    Awww. Cute

    1. KingMabel

      And awkward

      1. thecanvashat

        And Danny.

        1. Yotomoe

          All these words describe the same thing.

        2. GoldStarz

          A person can awe at how awkward Danny can be.

        3. usayasha

          A person can awe at how Danny cute can be.

        4. Jack Finch

          Amber’s no slouch at awkward. It gets drowned out by other things but she can cringe with the best of them.

        5. MrMercury

          a person can cute at how danny awkward can be

        6. Thor

          Two out of three ain’t bad

    2. Kyrros

      I find it cure that they’re both wearing very similar hoodies 🙂

      1. Kyrros

        definitely meant ‘cute’

        >_<

        1. Bilfred

          Yeah super cure.

  2. AHR

    It’s a blush within a blush.

    1. thecanvashat

      “You’re waiting for a ship. A ship that will take you far away. You know where you hope it will lead to, but you can’t know for sure. Yet it doesn’t matter. Tell me why?”

      1. Doctor_Who

        Nice variant on the obvious. Keeps it fresh.

        1. thecanvashat

          It’s far better than microwavable jokes, but those are cheaper, to be fair.

      2. Icalasari

        Because we have entered The Twilight Zone?

    2. GoldStarz

      I refused to make the obvious joke.

      1. thecanvashat

        I tried, and failed.

        1. GoldStarz

          You are weak, but we can rebuild you, we have the technology. We can make you better than you were. Better…stronger… funnier.

        2. thecanvashat

          Do I need to get a new Gravatar now?

        3. GoldStarz

          Only if it meets the incredibly vague criteria of “Better…stronger… funnier.”

        4. thecanvashat

          Done?

        5. Batman

          That’s a riddle, isn’t it?

          That’s obviously a riddle. I can solve this. I’m Batman.

        6. thecanvashat

          Or are you?

        7. NightmareWarden

          I know the answer to this riddle… We are ALL Batman. In here, our heart of hearts, we all know the pain that comes with Batman and thus we understand the mantle he wears. We grok you Batman, we grok you.

        8. Batman

          “Do I need to get a new Gravatar now” unscrambles to “Reading Town Regatta,” a boating race on the Thames River. You are obviously planning some heist in Berkshire, and timing it so you can escape amongst the contestants on the river.

          I’m on to you, Riddler.

        9. Drunken Nordmann

          I’m Batman and so is my wife.

        10. GrrArg42

          Go home Nordmann, you’re drunk. Everyone knows all wives are named Brian.

        11. Bill

          Wasn’t Robin the one that came up with the answers to all the riddles?

        12. Shadow12000

          Yes but Batman takes the credit for it.

        13. John

          Batman trained to become the best at taking credit for other people’s work.

        14. Batman

          BECAUSE I’M BATMAN.

        15. The Riddler

          What weighs 6 ounces, sits in a tree and is very dangerous?

        16. The Candyman

          A sparrow with heat vision?

        17. Jinxed44

          Cocaine

    3. Khantalas

      Yo dawg I heard you like awkward so we put blush in your blush so you can Dan while you Dan.

  3. Jen Aside

    “So does that mean I have to send flowers now??”

    1. GrrArg42

      Yes. Send her flowers randomly without pattern. You never want to hear “Oh flowers… what did you do?”

  4. Maxy

    I sense a freakout runaway moment.

    1. thecanvashat

      For a split-second, I saw “freakout runway moment” and thought of Danny as a fashion model in a dress.

      1. Comrade

        Well okay it’s cool I was planning on trembling in horror in the corner for the rest of my life unable to cope with the mental image anyway.

      2. Random Webcomics Junkie

        Is it bad that I really want to see Danny being a fashion model in a dress?

  5. thecanvashat

    Danny forgot the flowers, didn’t he.

    1. GoldStarz

      Yes and he’s freaking out about it! Curse you unplanned dates!

    2. Aizat

      Nothing a box of chocolates can’t fix.

      1. Yotomoe

        Danny forgot those too. He also forgot her name, and anniversary date.

        1. Aizat

          So do I…that’s why I don’t have a girlfriend in years.

        2. Nym

          That awkward moment when even when you’ve got it right you think you’ve got it wrong. Danny now has one up on Rio.

