    but… I like your hair Amber T_T

    1. Doctor_Who

      So does Robin, it looks like a Cadbury Cream eggs is hatching Amber’s face!

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Thanks Doc, now I cannot unsee it.

        1. Lorcan Nagle

          And I want a cremé egg now, but they don’t go on sale for another 6 weeks!

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          That’s strange, I can get those thing any time of the year but they do become more plentiful during Easter.

      2. MrSirk

        Thanks. Now I can’t unsee that. -_-

    2. -Sentinel-

      If you only look at her shadow, she looks like the Head Alien.

      1. Head Alien

        Hey! How dare you compare me to her! How dare you!

    3. leadsynth

      Ditto. Amber’s hair is super cute. I prefer it!

  2. Mr k

    Just shave your head and wear a wig everything you go out as Amazi-Girl. Brilliant Idea!

    1. Jen Aside

      ponytail in a scrunchie

      also, hoodie dress

      1. gwalla

        Ponytail in a scrunchie
        I know, I know
        It’s serious

        1. ensiform

          I wish I could upvote that.

    2. Ancestral Hamster

      Solution: New super ID as Kekko Kamen. “No one has seen her face. Everyone has seen her body.”

      NSWF Warning should you google the above name.

      1. Bibulb

        I APPROVE OF THIS IDEA

        (also : hey, slipshine!)

      2. Roborat

        Hmm, I see I have an anime to watch.

      3. Plasma Mongoose

        This idea of your has merit Hamster, and as a bonus, if anyone slut-shames her, they can always be retorted with “What are you, a misogynist?”

        Also this will make Daisy’s whole year!

        1. Ancestral Hamster

          Re: Also this will make Daisy’s whole year!

          Or turn Daisy’s sexual frustration dial past 11!

      4. Jen Aside

        Not Sure We Follow warning? 😉

  3. Plasma Mongoose

    So Amber is stuck with helmet hair while AG gets the mazing sex hair.

    1. Doctor_Who

      Know how Superman always has to keep his glasses on public, because if he takes them off someone might recognize him? Amber can never have amazing sex, because then her post-coital hair would reveal her identity.

      Luckily she’s dating Danny.

      1. newllend

        Hey you guys remember when Superman had a mullet?

        1. StClair

          No. Because that never happened.

        2. gwalla

          Yeah, next he’ll try to say Supes lost his normal powers and became an enegry being for a while.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        The classic movie Superman parted his hair differently depending on whenever he was Clark or Supes.

      3. Vincent

        So you’re saying it’s just a matter of time?

      4. Dirk Strider's Splinter Hopeself

        She won’t be dating Danny for long, considering Ethan.

    2. Yotomoe

      Maybe amber can have Amazi-girl hair post-coitus.

  4. MrSirk

    Well obviously Amazi-Hair is better. It’s, dare I say Amazing!

  5. cesium133

    She could always do her hair like Amazi-Girl’s and if anyone asks, she’s just imitating Amazi-Girl. Nobody’ll figure it out.

    1. PokeyPuppy

      Ha! Beat me to it!

    2. Yotomoe

      Then she’d be a loser copycat!

    3. MrSirk

      No it’s like Superman. The hair is an intergral part of the disguise.

      1. Halloween Jack

        Just the one S-curl, though. That’s the whole disguise, not the glasses. Curl up, glasses off: “Did you get contacts, Clark?” Curl down, glasses on: “Hey, look everyone! It’s Hipster Superman!”

    4. Mr k

      Then everyone will think she’s got a crush on Amazi-Girl.

      1. cesium133

        Who doesn’t have a crush on Amazi-Girl? (Aside from Sarah, Joyce, and Ethan…)

        1. Disloyal Subject

          Sal seemed to give remarkably few fucks, and isn’t the best at lies or other subtlety.

        2. John

          Malaya?

          Though, actually, brawling in a Wal-Mart parking lot might be Malaya’s idea of a hot date.

  6. liahansen

    Heck nah, anybody can do Amazi-girl hair! I can do Amazi-girl hair. Amber hair’s cool.

    1. leadsynth

      That’s what I’m saying. Amber’s hair 4-eva

  7. Kelly

    Good job there, Danny 😀

  8. PokeyPuppy

    Amber, just have Amazi-Girl hair, and tell everyone you copied off of her.

