His superpower will be that he actually tries to be a supervillain, because I’ll show ’em, but constantly thwarts his fellow supervillains’ schemes by danning them up.
yes but that’s int not wis. int is great for rogues cause of the extra skill points. but can’t think of wis being useful for a rogue for much much other than will saves. it’s definitely a decent dump stat choice.
This phone is just useless as shit…it will correct me on every else but when really need it to help it fucks me ,know what ….fuck it ,fuck it,FUCK IT IM DONE!!!
That’s what I turned off.
Trust me, it’s only right every tenth time. It gets very annoying, especially if you use the same letter, and it auto-completes the word.
By optional auto-complete I mean like what Google has where it shows you a list of possible words you want and if you want to, you can just highligh the word to auto-complete it.
But on the bright side, if she broke something it’d probably be enough to finally put an end to all this nonsense and maybe get her some professional help for her anger issues and some therapy for her abusive childhood, instead of using shitty outlets like Amazi-Girl.
So while I’m not outright hoping she’ll break her hands, I can see the possible benefits.
There’s only so much shit you can throw onto a pile before it collapses. Maybe what Amber needs is something to drive her over the edge and bring her issues out into the light where she can acknowledge them and say, “I need someone to help me with this.”
This doesn’t seem like something you’d just do on the fly without having practiced it a bunch first, but then judging by the sounds she’s making it’s pretty difficult/painful for her to do. Hmm.
Yup. They could as other stated because of their superpowers.
Here let Walky and Joice demonstrate it with “dancing”: http://www.itswalky.com/d/20021023.html
It’s not the first time, either. When she stopped the two guys from tagging the sign by climbing up on one of them and removing it, they accused her of vandalism — her response was “It’s also theft. So call a cop”.
I realize irony doesn’t always translate well to print (seriously, dig up Jonathan Swift and ask him) but I continue to be amazed how a medium that seemingly prides itself on irony and snark (the average online comment section) utterly fails to “get” irony when it’s presented. Then again, I think the same thing of MAD Magazine, even in its heyday.
Danny is enjoying his superhero fantasy with Amazi-Girl, but Dorothy has the Catwoman/Black Cat rivalry thing going on and she’s the Lois Lane reporter type. Clearly she is much more suited to Amber.
S.H. Figuarts is a line by Bandai of hyper detailed, high articulation action figures of Sentai (Japanese Power Rangers), Kamen Riders (imagine one member of a Power Rangers team, but with multiple powers and usually a motorbike) and other properties. They are currently releasing the Sailor Scouts and have sold Moon and Mercury. Mars is next. Use figuarts on an ebay search and you’ll see examples.
Ok, maybe it’s just the perspective, but she looks to have jumped about 15 feet back off the wall and about 10 feet up it. Sorry, Dotty, but I don’t think you’ll catch spiderman.
I never going to understood that obssesion about finding about harrasing the superhero to give interviews or his/hee secret identidy; like kids, maybe Amazing Girl has her reasons to remain mysterious for a reason?
Right? Don’t they realize how wrecked she would be if everybody found out? Even if it wasn’t Amber, it’s not really cool to be going and poking around in people’s private lives. Especially if they’re awesome crime fighters who are making the world a better place one fantastic at a time.
This is not vigilantism like breaking down a cell door, dragging someone outside, and lynching him/her. Except for her first appearances when she rescued Danny from the upperclassmen — and that could be considered legitimate use of force in defense of someone else — I don’t think she has actually laid a glove on anybody in anger.
I’m confused. You say in the alt text that Walky can’t do that but Amber can. I’ve scanned the entire comic several times and I can’t see Amber anywhere.
*facepalm* Danny, you idiot. If only you knew. She has her issues but she’s a good girl. AND she can move like that? Priceless. And now, in your grand ignorance even though some of the things he said should’ve at least raised a yellow flag, you’ll shortly be leading her abusive, emotionally crippled father from whom she dramatically escaped right back to her. It’s a train wreck I can’t look away from.
I’m thinking this is more of a “Danny gets spotted hanging out w/ villains” day. I’m thinking the chase scene is going to lead to Danny & Daddy. Will she double back when she spots them? Will they spot her? Will she evade the intrepid reporters if she doubles back?
