    Billie knows LOTS of words!

    =|

    1. David Herbert

      Like… nerd and… nerdette!

  2. Seerow

    Poor Billie, just wants to be as cool as Jonah Jamison.

    1. DeWeese07

      Billie: “That Amazi-girl is a MENACE TO SOCIETY!”

      1. Aizat

        Billie:”I want pictures of Amazi-Girl”

        1. XMD

          With a chest window. For a nickel.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          And if she doesn’t have one, we will photoshop one on her.

        3. Rikushadow5

          Billie: “Everytime somebody says her name I want a nickel”

        4. Rowen Morland

          From their mother.

        5. IamTheMasterPlan

          Billie: “PARKER!!”

    2. CommentSpawn

      “Amazi-girl: Threat or Menace?”

    3. Undrave

      Daisy is Jamison.

      “I want pictures of Amazi-Girl! Hot sweaty battle damage pictures!”

      1. Daibhid C

        Daisy wants to be Lois Lane.

        1. calendarman27

          Does that make Dorothy Jimmy Olsen?

        2. memjay

          Surely Dorothy is Bizarro? Or Ben Reilly, I lost track of superhero analogies.

    4. Chris

      DAMMIT I NEED PICTURES OF SPIDER CAR

      1. Chris

        SPIDERCAR IS A MENACE

  3. addude

    You think as a Journalist Billie would notice Walky going all weird when Dorothy is around but no

    1. dchorror

      This Walky seems like the kind of guy who won’t generally stop with the smart ass-isms. Billie might thank Dorothy for getting him to be quiet for a few minutes.

    2. taekwondogirl

      She noticed one time before…

    3. Osaru Sensei

      It took me 2 read-throughs to notice Walky.

      LOL.

      1. taekwondogirl

        This is awesome with the avatar in context.

        1. Osaru Sensei

          True dat.

          (I want my Dina back… :()

    4. Shifty

      You’re assuming she gives a damn about what he does when its not in direct relation to her.

  4. MM

    Walky, c’mon. Pull it together already. Either your face is going to freeze like that or you’re going to leave permanent indentations in your lip. Maybe both.

    1. MM

      Sorry, “your FAAAAAACE.” My bad.

      1. iSaidCandleja-

        How did he make it all the way to college without any of his peers noticing that FAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          By threatening to break their FEMURS perhaps?

        2. Jackson

          These memes are so babies.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Very shakeable babies.

        4. Zanosuke_Kurosaki

          One too far. Just hit “dude, not funny” territory.

        5. Plasma Mongoose

          I guess you won’t be wanting to hear any dead baby jokes then.

        6. iggy_rock

          The correct phrase is “Babies McIntyre” I believe 🙂

  5. NF

    Walky in panel 2 slays me!

  6. Aizat

    The look in Walky’s face in panel 2 is hilarious.

  7. Gnoka

    I’m guessing Walky will be asking Billie all about her nerdy reporter friend.

  8. Mr. Cat

    What if Billie named superheroes? Spider-Man=Bug-Nerd! Iron Man=Robot Nerd!

    1. DeWeese07

      batman = orphan nerd!

      1. gangler

        Superman will be Reporter Nerd! Billie loves making the superheroes uncomfortable by giving them names that reference their secret identities.

        1. dchorror

          Water Geek!
          Busty Nerdette!
          Tentacle Nerd!
          Captain Nerdica!
          Magic Nerd!
          Gun Nerd!
          Shocking Nerd!
          Angry Nerd!
          Nerd Side!
          Blind Nerd!
          Metal Nerd!

          Bonus points if you can guess who all the above are.

        2. Makkabee

          Hmm, “Busty Nerdette.” So that would be a super-heroine with a large chest. That narrows it down to… well, all of them.

          (I’m guessing you mean Wonder Woman, though with the recent discussion of chest windows there are some other possibilities — possiBILLIEties? — there as well.)

        3. iSaidCandleja-

          Wonder Woman? No, there is one super hero known exclusively for her chest. Powergirl’s window is famous.

        4. dchorror

          Wonder Woman wasn’t included. Greek Nerd! sounded stupid.

