Al the Mighty

    Zaph and Rose are still missing in this continuity…

    1. Al the Mighty

      I forgot to mention in my comment, that Joe’s eyebrows were blown by the clone revelation and landed in Danny’s faaaaacee!!
