Hey, knock first!
Yeah! You could’ve startled Dina hiding behind the door!
Is that even possible?
I don’t think Dina reached the “act surprised” lesson yet.
I don’t know she’s a quick learner she might get it If you explain to her.
Dina: Explain this “act surprised to me”.
Amber: It’s simple. You just open your eyes and mouth really wide.
Dina: Eyes and mouth wide? I believe I have seen a fellow student do that. Shall I attempt to imitate the expression?
Amber: Go ahead.
Dina: Like this?
Gah…The One with the Triangle Smile is everywhere!
AH!
How is it that mixing two adorable characters makes such a creepy result? O_o
Probably has something to do with the fact that they’re adorable for different reasons.
It’s the hat.
Bwahahah
Amber’s reaction is very appropriate!
So. Much. Win. And. Scary.
Where do I go to upvote this?
We saw her both angry and sympathetic. Anything is possible
She might’ve unleashed the RAPTOR
oh shit!
It’s like walking into a mirror.
Raise your hands if you would love to see Amber and Dorothy recreate this scene.
*Raises Hands*
When the part with the black hat happened I honestly burst out laughing.
See the movie if you haven’t. One of the funniest films of all time.
Well, the physical comedy is some of the funniest of all time. The dialogue is alright but hasn’t aged well, and the plot is downright incoherent (and thus UN-funny, at least IMO).
Had my hand up even before clicking, since there was no other possible scene…
Yesssss!
“Can I borrow a cup of dramatic tension?”
“If you want you can borrow my awkward sexual tension whenever you need it.”
“Oh… I see you have some supportive father figure there… Um, could I get a bit of that?”
“Piss on you! I’m workin’ for Mel Brooks!”
This may get ugly.
My evil twin!
bad weather friend
He always wants to start when I want to begin.
it scares me so, like i scare i scare myseeeelf
Why don’t you knock?
Why don’t you lock?
Permission to use that in everyday life?
Why dose Dorothy what to know if amber is busty?
They’ve met before?
So they can compare busts?
So we can write the fanfictions?
Genetics. Amber is busty.
Oh you meant busy. She’s interviewing.
I did think she said busty.
Well, I do think the interview is a bust.
“That interview went south. Like my eyes…towards the chest area.”
“Excuse me, my eyes are up here”
“Excuse me, my boobs are down here.”
“Excuse me, my boobs are down here.”
And my eyebrows are *WAY* up there!
“Is this some kinda of a bust?”
“Yes, it’s most impressive. But, that’s not why we’re here.”
Yeah, knowing if someone is busty is usually as simple as looking at them.
Man I HATE getting surprised like that. Detaching your eyebrows hurts a lot more than you’d think.
Reattaching them’s not that bad, though.
Not a problem really. In the Dumbiverse what we think of as eyebrows are really symbiotic organisms that live off calm brain waves. When the host is startled these symbiotes are exposed to what they interpret as distasteful brainwaves and leap away from the face only to settle back when the host is less agitated.
“Sooner or later God’ll cut you down,” is what I heard in my head while reading this.
Your kidding she was right next door? Of course she is.
There is no way that this is going to end well for everyone.
Does it ever end well?
Fuck no.
“Yes…I am busy fighting crime…on this here video game”
“Where were you last night?”
“I beat up a guy while wearing a mask and a cape…in Arkham City, I mean!”
“Saved a guy too….you know, in the game”
“He spit on my dad afterwards. That too, was in the game. Easter egg.”
“Wait..I thought Batman’s father was dead”
“He spit on Alfred..he is pretty much Batman’s father figure”
Uh oh…
Why does Amber look like she just saw a ghost?
She was busy?
Cause she’s not wearing pants
You YOU wear pants while in the middle of writing Iron Man / Captain America slash fic?
*Would you
I thought they already made an Iron Man/Captain America fic. Heck, that pretty much averts the Civil War.
It’s very possible, we can’t see below her navel. Everyone knows hat comic characters don’t wear pants when the planet doesn’t show them. It’s like tv news anchors.
Because the reporter who was chasing her other identity just walked unexpectedly and unannounced into her room through the shared bathroom they can’t lock?
