    Well, this is awkward.

    1. Undrave

      “Oh hello Dorothy! Since when do you dye your hair?”

    2. Squall

      I think he’s gonna be mad about the spoilers cuz he didn’t realize it by kissing her.

      1. PureFedora

        “What the heck, Amber! I wasn’t supposed to figure it out until we totally did it! This was supposed to be the big climax at graduation! God, you ruin everything!”

        1. Matthewwww

          Hehehe big climax

        2. John

          Amber got cheated out of her big climax at prom; I don’t think she’s going to wait for college graduation for her next one.

  2. Paul

    Suddenly, Danny.

    1. thecanvashat

      Also, Blaine.

    2. Geminia999

      what about Raidah?

    3. JBO

      Suddenly, lovers.

    4. Doctor_Who

      Suddenly Seymour.

      1. Blue

        Is standing besi-ide me!

        1. Paul

          I don’t need no make-up

        2. Wack'd

          Don’t need to prete—oh wait

      2. nothri

        Please don’t let this end with everyone eaten by a giant alien plant….

        1. Somebody

          The movie apparently has a happier ending.

        2. espanolbot

          Depends if you have the director’s cut or not. The DC is so sad it’s hilarious.

        3. Reepicheep-chan

          The said thing about the DC is that all of that expensive and lovingly crafted giant monsters wreckin shit footage was thrown out.

        4. DaiKamonohashi

          God bless the Blu-ray. ^^

    5. Raiettei

      Betty Crocker Suddenly Salad

    6. laurenh

      Sudden Valley

  3. Doctor_Who

    These impending jinx be high, son.

    1. thecanvashat

      Jinx is Dana?

    2. The Candyman

      Verily.

    3. Kernanator

      Higher than Mt. Everest.

  4. Pyr05

    Billy! Waste no time! He’s distracted! Throw those thighs! Throw ’em!

    1. thecanvashat

      But she needs her femurs to live!

      1. Not Walky

        Well she’s obviously going to keep the bones and throw the fleshy parts.

        1. nothri

          Se needs those bits too.

        2. Random Webcomics Junkie

          Perfect grav, Nothri.

    2. Yotomoe

      She rips her legs off and throws them like clubs.

      1. Pyr05

        More like a boomerang! Lock that knee, and you have multiple throw opportunities!

        1. Aizat

          Or she rips Blaine’s leg off and used that severed leg to kick him in the nads.

        2. thecanvashat

          Billie used Bonemarang!

        3. Kaci

          Super effective!

        4. thecanvashat

          It Hit two times!

          Blaine used Outrage!
          Blaine is confused!

        5. Kaci

          Blaine tries to use Misdirected Rage!

          It fails!

        6. Squall

          Amber uses charm!

  5. Jen Aside

    “Danny, who is this red-headed Dorothy D8”

    1. GoogerGeiger

      Red-headed?

      1. Jen Aside

        Yes, my monitor is crap. I’ve been going off Amber’s Shortpacked! description of Faz having hair with a weird reddish tint.

        Also, all kind of people I know who have hair that’s NOT cherry-red still describe their hair as red, so I HAVE NO IDEA.

        1. Jen Aside

          Also, brown is just dark orange SO THERE

    2. thecanvashat

      Danny, why is Dorothy dressed up like that?

    3. Yotomoe

      Danny, Who is this colorblind commentor?

      1. Squall

        Apparently this is DoA technicolor

    4. Plasma Mongoose

      The word you are looking for is brunette.

    5. Pyr05

      Danny, when did Dorothy get heavier and dye her hair?

    6. JBO

      If Amber were red headed she would probably replace Dorothy as teh hottest female character (IMO).

      1. Yotomoe

        But Sierra is squarely at the top of that list.

        1. JBO

          Me not my type.

        2. Wack'd

          Well, I should hope you’re not your own type, that’d be weird.

        3. JBO

          *Insert crude masturbation joke here*

        4. Squall

          I saw one of those fake “Girlfriend takes candid shot photo” where the guy takes a picture of himself, and is clearly visible doing so in a reflection, but my first thought was that his hand was his girlfriend. Not that he failed by lying about having a girlfriend and taking a convincing photograph ruined by the fact that his lie is visible in a mirror or window.