  9. Flimsyfishy

    Amber can’t have nice things, but amazi-girl can…

    Your alter ego will be your downfall Amber.

  10. Yotomoe

    “Amazi-girl, your tits are so much better than Amber. You’re also much nicer than Amber. Just an all around better person than Amber. Fuck Amber HAHAHAHAHA”

    1. MrSirk

      Also for some reason Amber needs to wear glasses and you don’t.

      1. Nightsbridge

        Contacts, maybe.

        1. Random832

          I think there are some characters in comic books that have prescription masks.

  11. Emoroffle

    If Batman were catty.

    1. Doctor_Who

      Like this?

      1. ninja_jesus

        I thought you were gonna link this.

        1. Kamino Neko

          It is so freaking weird that every character named Catman* has that same colour scheme.

          * Of which there are three. The Batman villain/Secret Six character, the Fairly Odd Parents version of Adam West, and a golden age hero who has since fallen into the public domain.

        2. StClair

          I suspect at least one of those is a deliberate nod.

        3. Kryss LaBryn

          And see, I was expecting this.

  12. ianperiwinkle

    *casually points at boyfriend* don’t ever tell me what to do with my hair again, or I’m using it against you.

  13. Kernanator

    For those who forgot:

    http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/visiting-2/

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Thanks for the reminder. ^_^

    2. loulaughlin

      Thanks!!

  14. Dorje Sylas

    Arguably this is what Wigs as a part of the costume are for.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      It worked for 60s Batgirl, it allowed her to have short black wavy hair as Barbra and longer red hair as Batgirl.

      1. gwalla

        And Black Canary IIRC (the blonde hair is a wig)

    2. Jen Aside

      well, I kinda get Amber’s pain… it’s kinda how I regret ever publicly using my real name on the internet, ’cause now to throw off would-be stalkers, I have to change my name [which NEVER looks suspicious to employers if you do it other than when getting married]

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Unless you’re required to given them your previous name, you can always claim that you anglicised it.

        1. Jen Aside

          How do you anglicize an English name =<

          danged Americanized parents

        2. Jen Aside

          TIME FOR THAT SEX CHANGE THEN

        3. apostateCourier

          You say that like that doesn’t cause employment problems, either. Trans issues are no joke, ‘kay?

        4. Dirk Strider's Splinter Hopeself

          Yeaaaaah, the casualness that the topic of gender reassignment was brought up for a cheap joke with was a bit disconcerting.

        5. Opus the Poet

          Particularly as today is the Transgender Day Of Remembrance for those killed just for being themselves and not being what other people though they should be.

        6. Jen Aside

          IT WAS NOT ENTIRELY A JOKE =(

        7. Jen Aside

          (and by not entirely I mean pretty much I’m the reverse of Jocelyne here, this has been covered before)

          ((diff is my parents would prolly understand but I am not going to be in an “I can afford this” state for many many many years))

        8. Disloyal Subject

          You don’t. You just spoonfeed them bullshit until they give up and accept the lie.

        9. Plasma Mongoose

          @apostateCourier: If your name is already anglicized, you can always Germanise it instead.

  15. newllend

    The equivalent of this conversation is like Batman being jealous of Bruce Wayne because of his good looks and money

    1. liahansen

      More like Bruce Wayne getting jealous of Batman because he gets to wear his batsuit in public

      1. Yotomoe

        I, Billionaire Bruce Wayne, want a cowl.

      2. newllend

        And the batmobile.

  16. winter

    Oh, god, Amber’s issues from prom include her haircut too.

  17. M-M

    Throwaway mention of prom… now to connect the dots to Ethan… and watch things get damn interesting.

    1. John

      Oh no! Danny might figure out that… Amber went to prom with her boyfriend!

      1. winter

        And Danny proves his memory isn’t complete shit in this strip! It’s only a matter of time before he remembers Amber said her ex was into dudes. Just waiting for the connection to be made…

        1. MeHael

          *tick tock tick tock tick tock*
          *steeples fingers menacingly*

          Yes…soon his realization will be complete…mwahahahaha!

