    Amazi-Girl was INSIDE YOU ALL ALONG

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Sounds like the caption for a ‘vore fetish. 😛

      1. nekobawt

        “amazi-girl’s so great, i could just eat her up!”

        1. Jacknoir

          you sure don’t you mean “out” instead of up?

        2. Guest Person Dude

          So many extra words!
          The best way to say it is
          “Amazi-girl, … I could just .. “

        3. NaughtbutaHoax

          Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the concept of vore.

          In this, I envy you. (Don’t look it up.)

    2. TJ Baltimore

      She had a strap-on?

      @JEN ASIDE >>Amazi-Girl was INSIDE YOU ALL ALONG

      Are you sure that line isn’t You’ve been inside Amazi-Girl all along!

      and then… You might want to consider our line of vaginal exercise tools like the incredible “Kegelizer!” We offer a hydraulic model, if you’re really THAT amazing! (Stay away from the Vagina Dentata! Sounds like you took care of Ethan without one!)

  2. Junker

    Awww…This is the best

  3. Plasma Mongoose

    She’s happier than Batman ever was.

    1. saltchocolate

      Not hard.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        True that! ^_^

  4. Wonder Wig

    Immune to criticism, but praise is super effective.

  5. Doctor_Who

    Agatha: She’s awesome!
    Rachel: She’s the coolest!
    Dina: She doesn’t leave a mess in the bathroom sink.
    …
    Dina: So I imagine.

    1. Yotomoe

      I just can’t imagine Amber not ruining the bathroom sink. Girl pulls all nighters.

      1. Nyxness

        What about all-nighters requires ruining sinks?

      2. Ivan

        I still don’t get this one, and I’m trying! Is this like Urinal Abuse? I know that ruins the taste of those delightful desert cakes in there whenever someone does that!

        1. thatindianguy

          ‘sigh’ Okay Ivan we need to have a wee little talk…

      3. lightsabermario

        I *think* I get this one. Not positive, but it’d have to do with not taking a shower, and instead using the sink to wash one’s hair. Girls’ hair is (usually) a lot longer than guys’, and so those long hairs could easily stop up the drain. The problem with this claim is that I’ve done a ton of all-nighters, and I am actually even more likely to take a shower on those days than the rest, since I have plenty of time to take one, and it helps get you refreshed. But if you sleep, there’s the chance that you may oversleep, and miss out on your shower (and this is all only if you usually take a shower in the morning and not at night.)

  6. Mr. Random

    Yes, a LITTLE more eccentric than most.

  7. Yotomoe

    “I heard she once punched threw solid steel to save a crying baby!”

    1. Doctor_Who

      “I head she’s really good at killing spiders! Like, giant ones!”

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        She should go to Australia then, we have spiders with Health and Mama Bars.

        1. Pat

          Is that a typo? I assume it is meant to be Mama Bears. As bodyguards.

        2. Flop

          It’s supposed to be mana bars, like an RPG enemy

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Flop is correct, I did mean mana bars but the idea that our spiders also have mama bear escorts sounds disturbingly awesome.

        4. Deanatay

          I would play this game – where can I get it?

          Only released in Australia? I blame you for this, Willis!

        5. Osaru Sensei

          yep.

    2. MrSirk

      “I heard she once took a bullet for the president…and walked away!”

      1. arank11

        “I heard she can leap tall buildings in a single bound!… No, wait. Wrong person.”

    3. Angel

      “And one time, she fought a bear!”

      1. Ivan

        “I heard she turned a dude gay! His mother was pissed!”

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          She also can some women gay. 😀

        2. Ivan

          I don’t know those universe alternatives – but that 5th panel chin gives her enough room to let at least two women ride it, that’s for certain!

      2. Kaoy

        “I hear that Chuck Norris once called Amaza-Girl and asked to be her side kick! She said she would think about it.”

    4. newllend

      I heard at age 8 she wrestled an alligator, killed it, then ate it.

    5. Daddy

      I heard she once vanquished the dreaded Ursa Major!

      1. Ivan

        Where did you think Ursa Minor came from?

    6. Smallfoot

      I heard when Amazi-girl built the pyramids, she beat up Kublai Khan!

      1. TheSuicidalGiraffe

        WHAT WOULD AMAZI GIRL DO IF SHE WHERE HERE TODAY!

        1. Deanatay

          I’m sure she’d kick an arse or two, that’s what Amazi-Girl would do!

