What in the Frank Herberty hell? You not only got the first comment on this strip, but used it to point out how you already got on today’s strip a week ago on a previous strip?
As for Amber, Amber is so so so down with garbage fires she even was the one taking Dorothy’s pics on the first place so, she’s kind of the first woman she flashed.
IDK, it might work. I really want it to tbh X’DD
ZombieKyrik
I hope it goes that way; a trio of main characters dating would be fascinating. Also, I would absolutely pay to see the Slipshine.
Dina wanted to get an internship at Jurassic Park, but there’s a waiting list so the Department of 90s Sci-Fi movies put her in the Men in Black until a slot becomes available.
Amber isn’t openly dressing as Amazi-Girl, she just got placed in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
She seems to quote it quite frequently for something she hates. She probably loves it (at least deep down), but feels compelled to point out all of its many inaccuracies. After all, the film was made with love as a monument to her passion, but nothing says love like gushing about the inaccuracies to those you love. After all when it comes to something you care about, the truth is always more exciting than fiction (even when it turns your twelve-foot killer lizards into sharp toes turkeys).
She shouldn’t hate the original one, because it did a lot to help scientists understand how dinosaurs actually moved, and helped put us on the right track to learn even more later down the line. its dated, but it did the best it could with what we had at the time.
The sequels, made after we learned more about them, and they still clung to outdated ideas? those she’d despise.
Thag Simmons
Also Jurassic Park is a masterpiece and the sequels aren’t*
bridgebrain
Eh, Jurassic world solved that with the quote
“Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn’t ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.”
Thag Simmons
I don’t think anybody who nitpicks those movies about accuracy cares about that excuse.
eh, whatever
Yeah. Using frog DNA instead of bird or at least crocodile is just inexcusable stupidity.
zepangolynn
At the time the first movie was made, we did not know birds are avian dinosaurs. Dinosaur knowledge has advanced aggressively since that movie, in part because of the movie. What bothered me so much at the time was calling Deinonychus “Velociraptor” and creating legions of confidently incorrect casual dinosaur fans. Velociraptors were awesome vicious murder turkeys, dang it.
Lilith Rose
Actually, frogs, at the time the movie was made, were some of the easiest animals to genetically engineer. So it wasn’t about accuracy of genome, it was about ease of access. Speaking as someone who has actually worked in bio-research, it honestly made perfect since at that point (just, you know, not a lot of other points.)
Freemage
Funny thing, the original novel had a similar line–there’s a point where one of hte scientists reflects on how they tinkered with the DNA (behind the rich dude’s back, even) in order for them to be more marketable, rather than realistic. Specifically, he notes that they’ve been made more active and aggressive, because megafauna just lazing around all day isn’t going to get much repeat business.
Chubseus
Sorry to correct you, but the lines in the original Jurassic Park novel are the opposite. Dr. Wu suggests to Hammond that they could slow the dinosaurs down, he’s worried that people aren’t used to seeing animals that big move that fast, that people might think they look like sped up film. He suggests making more docile dinosaurs that are easier to handle, and fit in more with what the average person expects.
Wow, that is a good catch. How did you remember you people keep remembering this dozen year old strips? I never thought my memory was a problem, but now I am starting to worry.
Leorale
Eh, don’t worry.
I don’t know about why Thag Simmons remembered that comic, but, I read Willis comics before going to sleep and upon waking up (which is, incidentally, a great way to memorize things), I have always hyperfocused on reading, and DoA often hits my strongest interests (comics, art, religions, psychology, neurodivergence).
I have an actively terrible memory for everything else, which I’ve been to doctors about, so, a strong memory isn’t always correlated with encyclopedic knowledge of DoA.
You aren’t the weirdo, for not remembering a comic that you read like twelve years ago.
Thag Simmons
I only vaguely remembered the punchline, I just know how to scroll through the archives efficiently. Will say the tags help a lot, make it much easier to find specific pages like this than with other webcomics
I also probably have brain problems

I, too, have brain problems. And this year, my insurance magically decided to cover generic Vyvanse. ADHD management vs. insomnia: which will win, in this, the first week of a new drug?

Good news! (re: the insurance coverage)
May it last for decades onward!
Davus
It’s memory of the collective, so the odds are that one person will remember, even if each individual has a low probabillity of doing so.
Also, I haven’t been reading this comic for a dozen years, and instead did an archive trawl, which has surprisingly good retention rates (maybe something to do with hyperfocus) (at least to remember old comics, which I have not yet demonstrated in the comments, but find that I am able to do so in other contexts.)
Actually, this comic is rather interesting. My wife is physically fairly similar to Amber (curvy but muscular). Meanwhile, my wife enjoys when I wear suits or other masculine-looking clothes. So I feel like this particular comic speaks to both of our interests.
Oh, this is how Amber gets wrapped into Dorothy/Walky, isn’t it? Maybe a Superman/Clark Kent situation where Walky wants Amber but Dorothy wants Amazi-Girl.
Speaking of Superman and Clark, anyone else wondering if Dina’s voice drops an octave when she’s wearing the suit?
or would that, per established precedent, require a different colored word balloon?

This can only go well; not like Dorothy is going to suddenly realized Amber/Amazi-Girl is hot, and then be even more confused.
Doctor_Who
Which is doubly hilarious because, as has been noted, Amber looks like a more thicc Dorothy to begin with.
Walky would NOT have any objections to an arrangement. Amazi-Girl might.

I’m still paying for the last one (and any future ones). Support your local porn creators.
ZombieKyrik
I’m unemployed, so I can’t afford any subscription services.
ZombieKyrik
Otherwise I would absolutely be supporting my favorite content creators; both SFW creators, and NSFW creators.
Casi
easy fix: become a porn creator so you can be paid to consume from other porn creators!
Editor’s note: content creation is hard work. NSFW even more so. Proceed with caution
Steamweed
A Slipshine threesome (Amber, A-G, and Dorothy) might possibly could be potentially have a chance of interesting me.
(and walky, too)
Bleuryder
Amber, Amazi-Girl and Dorothy is a ship I didn’t know I needed but here we are.

Some of the ‘thiccness’ is def muscle at this point lol

Dorothy herself has noted that.

It’s not what you think.

Amber isn’t openly dressing as Amazi-Girl, she just got placed in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Doesn’t she Hate Jurassic Park because of how inaccurate it is?

Well, the alternatives were We’re Back: a Dinosaur Story and Theodore Rex.