  6. Bob

    Danny’s going critical! He’s about to blow!!

    1. thecanvashat

      And then Danny bit the lower half of his face off.

      1. Yotomoe

        The less of him the better.
        ( I know, I promised I’d stop.
        I’m a liar)

        1. thecanvashat

          …Danny without his lower jaw is surprisingly disturbing.

        2. Bob

          Nonsense, I’m sure he has sexy maxilla.

        3. The Candyman

          He’s going to become Darth Malak?

  7. The Sound Defense

    I sense that Danny is about to screw this up.

    1. Doctor_Who

      Momentum can be hard to change.

      1. Yotomoe

        Danny was already in the proccess of screwing things up the second he met Amber.

  8. Bloody_Jerk

    Well, Danny, you are so stupid, you deserve this hard feelings.
    How the hell did that parents got that kinda child?

    1. begbert2

      This very strip suggests his dad was him when he (the dad) was younger, so, yeah. That.

  9. Wonder Wig

    HE… COULD… GO… ALL… THE… WAAAAAAAY

    1. Lavaticmay

      HE’S AT THE THIRTY, THE TWENTY, THE TEN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I’M SEEING!!!

      1. ninja_jesus

        Then it turns out he was running the wrong way the entire time, and ended up scoring against himself.

        1. Yotomoe

          And he still does an obnoxiousely long in-zone dance before it all sinks in.

        2. thecanvashat

          While naked.

        3. ShaggyDonahugh

          This. All of this.

        4. Lavaticmay

          And then one of his teammates slowly walks over and whispers in his ear, and Danny stops middance and slowly turns to look at the camera before making the face in the last panel.

    2. berober

      STOP RIGHT THERE. I GOTTA KNOW RIGHT NOW…

      1. Surgeville

        Let me sleep on it

        1. xKiv

          And now I’m praying for the end of times, so I can end my Dans with you.

  10. otusasio451

    Maaaaan, what’s Amazigirl gonna say when she finds out about this?

    1. Bilfred

      I think she’ll be up for it.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        WOOHOO, THREESOMES!

        1. thecanvashat

          Danny will be so disappointed when he finds out.

        2. GoldStarz

          Yeah, I mean when that threesome goes twosome and Danny’s kicked out it’ll be a major blow to him.

        3. Yotomoe

          I like to imagine it’s just amber touching herself with Amazi-girl’s glove and Danny’s too stupid to know the difference.

        4. Aizat

          I’ll be in my bunk.

  11. EvergreenFir

    THAT CHEATING PIECE OF SCUM! HOW DARE HE CHEAT ON AMAZI-GIRL

    1. Super Duper

      Ultra Car will be pissed.

      1. Doctor_Who

        Whenever that name gets filtered, I’m just gonna pronounce it as *raspberry sound* in my head.

        1. thecanvashat

          Captain Raspberry IS AMAZIGIRL!

        2. EvergreenFir

          lol

        3. Wixvhen

          Really? I thought it was Ultracar.

        4. Roborat

          No, that is her first cousin, twice removed. They look very similar though, so the confusion is understandable.

      2. vsophi

        Wait a… I guess I haven’t been keeping up to date with this stuff?

        Is that supposed to be the name of a certain vaudeville enthusiast from the other ‘verse?

        1. Ongion

          Indeed it is. Willis got a bit tired of people running that joke into the ground.

    2. Keroshino

      DANNY…
      YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT! YOU WILL PAT FOR THIS!

      1. Doctor_Who

        You’re going to make him watch the movie It’s Pat?!

        You monster! No one deserves that!

        1. xKiv

          It’s Danny …

  12. Paul

    Danny’s probably realizing the primary danger of dating a superhero: they are fully capable of beating the ever-loving shit out of you.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Especially if he has watched the movie MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND.

      1. Doctor_Who

        He hasn’t. No one has.

        1. Aizat

          Why would anyone? It sucks.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          But the shark scene…

        3. Yotomoe

          You can’t fix bad concepts with Sharks, Hollywood!

        4. thecanvashat

          Unless the concept is sharks. Or tornados. Or Octopi.

        5. Tintaglia

          Octopuses, it’s a Greek root word so the Latin sufix for multiple – i is not applicable.

          Pee’ed ants R us.