Those are open questions, but Danny can’t lure Amber to her father if Amber isn’t to be found. Since she can’t switch identities, this seems more probable to me. (Not to mention I think it would be funny.)
Yes, we already know that DoA is a ‘crazy universe’ per the hovertext.
Great flip Amazi-girl, I do hope you have a good landing. But with Willis…
Only thing, I still think she screwed up by not grabbing Dorothy’s cell phone, instead of the cutter. But then, her pics are still ‘out there’ so would make little difference.
Hope she remembers to throw away the sneaker than matches the one Dorothy got.
Yeah, yeah, everyone’s real impressed with the acrobatics and everything. What I want to know is how she finds time to raid with all this derring-do! On top of that, she somehow carves out hours for Danny and whatever physical conditioning is necessary for all of this. Her schedule has to be packed.
At least it explains why she’s wasting her time on a compsci degree instead of actually attending classes that might teach her something.
Sweet I just found the hidden alt text link spot. noe.I can read the.alt.text on my android phone
Granted this might be old news, but considering the spot is just a blank space I had no reason to click it until I did by accident while trying to enlarge the comments.
I’ve got a Samsung Charge and it’s the blank spot under the last panel. Look for the ‘latest’ button and click the empty spot beside that under the last panel.
Dorothy. She wants to go to Yale and then later become the president of the United States.
She also goes around harassing weirdo girls dressed in superhero uniforms for an interview.
I don’t know if I’m more impressed by the acrobatics or by the fact that she had the presence of mind to grab the cutter. This bike thief will not be getting away with anything just because she had to make an early exit!
In the other universe, there’s supernatural stuff always right there in the background, even when we’re just following a toy store.
In this universe, it seems like there aren’t really any supernatural elements… except Amber. She’s done some stuff that I wouldn’t expect a woman of her size and frame to be able to do. Am I misreading this?
…okay, this has been bugging the crap out of me, how on Earth can se do stuff like this? The only excersize we’ve seen her get is for her thumbs when she’s playing video games.
It may be part mental conditioning. It just depends on how separate a personality Amazi-Girl is from Amber.
I think it’s safe to say (Willis please correct me if I’m way off base) Amber’s mental mindset is that as AG she can do anything she needs to do to stop crime. Thus it’s her will helping her pull out stunts like this that-as Amber- she would be hard pressed to do.
Granted, she would normally need to be top physical shape to do this all the time. But as an occasional exertion her current physical condition plus mental mindset as “I’m Amazi-Girl and this is nothing” might be enough to get by.
If you’ve got a core set of skills, you can sometimes call them up into play on a short-term basis in the case of emergency. And remember, when Dorothy claimed that she had been a cross-country start in high school Amazi-Girl countered that by admitting that she had a background as a track-and-field athlete — while hurdling a fairly high hedge at the time.
Unless Amazi-Girl was a distance or steeplechase runner her best bet is to get away quick and find a hidey-hole, because if it comes to a long drawn-out rundown I think Dorothy’s endurance as a cross-country runner would be the difference.
That is damned impressive.
That said, I’m thinking that she’s going to be really sore and moving quite slowly the next day. I agree with the earlier posters that she may be able to execute that move, but it ain’t easy and there will be consequences later.
ok seriously everyone going BUT HER WRISTS or SHE SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO DO THAT needs to shut the hell up. I’m positive were Amber a guy no one would be questioning his ability to do this.
It’s funny because I’m a girl. Oh wait nevermind, that doesn’t mean I can’t be a men’s rights activist sexist.
But still.
Looking at this comic.
Seeing the slightly chubby nerd girl doing a backflip.
Thinking real hard.
Sexism is the last thing that would come to mind.
If Amber were a boy/transgender/transsexual/hermaphrodite/pangender/androgyn with the same physical structure I would still question his/her/xyr/zir/hir/eir/vis/nir ability to pull this off.
Turns out, hey, you can have muscle and power, even under a rounder frame. And for some people, no matter how much you work out, that shape doesn’t go away. You can be in amazing shape and still have flab. (You can also have no flab and be in terrible shape.)
also i have edited your list of things to remove stuff i understand to be insulting terminology, though the whole thing really reads as patronizing
That’s interesting. But I assume these people have been practicing a lot which we’ve never seen Amber do, though that doesn’t mean she didn’t. But that wasn’t even the point of my post.
