    BOOBHAT

    1. Regalli

      Not quite as convenient as the condom cap, but much squishier.

    2. Wonder Wig

      Boobhat is the best for survivor automobile and motorcycle crashes.

    3. Thor

      A Real Man™ would stand erect for days if it meant getting SkullBoob®.

      1. AckAckAck

        Actually if you stand erect for days you need to check it to your local doctor immediately….

        1. Bill M.

          Why would I do that? The doctor’s office kills my boner. My boner exists for days by choice not by medical condition.

      FIRST COMMENT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! VERY FIRST THING REMARKED UPON!

      The SECOND best form of headwear.

      1. AckAckAck

        Ok I’ll bite, what is THE best headwear ever?

        1. HK-A6A7

          I’m pretty sure we are looking at it.

        2. Kernanator

          YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR!

    6. mancuso

      Alas, Mr. Goatee Graffiti still got a better deal, what with all of the Amazi-Package in his FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.

    7. AckAckAck

      Well, I’m an ass man myself so I prefer ASSHA…. nevermind.

  2. Yotomoe

    Lucky Danny. He’s in an Amazi-Vice.

  3. Plasma Mongoose

    If you tighten the bottom nut enough, it might just stay upright anyway.

    1. Doctor_Who

      That’s what she sai-

      Actually that sounds too painful to be what she said.

    2. Wonder Wig

      Was that S&M advice or road sign repair?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        YES!

      2. Lukkai

        I don’t think that I want to know.

    3. Resne

      Usually when tightening and bottom nuts are involved it’s a Saturday night.

      1. Lukkai

        Considering some of the pants I’ve seen guys wear on Saturday nights…

        No seriously: How do they get their junk in there? I’ve got trouble with the trousers of my old army uniform and some of these are even less spacious down there!

  4. Raibean

    Basically sums up my life

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      You have boobs resting on your head recently? LUCKY!

      1. Yotomoe

        No. Raibean is just an upside down Dead End sign.

        1. Raoullefere

          A Live Beginning?

  5. Yotomoe

    “Many people drove off the road today, perplexed by the sign ‘DNE DAED’.”

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Oddly enough, I learnt how to read up-side-down English in school.

        HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?

        WITCH! SHE’S A WITCH I TELL YOU!

        1. Wack'd

          But does she weigh the same as a duck?

        2. horerczy

          I think Scott is a guy … so he’s a WIZARD!!!!! A WIZARD DID IT!

        3. Josh

          You’re a wizard Scotty.

        4. AckAckAck

          Gave a whole new meaning for the phrase “Beam me up Scotty!”

          What you wrote? (“If you can read this you must be a linguist.” Am not, by the way, but still had no trouble.)
          Or what do you mean?

          (Sorry for the late answer. Been sick.)

          ANOTHER WITCH!! PREPARE THE TORCHES!

        12. Leonou

          And remember, the one burning the most witches is to be the new king !

        13. Nerdman

          Or queen. This is an equal-opportunist monarchy.

        14. Roborat

          Burning witches is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical pyrolysis ceremony

        18. Lukkai

          Thanks! I was trying to find that one in my bookmarks when I noticed that I only had it on my old computer, not on the current one.

  6. GoogerGeiger

    Amber sure is doing a good job at maintaining her Amazi-girl voice throughout all of this.

    1. Doctor_Who

      It always amused me to think that Batman was doing the voice even when he was surprised or injured.

      “I am the nigh-” BLAM! “Ow! Sonuvabongo, even with kevlar on that stings like a mother!“

      1. Doctor_Who

        I see my second set of bold tags vanished, and yet didn’t take effect. Odd.

        1. horerczy

          They got lost in the TARDIS.

      2. tyren22

        TAS forever left me with the impression that the Batman voice WAS his real voice, because even in private and NOT in costume, his voice would get deeper when he was talking about serious things.

    2. TheStranger

      Maybe…maybe the Amazi-Girl voice is the ‘real’ voice and the Amber voice is the facade.

