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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
“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?”
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.
BOOBHAT
Not quite as convenient as the condom cap, but much squishier.
Boobhat is the best for survivor automobile and motorcycle crashes.
A Real Man™ would stand erect for days if it meant getting SkullBoob®.
Actually if you stand erect for days you need to check it to your local doctor immediately….
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.
Ok I’ll bite, what is THE best headwear ever?
I’m pretty sure we are looking at it.
YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR!
Alas, Mr. Goatee Graffiti still got a better deal, what with all of the Amazi-Package in his FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.
Well, I’m an ass man myself so I prefer ASSHA…. nevermind.
Lucky Danny. He’s in an Amazi-Vice.
If you tighten the bottom nut enough, it might just stay upright anyway.
That’s what she sai-
Actually that sounds too painful to be what she said.
Was that S&M advice or road sign repair?
YES!
I don’t think that I want to know.
Usually when tightening and bottom nuts are involved it’s a Saturday night.
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!
Basically sums up my life
You have boobs resting on your head recently? LUCKY!
No. Raibean is just an upside down Dead End sign.
A Live Beginning?
“Many people drove off the road today, perplexed by the sign ‘DNE DAED’.”
Oddly enough, I learnt how to read up-side-down English in school.
puǝ pɐǝp
HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?
WITCH! SHE’S A WITCH I TELL YOU!
But does she weigh the same as a duck?
I think Scott is a guy … so he’s a WIZARD!!!!! A WIZARD DID IT!
You’re a wizard Scotty.
Gave a whole new meaning for the phrase “Beam me up Scotty!”

ANOTHER WITCH!! PREPARE THE TORCHES!
And remember, the one burning the most witches is to be the new king !
Or queen. This is an equal-opportunist monarchy.

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.
Amber sure is doing a good job at maintaining her Amazi-girl voice throughout all of this.
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!“
I see my second set of bold tags vanished, and yet didn’t take effect. Odd.
They got lost in the TARDIS.
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.
Maybe…maybe the Amazi-Girl voice is the ‘real’ voice and the Amber voice is the facade.
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……
damn you!! learn to use spoiler tags will you!!! D:<<
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.
Or maybe he just want to avoid possible surveillance camera and recording device planted by the enemies.
I always assumed it was some feature built into the suit. That way he doesn’t have to worry about remembering to do it.
Amazi-girl is getting her buxom all over Danny.
PS: What is the meaning of the hover text?
Flip over your monitor and read it.
Now I feel silly for googling it.
It’s upside down, just like the sign!
Read it upside-down. And then be underwhelmed by what it says.
I believe the hover text is supposed to look like the phrase “dead end” upside down.
Danny would probably be steadier if he had a spine.
Are any kind of muscle.
Beat me to it.
Some personality might help, too.
Maybe add a range of facial expressions ?
Danny has a plethora of facial expressions! There’s that one he makes when he’s whining… Um… Shit…
Well, he could always float her on his good intentions.
So is that what you call it? I have heard many pet names, but that is a new one.
Danny needs to stand closer to the pole, perhaps to use the pole to hold him up while he holds her up.
Or at least do a little dance on it to make her feel better.
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.
Well the Mazurek does involve a lot of movement but is quite lively.
Maybe it would help if he faced the other way while holding her up.
Signs and Portents of things to come?
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*
…I couldn’t. 🙁
(See above.)
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 !
How long can Amazi-Girl keep up that voice? Does she gargle gravel every few minutes?
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Quick Danny! My voice is going! Give me your gravel!
Go on! the camera is rolling!
Camera-man, superhero that always appear when in your most unfortunate moment or sexual event!
Sorry I’m everywhere over this comic right now, but is that a new DoA banner at the top I’m seeing?
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.
Funny enough the ad I got with this strip was about arrest records being made public. XD
I suppose that sign looks proper if you were in an airplane coming straight down onto that area.
Or if you walk on your hands everywhere.
Or if you’re Derpy.
IF ONE IS TRULY A MAN, HE DOES NOT FALTER WHEN A WOMAN’S BREASTS ARE ON HIS HEAD!!!
Best avatar for statement?
Best avatar for statement.
…Close enough!
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.
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.
Are you talking about the boobs on his fAAAAAAAAAce ?
No, the ones on his HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD but actually nowhere near his FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.
HER BOOBS ARE ON HIS HEEEEEAAAAD!
Since we already brought batman into the discussion further up.
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.
You missed ta-tas, hooties, gazongas, and my personal favorite, sweater kittens.
I’ve heard that as sweater puppies. Maybe it depends on whether the speaker is a cat person.
Or if the boobage has claws?
http://www.spaff.com/poesy/boobs.html
Because you missed most of 99 words for boobs.
Am I allowed to bring in German ones as well?
the more you set up these adorable couples the more i’m terrified of when you inevitably start smashing them apart
probably with each other.
Know we know why the Decepticon Dead End is so depressed.
He came across this sign.
Bet the police will come and mistake them for thieves
Boobhat!
Next
Boobfaceplant!
The more I look at the first panel, the more Danny looks like Joyce.
I don’t know what this says about me.
It means that you need to go to bed.
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.
*here even
Good to know now I’m making suggestive/strange typos and it’s not even 10PM yet.
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.”
Or it could just be that it was a Dead End sign. 😛
Sometimes a cigar is just a phallus you use to sex up an intern.
Wait, what was I talking about again?
The Magna Charta.
I’ve put together next week’s comic.
I mean tomorrow’s.
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.
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.
…Wait. If she can’t put the sign up herself, how the hell did she take it down in the first place?
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
Yeah, my first thought was, “Waitaminute, didn’t she take that down by herself?”
nobody actually reads this comic
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!!
This looks like a job for… Amazi-stool!
I can’t believe nobody has said this yet.
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.
She undid it while sitting on the shoulders of one of the vandals.
Turns out vandals are resistant to her super-boob powers.
Did you forget about the super-closeup panel of her undoing one of the nuts with a wrench she conveniently happened to have??
The guy she was using for a ladder before was a vertebrate.
Burn!
Boobs on head. That is all.
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!”
Also: “Polishing her sign” (“Wiping”? “Cleaning”?)
At the very least “She did mount me.”
Ah a Super Hero defeated by it’s oldest foe: the laws of physics
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.
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.
I’m suddenly reminded of Quantum & Woody.
I guess these two never heard of an Amazi-Ladder? LoLz
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.
Amazi-Girl is Noelle?
I mean, uh… sorry, twelve-year-old Avalon in-joke flashback. Nothing to see here. Move along.
What is sorry is that I actually got that joke.
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.
“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?”
See now, that’s the kind of dedication-to-vandalism I’ve come to expect of engineering students of major universities.
“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?”
Seeing this comic reminds me of a very good reason I should get back into the dating scene… 🙂
Seriously, haven’t the original vandals tagged like 20 signs while this is going on?
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.
Or some pushy reporter will want to interview him.
…Or some pushy reporter dressed as Cheerleader kidnaps him.
Billie will want Danny to arrange for her to meet with Amazi-Girl.
For… journalism.