I just wanted to emphasize that it is not because of the character’s gender that people are questioning the possibility of the backflip successfully happening, as how Kole above was suspecting.
ANYONE who can pull that shit off needs to practice a lot to do it. The fact that you feel the need to insult a plethora of identities to try and make an idiotic point underlines my own.
And yet when a guy pulls this shit off, we read the goddam subtext- that they’ve obviously had practice to do it. But if they’re chubby? Or a woman? We don’t read that implied subtext anymore and suddenly go “WAIT BUT THE ONLY CARTOON CHUBBY PEOPLE I’VE EVER SEEN EAT DONUTS AND ARE THE BUTT OF FAT JOKES LMAO!! I SUDDENLY NEED NOTARIZED DOCUMENTATION AS PROOF OF THEM PRACTICING THESE THINGS OR IT’S GOING TO HINDER MY ABILITY TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF!!”
Oh so it’s about discrimination towards overweight people too. Alright.
You see, Kole, The world is a shitty place where people generalize and use stereotypes in order to understand the things around them. When you see a kind of chubby girl of whom all previous portayals only showed her being slightly reserved and playing video games you sort of come to the conclusion that she isn’t doing much excercise.
Yeah that sucks. Fuck the world.
And no. When a nerdy chubby guy does this, there’s no implied subtext. If a not-chubby girl does this, there might be subtext, so would be if a not-chubby guy did it. Because people are awful. But it’s really not about her gender. It’s about her being a fat nerd. Nobody looks at this anfd thinks “if Amber had a penis this would be normal”. No. This is just you. You are special. Congratulations.
And I don’t understand what you found offensive in that post, but I apologize.
It’s not her sex or physical structure that’s problematic. It’s her hand position. In fact, her wrists aren’t even in the greatest danger here; her skull is. Her hands should be turned around the other way, to offer maximum skeletal support. It’s not an issue of strength or size, it’s an issue of proper back handspring technique.
Loading ...
She played a lot of Mirror’s Edge, Dotty
Too bad she’ll never beat this campus’ time trial. Friggin bridge jump.
I have faith in Amazi-Girl’s skill.
I believe in Amazi-Girl.
I don’t think you understood the joke.
I think you underestimate Amazi-girl’s ability to manage the bridge jump.
Appropriate avatar is appropriate.
She’s practicing for the sequel.
I hope the sequel is at Charter. If she doesn’t go to Charter… please, someone make her get help somewhere.
Oh wow, I remember those Charter ads. I thought that was only here in Atlanta…
Holy Shit Amber!
Amber can PARKOUR!
Well sure Amber can, but what does that have to do with Amazi-Girl?
That’s not funny anymore.
Tell that to the thirteen other people who made that joke on this page!
Yeah, why can’t people understand that Faz is Amazi-Girl?
See BassBone’s comment.
Confirmed funny by Willis!
And Amber then breaks her back, such a sad ending 🙁
I’m more expecting her fingers or wrists to break.
I’m expecting the Amazi-boobs to start being affected by gravity, and smack her in the face.
The Amazi-bra is likely modified to prevent that.
carlos danger is that you
Danger’s my middle name, not my last name!
Her amazi-tits defy gravity.
Which qualifies them as an example of Most Common (Female) Superpower which is large gravity-defying chest puppies.
Power Girl would be happy then?
Amber will die, and then Danny will try to become a superhero in her memory. Ultra-Dude?
Heh. More like Cluelessman.
I think you want the next universe over.
his super power, the ability to completely screw things up and not notice when crimes are happening even if they’re blatantly obvious
His superpower will be that he actually tries to be a supervillain, because I’ll show ’em, but constantly thwarts his fellow supervillains’ schemes by danning them up.
She should be pretty easy to follow this time.
Parkour! I didn’t know she could do that.
No heroine worth her salt could call herself one without the parkour skill set.
She totally leveled up her parkour skillset in customization.
She maxed out her Agility stats.
She should have put some points towards her WIS stat.
But Amazi-Girl’s more or less a Rogue, right?
Rogues need smarts too
yes but that’s int not wis. int is great for rogues cause of the extra skill points. but can’t think of wis being useful for a rogue for much much other than will saves. it’s definitely a decent dump stat choice.
A real-life high WIS allows people to make better choices in life.
What is a WIS stat?