        2. John

          Yeah, this is Danny we’re talking about. He never actually figured out that the two girls that he was spending all of his waking hours with were one and the same, despite plentiful hints. He only knows because the answer literally fell into his lap.

          He’ll probably figure out that Ethan is gay the same way: look down at his lap, and, whoa, there’s Ethan!

        3. Dirk Strider's Splinter Hopeself

          Oh, Ethan’s gonna be in his lap, all right.

  18. Maveric1984

    Well, at least you can wear that hairstyle under your clothing.

    Slipshine subscribers know what I’m talking about.

    1. David M Willis

      Not when she’s Amber.

      1. Maveric1984

        So Amber has the helmet head on her downstairs parts, but Amazigirl has the Amazi-hairstyle. Hah, that’s awesome

        1. David M Willis

          In the most recent Slipshine you can watch it switch back and forth.

        2. Maveric1984

          I just went back and reread MoNM. I think you just gave away something about the new one you’ve been teasing on tumblr…

  19. JessWitt

    Music match: Sex Hair by Mouse Rat.

  20. John

    Wait, did the hovertext change? I could’ve sworn that when I first checked the comic, it was something about being easier to draw, too, and now it’s, “amazi-girl’s hair is so great leslie borrowed it for her wedding”.

    1. Kelly

      yes, it was about being easier to draw for me as well.

    2. David M Willis

      yup

      1. Roborat

        Looks like Willis is coming down with a variant of Plasma syndrome.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Pray tell what exactly is Plasma syndrome?

        2. Dirk Strider's Splinter Hopeself

          Obsessive changing of something (For you, it’s gravatars. For Willis, it appears to be title text.)

  21. Rob

    Did anybody else notice Amber’s EPIC AWESOME T SHIRT!? I might be late to the party here if it’s showed up in previous comics, but it definitely made my day.

    1. Disloyal Subject

      We have. It is indeed nifty, though I’d reserve the term ‘awesome’ for actual busom hugs. Mmm….
      Kinda missing my Joe default gravvy now.

  22. ChocolateRat

    Loving how the expressions are drawn here.

    Also, Amber should get more hugs, she’s so unlucky.

  23. shmidny

    thats a big pile of nope. Amber hair is top hair

  24. Romanticide

    I actually like Amber’s hairstyle better…

  25. Arkadi

    Always practical Amber.

  26. Bibulb

    “I read that article in the newspaper, and thought ‘Gee, I sure would love the wind-blown look like her.’.”

    There ya go, Amber, ready-made excuse.

    1. Kamino Neko

      The thing is, Amber and Amazi-Girl look alike (being the same person and all), so if she wore her hair like Amazi-Girl, it would be a lot harder to claim not to be the same person to anyone who got any kind of look at her.

  27. TheZachariah

    Somebody had to scroll down and look at the picture of Amazi-Girl in “Mask Or No Mask?” to remember exactly how it’s different. Probably this guy.

  28. Shaunock

    The worst PART… Get it? Part?!
    Hair puns are the best.

    1. ShaggyDonahugh

      Part of me wants to be angry at you. Part of me wants to high five you….
      Welp, time to make an alter ego and beat the shit out of people!

      1. Bagge

        Or maybe an alter ego that highfives people. That would be kinda awesome. “No fear, citizen. I’m here to tell you that was cool. High five!”

    2. Willoughby Chase

      That disappeared round the hair pun bend.

    3. chisci

      See yourself out, lest you want to see yourself locked away in hair pun prison, a fringe establishment of pun police that rarely gets to bang losers up -getting you will be the highlight of their day!

    4. Plasma Mongoose

      I will high-five you as supporting puns is a good thing in my books.

      1. Dirk Strider's Splinter Hopeself

        Yeah, PUNS are no JOKE.

  29. Dustin

    Oh God, I’m Danny.

    1. Roborat

      Really? Looks more like Ethan to me.

  30. nothri

    Oh man. If this starts a trend we’re going to watch Danny realize how badly he Danned up various things and we’re going to be here for like two years…

  31. Bagge

    If you have a secret identity that let you do stuff you normally can’t allow yourself you limit yourself and prevent you from actually crossing those borders yourself. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?

    So, I wonder what else Amaziegirl has denied Amber. I would have guessed relationship and/or sex – but for once Dannie has Dannied thingst just right and helped her cross that border.