        5. hegas117

          I lost the thread of this conversation right around this point….

        6. awnman

          Clearly Faz is sexiest character.

        7. JBO

          “See this graph clearly shows an increase of sexual arousal when Faz is in teh comic.”
          “You are holding it upside down.”

        8. Badeyes

          Clearly you are brain injured. (the beard was the first clue)

        9. Squall

          Um. Badeyes. You have bad eyes. There is no beard in that gravvy. There is only mustache and sideburns. And the lack of beard makes it look quite silly.

        10. Tenn

          But them’s some Bad Ass sideburns.

        11. John

          You are not allowed to dis General Burnside and his sideburns until you have a style of facial hair named after you.

        12. The Candyman

          Well, you can critique his skills as an actual general, but his facial hair is without equal!

        13. Somebody

          Is that foot-fetish thing?

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Here is a picture of Amber as a REDHEAD.

        1. timemonkey

          So you just drew Rose?

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I’m not certain now, does redheaded Amber = Rose, if only I had a picture of Rose to compare with.

        3. David Willis

          Rose has hair closer to Joyce’s, which hangs over her shoulders, freckles, and rectangular glasses.

        4. The Candyman

          Plus, she has hair that’s actually red.

        5. Reepicheep-chan

          Why do all of your redheads have rectangular glasses?

        6. John

          With the red hair, square glasses, overall shorts, and general attitude, I’ve been thinking maybe Ultra Car’s new chassis is Joe’s tribute to Ruth. But it’s been a while so he doesn’t really remember what she looked like.

        7. John

          (We can’t mention UC at all?)

        8. Kernanator

          Not since yesterday.

          Also, the reason all of Willis’ redheads have rectangular glasses is because rectangular glasses are sexy. Or at least I hope they are! Otherwise, I need new glasses!

        9. Rse

          Hey is that actually your tumblr? I follow you!

      3. etyb

        >implying she isn’t already the hottest female

        1. Paul

          Well, since Ruth isn’t in this particular strip…

      4. Rex Hondo

        The appropriate ranking is Amber at number one, then Sierra, then Billie, and then everybody else kind of shifting around depending on the day of the week and phase of the moon.

        1. John

          Billie is the hottest.

          Dina is the cutest.

          Amber is the amazingest.

  6. Geminia999

    So Billie just stopped ten feet away from a standing Blaine, way to drop the ball >_>

    1. Yotomoe

      “Whelp, that’s all I got”

    2. thecanvashat

      She’s about to use Flamethrower, looking at her mouth.

    3. Doctor_Who

      The break whistle went off.

      Now she and Blaine sit quietly next to each other and eat their lunches. Then the whistle blows again and Blaine goes back to stealing sheep while Billie punches him.

      1. Radiodad

        +10 to the Doctor.

        First time commenter. I’ve been reading the strip for a couple of months now. Great stuff, Mr. Willis.

      2. Thanks, I'll Have Another!

        “Mornin’, Sam”

        “Morning, Ralph.”

        1. Jack Finch

          For the win.

  7. Yotomoe

    Just go with it Danny. Don’t be dumb like you usually are. DON’T. YOU. DO. IT.

    1. Aizat

      Heck, do it on the floor, Danny. Just do it!

      1. JBO

        BUT USE PROTECTION!

    2. thecanvashat

      I think anyone would be dumb if someone addressed them like this.

      Danny, be dumb; It’s almost acceptable now?

      1. Paul

        Yeah, if a close friend of mine came out of nowhere and called me “lover,” in front of my parents, I can definitely see myself responding like an idiot.

        That being said, maybe circumstances and plain-ol’ shock will save the day here. I can hope, right?

        1. David

          If you’ve been exposed to enough movies, it should be clear that somebody’s trying to hide in the open. Though it works better without parents around…

        2. Hadrian

          I gotta admit, I didn’t pick up on that at first, I thought she was attempting to help Danny out.

    3. Pyr05

      You know he will. And we’ll all sigh because he’s oblivious.

    4. Thor

      It’s no use. We’re still going to deride Danny, even if he acts flawlessly. The hate train can’t brake in that short of a distance.

      (Spoiler: He will not act flawlessly.)

  8. Kernanator

    Didn’t some people call this? I’m pretty sure some people called this.