I assume that’s short for “wisdom.”
you would be assuming correctly, willis.
or it measures your knowledge of Wisconsin.
Oh, then i must have used that as a dump stat.
All i know is that the state has cheese. Lots and lots of cheese.
WIS = Wisdom
STR = Strength
CON = Constitution(Health)
INT = Intelligence
CHA = Charisma
DEX = Dexterity
If that’s supposed to spell ‘Shazam” Plasma, it’s not quite there yet.
Becoming a rogue can arguably be said to imply poor life choices in the first place.
Having just binge-read It’s Walky! again, I can proudly say that the I thought of the title text before I read it :3
She would make a better cheerleader now than Billie can ever hope to be.
Hope nobody tells Billie that it would brake her
Did you mean break?
Nope, it would bring Billie to a complete stop.
When you put it that way, it makes more sense.
But would it send her in reverse?
Only if she sticks the landing.
This phone is just useless as shit…it will correct me on every else but when really need it to help it fucks me ,know what ….fuck it ,fuck it,FUCK IT IM DONE!!!
Makes me glad that I have a PC.
I spell check whenever I use my phone.
I use an ipad. It can be just as bad.
SO I TURNED IT OFF!
It would be better if it had some kind of optional auto-complete as you typed instead.
That’s what I turned off.
Trust me, it’s only right every tenth time. It gets very annoying, especially if you use the same letter, and it auto-completes the word.
By optional auto-complete I mean like what Google has where it shows you a list of possible words you want and if you want to, you can just highligh the word to auto-complete it.
Oh god, if she breaks a wrist (or both) I will burst into tears. Amber needs a cuddle, not more crap.
That’s not Amber. That’s AMAZI-GIRL.
Tell that to the alt-text.
Amazi-Girl is immune to alt-text
Nah, that just says that Amber can do that. To assume just from that that she’s Amazi-girl is utterly ridiculous.
You couldn’t just leave it at “ridiculous?” You had to bring adverbs into this?
Adverbs are utterly necessary.
very very necessary lolly lolly lolly get your adverbs here
maybe the suit gives her superpowers, wouldn’t be the first object/costume to give the wearer abilities
Like in The Greatest American Hero?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb4C7vSByMM
God I loved that show. Part of me would love to see a remake done seriously, but so scared it’d be worse than a Sci-Fi original movie.
Or Empowered?
But hugging Amazi-Girl might result in more broken wrists.
You can only break 2 wrists until you run out of wrists, so it’s all good.
Not if you borrow some
She can break two of her own wrists, and then two of yours, and then…
You might be able to only break two. But that doesn’t mean the rest of the world is.
That’s just the wrist you have to take in this line of work.
Amazi-Girl hugs could be udderly necessary.
I’m not sure if that was a typo or a boob joke. One never can tell in the DoA comments.
But on the bright side, if she broke something it’d probably be enough to finally put an end to all this nonsense and maybe get her some professional help for her anger issues and some therapy for her abusive childhood, instead of using shitty outlets like Amazi-Girl.
So while I’m not outright hoping she’ll break her hands, I can see the possible benefits.
Or it could add to the pile of bad things which is currently rising rapidly and seems likely to start driving her insane by the end of the day.
There’s only so much shit you can throw onto a pile before it collapses. Maybe what Amber needs is something to drive her over the edge and bring her issues out into the light where she can acknowledge them and say, “I need someone to help me with this.”
That’s what I’m sayin’
This doesn’t seem like something you’d just do on the fly without having practiced it a bunch first, but then judging by the sounds she’s making it’s pretty difficult/painful for her to do. Hmm.
Can’t be both? Just because she’s practiced doesn’t mean it’s suddenly the easiest thing in the world.
Yeah but that backflip do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiBBHihXbQ4
I can’t be the only one with this in my head at the last panel.
I was thinking more of this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85xMRa5UqgQ
I was thinking along the lines of this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v08Qfrj07jA
Nonononononono, there is but one proper foot-chase theme song, and it goes thusly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p13yZAjhU0M
you are all incorrect.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg
and also welcome. 🙂
I was thinking more this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EaRHlo4B0Y
No, no, I think you guys mean this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Fyb7loyyQ
Okay, maybe she IS Batman after all…
Just without the dead parents thing.
“I WISH MY PARENTS WERE DEAAAAAAAD!”