      1. AckAckAck

        Maybe… maybe this DOA world is just an imagination of dying young Amber after she got shot in that robbery. In this world Amber is a superhero and have a nice boyfriend. She’s strong and happy and……

        1. Felix Kütt

          damn you!! learn to use spoiler tags will you!!! D:<<

    3. Darth Cariss

      In The Dark Knight movie Batman talks to Lucius (Morgan Freeman) in his Batman voice while in costume even though Lucius knows he is Bruce Wayne.

      I think the theory is that you just get used to talking that way every time you’re in costume and it becomes difficult to stop doing it.

      1. AckAckAck

        Or maybe he just want to avoid possible surveillance camera and recording device planted by the enemies.

      2. Roborat

        I always assumed it was some feature built into the suit. That way he doesn’t have to worry about remembering to do it.

  7. Robbie C

    Amazi-girl is getting her buxom all over Danny.

    PS: What is the meaning of the hover text?

    1. Count Dracula

      Flip over your monitor and read it.

      1. Robbie C

        Now I feel silly for googling it.

    2. Cholma

      It’s upside down, just like the sign!

    3. bob

      Read it upside-down. And then be underwhelmed by what it says.

    4. Kas

      I believe the hover text is supposed to look like the phrase “dead end” upside down.

  8. John

    Danny would probably be steadier if he had a spine.

    1. Yotomoe

      Are any kind of muscle.

    2. Doctor_Who

      Beat me to it.

      1. Aras Pabedinskas

        Some personality might help, too.

        1. Leonou

          Maybe add a range of facial expressions ?

        2. someguywithakatana

          Danny has a plethora of facial expressions! There’s that one he makes when he’s whining… Um… Shit…

        3. Rowen Morland

          Well, he could always float her on his good intentions.

        4. Roborat

          So is that what you call it? I have heard many pet names, but that is a new one.

  9. Yotomoe

    Danny needs to stand closer to the pole, perhaps to use the pole to hold him up while he holds her up.

    1. timemonkey

      Or at least do a little dance on it to make her feel better.

      1. begbert2

        I imagine that pole dances are a lot less entertaining if you’re trying to sit on the shoulders of the person doing the dancing.

        1. N0083rP00F

          Well the Mazurek does involve a lot of movement but is quite lively.

    2. Tom T.

      Maybe it would help if he faced the other way while holding her up.

  10. hmrc4evr

    Signs and Portents of things to come?

  11. Ragnal

    No, really guys, that’s fine, I think anyone with a brain can read “DEAD END” upside down.

    *Nope, I’m serious, it can’t be that impossible to do*

    1. Robbie C

      …I couldn’t. 🙁

      (See above.)

  12. Leonou

    I can almost hear the sound of two evil engineering students laughing maniacally in the distance.

    Next strip, AG will swear revenge on her newfound nemesis and she will spend the next few weeks hunting them !

  13. ridtom

    How long can Amazi-Girl keep up that voice? Does she gargle gravel every few minutes?

    1. Yotomoe

      Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

      1. Josh

        Quick Danny! My voice is going! Give me your gravel!

        1. AckAckAck

          Go on! the camera is rolling!

          Camera-man, superhero that always appear when in your most unfortunate moment or sexual event!

  14. Robbie C

    Sorry I’m everywhere over this comic right now, but is that a new DoA banner at the top I’m seeing?

    1. John

      There’ve been three, four new ones in the rotation in the last week or so. Amazi-Girl on the rooftop, Danny and Amber on the bridge, and a group shot focused on Joyce, that I can recall offhand.

  15. wandering-dreamer

    Funny enough the ad I got with this strip was about arrest records being made public. XD

  16. Wonder Wig

    I suppose that sign looks proper if you were in an airplane coming straight down onto that area.

    1. Yotomoe

      Or if you walk on your hands everywhere.

      1. AckAckAck

        Or if you’re Derpy.