    1. John

      I called the “Amber poses as Danny’s girlfriend” schtick, but I was expecting it to be at Danny’s instigation.

  9. Raen

    Danny, here’s your chance to not be an asshole. Don’t blow it.

    1. Mattyos

      That’s like asking nixon to be a good president…bound to have some difficulties making it happen just right

      1. Yotomoe

        That’s like asking me not to eat all the Tortilla Chips. or Goldfish.

        1. thecanvashat

          That’s like asking Walky to give away all of his D&MM stuff.

        2. The Candyman

          It’d be like asking Mike to not..well, do anything, really. Reverse psychology is pretty much his only weakness.

        3. AJBulldis

          Hmm…if you eat them together would it in any way resemble eating nachos?

      2. David

        Oh, Nixon was a better president than the law allowed. So they changed the laws. The stuff he would have gotten impeached and prosecuted for (had he not resigned and gotten an immediate presidential pardon) is peanuts against the stuff the current and last president are pulling off. “Think of the communists”, excuse me, “terrorists”. Or was it the children?

        1. saltchocolate

          ^This.

      3. Historyman68

        Nixon conserved a shitload of land, and opened relations with China. Too bad he was such a creep.

    2. Jon P

      He’s not an asshole, he’s just completely inept.

      1. saltchocolate

        Yes. Because not only would playing along help Amber, it would help *him* get his parents off his back. But will be see this? Six weeks ago, Willis decided . . . No. Of course not.

    3. Josh

      Blowing assholes never sounds like a good idea.

  10. Wonder Wig

    Lover is such like an awesome title. Like, it implies a lot of comfort and romance between the two people. Then again, you could just be doing what’s going on here.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      They played Mario-Kart together, that practically makes them husband and wife in some parts of the world. 😛

      1. AJBulldis

        In my case it was more friends with benefits. The benefit being a friend who I played Mario Kart with once.

    2. Yotomoe

      it also implies intertwining genitalia.

      1. thecanvashat

        and/or heavy petting.

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Intertwining genitalia suggests some kind of snake-sex happening.

        1. thecanvashat

          It’s 12 feet long, and he has to doodle her from across the room.

        2. Zach

          I hope some day genes from squit are used in GMA rapeseed so we can have ‘giant fields of tentacle rape.’

        3. Tenn

          See? Rape jokes can be funny!

        4. Squall

          So they are both made of Ivy?

        5. Rex Hondo

          So long as is’t not duck sex. That shit be terrifying.

        6. The Candyman

          Cat sex is a close second.

    3. NF

      Inamorata/inamorato is better. And Italian.

      1. Thor

        Domo arigato, inamorato.

  11. Mattyos

    this is going to be both amazing and terrible all at the same time…dammit willis!!

    1. Yotomoe

      haha
      because Amber’s Amazi-girl
      and Danny’s terrible.

      1. Fernando

        Danny’s sidekick name (sidekick to Amazi-Girl, of course) would be “Terri-Boy”.

  12. Aizat

    Man, what I would do for someone to greet me that way. I am such a sad strange man.

    1. Kaci

      hey lover!

      1. Aizat

        Thanks, Kaci. I needed that.

        1. Thor

          Hey, lover.

        2. The Candyman

          The moment is gone.

        3. Kaci

          No problem! And if it helps you even more, I have never addressed anyone as such before, including my husband…

          Perhaps I should start, but alas, I am shy. So, special treatment for you 🙂

        4. Rex Hondo

          No need to be shy. Trust me, he’ll dig it. 😉

    2. Jack Finch

      And you have my pity

  13. OkamiKing

    Imagine if Danny’s dad kicks some ass…. He looks like he can kick some ass.

    1. Aizat

      “I’m sending you to the bank, Blaine. The blood bank.”

      1. JBO

        Now now lets us talk about parenting, buddy. And by talk I mean fight.

        1. thecanvashat

          “It’s time to take out the trash.”

        2. Aizat

          “YOU EEEDIOT! YOU! Oh what I’m going to do to you. I’m so angry…first, I’m going to tear your lips out, yeah, that’s what I’m gonna do. Next, I’m gonna gouge your eyes out, yeah. Next, I’m gonna tear your arms out of the sockets. And you know what else? I’m gonna hit you and you’re gonna fall and I’m gonna look down and I’m gonna laugh.”