“OR, JUST ONE OF THEM REAAAAAALLY!”
WALKY: “What makes you so different from us?”
AMAZI-GIRL (in reverse text): “I’m not wearing pajama jeans.”
I applaud you for this.
Wait, Walky could do that in other universes?
That and much more! In the Walkyverse, he’s pretty much superhuman, along with Joyce, Joe, Dina and others.
Well, okay, Joe and Dina couldn’t really do any of the cool acrobatics, but they had super-smarts.
I always figured they probably could, they were just too smart to get into situations where they needed to.
Yeah. So could Joyce. The impressive part is that Amber can do it without alien-enhanced super-strength/speed/agility.
Dorothy could too, by the end.
Or so you believe.
Yup. They could as other stated because of their superpowers.
Here let Walky and Joice demonstrate it with “dancing”:
http://www.itswalky.com/d/20021023.html
“SHE STOLE MY CUTTER!” says the guy who was using them to steal a bike.
Yeah, that’s a pretty audacious thing to shout out, as you stand by the bike rack. I’m sure everyone will be eager to help you out, unnamed thief.
It’s like the man who murdered his own parents for the inheritance, then asked for lienency on the grounds he was an orphan.
That’s yer basic ironical-type joke there.
It’s not the first time, either. When she stopped the two guys from tagging the sign by climbing up on one of them and removing it, they accused her of vandalism — her response was “It’s also theft. So call a cop”.
I realize irony doesn’t always translate well to print (seriously, dig up Jonathan Swift and ask him) but I continue to be amazed how a medium that seemingly prides itself on irony and snark (the average online comment section) utterly fails to “get” irony when it’s presented. Then again, I think the same thing of MAD Magazine, even in its heyday.
Danny is enjoying his superhero fantasy with Amazi-Girl, but Dorothy has the Catwoman/Black Cat rivalry thing going on and she’s the Lois Lane reporter type. Clearly she is much more suited to Amber.
LET THERE BE LESBIANS.
A single bottle of either blonde or brown hair dye and there’d be two identical super lesbians running amok.
I dunno, every time Dorothy and Amber end up on the same page it seems like Dorothy gets a little thinner.
Given the vast difference in the amount of physical activity each of them gets, you’d think that would go the other way.
I would want to see this just to see Danny’s brain explode.
Dorothy doesn’t look like the hardcore free running type, this wont last long
She was the star of her cross country team in high school. Stated in a page actually called ‘cross country’.
I thought she was track, Amber was cross country?
See Cross country, assuming I got the link right.
Opposite way round. Dorothy was cross country, Amber was track and field.
That can’t be good for her wrist.
Seriously Dotty? You think you can corner a hero?
she’s obviously never read a comic book. The hero always finds a way to get away, secret identity intact
She does read comic books. Except Dexter and Monkey Master doesn’t exactly have a hero.
No one will ever realize that Dexter is actually the Head Alien!
Nope. Head Alien is Sinister. Just look at the name, the only way he could more obviously be a bad guy is if they called him “vizier”.
He was Sinister at first, but then he got mirror-flipped, because of the Reasons, so we started calling him “Dexter”.
It’s just Dot. Call her Dotty and you die.
Tell that to Roger Smith.
I been calling her Dotty since I started commenting in DoA back in 2011.
Considering they couldn’t lead her to an area where two walls meet, no.
well colour me impressed. Dang, Amber.
Amazi-girl is amazing.
Amazi-Girl is immune to criticism.
And is very acrobatic.
She rolled high on her Acrobatics check.
Clearly Amber has learned from Ling Xiaoyu.
Or Ryu Hayabusa.
Possibly Master Asia, the Undefeated of the East. Although, Amber hasnt cut giant robots in half with a scarf or whatever. YET.
The sad thing is we’ll probably see Figuarts Amazi-Girl for sale before we get Master Asia or Rain.
But dear Primus I would buy the hell out of Figuarts Amazi-Girl.
Heck, I’d import it if they made both of them.
We got Domon, but that was as far as Bandai went with G Gundam so far.
What is Figuart? Do they models or actual action figures of Characters? I only just started watching G Gundam again.