  17. Psycho

    IF ONE IS TRULY A MAN, HE DOES NOT FALTER WHEN A WOMAN’S BREASTS ARE ON HIS HEAD!!!

    1. Raiser

      Best avatar for statement?
      Best avatar for statement.

  18. Kernanator

    …Close enough!

  19. Aras Pabedinskas

    Who knows, maybe the sign will catch more attention being upside down. They might actually get more people attending to the sign then before. Because it is hard to drive and turn your head upside down.

  20. Brian Lynch

    I just searched for how many times the word ‘boob’ showed up in these 42 comments, and it’s only four. I think we can do better.

    1. Leonou

      Are you talking about the boobs on his fAAAAAAAAAce ?

      1. tyren22

        No, the ones on his HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD but actually nowhere near his FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.

        1. Lukkai

          HER BOOBS ARE ON HIS HEEEEEAAAAD!

          Since we already brought batman into the discussion further up.

    2. bunivasal

      As a librarian, I feel it’s my duty to remind you to include synonyms in a search.

      BOOBS: see also
      Breasts, mammaries, topcurves, amazi-tits, male gaze tractor beams, and snuzzlers.

      1. Charlie Spencer

        You missed ta-tas, hooties, gazongas, and my personal favorite, sweater kittens.

        1. begbert2

          I’ve heard that as sweater puppies. Maybe it depends on whether the speaker is a cat person.

        2. Roborat

          Or if the boobage has claws?

        3. xKiv

          http://www.spaff.com/poesy/boobs.html
          Because you missed most of 99 words for boobs.

      2. Lukkai

        Am I allowed to bring in German ones as well?

  21. skillions

    the more you set up these adorable couples the more i’m terrified of when you inevitably start smashing them apart

    1. someguywithakatana

      probably with each other.

  22. Chill

    Know we know why the Decepticon Dead End is so depressed.

    He came across this sign.

  23. Berb

    Bet the police will come and mistake them for thieves

  24. Kiggy

    Boobhat!
    Next
    Boobfaceplant!

  25. Breeze

    The more I look at the first panel, the more Danny looks like Joyce.

    I don’t know what this says about me.

    1. Kernanator

      It means that you need to go to bed.

      1. Breeze

        You know, I figured that, but almost every comment I make on her ends with “I need to get more sleep”. I wanted to mix it up.

        1. Breeze

          *here even

          Good to know now I’m making suggestive/strange typos and it’s not even 10PM yet.

  26. Robert

    Is that “Dead End” sign supposed to be a symbolic allegory for Dan and Amazigirl’s progress in this strip? Could it be romantically related like “This relationship is going nowhere fast.” Or does it have something to do with putting this sign back where it belongs i.e. “This hatchet job is going nowhere fast” Or is the dead end sign more meant to be used as a literal device like “This street is going nowhere fast.”

    1. Crimson Doom

      Or it could just be that it was a Dead End sign. 😛

      1. Heavensrun

        Sometimes a cigar is just a phallus you use to sex up an intern.

        Wait, what was I talking about again?

        1. AckAckAck

          The Magna Charta.

  27. Zababcd

    I’ve put together next week’s comic.

    1. Zababcd

      I mean tomorrow’s.

      1. begbert2

        Shouldn’t that go one for about twelve more panels? Ending with it inexplicably right side up immediately followed by the signpost falling over, I mean.

        1. Zababcd

          But that would be inexplicable, and I cannot allow that. The laws of the physical universe have so far been observed in this webcomic. As far as I can recall.

  28. Kerin

    …Wait. If she can’t put the sign up herself, how the hell did she take it down in the first place?

    1. David

      if only she had needed to climb up on some other guy’s shoulders to take it down in the first place, this would have all made sense

      1. Charlie Spencer

        Yeah, my first thought was, “Waitaminute, didn’t she take that down by herself?”

