    wow yeah, yesterday’s alt-text, that is a Panel 1

    hi D. Daisy Dameson

    1. Schpoonman

      The second level of humor hovertext adds is just too much.

    2. Rose by Any Other Name

      That reference brought me joy. ^^

    3. Clif

      With any luck, Willis saved a model of the background for later use.

    4. Bicycle Bill

      Even if it had been hard to draw, through selective compression Willis would have still been able to get the basics of the atrium across in an immediately-recognizable manner.

      As a comparison, if you draw a picture of an old-time ocean liner with four funnels on it, people will generally realize you are making reference to Titanic, even if you DON’T have each and every last rivet and porthole in their proper places.

      1. King Daniel

        Which sucks when you’re actually trying to depict one of the numerous other four-funnel liners that existed between 1897 and 1950 (my personal favorite possibly being the RMS Aquitainia).

    5. clif

      Speaking of background, is Walky still just hanging around Jennifer and Daisy is fine with it, or has has he started working at the paper this semester?

  2. BBCC

    Jesus God, someone get Daisy a girlfriend. XD

    1. JetstreamGW

      You’d think she’d have at least scored some pity banging by now.

      1. Marsh Maryrose

        Alas, her fetish is for superheroes

        1. Clif

          There’s always Night-Guy. I hear he’s available.

        2. King Daniel

          Daisy’s lesbian, so Nightguy doesn’t cut it for her.

        3. Dark_T_Zeratul

          Then she’ll just have to hold out for the sudden, unexpected, and overly-dramatic appearance of Spider-Car.

        4. Bogeywoman

          I could definitely roll with daisy and Carla.

        5. Bogeywoman

          Dammit. So many fan art ideas (and okay to moderate artistic skills) and no platform for random late night posting before shamebrain kicks in

      2. RowenMorland

        Maybe its a thirst that cannot be quenched by mortal nectars?

    2. JessWitt

      Is Malaya still

      1. JessWitt

        Crap, is Malaya still available? Seems like the likeliest choice from the main cast.

        1. Rose by Any Other Name

          Well… there’s Ruth. She is now single.

        2. JessWitt

          That’s true. There comes the awkwardness of Jennifer’s employer dating her ex-girlfriend.

        3. Doctor_Who

          Ruth isn’t a superhero, but she’s pretty badass. Maybe she could get a costume, call herself “The Canuck” and that’ll totally be enough for Daisy.

        4. Blindness

          Not “The Femur”? The masked avenger who rips out the femur of those who oppose her?

        5. ktbear

          So long as Ruth remembers to add a chest window to her costume I’m sure Daisy will be happy.

        6. Needfuldoer

          Make it maple-leaf-shaped.

      2. Sporky

        No, she’s constantly in motion

    3. bcb

      Daisy and Ruth?

    4. Opus the Poet

      I see you read the pages in the background.

    5. DSL

      Dealing with the side -, after- and fringe-effects of the boss’s libido is never fun. My college paper editor’s f***buddy was on the grad student senate and thought he could dictate coverage — and then a succession of real-world editors and their hyperstimulated nether regions always left me a minefield, or at least an uncleaned dog run, to navigate as I tried to commit journalism in a small town.

  3. Octopus Ink

    Daisy’s Freudian Slip is showing.

    1. Stephen Bierce

      “Making a LUST and checking it twice…”

      1. Proxiehunter

        If she can find someone naughty, that would be nice.

        1. Blindness

          she needs some ho ho hos

        2. Needfuldoer

          An unquenchable thirst even the mighty lttstore.com water bottle is no match against.

  4. Yumi

    The newspaper layout in the background is sending me.

    1. ian livs

      Thank you for calling my attention to that beautiful background detail

      1. Cholma

        Yeah, I love that background. Dasiy makes a fine J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons concedes the crown), but Billie is really screwing up the Peter Parker bit!

        1. Clif

          Great Ceasars Ghost!!

        2. sultryglebe

          Billie could be Lois Lane.

    2. JessWitt

      I was expecting insane conspiracy theory papers with string and tacks. Good to know Daisy’s not there yet.

    3. ValdVin

      For a personals ad there are a lot of headlines (*looks closer*)…isn’t it an abuse of your power to do that on the front page, Daisy.

      1. clif

        But it’s her responsibility to discover the Amazi-number.

        With great power comes great responsibility.

  5. Jamie

    Just… just get Sal to dress up for her.

    1. Jamie

      Oh hey I have a new avatar.

      1. Clif

        It’s your imagination. You’ve always had that avatar. Go back and check the old comments in the archives and you’ll see I’m right.

      2. crow

        Oh wow, neat

      3. Ob

        Looks like everyone got new avatars. I wonder who I got…

        1. Ob

          Damnit Malaya!

          … I guess it could be worse.