S.H. Figuarts is a line by Bandai of hyper detailed, high articulation action figures of Sentai (Japanese Power Rangers), Kamen Riders (imagine one member of a Power Rangers team, but with multiple powers and usually a motorbike) and other properties. They are currently releasing the Sailor Scouts and have sold Moon and Mercury. Mars is next. Use figuarts on an ebay search and you’ll see examples.
Now I’m trying to imagine Amber and Danny doing the Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken. It… it just doesn’t work.
Admittedly, neither does the Amber/Mike Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken, but at least that mental image is amusing.
yea, those pairs are a little bit of a stretch.
Sei and China from Gundam Build Fighters works well I think. And I’m sure the yaoi fans are shipping Sei and Reiji in the same instance as well.
Hey, I started a reply chain. Sweet.
Amazi-Girl trained to be the best at everything. Yes, even DDR and Mario games.
But is she good in Dark Souls?
This may be a comic, but it’s not unrealistic
nobody is good at dark souls.
Lots of people are, they’re the jerks who are lag stabbing you.
She sucks less in Dark Souls than anyone els in the world!
Yes, but can she breathe in space?
gosh this sure would be a handy time to have some, oh, i dunno, alien-implanted superpowers or something
No, Walky! Hold on to the shoe!
Without the shoe, he won’t be able to suss out her identity, Cinderella-style!
Throw it at the back of Ruth’s head and then wait to see who turns up without femurs!
HO DAMMMMMN.
Should’ve invested in some smoke bombs.
Oh God she’s gonna hurt herself @x@
Ok, maybe it’s just the perspective, but she looks to have jumped about 15 feet back off the wall and about 10 feet up it. Sorry, Dotty, but I don’t think you’ll catch spiderman.
I never going to understood that obssesion about finding about harrasing the superhero to give interviews or his/hee secret identidy; like kids, maybe Amazing Girl has her reasons to remain mysterious for a reason?
Right? Don’t they realize how wrecked she would be if everybody found out? Even if it wasn’t Amber, it’s not really cool to be going and poking around in people’s private lives. Especially if they’re awesome crime fighters who are making the world a better place one fantastic at a time.
Vigilantism is still illegal last time I checked. Just saying.
So? Cops do illegal things all the time, and they help far fewer people than we’ve seen Amazi-girl help.
Right on. Legality has nothing at all to do with anything.
And Cowboy justice is totally the solution.
I will either agree or disagree with this depending on if it’s sarcasm.
Considering we haven’t SEEN any cops in story, how is that applicable?
This is not vigilantism like breaking down a cell door, dragging someone outside, and lynching him/her. Except for her first appearances when she rescued Danny from the upperclassmen — and that could be considered legitimate use of force in defense of someone else — I don’t think she has actually laid a glove on anybody in anger.
Well, there were a couple of frames of her in the background at the off-campus house party where Joyce got roofied, but we never did get an explanation as to what was going on there. Maybe they wanted to do some dwarf-tossing and tried to use Amazi-girl?
That’s the thing about journalists, you gotta tell the story
Behold, why I never went into journalism!
I don’t think Dorothy actually would try to ask her name. She’d be interested in the same stuff she’s already told Danny, probably.
That bike thief should have skedaddled when he had the chance.
NRAH!
I like the fact that Amber can do this and Walky can’t.
Altext…and yet the Dorothy from either universe could keep up with neither of them. So damn lazy.
yeah um
… Well, hope that’s a preview of what happens tomorrow.
SPOILERS: Dorothy can’t lift cars in this universe.
Damn you Willis, always crushing dreams.
Well, the spoiler never says she won’t attempt to lift a car anyway. Oh, the impending tragedy! D:
Ok, Im lost. WHEN did Dorothy and Walky fight.
http://shortpacked.bigcartel.com/product/joyce-and-walky-complete
Get in on the jokes only $35!
‘Cuz, you know, Willis’s bills just pay themselves, and art should be FREEEEEEEE.
Was actually pretty good. My only complaint is the huge amounts of links you have to go through to read the whole thing.
I’m confused. You say in the alt text that Walky can’t do that but Amber can. I’ve scanned the entire comic several times and I can’t see Amber anywhere.
I do concur… I see only one amazigirl doing awesome off the wall shit. 😮
Amber: it’s a good thing I played all that Assassin’s Creed!
That does it. I want to marry Amber.
Not Dina? Fucking pleb.