        2. Yotomoe

          So let’s get all the kids together, and unite to stop these dicks. And we’ll jump out a window or 2 cuz that’s what amazi-girl would do. And we’ll jump out of a window too cuz that’s what amazi-girl would DOOOO!

  8. Tacdud2

    Look at that smile

  9. Jason

    Just realized the Carla isn’t mentioning the other night because she was drinking underaged and doesn’t want to get herself or her friends in trouble. Loose lips sink ships.

    1. Nyxness

      Really? I think most college students are pretty open about underaged drinking, at least when only surrounded by other college students. I’ve found that once you leave high school, most people stop caring about the legal drinking age. “Admitting” to underaged drinking in college is like admitting you’re right-handed.

  10. Kathleen

    And thus, Other Rachel becomes AmaziGirl’s first cosplayer. Daisy already beat her to the fanfiction.

    1. WeezerLuvr3030

      Has anyone out here in meatspace cosplayed AmaziGirl? Between her and Dina this comic has very recognizable cosplay-worthy characters.

      1. JessWitt

        Check Willis’ tumblr. There are Amazi-cosplayers about.

        1. JessWitt

          ^ Disregard this post. I’m not overly hip on the social media.

        2. Leorale

          Don’t feel bad, it’s on the dumblr, too.
          Anyway they both look happy and totally fantastic! The best.

          http://dumbingofage.tumblr.com/post/90852834807/freyarule-amazi-girl-costume-test-i-am-all

          http://dumbingofage.tumblr.com/post/91266633917/forgottenphotograph-my-bestie-cosplayed

          AMAZING

        3. JessWitt

          Tnx for reaffirming that hunch, Leorale. And confirming I’m not Internet-impaired.

        4. Ivan

          Wow – CosPlay dead on, proportions and all, as I would have imagined them IRL.

          Not that I have, but now I need not!

        5. Ivan

          more so for the first AG link than the latter. The second link is at the end of the potato/pasta first year.

        6. Bill

          “more so for the first AG link than the latter. The second link is at the end of the potato/pasta first year.”

          Around here we call this first-year weight gain the “Freshman 15”.
          And then there is the non-canon hair color.

        7. Leorale

          Eh, discussion of weight makes me cringe. It’s not even relevant, fellas. I guess gators gonna gait.

        8. WeezerLuvr3030

          Coooooooooool.

      2. JessWitt

        Check Willis’ twitter. There are Amazi-cosplayers about.

        1. Ivan

          I’m not checking his Twitter or his Dingle or anything else of the sort!

        2. Bill

          Well put, Ivan!

      3. Cholma

        Isn’t Dina technically the first cosplayer? (she did put the uniform on, right? Or did she just hold it? Can’t remember and too lazy to research)

        1. JessWitt

          A-ha! So very right, Cholma.

        2. Betty Anne

          She put it on. Amber had to make sure she’d taken it off and hidden it before she let Ruth into the room.

        3. Hylleddin

          Does it count as cosplay if it’s the actual uniform?

      4. timemonkey

        Yes. If you check Willis’ tumblr you can see a couple of them.

      5. Jason

        you can probably see some in the news posts on this very website.

      6. Marisa Mockery

        Saw an Amazigirl cosplay at AX, actually.

        1. WeezerLuvr3030

          Groovy!

  11. Yotomoe

    This comic doesn’t have an acceptable amount of Sierra in it.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      The Marcie and Mandy quotient is also unacceptably low.

      1. Ancestral Hamster

        No Sal either. And none of the girls are in bikinis.

        I’m in despair!!

        1. Ivan

          Or Penny… at least she’s worthy and beggin’ for “it!”

        2. Ivan

          and qualifies as fully adult.

          She probably has her own Kegelizer, from Ron Popeil (and the incredible rotisserie – so the bongo can make dinner-I’m hungry!) in just a few short minutes while exercising.

    2. Sam

      But it does have an excess of Rachels and the minimum requirement of Dina.

    3. maxyai

      We never see Agatha and I WANT MORE!

      1. Leorale

        Every panel from now on should be ALL the characters.
        Except Blaine and Faz.
        (And maybe also not Danny. I’m not sure whether he’s still in the doghouse.)
        It’ll be impossibly unwieldy, but delightful for everyone who isn’t Willis.

        1. Bill

          That could get a little awkward during sexy-times.

        2. 4th Dimension

          I think you ment better. Much better.

      2. alicemacher

        Agatha seems pretty chill. What was she like, and what was her situation, in the Walkyverse? I don’t think she appeared in Roomies!, so I assume she pops up in It’s Walky! somewhere?