        2. Needfuldoer

          You can always play with the capitalization in your email address to re-roll. Maybe you’ll get Capt. Julia Gray, maybe you’ll get Faz. Who knows!

        3. UnfrozenNeanderthal

          Don’t think Faz is in the rotation this time

        4. thejeff

          Yeah, unlike previous shuffles, it doesn’t look like it just added some new options, but replaced all the old ones.

        5. clif

          Damnet is Malaya’s first name.

        6. foamy

          Survey says…

        7. Azhrei Vep

          Oooh, wonder what I got?

        8. Azhrei Vep

          I’m okay with this. I did like Jacob better, though.

        9. Holly

          I’ve not seen and Jacobs yet.

        10. Holly

          *Any. And it seems I am still Dotty.

    2. Pablo360

      Billie wasn’t wrong about Sal being Amazi-Girl, she just miscalculated the dates when she was interpreting the ancient texts

      1. clif

        Spoilers.

    3. Lars

      As Shortpacked readers know, Lucy will become the new Amazi-Girl. But dressing up Lucy won’t do the trick as she’s all over Nightguy.

      1. Lars

        New grvatar as well. From Uke-Danny to Booster. Interesting.

  6. ThunderNight

    Finally more Daisy

    1. Needfuldoer

      I don’t think we’ve seen her since the DeSanto rally.

      Never mind pictures of Spider-Man Amazi-Girl, we need more Daisy, Tony, and Beef updates, dammit!

      1. thejeff

        She had a panel while Robin was holed up at Leslie’s.

        1. Opus the Poet

          Ah, yes, when she needed some time to herself in the bathroom.

  7. Dean

    Her fanfic just isn’t doing it anymore.

  8. Ray

    Daisy channeling her inner J. Jonah Jameson…

    1. Vukodlak

      If J.J was gay for Spider Man

      1. tim gueguen

        I’m sure someone has written fanfic based around that theme.

        1. Illithid

          I had to go and look…

          It was kinda meh.

        2. Lingo

          Bah, what would Julia Gray know about fanfic?

        3. UnfrozenNeanderthal

          glass houses people

      2. StClair

        It’s been a joke/meme in some quarters that several of his rogues are, though few with the… intensity (and level of obsession) displayed by the Joker Venom.

        And in one continuity, he somehow passed this quality (along with the rest of the “Parker Luck”) to his daughter Mayday, who got several love-confessions, including from the new Black Cat.

      3. Marsh Maryrose

        What do you mean, “if?”

      4. Newllend(henryvolt)

        okay look you know if Jay Jonah Jameson could get his hands on nudes of Spider-Man whether it be for erotic reasons or not he would.

      5. Switchchris

        He would take offense to that, he isnt gay, he is Spideysexual.
        He is very picky when it comes to what word you use lol.

        1. Clif

          Arachnidality exists somewhere on the web.

        2. Deanatay

          *imagines spiders crawling on someone’s genitals*

          *tries to imagine being turned on by this*

          Yeah, I like spiders, but NO

        3. clif

          Agree. But I stand by my conviction that it exists somewhere on the Interwebs.

      6. Some Ed

        Wait. It wasn’t canon that JJ was, um, spideysexual? I’m feeling so confused now.

  9. UnfrozenNeanderthal

    Yay, Daisy’s back, ‘s been a while

  10. Cattleprod

    Amazi-Girl: Hot Threat or Sexy Menace?

    1. Clif

      Hm. That’s a hard one.

    2. deathjavu

      Yes.

    3. Keulen

      Why not both?.gif

  11. MadameSocio

    I do wonder if Daisy will ever get to really meet Amber/Amazi-Girl, that’d be neat. (Btw, anyone know how to access the alt text on mobile?)

    1. plasticwrap

      You click just below the strip. Either left or right.

      1. MadameSocio

        Thanks a ton!

    2. Wizard

      Tap the navigation bar anywhere except the buttons. Or do a long press on the comic image until it pops up. One of those should work on most touch screen devices.

    3. bcb

      Also, some browsers offer their own way to see the alt text of any image. In Kiwi Browser for Android, you can press and hold an image, then click “image” in the window that pops up and it will show you the alt text.

  12. tim gueguen

    Hopefully Walky doesn’t blurt out something that could cause problems.

    1. clif

      When has he ever done that?

  13. cmasta1992

    Daisy is way too horny on main

    1. cmasta1992

      You have got to be kidding me

      1. StClair

        Perfection.

    2. JessWitt

      +1 for comment-gravatar synergy.

    3. Reaver

      HA-HA!

  14. plasticwrap

    Haha, J. Jenna Jameson horny.

  15. Newllend(henryvolt)

    Ah Daisy it’s been to long, still lonely and sexually frustrated as ever it seems….But seriously she needs to go and meet someone these obsessions are getting unhealthy.

