Wow, Joyce, really? That’s possibly the least appropriate of all possible random avatars the system could have given me. Apart from maybe some alternate universe black cyclops version.

@Zippy: Who is that supposed to be in your grava? Joyci La Forge?
A lesbian version of J. Jonah Jameson. Well, Jameson in reverse, I guess. Maybe. On the one hand–completely disregarding superhero news. On the other hand, just printing what sells.
Oh my god I haven’t even thought of that. Of course she’d be wanting that job. And that’s why she is so successful at it. And they have the same head shape. And no-one has yet seen them together.

Talking of which. Could Dorothy and Amber be the same person?
Mark the use of the words “companion” and “swap”. Obviously Dorothy is Amber’s Tyleresque alter-ego. At some point during the next chapter she’ll be found trying to take a picture of Amazi-girl while wearing the costume herself.
Ask yourself where was the last place you saw the eye – try to retrace your steps. I find it helps to put frequently lost items in the same place every day.
Dr. Alex Horrible
Yeah, faaaces should be kept in one place, which should form a habit, and help you remember where you left it.
So rather than put effort into investigating a rumor that has been confirmed and seen by multiple sources, she instead is only interested in a sex video. Where did Daisy learn journalism from? TMZ or the National Enquirer?
It’s not exactly hearsay if you have an entire floor of girls who can corroborate a sighting of Amazi-Girl, and considering the surplus of smart phones, probably got video-phone evidence of Billie being saved.
Look. Dorothy is obviously gay. Anybody can see that.
Now Ethan is obviously straight. At least we can assume so until the author says otherwise.
Dr. Alex Horrible
You’re not well-read on the continuity of the Walkyverse are you?
Windy
The amount of sarcasm and counter-sarcasm here is burning my mind! Just to be on the safe side: The author already said Ethan was gay. Now if you’ll excuse me I need some burn cream.

As an aside, have you ever heard the 60s(?) song “Windy”? It’s pretty hilarious:
“Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow?
Everyone knows it’s WINDY!”

Well you see, when one pair of scissors loves another pair of scissors…
Dr. Alex Horrible
You get sharper scissors, and a more effective cut through paper, or what-have-you.
Plasma Mongoose
They rub over each others blades, causing random chip marks to appear, thus damaging them both, resulting in throwiung away said scissors.

HA! Scissoring. I love it.

It’s not like you haven’t been dropping hints left and right Daisy.

I’m not an expert, but I don’t think that’s how scissoring works.
Darth Shadow
I lost it at the scissors. Good show, Walky.

Daisy’s a Scissor Sister? ;p

Still awesome.

Simmons is cast to play the main character’s teacher in “Avatar: The Legend of Korra” which is an animated show. I’m pretty excited about this.

She’ll never guess that Dorothy is actually Amazi-Girl! 😛

Consider the only panel where they are seen together.

It’s gonna be amazingly tragic.

“that amazigirl is a menace, now get me some photos of her! and if possible make them involve scissoring in some fashion!”
Undrave
I think it could get screwier, she could become a composite of Lois Lane and JJ!
“Get me pictures of Amazi-Girl! Hot sweaty pictures with battle damaged costume!”
taekwondogirl
Except JJJ seems almost asexual and is more concerned with a scoop on a masked vigilante. So they’re kind of opposites. :p
Kittfox
Ah that last panel just makes it <3

super hard to figure out the punchline for this one

Something to do with arts and crafts, maybe? Yeah, that’s probably it.
Dr. Alex Horrible
Totally.

Scissoring is a slang term for a particular form of lesbian sexual activity.

Lies. It’s definitely macaroni sculptures.

Now, if she was a vigilesbian, then Daisy might be interested.

vigilesbian- one who performs unauthorized and illegal lesbian acts on alleged homophobes.

As straight as Ethan. And Ultracar.

Aww… Daisy is just denying her superheroine fetish, especially if Amzi-Girl’s costume is based on Batman & Robin.