        1. Gigafreak

          She is warm and friendly and her SEMME squad is full of people who would totally want to be everyone’s friend because friendship is magic. I think The Other Rachel was part of this squad as well, but currently http://www.joyceandwalky.com won’t load for me, so I can’t double-check.

        2. Gigafreak

          Wait, there we go, it works now. (Oh sweet, the fan-operated database search now points to Joyce&Walky too.)

          The Other Rachel was indeed in the same squad as Agatha. She even gets dialogue lines before Rachel does. (Robin was in that squad originally as well, until being transferred to Walky’s. Mike, of all people, was transferred to their squad in exchange.)

          Incidentally, Agatha has had cameo appearances in Shortpacked too, as Robin’s counterpart in McAwesome’s. She’s their “former member of SEMME squad 82 who isn’t Mike.”

  12. MrSirk

    She’s the hero no one asked for but are okay with being around.

  13. Nono

    Man, Rachel’s pretty awesome. I hope we see more of her, especially if she keeps quipping people off like that.

  14. Ian

    Not surprised at all that I didn’t notice Dina until I saw her name in the tags.

  15. Ancestral Hamster

    Re: Carla’s line in 3rd Panel. Someone should have answered, “Yeah, but you’re an asshole.” Carla would probably get mad, but last comic she wanted to be known as an asshole.

  16. Jake

    OHHH, the alt text is referring to Carla. For a second I thought the purple-haired girl in panel 3 was the one we had to watch out for.

  17. Mass Confusion

    It looks like things are finally going right for Amber/Amazi-Girl. ‘Bout time

    1. tinfoil theory

      I have a feeling that everything will be just fine…

      1. newllend

        You guys couldn’t help but jinx it couldn’t you?

        1. Deanatay

          I think they’re jinx-trolling.

        2. Anarchy 101

          You guys just jinxed the jinxes, not what will happen?

  18. Pyr05

    See Amber? Being normal sucks!

  19. nekobawt

    i love how joyce is like “well, she’s not SAL, but she’s an acceptable amount of cool.”

    (whereupon billie droops into the hall with a hangover and says “no, she’s totally sal”, and goes back to bed, muttering about stupid people.)

    1. Bill

      Speaking of which, where *IS* Sal?
      And don’t give me any of that “Amazi-Girl is Sal” crap.

      1. tinfoil theory

        Sal is either asleep, or off bying replacement permanent markers.

        1. Deanatay

          Or playing Mario-Kart. ‘Cause she can’t stop.

  20. arank11

    Oh! Oh! Carla Heckles! Carla Heckles!
    (Friends fans will get this)

  21. SilverArrowArtemis

    Joyce is all like “Am I emulating the wrong person? How is she cooler than Sal?” or “Bad memories are coming back”.

    1. Barf Ninjason

      Joyce can’t bring herself to fully approve of things that are cool.

      1. Deanatay

        “I dunno, aren’t superheroes, like, a denial of God’s will, or a false idol, or something like that? It just seems wrong, somehow. I need to study my Bible.”

    2. Leorale

      Maybe she also hasn’t been exposed to any pop culture regarding superheroes (other than Jesus), so she doesn’t know it’s cool.

      1. nekobawt

        actually…to be fair, the last time joyce directly encountered amazi-girl, she accidentally distracted everyone and let joyce’s attacker get away, so i can see why joyce would be dubious about the coolness level of that particular costumed vigilante type. this would be joyce learning that amazi-girl is actually potentially useful.

  22. Barf Ninjason

    Is Other Rachel the one who looks like a goldfish?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Yes, she was a Goldeen in her previous life. 😛

      1. King Blind Mime

        The poor dear; Goldeen was outclassed even in Gen I, let alone nowadays.

  23. caesaria82

    I keep repeating myself, but every new update of this current storyline makes me happy. Naturally, this can only mean that doom and gloom are imminent around the next corner, so I’m just gonna enjoy the happiness as long as it lasts^^

  24. Lanval

    Did… Did Carla say she could be a psychotic violent nutcase if she wanted to?

    1. David M Willis

      gotta have goals

      1. Deanatay

        It’s the next step up (down?) from ‘total asshole’, which it sounds like she earned last year. Probably with sweet pranks.

  25. maxyai

    Has Faz been seen lately? Faz would make a great Whiteboard Dingdong Bandit.

    1. Leorale

      Oh, that’s true, isn’t it! He was last seen here: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/04-just-hangin-out-with-my-family/return/

      That was a couple days ago, right? He could theoretically still be on campus, living off of trash and pictures of dongs.