  16. Proto_Eevee

    I WANT PICTURES OF AMAZI-GIRL ON MY DESK YESTERDAY!

    1. Newllend(henryvolt)

      Soon pictures of her on your desk or pictures of her sitting on your desk sexully. Because if it’s the latter I might need time to commission someone.

      1. Proto_Eevee

        it was the former, but now….

      2. Keulen

        I’m sure Daisy would accept either.

  17. StClair

    How many batteries do you think she goes through? Like, per day?
    Or does she just run directly off the wall outlet?

    1. HeatherJean

      That’s so last-millennium. Nearly all modern devices run off USB.

      1. clif

        Now if we had gotten the future with Tesla’s broadcast power, the question would have never arisen. In theory we could have mobile appliances that were always on.

  18. Lingo

    I guess Jennifer’s gotten over this incident.

    1. GutterChick

      Oh man that takes me back. Every time I see old DoA strips I relive my days of being 20 and my first year being gay

    2. woobie

      2013!?
      dammit

    3. King Daniel

      Incidentally, the strip immediately prior to that was the comic’s first to be posted with hovertext.

      1. clif

        Amend to hovertext that wasn’t just the title.

    4. clif

      I had forgotten that Willis promised us a sexy cliffhanger every Friday.

  19. Newllend(henryvolt)

    Anyway if there was ever a time for Amber/Amazi-girl to take a break it probably be now. I mean she’s still probably has a huge load of problems to deal with and future ones will definitely arise later down the road but after dealing with the Fallout of her past demons coming back to haunt her she should probably walk away from cape right now.

    1. clif

      Maybe Daisy could start to cover Roller Derby.

  20. Kyrik Michalowski

    It’s ok Daisy, we all want more sexy Amazi-girl pictures in our lives. We’ll just have to offer prayers to fan artists that draw lewd images.

  21. Romanticide

    I am torn between saying “can somebody gift an access to the proper slipshine pictures to this desperate woman?” and thinking that maybe wouldnt be the best for her to get what she wants…

  22. Sirksome

    We’re gonna get an end of storyline scene of Daisy in the Amazi-suit.

  23. NinjaMaid

    Rarely comments and just passively lurks.

    Still posts to find out what avatar I’m at

    1. NinjaMaid

      Yeah, yeah this is acceptable

    2. Delicious Taffy

      Nice. That’s good luck, I hear.

      1. Jamie

        *stares at avatars* What.

        1. Bogeywoman

          *backs away*

        2. Needfuldoer

          It’s like a playing card…

        3. clif

          You mean we should deal with it?

        4. King Daniel

          The game was rigged from the start.

  24. Jason Rivest

    I do hope Daisy finds someone, though I admit her thirstiness is entertaining.

  25. Bagge

    Poor Daisy, always looking for love* in the wrong places.

    *) You know what I mean

  26. NinjaNick

    I want Amazi-fanservice!

    1. clif

      Don’t we all?

  27. Rainhat

    So, what do you imagine Daisy’s one note sounds like?

    1. Delicious Taffy

      It’s a G

      1. RacingTurtle

        WHEN I WAS
        A YOUNG BOY

        Don’t think that was the joke you were going for, but here we are. Like Daisy, we’ll just have to carry on.

        1. RacingTurtle

          I’m Lucy now! How exciting!

    2. clif

      Approximately 391.995 Hz.

  28. PiotrW

    Wait, I thought Amber got publicly outed as AG?

    1. Jamie

      That was never established in-comic. It’s hard to imagine she wasn’t, since she undressed in public, but the next two relevant story beats were “Billie still doesn’t believe it” and “Blaine didn’t admit it to Lester”.

      1. clif

        Amber got public outed as AG – never happened.

        She undressed in public – What?
        I like your universe. Let’s live there.

        Unless it happened off panel durring the time skip.

        1. thejeff

          After stopping Blaine, she tore off the Amazi-suit out on the street. In public. With silhouettes in the background.

        2. OBBWG

          “I have no idea who this is.”

        3. PB

          I mean yeah that checks out

  29. BenRG

    So, I’m thinking that Daisy’s interest in Amazi-Girl is more than strictly professional? Someone should tell Amber that she has a serious fangirl!

    Meanwhile, my big worry is that Walky is going to do something ultra-stupid or at least start being Night-Guy more regularly because he wants to help Jennifer with her job.

    1. Jamie

      A fangirl who isn’t an ex of her boyfriend!

      1. clif

        And not an ex of Dorothy.

        As far as we know.

    2. Newllend(henryvolt)

      I am all for this idea of stupidity because it will lead to hilarious antics.

  30. Jem

    I’m mostly posting to see my new avatar, but…Billie has AG’s phone number, and AG *is* single. But not dissimilar to Ruth, she’s too sober to date these days.

  31. Jem

    OH YAY. I OWN THIS MAGNET.