        6. The Candyman

          Well, the truly correct form is octopodes.

          I can pedant with the best of them.

        7. Andiemus

          Mixing up your hellenistic roots is like half the fun of english.

        8. Kernanator

          Lies. Sharks fix everything.

        9. Aizat

          Couldn’t beat that one movie where a shark bite off an airplane…while it is still in flight.

        10. TPman

          Even the shark scene wasn’t that good.
          Why was the shark chasing him around the apartment? Why wasn’t it just lying there gasping for breath? Why did it look like bad CGI?
          It was all questions and no answers.

        11. Kraang the Somewhat Wobbly

          …was bizarre enough to be interesting right up until whatserface opened her mouth, and then whatsizface responded. Flung shark – 1; humour – 0.

        12. Paul

          You’re living in a naive fantasy world, Doctor. …can I join you?

        13. Kernanator

          I did.

      2. Robin

        Can’t think of anything else than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Zvv4Y9ojg

    2. Aizat

      Well that and you’re pretty much a target for any villain.

      1. Ancestral Hamster

        That’s why I’m expecting him to be murdered and his body stuffed into a refrigerator.

        1. MM

          Or a pizza oven. What do you think makes those meal-discs so sumptuous?

        2. Ancestral Hamster

          Human. The other white meat.

          Hey, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ate a lot of pizza …
          *Ominous music*

      2. Batman

        I’ve lost more girlfriends that way…

        1. Aizat

          Well, Selina and Talia is still around….or did both of them kicked the bucket too?

        2. Andiemus

          If Ra’s thought that there was still any chance of Talia getting Batman he’d just Laz her back anyway.

  13. Aizat

    And Danny, now you have to choose. Amazi-Girl or Amber….oh who am I kidding?

    1. Yotomoe

      You’re right.
      Amber is way better to date than Sal.

  14. Jenny Creed

    I don’t even know if it’s late or early right now, all I know is it’s Dumbing of Age o’ clock and I’m awake to see it. Woo.

  15. Super Duper

    And all their lives go to shit in 3, 2, 1…

    1. thecanvashat

      Houston, we have lift-off, I repeat, we have lift off.

      1. NightmareWarden

        “Houston, we have a problem. The moon seems to have a problem with us as well.”

  16. saltchocolate

    Is Danny in that last panel suddenly realizing that he cannot think of his parents as college students in love?

    1. saltchocolate

      Never mind — I’m an idiot. I just realized that it’s Danny and Amber holding hands. D’oh!

      1. Bill

        No, it’s probably the first time he’s held a girl’s hand since Dorothy broke up with him.  So that awkward look might also be the realization that he is over Dorothy.

        1. saltchocolate

          I like that theory!

        2. Yotomoe

          I broke up with a girl in the 11th grade and I’m still not over it. *cries and eats a gallon of ice cream*

        3. Andiemus

          Well to be fair didn’t you just start twelfth grade?

    2. thecanvashat

      Danny just imagined his parents Joeing.

      1. saltchocolate

        This is where I was going originally. A third possibility is that he just imagined himself married to Amber!

  17. rachel

    SO MUCH BLUSHESSSS

  18. Norj

    Danny that last panel does not inspire confidence, please don’t screw this up.

    1. Kevin

      Don’t give him too hard of a time, he’s remembering he’s “cheating” on someone.

  19. TwistedTwo-Face

    He’s about to Danny this whole thing all over again.

    1. Yotomoe

      Can you blame him?
      Amber set him up for perfectly dan worthy Danning.

  20. vsophi

    FUCKING
    DANNY
    YOU DANNED IT UP AGAIN
    I GAVE YOU THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT BUT NO
    YOU’RE STILL STUPID AS FUCK
    HNNNNNGH

    …’k, done. But… *sigh*

    I’m gonna look back at yesterday’s strip to cheer myself up.

    1. Aizat

      Huh?

      1. vsophi

        I was one of those people who thought Danny knew Amber was Amazi-Girl all along, he was just deluding himself.

        Obviously, I overestimated him. Danny is still an idiot, and I’m pretty sure he always will be.

        1. Aizat

          I would like to bring up Clark Kent and Superman to the table.

        2. vsophi

          That has nothing to do with DoA, so I’m not sure why you’re bringing it up.