    1. David M Willis

      hm

      1. ThePhail

        ouch. I fear I know where this is going.
        … Is two letters a record for eliciting a “Damn you, Willis”?

      2. Bagge

        “Hm” what? WHAT??? “Hm” good, “Hm” bad?

        Daaaamn you, Willis!!!!

        1. Bagge

          Without having read the slipshine I suppose the question I should ask is – was “without mask” ever an option?

          Or even more to the point – does Amber in fact have a relationship with Danny or is it just Amazigirl?

        2. Opus the Poet

          Whaddya mean, they’re having a relationship right there on the page in front of you.

        3. Bagge

          Yeah but… but… I suppose I just have the “Damned you Willies”-ities, wondering how things will go spectacularly wrong next.

          But there are these persistent hints that Amber and Amaziegirl have different kinds of relationship with Danny, and I don’t think anyone told him.

          For example:
          http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-5/01-when-somebody-loved-me/clock/

        4. Heavensrun

          Danny has already openly established himself to several people as Amazi-girl’s boyfriend, and as a result, he can’t be Amber’s boyfriend openly without raising suspicions. Sure, -they- both know that Amber and AG are the same person, but Danny’s boasting (if you want to call it that) means no public displays of affection for Amber.

  32. zee

    And then there was that time Danny spend like twenty minutes comparing Amazi-girl and Ambers breasts. That’s not gonna come back to haunt him… right?

  33. Deanatay

    Ah, blackmail fodder. Keeping unhappy couples together since, forever.

  34. Valmore

    Well it’s not like Clark Kent made many changes in his hair when he turned into Superman. Nor did Prince Adam’s hair get more fabulous when he changed to He-Man. Basically, just change or take off a piece of your wardrobe and nobody knows. The hair is not the giveaway.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      It depends on which version of Superman you read/watched, in the 80s movies, Superman had the dominant looking hair while Clark had the wimpier hairstyle.

      1. Dirk Strider's Splinter Hopeself

        “A REAL ALPHA EXHIBITS HIS DOMINANCE OF THE SOCIAL SCENE THROUGH THE FOLLICILES EXUDING THROUGH HIS HEAD AS WELL AS THE SEXINESS EXUDING OUT HIS BEING” -Some PUA asshole, twisting “left-wing propoganda” into “useful advice”

  35. Vorkon

    I’m with the “WTF is Amber on about” contingent. Amber’s hair is WAY better. Amber has a particularly round face, and as such a hairstyle which frames it suits her especially well, and her current hairstyle basically does that perfectly.

    The Amazi-Girl hair isn’t BAD, mind you, but the Amber hair does it better. I can certainly understand why Amber would be annoyed that she couldn’t use that hairstyle if she wanted to, but I can’t fathom why she would actually want to.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Amazi-Hair takes a lot less time and effort.

  36. Regalli

    I THOUGHT it looked familiar, but I was wondering if Leslie had stolen it from Amber’s wedding.

    Turns out they both stole it from alternate!Amber.

  37. Vangeln

    Amazi-girl’s mask is better than yours.

  38. Mr. Morningstar

    at least he’s honest.

  39. ninja_jesus

    Do you think the reason Danny likes Amazi-Girl’s hair better is because he associates it with Amber’s superheroine side, which feeds into his “dating a superheroine” fantasy?

    Also, is this a foreshadowing to a future hairstyle change for Amber? If so, I look forward to it. 😀

  40. DJFlare84

    I’d hug that bosom. *rimshot?*

  41. Marc in MN

    I was expecting him to say, “Really?… HAIR is the worst thing about the whole secret identity thing?” 😉

  42. OmegaDez

    “From prom”

    Does that mean young Amber in DoA has early Shortpacked! Amber hair?
    Oh wait, I don’t remember what it looked like in the flashbacks…

  43. Ziplap

    Honestly, I like Amber’s hair better than Amazi-Girl’s hair. I like Amber better than Amazi-Girl.

  44. Ashley

    I sincerely hope that this is one of those cases where Amber will let herself have the hair and realize no one’s paying THAT much attention.

  45. The Magus

    Amber could always have seen it in the picture and decided to try her own hair like that?