        1. David

          nobody actually reads this comic

        2. Narf

          It’s pretty astounding what goes unnoticed, sometimes. I’m not saying that I’m Captain Observant or anything – I mean, occasionally I read the comments and I go “GOD, how did I not notice that already?!” But other times, I read the comments and my reaction is more akin to yours. That was only a few strips ago!!

  29. Ben

    This looks like a job for… Amazi-stool!

    I can’t believe nobody has said this yet.

  30. Wack'd

    I love how she just yanked it off the first time, and now it turns out hey! There are actually screws holding the sign up, and not just, I dunno, velcro or something.

    1. horerczy

      She undid it while sitting on the shoulders of one of the vandals.

      1. Josh

        Turns out vandals are resistant to her super-boob powers.

    2. tyren22

      Did you forget about the super-closeup panel of her undoing one of the nuts with a wrench she conveniently happened to have??

    3. John

      The guy she was using for a ladder before was a vertebrate.

      1. Uncle Rylon

        Burn!

  31. Jimmy

    Boobs on head. That is all.

  32. AckAckAck

    Joe: “Hey Danny, I didn’t see you around last night. Where did you go?”

    Danny: “Oh, I’m with Amazi-Girl, screwing some loose nuts.”

    Joe: “………….. Well, good for you then!”

    1. Lukkai

      Also: “Polishing her sign” (“Wiping”? “Cleaning”?)

      At the very least “She did mount me.”

  33. Gargamel

    Ah a Super Hero defeated by it’s oldest foe: the laws of physics

  34. Pedro Rhian

    Superman did it – you cannot go back in time by flying very fast against the time zones (even if you do it very fast). John McClane fights on the wing of a taxi-ing airplane (the fans on the jet turbines should have sucked him in instantly) and he blows up the petrol tank of the aircraft by lighting a trail of petrol streaming from the same aircraft (the fire shouldn’t have been able to go upstream.

    1. Lukkai

      Actually it can go upstream. But it will be so slow at it, that anything moving faster than about good walking speed will usually get away. Which a starting plane actually does, if memory serves me right.

  35. Tomas

    I’m suddenly reminded of Quantum & Woody.

  36. Gordon Blvd

    I guess these two never heard of an Amazi-Ladder? LoLz

    1. begbert2

      Ever since she had that final climactic fight with Amazi-Stool, Amber has been reluctant to get another sidekick of justice/top shelf access.

      She has occasionally had moments of regret, but Amazi-Stool has become Stoolwing now, and shown no interest in reconciliation.

      1. John

        Amazi-Girl is Noelle?

        I mean, uh… sorry, twelve-year-old Avalon in-joke flashback. Nothing to see here. Move along.

        1. Roborat

          What is sorry is that I actually got that joke.

        2. John

          That’s really frightening, because I didn’t even know [i]I[/i] remembered it until it popped into my head upon reading begbert’s comment.

  37. bunivasal

    “Well, Amazi-tits stole the sign. As another act of baffling vandalism, want to replace this pole with a slightly longer pole, so that it’s harder for her to replace it later?”

    1. begbert2

      See now, that’s the kind of dedication-to-vandalism I’ve come to expect of engineering students of major universities.

    2. John

      “Sounds good. Hey, while we’ve got the pole down, why don’t we drill out the holes so that the head of the bolt will slip through them?”

  38. niblik

    Seeing this comic reminds me of a very good reason I should get back into the dating scene… 🙂

  39. dropded

    Seriously, haven’t the original vandals tagged like 20 signs while this is going on?

  40. HiEv

    Of course if they keep hanging out like this, someone is going to catch on that Amazi-Girl cares for Danny, which will inevitably lead to Danny getting kidnapped so that someone can get Amazi-Girl to do something for the kidnappers.

    …Or perhaps I read too many comic books.

    1. Roborat

      Or some pushy reporter will want to interview him.

      1. Gargamel

        …Or some pushy reporter dressed as Cheerleader kidnaps him.

      2. John

        Billie will want Danny to arrange for her to meet with Amazi-Girl.

        For… journalism.