          Dumbing of Age is more grounded in reality than the Walkyverse, and as people have brought up time and time again, Danny spends a lot of time with both Amber and Amazi-Girl.

          Now that Amber knows Danny’s true feelings, I can see her revealing her identity to him, but I’m still mad at Danny for being dumb.

        3. thecanvashat

          So Amber doesn’t have laser eyes?

          THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH.

        4. Aizat

          Point taken but let’s say Danny have that thought in his head that maybe Amazi-Girl is Amber but he somehow has doubt about it. Keep in mind that at this point Danny knew about how Dorothy and Amber looked similar, so there is also this nagging thought that maybe Amazi-Girl and Amber may look similar but they might be two different person. Or it he could dense as a lead balloon.

        5. vsophi

          Well, he certainly has drawn comparisons between Amber and Amazi-Girl in the past, so he’s likely at least subconsciously aware that they are very similar… But goddamn, he’s just so clueless it makes me wanna scream.

        6. Kraang the Somewhat Wobbly

          From the “It shouldn’t work but it does (at least for a while)” department…
          By changing some appearance cues and body language, I’ve been able to make people who have known me for years absolutely unable to recognize me. Human brains are strongly pattern-oriented. All that needs be done is to break that pattern. It can’t work forever, though; unless you are an actor with a terrifically strong will, or are a wee bit schizophrenic.

    2. dailybrad

      Wait, by feeling guilty for having feelings for two different women? The fiend!

      1. Aizat

        Yeah, it’s not like people could have feelings for two different people, right?

      2. vsophi

        Nope, by being insufferably oblivious. I’m insulting his intelligence, not his morals.

        1. Yotomoe

          Well, in his defense, noone else has figured it out either.

        2. vsophi

          No one else hangs out with Amazi-Girl that frequently.

          The stupid thing is, Dorothy has only met Amazi-Girl once and she still figured out (probably) enough about her to be able to identify her quite easily once she gets around to it.

        3. Kraang the Somewhat Wobbly

          It’s quite simple, really. He’s been looking at Amazi-Girl’s ass the entire time. The mystery will finally start to unravel the first time Danny actually pays attention when Amber bends over.

      3. thecanvashat

        At the same time!

  21. MM

    This is the first time I’ve checked the alt-text without prompting, and I’m kind of sad I did. 🙁

    1. Sammie1053

      Please do inform us poor mobile users what said alt-text says…

      1. MM

        “The Wilcoxes can’t bring themselves to directly compliment their son, so they change the subject back to themselves.”

        1. vsophi

          whoop, ninja’d

        2. Sammie1053

          So Danny’s parents are Yotomoe?

      2. vsophi

        “the wilcoxes can’t bring themselves to directly compliment their son, so they change the subject back to themselves”

  22. Kernanator

    Be afraid, Danny. Be very afraid.

  23. Keroshino

    AND THE CROWD GOES WIIIIILD!!!!!!

  24. dailybrad

    This is not a very good position to be in for him. Deciding between two girls…. sort of.

  25. Plasma Mongoose

    Dan Wilcox it up, I just know it. 😀

  26. Bill

    “Yes, you were my roller coaster — and I’m glad I was big enough to ride.”

    1. ninja_jesus

      I was gonna make a joke about seat-stretching, but…

    2. Yotomoe

      But now you’re more like Bumper cars. Fun for a while but after about 5 minutes I’m over it.

  27. Jetstream

    Danny, your “girlfriend” is someone who refuses to share her actual identity with you. You don’t have a relationship.

    She is also sitting next to you. The mask isn’t really that clever.

    1. Aizat

      Well, most people don’t know that Oliver Queen is Green Arrow even though he’s the only dude in Star City that has that beard. So, I’m giving Danny the benefit of a doubt here.

      1. thecanvashat

        Everyone off-panel, or off-screen has that beard. NO EXCEPTIONS.

      2. Yotomoe

        True but is Oliver Queen famous? I mean wouldn’t you think that’s just Some dude?

        1. Aizat

          Well, he is the richest dude in Star City.

        2. Random832

          Yeah, he is. He’s basically DC’s version of Tony Stark.

        3. Random832

          By which I mean he’s a billionaire businessman who runs his own company, not the drinking problem etc. It occurs to me that I think DC maybe also has another guy like that, but I can’t think of who.