        5. dchorror

          Was going to include a list of super heroines that aren’t busty, but then it occurred to me that all but two of them have a spider theme.

        6. nothri

          “Wonder Woman wasn’t included. Greek Nerd! sounded stupid.”

          Bondage Nerd?

        7. HiEv

          Amazon Nerd, of course.

          Or “Lasso Nerd”, if you wanted something less positive-sounding than “Amazon”.

        8. Matt

          I’ll take a shot…

          Water Geek! = Aquaman
          Busty Nerdette! = Power Girl
          Tentacle Nerd! = Doctor Octopus?
          Captain Nerdica! = Captain America
          Magic Nerd! = Doctor Strange
          Gun Nerd! = Deadpool? Or Punisher…
          Shocking Nerd! = Electro? Static? Thor?
          Angry Nerd! = Hulk
          Nerd Side! = Darkseid
          Blind Nerd! = Daredevil
          Metal Nerd! = Iron Man

        9. dchorror

          All but two.

          Shocking Nerd! = Black Lightning(Static’s close)
          Metal Nerd! = Cyborg
          And the Punisher for Gun Nerd

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Robin = The Geek Wonder

        1. Daibhid C

          The one superhero Billie doesn’t consider to be a nerd is Cheerleadra from El Goonish Shive.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          But everyone else in that webcomic is a nerd or a furry.

        3. MacGravicharzard

          Dude, nice refrenz! Shade Tail would probably be Nerd of Furry!

        4. MacGravatar

          http://egscomics.com/?date=2011-04-27

          What would his name be? black cloaked nerd?

        5. QueenThomas

          Noah would be One-Eyed Nerd. (o_W)

        6. MacGravatar

          … That is so right…

        7. Plasma Mongoose

          The LARP Avenger?

        8. Henry

          Wait! Wait! Can Billie be Cheerleadra?!

        9. Plasma Mongoose

          Only if there is a EGS crossover planned.

        10. MM

          *snerk*

          Booster Gold used to be a pro athlete, so maybe he’d get a pass, too. (Though the time traveling and the robot and the friendship with Blue Beetle probably cancel it out.)

        11. Henry

          Leave Mister Dresden’s car out of this. 😛

  9. Wackd

    Billie isn’t one-note, she’s two-note. She’s got a superiority complex and she’s alcoholic. Thus far, that seems to be all there is to her. Hopefully, with time, Billie will become an entire concert.

    Of course, Dorothy probably doesn’t know about the alcoholism yet, so her calling her “one-note” is justified.

    1. dchorror

      You forgot anger problems. That’s three notes.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        No, Four Notes, she can spell words with her body.

    2. Shifty

      Yeah, but in terms of how she addresses everyone, she is distinctly one note.

  10. Ritser Brughel

    Billie isn’t one note. She can call people nerds in 47 different languages.

    1. Rikushadow5

      Psh. That’s nuthin’. I know this guy that can do it in over 3 million forms of communication.

      1. das-g

        What a nerd!

    2. Shifty

      Technically that’s still all one note. After all, if you play a song in different languages, the musical notes and meaning behind them are still the same. 😛

  11. Teowulf

    Love Walky’s expression. He’s just begging for a cat fight.

    1. taekwondogirl

      I think the idea of Billie in that context would not be appetizing to Walky. Dorothy with someone else though…

  12. Stephen

    I am not one note, shut your FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

  13. Aizat

    Dorothy’s going to direct Billie to one of the people who saw Amazi-Girl? Why I got the feeling that the person in question would be Danny?

    1. lord of dance

      uhh… cuz she said she would?

    2. iSaidCandleja-

      Because that’s exactly what Dorothy said she would be doing when she spoke to Danny?

    3. Wackd

      Maybe because just two comics ago Dorothy mentioned that she was sending Danny “a big-breasted half-Asian girl to interview [him] about Amazi-Girl”?

      1. Wackd

        Wow. DOUBLE-ninja’d.

        1. Digidestined of Trust (Tim)

          Triple ninja’d! Where’s Ninja Rick when you need him?!?

        2. Wackd

          In a three-way duel with the Ninja-Style Dancer and Kung Tai Ted.