Dina is not doing an awesome parkour backflip off of a wall over the heads of two pursuers after after successfully de-equipping a bike thief.
Also the amazi-condoms are still adorable.
She is, actually, but it’s off panel.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Willis flipped a coin on whether she sticks the landing in the very next panel.
*facepalm* Danny, you idiot. If only you knew. She has her issues but she’s a good girl. AND she can move like that? Priceless. And now, in your grand ignorance even though some of the things he said should’ve at least raised a yellow flag, you’ll shortly be leading her abusive, emotionally crippled father from whom she dramatically escaped right back to her. It’s a train wreck I can’t look away from.
I’m thinking this is more of a “Danny gets spotted hanging out w/ villains” day. I’m thinking the chase scene is going to lead to Danny & Daddy. Will she double back when she spots them? Will they spot her? Will she evade the intrepid reporters if she doubles back?
Those are open questions, but Danny can’t lure Amber to her father if Amber isn’t to be found. Since she can’t switch identities, this seems more probable to me. (Not to mention I think it would be funny.)
Yes, we already know that DoA is a ‘crazy universe’ per the hovertext.
Great flip Amazi-girl, I do hope you have a good landing. But with Willis…
Only thing, I still think she screwed up by not grabbing Dorothy’s cell phone, instead of the cutter. But then, her pics are still ‘out there’ so would make little difference.
Hope she remembers to throw away the sneaker than matches the one Dorothy got.
cutter boy was commiting a crime with those cutters. Dorothy wasnt committing crime with the cellie – that’s the diff. Amazi-Girl aint no thief, yo 🙂
Dramatic backflip!
Dat ass in panel 2…
Which one? They both look OK to me.
That was… amazing!
Oh hell yes
Amazi-Girl! I’m such a fan of acrobatic super heroes!
Yeah, yeah, everyone’s real impressed with the acrobatics and everything. What I want to know is how she finds time to raid with all this derring-do! On top of that, she somehow carves out hours for Danny and whatever physical conditioning is necessary for all of this. Her schedule has to be packed.
At least it explains why she’s wasting her time on a compsci degree instead of actually attending classes that might teach her something.
……….meanwhile – I’m still ROFLMAO at the whole “she stole my cutter” whine :p
She stole my tool for stealing bikes! Help! Police!
Sweet I just found the hidden alt text link spot. noe.I can read the.alt.text on my android phone
Granted this might be old news, but considering the spot is just a blank space I had no reason to click it until I did by accident while trying to enlarge the comments.
Where is it?
I’ve got a Samsung Charge and it’s the blank spot under the last panel. Look for the ‘latest’ button and click the empty spot beside that under the last panel.
Dorothy. She wants to go to Yale and then later become the president of the United States.
She also goes around harassing weirdo girls dressed in superhero uniforms for an interview.
I don’t know if I’m more impressed by the acrobatics or by the fact that she had the presence of mind to grab the cutter. This bike thief will not be getting away with anything just because she had to make an early exit!
Like Donkey Kong?
Yes.
You know, I was going to the Ki blast thing again, but that just seems immature.
Get her, Walky! Use your intelligence!
Haha, that alt text is exactly what I thought when I saw that panel on Tumblr.
In the other universe, there’s supernatural stuff always right there in the background, even when we’re just following a toy store.
In this universe, it seems like there aren’t really any supernatural elements… except Amber. She’s done some stuff that I wouldn’t expect a woman of her size and frame to be able to do. Am I misreading this?
she’s just super pro like that.
You forgot Sal’s hair which can suddenly poof into curls without warning, I’m fairly certain that hair doesn’t work that way.
Rule of Funny.
BAD. ASS.
…okay, this has been bugging the crap out of me, how on Earth can se do stuff like this? The only excersize we’ve seen her get is for her thumbs when she’s playing video games.
Judging by the exertion noise in the last panel, I don’t think she’s going to stick the landing on that one.
It may be part mental conditioning. It just depends on how separate a personality Amazi-Girl is from Amber.
I think it’s safe to say (Willis please correct me if I’m way off base) Amber’s mental mindset is that as AG she can do anything she needs to do to stop crime. Thus it’s her will helping her pull out stunts like this that-as Amber- she would be hard pressed to do.