        4. eyss

          Elongated man?

        5. Svata

          Heh.

  28. Someone

    Oh no. Now he’s going to Dan this up by taking back everything he just said by saying, “….but I’m in love with Amazi-Girl.”

    1. Sammie1053

      Hopefully we get this instead:
      “But I’m in love wi-”
      “YOUR MEAL DISCS HAVE ARRIVED, PEASANTS!”
      And they all live happily ever after.

      1. Yotomoe

        or
        “but I’m in love with-”
        *Danny gets punched by Yotomoe*
        Everyone cheers.

        1. Aizat

          Or
          “But I’m in love with-”
          *TROMBE OVERRIDE!*

        2. Tristan B.

          “But I’m in love with-”
          “The great FAZ has arrived. If he were in this situation, the great FAZ would have had
          uch sex.

        3. Yotomoe

          Faz is also still in Dina’s room. He’s EVERYWHERE. He’s like a bad infestation.

        4. Giant Speck

          OH GOD. DINA. We’ve left her alone for so long now! 🙁

        5. TheGreatFaz

          Not alone.

        6. Spectre

          And with Faz, too!

        7. Kraang the Somewhat Wobbly

          Don’t worry. Eventually she will go all velociraptor on him.

    2. greengeekgirl

      She could fix that easily. She has the mask.. she could whip it out and put it on.

      1. nekobawt

        yeah but danny would just think amber was cosplaying as amazi-girl.

        1. Anna1090

          “You look uncannily like Amazi-Girl!”

  29. Bemmie

    Oh god, you can see him about to Danny it up any second now!

  30. Beachfox

    Danny, will it help you figure out what’s going on if we put it in terms of “Jem and the Holograms”?

    1. Nym

      Reading through comments now, I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one who immediately thought of Jem.

  31. newllend

    Danny, freaking out about cheating on his girlfriend with her other persona, it would funny as hell if amber confessed to him and he rejected her then when’s she amzi-girl she be all pissed at him and he would be like “what I do?”

    1. ninja_jesus

      I think you mean annoying and repeated-punches-to-Danny’s-face frustrating.

      1. Yotomoe

        I think I would like to see a comic of an enraged amazi-girl punching Danny repeatedly in the face. And I’m not even ashamed.

  32. Fay

    Danny, don’t screw this up. That’ll put you right back into the negatives.

  33. Bemmie

    Unable to handle the conflicting emotions Danny up and flees Gelasso’s…

    …Only to be run over by a truck just outside the door…

    …Driven by Blaine…

    1. Sammie1053

      Amber would straight-up rip Blaine in half if that happened.

    2. NightmareWarden

      Amber then crafts a makeshift weapon out of a box of (food) scraps within Galasso’s and sets out after Blaine. Armed with a Pizza Pie-shield and a Sub-Sword, Amazigirl sets off on her quest of vengeance.

  34. Batman

    This is why having a secret identity can put serious dampers on one’s social life.

  35. Yotomoe

    Danny’s Parents got tired of talking to Danny. Which is understandable. I fall asleep just reading his words.

  36. Shobo

    Mr. Wilcox, what happen to hand! Is so small, like little girl.

  37. Lancer

    Okay, so after this, Amber’s gonna propose some good old fashioned boning, then Danny goes all “but Amazi-girl” and then Amber puts on the mask, followed by the most glorious implied sex in the history of ever, right? There’s no way this story arc could end on a downer caused by the stupidity of Danny and Amber’s secrecy, right?

    1. TurtlyLooker

      … riiiiiiiight?

  38. dailybrad

    Danny’s parents are jerks, but with the arms race of shitty parents, they don’t really register much.

    That said, I am bit surprised no one has made a “jizzed in his pants” joke about the last panel. Maybe not a lot of overlap with DoA and Lonely Island fans? Dunno.

    1. Araceli

      I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that holding hands isn’t that sort of exciting for Danny, boring white bread that he is. I mean, he did have Billy all up on him in the past and there was no mention of involuntary premature actions, haha.

    2. Robin

      Represent!

      Though, I didn’t think the last panel looked like anything near a jizzface.

  39. Keroshino

    Of course Danny being “the fool he is” will screw everything up in the next comic…
    …I can feel it!