        3. Ocbrad1

          But first, but fiiirrrsssttt, I gotta take a whiz!

    2. Yotomoe

      Danny’s dad is Barney Rubble so I think he can.

      1. Doctor_Who

        Yeah, Bedrock cavemen can travel at freeway speeds with mere foot power, and survive unlimited bowling balls to the skull. They are pretty tough.

  14. Sammie1053

    Took me a minute to realize that Danny has no idea why she just said that. HOPEFULLY he takes the hint, if not I’m throwing in the towel.

    1. Yotomoe

      You give Danny too much credit. Any amount of credit is too much. There are negative numbers that are higher the amount of credit Danny deserves.

      1. Paul

        And yet I hold out hope…

        1. Thor

          You must really like seeing hope knocked to the ground and stomped on then.

    2. Orion Fury

      You know, I forget which universe is the one where it’s recommended to read the strips as if Danny doesn’t exist. Either way, I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t screw things up.

      1. Sammie1053

        Good to know… I’ve always tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, having no idea that he’s been a hopeless character across all universes.

        1. Tenn

          I can’t recall that he was ever considered a hopeless character in the Walkyverse.

        2. The Candyman

          Well, none of the characters considered him hopeless.

      2. thecanvashat

        This strip works perfectly, if you assume that Amber is talking to Billie or Raidah across the room.

  15. Gottawonder

    And wouldn’t that be nice Okamiking

  16. Geminia999

    Danny’s Mom’s eyes seem to be looking pretty low when she’s looking at Amber

    1. Yotomoe

      “Well Rackwise, this is a step up, but I dock you points for repition.”

      1. Doctor_Who

        Amber’s mask is stuck to her foot and she’s trailing it like toilet paper.

        1. Yotomoe

          “Oh honey, you’ve got your superhero mask trailing behind you. It’s so embarassing when that happens to me-I mean…that super hero that lives…near our…house”

        2. thecanvashat

          “Yes. That one. The one who is not me. Uh, I mean, me, a superhero? Pssh. But yeah. I don’t know her, but um…I mean she saved me, one time… Two times? Maybe twice. She, uh, saved me. From nasty hooligans. Yeah. Hooligans. Um. Superhero. The one from around here. Not here meaning this room, that would be ridiculous. But here meaning this neighborhood. Yeah. That’s what I meant. I, uh, wounder who she is. Um, I don’t approve of her actions and think she’s a menace? But, um, as far as menaces go, she’s the best menace and her heart is in the right place and she must really be trying to stop crime so not really a menace then. Um. Yeah.”

        3. Yotomoe

          “I’ll say she looks very young and hot. Perhaps the sexiest super heroine I’ve seen”

        4. Aizat

          “Son, all superheroine are sexy.”
          “Sharon, I didn’t know you’re into comics.”

  17. SUGauthor

    I see two options, Danny thinks Amber doing some kind of play and just goes along with, or he realizes everything at once in a moment of pure face palm.

    1. Yotomoe

      3, he goes “You’re not my girlfriend, Amber. It’s amazi-girl” because he has rocks for brains.

      1. thecanvashat

        4. And then he says, you can’t be Amazi-Girl, I’m fairly positive that’s me.

        1. Orion Fury

          You found a way around those word filters, I see.

        2. Doctor_Who

          5. He thinks Amber has suffered a blow to the head and THINKS she is Amazi-Girl. He plays along for her safety.

        3. thecanvashat

          6. He runs away, yelling “I’m Lois Lane! I’m Lois Lane!”

        4. Squall

          7. Everyone takes a shot.

        5. PureFedora

          6. Turns out Blaine is Amazi-man, and Danny must join forces with Amber to help her defeat him……. wait where were we going with this?

        6. Rex Hondo

          Continued violence against Blaine, of course. As it should be.

  18. Luzahn

    Danny, quick! Use the ability all humans have to put two and two together! It is your only shot of not ruining everything here.

    1. Yotomoe

      Danny puts 1 and 17 together and gets 303.

      1. Tenn

        And makes some sweet bass lines.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      2+2=5 right?

      1. thecanvashat

        Goodnumber Comrade Big brother doubleplusgoodthink.