  32. Bogeywoman

    SHIPPED

    1. Bogeywoman

      1. Oh shit. Suddenly I’m Carla. Sweet. Literally the greatest person in the entire cast. Literally. In all ways. Now to use this power for evil good
      2. Now I want to write fan fiction and draw bad fan art but post it /as/ daisy…. and pretend it’s bad because it’s daisy drawing it and not me…

      1. He Who Abides

        Second-best. My Gravitar is the best.

        1. clif

          Yeah, but that wasn’t randomly assigned.

          Was it?

        2. He Who Abides

          Yes. I played with my email capitalization hunting for Dina, but decided to stick with Fuckface when he showed up. Pretty sure I’m the only person who has him right now.

  33. Heather

    You’re missing ‘Is she into girls?’ in that background article chief. (And unfortunately for you it seems the answer is no).

  34. Orangey

    Someone please find daisy a girlfriend

  35. Bicycle Bill

    Jennifer: “Amazi-Girl hasn’t really been around campus since October, Daisy.”
    unsaid: “However, there were literally hundreds of her seen on Halloween.  It was such a popular costume you couldn’t find a set of coveralls or a cape between Indianapolis and Terre Haute.”

    And little by little Willis fills in the details from the time-skip.

  36. Keulen

    Daisy really needs a girlfriend. And I really did not expect to imagine Daisy talking like J. Jonah Jameson today.

    1. BenRG

      Looking like him – swap the pencil for a cigar!

    2. Zaxares

      Amazi-Girl is a menace! She needs to be taken off the streets and brought into the secure, tender embrace of my arms! … What?

      1. Opus the Poet

        Gigglesnort!

  37. Catman

    Daisy… You are both a big mood and to horny

  38. Wraithy2773

    My biggest disappointment with this strip is that Daisy doesn’t have a giant Coffee Mustache on her.

    I mean, yeah, it’d be obnoxiously silly, but come on, crank that shit up to 11! 😀

  39. He Who Abides

    Someone get Daisy a drink, she’s dying of thirst.

  40. Lordhaw

    I love the background in the last panel…I know it’s been said before but I’ll say it again. Gave me a smile this cold and stressful morning.

  41. Josh Spicer

    This…what?

  42. Rosicrucian

    I guess I should see what I got on Gravatar roulette this time.

    1. clif

      You win.

  43. Ziggy78eog

    Daisy: “Parker!? Parker!! Blast it, where is that darn Parker!? I want those Amazi-girl pictures!!”
    Jennifer: “Ummm, nobody, named Parker, works in the Student Paper.”
    Daisy: “Damn it, don’t take this from me!”

  44. DarkoNeko

    Oh. I understood that reference.

    1. clif

      The reference to yesterday’s hypertext? The Jamison reference? The headline reference?

      You have to specify which reference you mean before we can misinterpret you.

  45. Rabisch

    Walky looks pretty worried. Or surprised.

    1. Alaric

      OR he’s trying to figure out whether NightGuy can fill in for Amazi-Girl, to help Bil- er, Jennifer out. It’s just crazy enough to be something Walky would think of (but not to work).

  46. Nevermaker

    Jeez, girl, it’s been MONTHS, just get Tinder or something.

    1. Opus the Poet

      Not sure if Tinder has been invented yet in the Dumbiverse.

  47. geno

    Waiting for Billie to dress up as Amazi-Girl

  48. PB

    I don’t know if her recent adventures counted as sexy, J. Daisy Jameson.

    Also I have ZERO complaints about my new gravatar.

    1. He Who Abides

      Dammit. For a whole day, I was special.

      Ah well. Welcome to Clan Fuckface.

      1. PB

        Soon we shall conquer the comments section. >:)

  49. Freddie!

    So much DETAIL! –
    BWAHAHAaaaaaaaa

  50. MrSmith

    whats my new pic?

  51. Arianod

    “We could get you some NightGuy pics…”

    “It is NOT the same.”

  52. Juanoku

    She doesn’t want to be famous?
    I’ll make her INfamous

  53. not someone else

    New avatar check post.

    1. Dustfeather

      Curious as to mine too 🙂

  54. Mr. Random

    I have this theory.
    That Daisy wants to bone Amazi-Girl.

    New gravatars?

    1. Arianod

      Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?

  55. anansi

    This puts J Jonah Jamison’s obsessions in a new light

  56. Cheshrin

    *rolls the Gravatar dice* All right, baby, who we gettin?

    1. Cheshrin

      Julia “Definitely Not Joyce’s Self-Insert” Gray! Nice!

  58. The Coolest Child

    Hm

  59. Kaidah

    Real men hit their desks and demand more pictures of Amazi-girl.

    1. Kaidah

      Oooo, new randomly generated avatar. Finally I’m one of the main cast. 😀