  40. Charles Phipps

    I am assuming that it’s actually very difficult to recognize Amazi-Girl. Danny is doing the right thing.

    1. dailybrad

      She disguises her voice, wears her hair differently, and carries herself differently, so it’s more than just a mask thing. She also wears looser clothing in her daily life, I think. I am not clear on if she is wearing the costume over her clothes or just undies or something. Either way, she will look fairly different, plus we’re operating on costumed heroes rules anyway.

      1. Jonathan S.

        It’s kind of like the Clark Kent thing, I think. There was a scene in the first issue of the “Blackest Night” miniseries when two members of the Justice League were at Bruce Wayne’s grave (he got better), and started talking about disguises.

        “Clark slouches, wears clothes that are two sizes too big, and raises his voice an octave.”

        1. dailybrad

          That’s true. Superman also has the benefit of being someone who is so omnipresent, seemingly, in Metropolis that a lot of people don’t likely think of him as having a secret identity at all. His being an alien is known, since he has told Lois as much with the understanding she’d report it, and a lot of people probably think he is Superman all day.

  41. Kiggy

    Amber, at the earliest chance, please tell Danny you’re Amazi-Girl.

  42. FreeRegent

    Aw, Amber, please tell him before he screws this up somehow.

  43. AI

    i figured i’d throw this out there before he either redeemed himself or did something even dumber. Over 9000 hours in ms paint etc etc. http://i.imgur.com/I46h2m1.png

    1. Kiggy

      At first I laughed, but then I wnet “Hey! That’s mean!”. :p

      1. Kiggy

        “went” T_T

    2. vsophi

      I lol’d.

  44. Jack Finch

    Oh Danny. It was nice while it lasted.

  45. Biege

    well danny, even your parents have to struggle to say nice things about you. that’s impressive, to say the least.

    also, danny, don’t worry, Amazi-girl will understand. in fact, she’ll prolly know before yo even tell her about it.

  46. Darnel

    I always marvel how folk in the comics can just whip on a strip of cloth and not be recognized by someone who has made them a study.
    Amber is OBVIOUSLY who she is,.. Same hairstyle, same body build, probably same scent,..(Sorry but people smell) Yet this guy remains Cluelesws,.. C’mon,.. his subconscious must be SCREAMING who she is.

    1. Kiggy

      I think that’s the deal with Danny: The connection between his subconscious and conscious mind is short-circuited :p

    2. John

      She wears a mask, does a voice, changes her hair, and I suspect her body language changes when she puts the mask on (probably not even deliberately). But it’s not a full-coverage mask, the voice has slipped at least once and she wasn’t even doing it when they first met, her hair is just mussed, not a wig or even really a different hairstyle, and she can’t change the shape of her face or her size and build. And scent is really hard to compartmentalize.

      Other characters have failed to identify Amazi-Girl. (Billie in particular has come up with a really stupid theory… but Billie honestly isn’t very bright.) None of them have gotten up close and personal with Amber in both her guises the way Danny has, though. (‘Cept maybe Ethan and Mike, pre-DoA… but Ethan knows, and Mike seems to know everything about everyone.) Danny should at least be noticing about now that Amber uses the same shampoo that Amazi-Girl does…

      And there’s a point where “unobservant” shades into “not really paying attention to your (girl)friend”…

    3. Bill

      A pair of glasses was enough to fool Lois Lane, and a mask was good enough for Zorro, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, and Wesley (from “The Princess Bride”). ˆAnd remember that Commissioner Gordon never tumbled to the fact that his own daughter was Batgirl.

  47. dimblecon

    this had better be leading up to her kissin’ him and him having a look of shocked realization on his face or so help me

    1. Kiggy

      My prediction:

      Danny will meet with Amber/Amazi-Girl later that night and will take of the mask.
      Danny will go “Huh? Wha? When? How?”, but before he can finish Amber gives him the warmest, tenderest, lovingest, filling-sucking kiss in the history of webcomics.

      sigh… I need a girlfriend T_T

      1. Kyrros

        Nah, he’ll feel all guilty, and confess to AG – who will in-turn, invoke the ‘superheros can’t have stable relationships without work getting in the way’ rule and strongly suggest that this ‘Amber’ girl is probably a much better match for him. He’ll begrudgingly agree.
        *Fast forward to a random strip a year or two from now after the Amber/Danny relationship is firmly established*
        Amber’s always disappearing at random times for unexplained reasons, to which Danny assumes she’s cheating on him – then follows her one night… uncovering the truth. This leads to a fair bit of discomfort, awkward glances, and hurt feelings, which may or may not be reversible in their relationship.
        (All this is assuming she’s not exposed earlier by Billie or Blaine)

  48. Steven

    Danny if Sal knew you were cheating on her with this girl who likes to cosplay as Amazi-Girl, she’d be devastated.