        1. The Candyman

          What he said.

  19. The Candyman

    And Amber is walking into the same room her father is in. Absolutely no way that could go wrong.

    1. thecanvashat

      Well, I can’t think of one.

      1. Paul

        I dunno, Danny’s dad has an expression that makes him look ready to *kick ass.*

        1. Squall

          I’m pretty sure Danny might kill Blaine if the opportunity arises.

        2. TacosForever

          That comment presupposes that Danny is good enough in a fight to kill anyone…Not buying it.

        3. Squall

          He might not survive, but he would kill Blaine. I think Danny knows the self-destruct enemy skill.

        4. The Candyman

          He’d be like Chiaotzu in Dragon Ball Z; blowing himself up in an attack that has no effect on the guy he was fighting.

        5. Squall

          Are you saying that Blaine is Nappa? I think you just totally insulted Nappa.

  20. Gottawonder

    And will Danny pick up on this subtle hint? Of course not.

    1. thecanvashat

      “You’re a wizard, Danny.”

      “I’m clearly not. Did you doublecheck the address?”

      1. Doctor_Who

        Loved the Rifftrax of that movie.

        “Yer a wizard, Harry”
        “But I can’t be a wizard…I’m more into Yu-Gi-Oh!”

      2. JBO

        YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!

        now, now I am sure many people are born to a virgin and have unnaturaly high numbers of midichlorians.

        1. thecanvashat

          “If I don’t come back… tell my wife I love her…”

          “You were married?”

        2. Squall

          “Oh no! I just remembered I have to pick up my son from boarding school– seven- years ago…” Oops.

  21. JebJeb

    On the bright side, Danny may finally find his calling as a human shield. Or maybe he’ll fail at that too.

    1. Sammie1053

      Sudden realization: if Blaine punches Danny in the face, this fanbase will be torn asunder by conflicting emotions.

      1. JebJeb

        Torn even more asunder if Danny’s parents actually join in and beat on Blaine as a result… Gonna need popcorn.

    2. Yotomoe

      Blaine tries to punch him and his fist goes through Danny’s face like jello and hits those behind him.

      1. Kernanator

        Wait. You’re saying Danny is Jelly Jiggler?

        1. Yotomoe

          The difference is I like Jelly Jiggler.

    3. JBO

      Well since Danny has no spine he can probably dodge Blaine’s punches Matrix style.

  22. AJBulldis

    Someday a woman will call me that and it not be a joke or ruse, but that day is not today. Or probably tomorrow for that matter.

  23. JBO

    Amber, if you really are in danger just scream it out to him, so he finally gets a clue.

  24. someguywithakatana

    Why is Amber being Joyce?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      My theory: Joyce’s soul was forced out due to her parents insessant hands-on praying and she infested Amber during her moment of emotional weakness.

    2. The Candyman

      I’m still waiting for when Joyce meets Danny in this universe.

      1. timemonkey

        Have they not met at all?

        1. The Candyman

          Not really.

        2. Jon P

          They have, on a few occasions: when Joe tries to get with Joyce while setting Danny up with Sarah and when Amber strolls in on Ethan and Joyce’s double-date. No confirmed dialogue between the two, but they have encountered each other and probably introduced each other off-screen.

  25. The Sound Defense

    Amazi-Girl continues to save the day.

  26. Ace

    This is going to be a painful, painful 24 hours to wait through. Who says you can’t have cliffhangers with a daily update schedule?

    1. Yotomoe

      Very Patient people.

      1. Aizat

        So, people who waited for Duke Nukem Forever then?

        1. Yotomoe

          No…people who waited for “Kirby Return to Dreamland”.

        2. Bill M.

          No… people who waited for Guns ‘n’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy”

          Or is that people who are waiting for actual Chinese democracy?

  27. Lavaticmay

    I called this, just because I know this is Willis’s way of getting the fan base to like Danny, and I applaud him of his clever ways.

    1. Wack'd

      A while back, Willis said this arc contained his favorite Danny stuff he’s ever written, so hopefully it lives up the hype.

      1. Paul

        I’ve never felt the hate for Danny that a lot of the base seems to, even in some of the Roomies! strips where he’s pretty unbearable. In DoA, I’ve found him somewhat likable, if occasionally rather thick.

