My girl… was just like me…
My girl… was just like meeeee…
And right at this instant, she’s TERRIFIED that she’s going to be “just like her dad,” because she thoroughly enjoyed laying that SOB out! No matter how much he deserved it, she’s going to start torturing herself over her actions. Which sucks for her, and I hope she gets over it someday!

Ironically her fear of becoming like her father is a good indicator that she won’t. Provided she maintains that fear, so I guess you shouldn’t tell her what I just said or she may cease to fear it. Curse you metacognition!
That is the point, I know when I have done things like that (maybe not a sock in someones jaw, but other things) I have felt peace during the moment, but later I look back and feel a disconnect and the fact I could do something scares me.
Worst part of getting out of an abusive relationship is realizing for years later that you’ve had to change in order to handle it… and not all those changes are for the best
I thought Danny was purposefully being ignorant? So to keep the idea of dating a super hero as opposed to a girl who dresses up in a yellow jumpsuit to fight crime
das-g
Apart from superpowers (which Danny probably recognized Amazi-Girl doesn’t, have any), what’s the difference?
Kintrex
One is cool and mysterious while the other is indicative of potential mental illness?
to be fair she doesn’t lie to him about anything and would have dated him in her normal attire if he hadn’t pointed out that he ‘obviously’ burnt that bridge

Yes Father. I shall become a Mazi.
Paul
Well… this is an absolutely heartrending strip.
Bran
At first I read “heartrending ship” which disturbed me greatly.
But the words you ACTUALLY wrote – I agree with them.
nothri
To be fair, you are correct in that this would also be a heartrending ship. I would have to rend the heart right out of anyone who shipped it.
Paul
You wouldn’t have had the chance, because I’m pretty sure I would have combusted if I had typed that. Even as a typo.
Jake
No one wants to say it? No one? Fine.
She’d hit that.
Felix Kütt
Punch it with all her might..?
I’m not entirely sure if I got it right as to what you were trying to do here…
Volkai
She’d hit that in the FAAAAAACE!
And in fact she did.
saltchocolate
Yes — this tears me to shreds.

This. Poor kid. =(
Tomb
Look at that smile it actually scares me a little.
jeffepp
It scares her even more.

In mother Russia the smile scares YOU!

Tachyon
On the one hand, I want to say “good for her”.
On the other hand, this can be good for no one.
Fay
Well, I’d smile if /I/ got to punch Blaine in the jaw.
On the other hand, this brings up obvious issues for Amber. Hopefully, her DoA arc won’t turn sour.

Why did I not get that was what this strip was going for until I read this?
Plasma Mongoose
I’m guessing that Amber is worried that she enjoys being violent even if it was her lousy father?
Luzahn
Most likely; she was complaining about his violent genes earlier after all.
Dean
She’s worried that she takes after her father.
Yotomoe
True. She just takes advantage of her boyfriend’s stupidity to continue dating him in disguise.

Geminia999
Is this your first dialogueless strip?
David Willis
I know there are a few others.
merbrat
I love the bookend images, with the sudden closeup realization. Nicely done!
Bob
Nah, there was at least that one where Joyce is trying to not get hair on her feet.
John
And the one with Billie and Ruth’s door, where Willis did break the 180 Rule and it was more confusing than a couple days ago when he didn’t.
Bob
And the one where Dina got kidnapped.
Jen Aside
Technically, this one is [a strip, I mean]: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-2/01-pajama-jeans/christmas/

I don’t know about Amber, but I sure as hell would take delight in punching Blaine.

It’s a slippery slope.

It isn’t suffering if they enjoy it.
Tachyon
Many an artist would disagree. Art is suffering! 😀

… end result, we have therefore determined that the dark side is artistic.

No, no, no – they learn to enjoy it only afterwards(you know, once they’re used to the pain)!