  49. tahrey

    So just how big of a coronary is he gonna have when she finally busts out the mask?

  50. Charles Phipps

    Maybe Danny just has very poor night vision too.

  51. CallMeIshmael

    Danny’s either about to Danny this up or somehow, undeservedly pull it off.

  52. Jimmy

    Danny thinks he’s cheating on Amazigirl by doing this. Tomorrow’s comic will be awkward to say the least. I feel bad for him.

    1. Genera Zollinger

      I was really wondering if I was the only one. Yet I expect when Amber comes clean about lying to him, and the hurt ensues, in the forums it will somehow still be all Danny’s fault.

  53. Baker

    Danny clearly likes Pina-Coladas. Fortunately for him Amazi-girl likes being costumed in the rain.

    1. saltchocolate

      Well, he’s not into yoga. But Amazi-girl is into champ-pain! (Giving it out to all the evildoers!)

  54. hof1991

    That’s Danny realizing that the carney has clicked the safety bar and the roller coaster is on its long way up to drop him into sheer terror that he will only enjoy in retrospect.

    1. Jack Finch

      Yep. That’s the “Oh God I said it. Oh God, Oh God I meant it. Omigod, omigod omigod she believed it.” face.

      1. GrrArg42

        PERFECT SUMMARY!!!

  55. someguywithakatana

    … Don’t you fuck up Danny…

  56. Kuraimizu

    Aww young love,
    Spring when a man has a Love triangle
    with the same woman of his dreams.

    1. Bill

      But in the DoA world, it’s still fall — remember, this is the weekend of the Parents’ Day football game?

  57. Shariku Onikage

    Goddammit Danny.

    Goddammit Amber.

    You’re both at fault here.

    1. Ongion

      Those are two really weird ways to spell “Willis”…

      1. Shariku Onikage

        Yeah it’s a phonetic thing.

  58. Jack Finch

    For now I’ll be happy if Danny let’s Amber have this for the rest of the day.

  59. nick

    Here’s my take on this: Danny obviously wasn’t expecting to go on a date with Amber today, but they’ve hung out enough in the past so that he can pass as her boyfriend. Everything he said was true – he just never realized it until he was “actually” (but not really) dating Amber. When he does meet up with AG, I predict that DANNY will be the one to break it off.

    1. GrrArg42

      If these were real people I can see that happening. I would also see Amber then coming clean about being AG (and Sal :p ). But there is too much material in Danny not knowing who AG is so I think he will be in the dark longer than Amber would normally do if this were not a comic. Poor Danny… Living in ignorance for our amusement.

  60. Scott

    Hope Danny figures it out on his own. Failing that, I think that AG is going to let him down very easy…

    1. Maycroft

      Figure out her secret identity or what decision he should make?

  61. wr3h

    Awkwaaaaaard

  62. MLBlue

    They both look so cute blushing, then Danny looks like hes going to Danny things up in the panel and then the alt-text made me depressed. Damnation come to you swiftly Willis and all that, blah blah.

  63. Roborat

    That last panel. It is Danny realizing who Amazi-girl is. You can disguise the hair and voice, and wear a mask, but he recognizes the grip.

    Either that or she is squeezing so hard that she is breaking bones in his hand.

    1. Corronchilejano

      This is what happens when you bet on Danny, you lose.

  64. nothri

    Yeah, no kidding, hovertext. His parents are almost as hard on Danny as the audience is. Almost.

    1. Rowen Morland

      Poor Danny, I’m sure the future will be kinder to him (nah, we know our Willis).

  65. Aisling

    Aww… Danny, if only your brain wasn’t encased in lead. xD

  66. The Paulosopher

    SO MUCH AWWWWWWWWWWW