      1. Catullus

        That was Saturday, and this is Wednesday, so while Faz could theoretically still be on campus, it would be starting to get weird.

        1. nekobawt

          yeah, but this is faz we’re talking about, with him it “starts to get weird” after 2 minutes.

    2. Deanatay

      Sounds like you’re paraphrasing the Princess Bride:

      Faz: Is very strange. I’ve been in the molestation business for so long, now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.

      Westley: Have you ever considered vandalism? You’d make a wonderful Whiteboard Dingdong Bandit.

      1. Bill

        I had that same thought.  Further proof that great minds think alike.

  26. Juliecat

    Why isn’t Girl Mike wearing any pants?

    1. Joebo

      Because it is early in the morning and most of the people in that hallway haven’t even been to the showers yet.

      1. thatindianguy

        Still you figure she’d throw on some pajama bottoms before leaving the room.

  27. JessWitt

    Joyce has found a new cool idol. Being Sal is so yesterday.

  28. Risky

    Get them pies Carla. It’s time for a rampage.

  29. Izzy

    Fem-Mike?

    1. Izzy

      This gravitar works for me

  30. Rutee

    Carla managing to be right and petty about it amuses me. As does Rachel. Moar rachel plox.

  31. Paul

    So, what I’m seeing here is that Ultra–er, Carla isn’t, but could be Amazi-Girl.

    1. Catullus

      Sounds like Spider-Car is going to make an appearance in a few strips!

      1. Catullus

        *like Spider-Car is going to…

        1. Catullus

          This is odd, the comments section deletes it every time I try to write Spider Car in its hyphenated form.

        2. Catullus

          Again? I guess I just can’t put the word “car” directly after the word “spider” in any context.

  32. Rabid Rabbit

    Other Rachel looks… odd.

    Also, her eyeballs are apparently permanently stuck staring to her upper right. That must get uncomfortable. (And yes, I know they weren’t yesterday.)

    1. Heavensrun

      Orrr, she was just talking to someone who is both taller than her and to her right. Y’know, like Agatha.

    2. Bill

      Isnt ‘other rachel’ wearing glasses (which, btw, seems to be a common trait among Willis’ characters)?  Although she is rather young for them, maybe she has progressive lenses — a/k/a no-line bifocals — like I do, and this is the only place in the lens where she has the appropriate correction.

  33. Michael

    Next strip: Amazi-girl hits a wall cause she was looking fondly backwards.

  34. GoogerGeiger

    Danny’s gonna get some tonight.

    1. newllend

      Unless she fucks up the opportunity

      1. nekobawt

        or unless *he* dans it up.

    2. Deathjavu

      After spending all day with Sal?

      Unlikely, that meeting is almost guaranteed to screw something up with Amber.

  35. CarlaGriffin

    Awwww, happy Amber brings a warm glow to my heart.

    And Carla being able to be jealous if she wanted to is hilarious, she is quickly working her way up to one of my favourite DOA characters. She’s more endearing here than as Ultra Car, I guess it’s that good old fashioned human weakness.

    1. Heavensrun

      I think she as saying she could be a psychotic violent nutcase if she wanted.

  36. newllend

    I can see what happens next, she’s stops right by sal’s room to see Sal and Danny after staying up all night playing video games only for Danny to say out loud, “I can’t believe we were up ALL NIGHT LONG!”…ya that seem about right.

    1. 4th Dimension

      Yup. It’s not DoA storyline if it’s not bringing emotional anguish to Amber.

  37. buckybone

    Carla might just be my favorite character…seriously Willis, GET OUT OF MY HEAD.

  38. Idon'tcarenomore

    Yay! Amazi-Girl Is happy. Very cool.

    Carla is not my favorite by a long shot, has to prove herself first. Right now she’s just a dick.

  39. Iggzy

    Gonna give a preemptive Damn You Willis as the last panel is just begging for the next being her running into someone or something bad

    1. Sam

      Such as Sal – not necessarily someone bad to others but she is to Amber/Amazi-Girl.

  40. Tenn

    Careful what you wish for, Other Rachel…

  41. Maycroft

    Awww, I feel awesome for Amber.

    1. tahrey

      Dude… are you drunk?

  42. Ikaru

    Yea! Happy feels for once! That was all part of Mike’s plan!

  43. OmegaDez

    Does Carla recognizes Amazi-girl from that Wal-Mart scuffle and vice versa?

  44. tahrey

    Got a horrible feeling that this burst of pride won’t be allowed to last. Remember where we are, people.