Granted, she would normally need to be top physical shape to do this all the time. But as an occasional exertion her current physical condition plus mental mindset as “I’m Amazi-Girl and this is nothing” might be enough to get by.
If you’ve got a core set of skills, you can sometimes call them up into play on a short-term basis in the case of emergency. And remember, when Dorothy claimed that she had been a cross-country start in high school Amazi-Girl countered that by admitting that she had a background as a track-and-field athlete — while hurdling a fairly high hedge at the time.
Unless Amazi-Girl was a distance or steeplechase runner her best bet is to get away quick and find a hidey-hole, because if it comes to a long drawn-out rundown I think Dorothy’s endurance as a cross-country runner would be the difference.
That is damned impressive.
That said, I’m thinking that she’s going to be really sore and moving quite slowly the next day. I agree with the earlier posters that she may be able to execute that move, but it ain’t easy and there will be consequences later.
ok seriously everyone going BUT HER WRISTS or SHE SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO DO THAT needs to shut the hell up. I’m positive were Amber a guy no one would be questioning his ability to do this.
are you really going there
seriously
or is this a parody of your anti-sexism tumblr user or what
?????????????????????????
are you really going there
seriously
or is this a parody of your men’s rights activism redditor or what
It’s funny because I’m a girl. Oh wait nevermind, that doesn’t mean I can’t be a men’s rights activist sexist.
But still.
Looking at this comic.
Seeing the slightly chubby nerd girl doing a backflip.
Thinking real hard.
Sexism is the last thing that would come to mind.
If Amber were a boy/transgender/transsexual/hermaphrodite/pangender/androgyn with the same physical structure I would still question his/her/xyr/zir/hir/eir/vis/nir ability to pull this off.
yyyyyyyyyyyyeah
(i swear the title didn’t match my search terms)
Another.
Turns out, hey, you can have muscle and power, even under a rounder frame. And for some people, no matter how much you work out, that shape doesn’t go away. You can be in amazing shape and still have flab. (You can also have no flab and be in terrible shape.)
also i have edited your list of things to remove stuff i understand to be insulting terminology, though the whole thing really reads as patronizing
That’s interesting. But I assume these people have been practicing a lot which we’ve never seen Amber do, though that doesn’t mean she didn’t. But that wasn’t even the point of my post.
I just wanted to emphasize that it is not because of the character’s gender that people are questioning the possibility of the backflip successfully happening, as how Kole above was suspecting.
ANYONE who can pull that shit off needs to practice a lot to do it. The fact that you feel the need to insult a plethora of identities to try and make an idiotic point underlines my own.
And yet when a guy pulls this shit off, we read the goddam subtext- that they’ve obviously had practice to do it. But if they’re chubby? Or a woman? We don’t read that implied subtext anymore and suddenly go “WAIT BUT THE ONLY CARTOON CHUBBY PEOPLE I’VE EVER SEEN EAT DONUTS AND ARE THE BUTT OF FAT JOKES LMAO!! I SUDDENLY NEED NOTARIZED DOCUMENTATION AS PROOF OF THEM PRACTICING THESE THINGS OR IT’S GOING TO HINDER MY ABILITY TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF!!”
So yeah no
Oh so it’s about discrimination towards overweight people too. Alright.
You see, Kole, The world is a shitty place where people generalize and use stereotypes in order to understand the things around them. When you see a kind of chubby girl of whom all previous portayals only showed her being slightly reserved and playing video games you sort of come to the conclusion that she isn’t doing much excercise.
Yeah that sucks. Fuck the world.
And no. When a nerdy chubby guy does this, there’s no implied subtext. If a not-chubby girl does this, there might be subtext, so would be if a not-chubby guy did it. Because people are awful. But it’s really not about her gender. It’s about her being a fat nerd. Nobody looks at this anfd thinks “if Amber had a penis this would be normal”. No. This is just you. You are special. Congratulations.
And I don’t understand what you found offensive in that post, but I apologize.
It’s not her sex or physical structure that’s problematic. It’s her hand position. In fact, her wrists aren’t even in the greatest danger here; her skull is. Her hands should be turned around the other way, to offer maximum skeletal support. It’s not an issue of strength or size, it’s an issue of proper back handspring technique.
Head for the roundhouse, Amazi-Girl; they can’t corner you there.
Christ, that guy. “She stole my cutter!” Cry me a goddamn river, jackhole.