        I’m crossing my fingers that you’re right, is what I’m saying.

        1. Luzahn

          Yeah, and coming from DoA first as opposed to Roomie, I have to say that I didn’t notice any sort of unpleasantness to Danny.

          He wasn’t a favorite of course, but he still seemed a good character. Sadly going back and reading Roomies poisoned me to him a bit, but with any luck that will pass.

      2. David Willis

        I don’t think I said quite *that*. On the other hand, it’s a low bar.

  28. Vivvav

    AMBER YOU ARE ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE.

    1. Vivvav

      For Danny, that is. This can’t end well for him.

      1. Yotomoe

        Being Danny is punishment in and of itself.

        1. NightmareWarden

          Being Danny is a punishment that only Blaine deserves. Minus the “heavy petting” with Amazi-girl.

  29. ridtom

    Come on Danny this is your chance! KICK BLAINE’S ASS DANNY!

    1. Thor

      Even if Danny vaporized Blaine with a plasma punch, it still wouldn’t be enough to counterbalance the rest of his blah whiny fail of an existence.

      Besides, we all know that if Danny tried to punch Blaine, he would immediately (1) break every bone in his hand, wrist, and arm, and (2) accidentally hit his mom instead and put her into a coma. Danny–he’s just that non-good at life.

  30. ninja_jesus

    :O Is Danny gonna be getting his first Crowning Moment of Awesome? I’m so excited! 😀

    1. timemonkey

      He had his first ages ago when he told of Dorothy and Joe.

      1. The Candyman

        Well, he didn’t really tell off Dorothy so much as force her to choose between herself and her boyfriend in an attempt to salvage his own ego, but whatever.

        1. Greenygal

          Not that scene, this one.

        2. The Candyman

          Oh, yeah.

        3. NightmareWarden

          Oh yeah, that happened…

  31. VizardJeffhog

    Oh god oh god OH GOD

  32. MechaMaidFan7

    DUN DUN DUUUNNNNNNN

  33. Em

    TIME FOR THE BIG REVEAL. Or the “Uh Amber you are so creepy you are not my lover remember Amazi-girl is.” Hopefully he figures it out. That would be lovely.

    1. MechaMaidFan7

      +10000000

  34. NF

    Worst-case scenario here: Blaine spots Amber, runs at her, Billie gets a second wind and is right behind him, and Blaine, Danny, Amber, Billie, and Danny’s parents all collide in a cartoon-ish cloud of violence.

    1. Radiodad

      I think you mean “best-case scenario”.

    2. saltchocolate

      If Willis were a different cartoonist, we’d see in the next strip one of those blurry clouds with Blaine’s bloody lip, Amazi-Girl’s mask, Billie’s thighs, Danny’s father’s fist, and Danny’s confused look, all poking out of the dust of the collision/fight, with “POW” and “$*@(!!!” in bold letters all over it.

      1. John

        And then Blaine sneaks away from the ongoing cloud.

        1. The Candyman

          And Mike throws him back in.

  35. Nym

    Yes, Amber, hide with Danny’s family! Either Blaine won’t see you, or you can throw Danny’s parents at him as a distraction!

    In other things, Billie is looking adorable back there huffing and puffing. Just like, “Okay, he stopped to look around, I can take this moment to catch my breath, then crush his head with style and poise.”

    1. dropded

      My favorite part of today’s strip is Billie’s little out-of-breath ‘cloud’.

  36. EvergreenFir

    Lol who says “lover” anymore

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Besides Faz that is.

      1. EvergreenFir

        oh yeah… there is something creepy about “lover”

        1. Aizat

          I don’t see it. Besides, I think “my pretty” is a lot creepier.

        2. Xavier Nine

          “My preeeeeeeeeeeecious…”

    2. Heavensrun

      She has to be unambiguous in order to insinuate herself into this situation. Especially since it’s Danny. If she says “Hi Danny”, or “Hey, hon!” he’d probably miss the point and send her on her way. So she’s basically broadcasting “Hey, I overheard your conversation with your parents and am coming to your rescue!”

  37. Ryune

    So uh.

    Anyone notice how Danny’s mom kinda looks like Dorothy?

    1. EvergreenFir

      wow yeah

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      Holy former Oedipus Complex Batman!

