      Wait. you want her to run from her Father three times, each time with a slightly different outcome? Her name’s not Lola, you know.

        Unlike Amber, Lola might have had super powers.

          But Amber DOES have superpowers. She is now fully justified in using that grappling hook in ways that were not intended.

          I met her in a bar down in Mos Eisley
          Where you drink blue milk and it tastes just like lime and soda
          S-O-D-A soda…..

          08/22/2013, 11:47 am

          I met her in a dorm down in Bloomington
          Where I gotta ride herd over all these happy campers
          C-M-P-R Campers
          She ran past me with her dad in pursuit
          I looked up her name and on the student list it said “Amber”
          A-M-B-R Amber, Am- Am- Am- Am- Aaaamber…

          Well I may be the dorm’s most physical girl
          Threw her dad overhead and nearly broke his skull
          For that Amber, Am- Am- Am- Am- Aaaamber…
          Well I’m not drunk but I can’t really stand
          So I sent my girl to chase down that man
          For that Amber, Am- Am- Am- Am- Aaaamber
          Am- Am- Am- Am- Aaaamber…

          (That’s the Canadian spellings. Honest. And my rhyming is at least as good as the Kinks’.)

        4. Neospector

          08/22/2013, 7:42 pm

          So…wait, is that, like, Canadian country music then?

        5. Roborat

          08/23/2013, 3:27 pm

          Nah, not even close, Canadian country music must have references to buffalo, fields of grain, beer and raging blizzards (it’s in the constitution), and must be sung by either Shania Twain or whoever we pick to replace Stompin Tom.

          And John, nice work on the Kink’s rescript.

          I usually read the comic and comment then read the hover text in Comic Chameleon in the morning. Comic Chameleon has some delay in putting up the comics.

          Yeah, that move she used on Blaine yesterday is totally Taki’s throw. Except she fell over instead of flipping back to her feet. Her drunken master mojo is low at the moment.

        2. Aizat

          08/22/2013, 12:21 am

      Blaine probably thinks she went down the stairs to escape, while Amber probably actually went up the stairs towards the rooftop, which is her natural environment.

        These look like a fire escape stairwell.  Not usually the first choice of people when there are elevators and more open stairways in a building.  And even is he does think of it, as was mentioned earlier her pursuer is going to assume she is headed out and going down the stairs — so if she went *UP* a couple of flights she is as good as invisible.

      GWS isn’t in guest strips. Danielle just felt like doing three strips in the memory of her grandmother and will be returning to the regular plot tonight.

      Also, as much as I’d love more frequent DOA, I don’t want to fuck up Willis’s monster 9-week buffer.

      I agree. In fact, he should also do the guest strips all week for QC and GWS, and I think SP needs a break to. Also he should do another alt universe strip set in the future, on a spaceship. Which also get daily updates.

      Nobody in the dorm disagrees with Ruth and lives, so that is not remarkable. Obeying Ruth is inconspicuous. Worrying about her isn’t.

      Apropos worrying about her: her state seems excessive even for detox.

        True. But the tone here seems like eager teamwork and trust which Ruth is going along with. I know that detox varies and can be pretty bad for some, especially the nausea. Willis might be laying it on thick, but we’re talking about Willis here after all.