        3. Bill M.

          Last I saw Ninja-Style Dancer and Kung Tai Ted, they were headed off to do a dance-off. Does Ninja Rick dance?

        4. Aizat

          Ninja Style Dancer was taken by The Entity.

  14. gangler

    I’d totally take it on myself to do that as a reporter regardless of the superheroe’s wishes. I’d also choose names that were only vaguely thematically appropriate and potentially ill fitting.

    Captain America and Bucky are now Guns and Ammo.
    Batman and Robin shall be referred to as Darky McBlackerson and the Crimson Fruitcake.
    Superman? Nay, I say we call him “Better-than-you Guy”

    Silver Surfer shall simply answer to AnthroSpaceCore.

    1. dchorror

      But Captain America is a title. He is an officer in the U.S. Army.

      And that Batman one might be seen as racist by some people. I’m sure I’ve heard the Robin one before though, same with Superman.

      1. gangler

        Really? We’re expecting people to call racism for referring to a man’s wardrobe coloration and chosen theme as a creature of the night now? I don’t even know how to respond to that, but I’ll certainly apologize if I’ve offended anyone. Not looking to make an issue out of it. Meant it to be far more harmless and humorous than that.

        1. dchorror

          I didn’t say it was offensive, I was saying it could really be taken that way.

          Besides, it’s a mouthful.

        2. gangler

          I’d certainly be worried about confusion if Bruce wasn’t white. Is that less well known than I’m giving it credit for?

        3. dchorror

          I’d hope it’s not well known in universe. I honestly don’t think it’d matter to the readers of the comic. Cause really, if you saw a news article talking about this new hero Darky McBlackerson, wouldn’t you think something was wrong there?

        4. gangler

          Ah, I get it. You’re talking about readers of the imaginary newspaper in which this name would be used. Yeah, ok. That’s legit. I hadn’t actually thought it through to such an extent. There’s a reason none of these articles were published 😉

          For that matter, Batman doesn’t seem like the type with a sense of humor (well at least not in most recent renditions). I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to poke fun at him on principle. Captain America also kind of scares me XD.

          I totally thought we were talking about other commenters here.

    2. Ridureyu

      Wolverine is now Petunia.

      1. dchorror

        Why?

        Why not That Furry Guy?

      2. Aizat

        His name might be Petunia but HE STILL BADASS!

      3. creativerealms

        Claw nerd.

    3. Rikushadow5

      SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

      (Not to be confused with antro Face Core)

  15. Sonzilber

    Walky’s face is is priceless

    1. Henry

      His FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEEE?!

      1. Sonzilber

        Yes his faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  16. taekwondogirl

    Oh Walky, you’re adorable.

  17. Pat

    Billie, you should be more grateful to people who save you from supervillains. It’s just good manners.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      “Grateful? Why would I be grateful, I could’ve taken on that Red Menace myself.”

      1. Aizat

        The Red Menace? Who, Ruth? She wants to take your FEMURS and use it as a back-scratcher.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          “Of cause I could take her, she’s a NERRRRRD and I’m a cheerleader”

        2. Aizat

          Yes, a nerd that just thrown you on your first day and took your cheerleader outfit and removing one letter just to spite you.

        3. Plagus

          And then Billie realised that when everyone’s a Nerd… …No-one is.

        4. Aizat

          And then Billie is a NERD! Dundundun!

        5. Plasma Mongoose

          In the old days, just wearing glasses automatically made you a NERD!

        6. Kernanator

          “No Billie, you are the nerds.”

        7. Plasma Mongoose

          “That ginger nerd just got lucky is all!”

  18. Ridureyu

    NERRRRRRRDS!

    Man, Billie’s glad she’s so much better off than them.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Cos being popular and all, she has way more friends than all these geeks and nerds …err nevermind…

      1. dchorror

        I’ve never seen being popular correlate to having friends. It was more of a being noticed as opposed to being liked.

        1. Aizat

          I think Plasma Mongoose is being sarcastic.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Correct! I was speaking to some extent IC for Billie.

        3. dchorror

          I was well aware. Sometimes it’s more fun to ignore that instinct to respond with all the intellectual knowledge.

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          AH!

        5. CWR

          The intellectual knowledge – IN THE BAG! NOW!! ALL OF IT!!!