    3. Valerie

      o_o My mind = blown.

    4. Heavensrun

      Yeah, like in the fact that they…both wear glasses. Seriously, that’s all I’m seeing, guys. The hair is more like -Danny’s-, the face shape is completely different, her nose is bigger, the hair color is obviously not similar, and she wears her glasses lower on her face. I can see the Dorothy-Amber parallel, I am just -not- seeing this one.

      1. The Candyman

        I think Walky’s mom looks more like Joyce, honestly.

        1. The Candyman

          Holy shit, I’m illiterate.

    5. Biege

      not in the slightest. they both wear glasses, but besides that they have entirely different hairstyles, hair color, body builds, face shape etc. even the glasses are a different style

      so if everyone wearing glasses looks like dorothy, I proposit that Blaine must as well by that logic.

  38. Fuzzydaemon

    I am not expecting Danny to be full of win tomorrow.

  39. Fuzzydaemon

    Omg! I missed that. Danny has an Electra complex!

    1. EvergreenFir

      You mean Oedipus complex?

      1. John

        No. He has a thing for girl ninjas.

  40. Fuzzydaemon

    I stand corrected.

  41. Norj

    Make yourself useful Danny.

  42. Baker

    “Oh, hey honey what a surprise! You told me you were going to be on that no tech camping trip for the weekend. Couldn’t go through with leaving your smart phone and computer behind for a couple days after all huh?” “Sorry I didn’t just tell you guys, I promised her I wasn’t going to tell anyone about it since she was pretty embarrassed about detoxing her tech addiction.”

    Just be smooth for ONCE Danny, please.

    Also is she really attempting an identity reveal here? Why would she really need to, even as Danny’s friend he’s nice enough to keep her crazy dad away from her if she just asks.

  43. Varangian

    DANNY

    DO THE RIGHT THING DANNY

    I HAVE ROOTED FOR YOU NOW PROVE YOURSELF

    1. Leonou

      Don’t worry Varangian, we won’t make fun of you for having hopes for Danny

      ….

      well not after the initial response of mocking and pointing.

      1. Eebiot

        BWAHAH…. Was that out loud?

  44. AgentKeen

    Oh, hey, there’s a little bit of the funny I was missing. Y’know, buried underneath all the crippling negative emotions, but it’s there.

    1. Kernanator

      AgentKeen, the funny was inside you all along.

      1. TheKelliestKelly

        So, in other words, it was an inside joke

        1. David Willis

          +1

        2. Kernanator

          Ooo, well played.

        3. Squall

          It’s a good thing AgentKeen kept the funny inside. Funnyboners are kind of innapropriate to whit out all the time.

        4. Jackson

          The funny is coming from inside the AgentKeen!

  45. Robin

    I almost called it!

    … yeah, that doesn’t mean anything, does it?

  46. David

    “Well Danny, it’s so thoughtful of you that you wanted to avoid our first impression of your girlfriend to be her crossing fists with her father. But rest assured, we can think of no better match for you. She can give you so much that you have not been getting from us.”

  47. SHAZAM

    Until I got to the comments I completely forgot Danyy was dating Amazi-girl rather than Amber

  48. Dudeface

    /trexarmsflail

  49. Jackson

    Amber, you are the girlfriend Danny needs, not the one he deserves.

    1. shadow eagle

      couldnt of said it better myself… – GO AMBER!

  50. Nick

    Prediction: Amber realizes that Danny is a complete idiot and finds a way to subtly give him the mask.

    Also, since this is my first comment, i must say well done Willis.

  51. Just for kix

    So … how is Danny going to screw this one up?

  52. Syhkane

    The third panel looks very pixelated.

  53. Charlie Spencer

    Okay, did I miss the explanation of how A-Girl doesn’t need Amber’s glasses?

    1. Anna1090

      http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=1044

      So, I suppose she does need them, but doesn’t wear them?

      1. David Willis

        Shortpacked! Amber is older and her eyesight is worse. DoA Amber merely has astigmatism, which means she’s not great at reading things without her glasses, but could navigate without them.

        1. David

          One usually neither needs nor wants saucer-size glasses for astigmatism. I was rather hoping that as a true superhero, she has the skills to sew parts of old glasses into her mask. Of course, this fantasy suffers a bit from the additional level of morosity required for Danny in order not to notice. But then there’s plenty of that around.