        6. dchorror

          Dude, all of it? That bags just not big enough.

  19. Plasma Mongoose

    NERRRRRRRRRRRRD!

  20. Janette

    When it comes to her view of people different then her…yeah, one note work.

  21. Undrave

    No your FAAAACE is one note!

    Nerd!

  22. Aizat

    It could be me but Dorothy face in panel 3 looks cute.

  23. Locke

    Walky, no stare at the boobies. I know it can be difficult at times, man, but you just have to snap out of the trance, or lest you’ll turn to stone. Or something. Mostly you’ll just get mace sprayed in your face.

    Seriously, though, Walky’s unintentional placement of his “deer-in-headlights” gaze is HILARIOUS.

    1. dchorror

      How do we know it’s not intentional?

    2. Aizat

      Who said that Walky is staring at Dorothy’s boobs?

      1. gangler

        Really looks more like he’s staring at Dorothy’s hair to me.

    3. Blob Marley

      Is a man not entitled to the goofy look on his FAAAAAAAACE?

      NO, says Billie! He’s a nerd!
      NO, says Dorothy! He’s weird!
      NO, says Mike! Your mom made that FAAACE on his penis for a nickel!

      I chose something different. Something impossible. I chose… Walky!

      1. Bill M.

        Oh great, I’m now picturing DoA characters as BioShock characters.

  24. dchorror

    Walky’s so fun to make demots of.

    http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/Amielo/DOAwalky.jpg

    1. Kamino Neko

      Do a Walky?

      I think he’d like Dorothy to do a Walky…

  25. Aizat

    Wild Dorothy appeared! Walky froze up!

  26. Kernanator

    I think Billie is trying to hide something by making fun of nerds…
    She secretly has Nerd-Lust!

    1. dchorror

      Is it perverse?

      1. G.S.Mercs

        It’s ALWAYS perverse

        1. Kernanator

          Also, your Joe Gravatar makes your comment ridiculously appropriate.

      2. Kernanator

        It means she lusts after nerds. She is so going to want a threesome with Danny and Amber when she meets them.

        NERDLUST!

    2. Undrave

      Billie is actually into Transformers! She’s the secret nerd this go around, not Joe!

      1. Kernanator

        That works, too.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        NAh I think that Sailor Moon would be more of her sort of Guilty Secret.

  27. Shifty

    Glad Billie didn’t get Lois Lane’s job in the new DC Relaunch. “LOOK UP IN THE SKY! IT’S A BIRD! IT’S A PLANE! ITS THE FLYING NERD!” just would’t have the same ring to it…

    1. das-g

      But ‘bird’ and ‘nerd’ rhyme! You can’t beat that.

      1. Jackson

        IT’S A NERD! IT’S A PAIN! IT’S…AMAZI-DORK!

  28. Blob Marley

    Walky/Amazi-Girl. Shipping it now. Three hundred episodes (and two and a half hours) later, when it happens, remember Blob Marley totally called it.

  29. luke

    Didn’t even realise Walky was in the strip until I glanced at the tags >_<

    1. Spiffster13

      His Dorothy Face made it worth looking at the Tags I bet.

  30. BriGuy

    The nerdette is my penis.

  31. Glooble

    Did Dorothy just replace Billie in the header?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Actually it happened a couple of days ago.

  32. Strephon

    Personally, I like Billie’s expression (and posture) of visionary determination in the last panel.

  33. The Aussie Bloke

    I think Billie missed out on a very important lesson in high school. That lesson being “Be nice to nerds. Chances are, you’ll end up working for one.”

  34. Plasma Mongoose

    I think I will ship Billie and Ogre(Revenge of the Nerds) now.

    http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a304/Meglicious/ogre03.jpg

  35. Random Webcomics Junkie

    So… will the banner be changing regularly to indicate which characters are currently in centre stage?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      It wouldn’t be too hard for him to do, the odds are that he already has the templates for various characters ready to use with the background for the banner, so if he decides to change it, it will only take a couple of minutes.

  36. CaptainPatch

    Dorothy in panel 3 is probably my favorite picture of her. Great work!

  37. Aisling

    I didnt know billie was asian til a page or two ago…