    2. The Candyman

      I assumed contacts.

      1. Charlie Spencer

        Then why would Amber put her glasses back on in panel two? Unless she wears the contacts all the time and is using ‘Clark Kents’ with no prescription. The last couple of days give me the impression that she and A-Girl aren’t on each other’s speed dial, so I don’t think Amber would go to that trouble.

    3. Jonathan S.

      When she was putting the mask on the other day, it looked to me like there were lenses in the eyeholes.

      1. Charlie Spencer

        Good eye! Two days ago, panel 6.

        Thanks; now I can sleep this weekend.

  54. Michael

    *Amber walks in* “Hey Danny, wanna fuck?”
    *Danny punches Amber in the face* “Let’s go…” *Danny leaps on Amber, both go ofscreen, fade to black*

    1. Doom Shepherd

      Danny as Kinzie? Eww!

      1. Michael

        Oh my god someone got the reference. Ten clusters to you!

  55. Valerie

    What exactly is the plan here? Is she just trying to blend in with the crowd to hide from her dad? Does she think that being around other people will stop him?

    I’m sure she’s not depending on Danny to help her fight. He’s… not much of a fighter, I think.

    1. David

      I don’t think she is banking as much on Danny as rather on his parents wanting a chance at getting to know his girlfriend before she is killed by her father. Amber already knows that Danny is too stupid to know Amazigirl from a piece of brick wall, and that’s what’s going to save Amazigirl’s identity after his parents defend her.

      Frankly, Billy is probably the worst person to have around in case she does blow her identity.

    2. Biege

      I think she’s more trying to have fun with her boyfreind to try and forget the horrible day so far than anything related to Blaine.

    3. Jack Finch

      She’s too emotionally flooded to have a plan. I think she’s just running away from whatever scares here the most at the moment.

  56. Sir Robin

    Ok, I think this is where Danny will either step up and become awesome, or seriously mess things up

  57. Crumplepunch

    Too many stairs for Billie.

    1. Kernanator

      Billie is the Dragon(s) Warrior.

  58. quietlythundering

    Oh man, I can’t wait for tomorrow’s strip! This is gonna be good XD

  59. mister gray

    Oh no her cover is blown!

  60. Ivresse

    I’m finding it very hard to imagine her saying ‘Hey, lover’ without a West Country accent…probably just me…

  61. Kevin

    I’m still reeling from the reveal that Amber is the Lone Ranger… I wonder if she’ll ever team up with Amazigirl

    I want to ask if someone can explain the *car thing to me but I’m afraid I’ll get in trouble

    1. Biege

      Ultra-Car is a character from shortpacked, who rather frequently cosplays as a car version of spiderman.

      and Robin has been known to accuse amber of being spider-car whenever he does so.

      the more you know

      1. Biege

        well darn, I undersetimated Willis’ censoring there.

        good show, sir.

        1. The Candyman

          I’m still wondering why he felt the need to censor it in the first place.

        2. David Willis

          Because people are jerks and won’t listen to me when I tell them not to do something very friggin’ simple.

        3. The Candyman

          I guess there really are reasons why people can’t have nice things.

        4. xain

          its very simple willis you tell people not to talk about pink elephants and all of a sudden its the only subject they can think about

        5. David Willis

          It’s not like they *started* when I asked them not to. I was cleaning out “Ultra Car” posts the week leading up to it, too.

        6. Sir Robin

          Spider-Car is censored?

        7. Sir Robin

          So it is, strange, I can’t imagine that character showing up here

        8. Rex Hondo

          If she does show up, it’ll be riding a dead horse.

  62. Sir Robin

    Dammit Billie, he’s right there, get him

    1. Rex Hondo

      Take a closer look. She’s revving up her freeze breath. Her “love handles” are just where she had the freon tanks installed.

  63. Darth Cariss

    Why does Amber have tiny black dot eyes without her glasses but as Amazi-Girl wearing the mask thing she has big white eyes?

    1. Rex Hondo

      For the same reason Batman has black makeup around his eyes in-mask that disappears when he takes the mask off.

  64. Aeyt

    WHAT!!!!!!!!?