At least she wasn’t halfway into her Amazi-Girl costume when Dorothy walked in.
IMO, Amber’s reaction doesn’t fit the entrance Dorothy gave, but this entrance might.

Damn…I was going for the “It’s Goofy Time” joke….but that is in poor taste.
With Amber’s father being abusive and all. Save it for next time he visits.
Nah, it still in poor taste. Abuse is never actually funny to begin with.
Maybe she can see a ghost.
Yes, I have to go do that thing at the… thing.
While I’m carrying the thing to put on the other thing while watching The Thing.
It’s clobberin’ time!
Not that Thing, the other Thing.
The one found in the Antarctic and that can only be killed with fire?
Yes…that Thing.
Oh yeah, I forgot that was implied by Dina being at the end of WPaS.
(psst guys Dina is in WPaS, if you needed another reason to get it)
You’re an evil dude.
I believe you mean “Marketing Genius”.
(these are typically synonyms)
Sierra is in it too.
Amber could have handled that better if she didn’t want to be disturbed.
Well, I was expecting Amber to yell like Finn.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rathXr7Y-pY
Yeah, like that.
Even though I watch Adventure Time I always associate that scream with Space Ghost.
DAMMIT ALT TEXT WHY MUST YOU TAUNT ME
‘Cuz the Pornlord wants your moneys.
Obviously he needs to donate to the Kickstarter so we break $75k then.
Well, I am *not* pledging $20264, that would almost ruin me!
All your moneys.
Thinking about it this is dangerous for Amber, Dorothy still know Amazi-girls height, build, and hair color and she smarter than Danny so she might figure this out.
But since she’s not Billie, she won’t make any firm statements until she has proof or a confession. Or at least she won’t publish them.
I know Amber’s been hiding out and Dorothy has been… occupied, but for me this is stretching things a bit. I knew my suitemate’s names before I moved in freshman year, and I was basically Amber (not the secret vigilante and abusive father part, the stay in my room and revel in my new internet freedom part). At the very least the name would look familiar.
It made sense to me ‘cuz I never ever met my dorm neighbors, ever, neither year’s set, despite sharing a toilet with them. People like me and Amber find a way.
This was my first Semester!
I lived in a hall of two sets of four rooms conjoined in the middle by a shared bathroom. It wan’t until the third or fourth week either “side” met the other. We became a really cohesive set of 16 guys, but for the first month or so we didn’t even speak.
Y-you had 16 people sharing a bathroom?
I-I just can’t… HOW?!?
It was mega-bathroom of sorts with doors on both ends. 6 sinks, 4 toilets, 4 showers. Calling it just a plain ol’ bathroom was a little unclear of me.
Let me tell you about a little thing called “Basic Training”.
Have you ever been in a college dorm? We have bathrooms that are shared by an entire floor, something like 25-30 people.
It’s just like a semidecent public bathroom, really. With more showers. (But not enough showers, especially since only one has a decent waterflow and everyone knows which one it is.)
I’ve seen those (and used them), but the ones I’ve seen as part of connected rooms have usually been more like normal house bathrooms (1 toilet, 1 shower/bath, 1 sink). 16 people sharing that would be a bit too much for me…
I can corroborate this. Of the five roommates I had in my first apartment (Apartment! Not even dorm!) I only ever met four of them.
I had a roommate whose name I was never actually sure of. It’s really awkward to ask a dude you’ve been sharing a room with for most of a semester whether his name is “Mark” or “Mike”, so I just… didn’t.
I saw more of my girlfriend’s roommate that semester than I did my own, anyway.
It’s only been like a month. And they’re both busy.
Though I didn’t realize they hadn’t even been introduced at any point.
They have actually, three times. Just not in this setting. I think John clarified it yesterday.
And I have failed to post my own comment. Sorry!
The Amazi-girl boots alter her height.
Learn to knock. My hands were down my pants and Ninja turtles was on!!!
Hell, my hands are down my pants most of the time anyway.
Why would you mix wearing pants and masturbation anyhow?
“Hey, Neighbor, you look exactly like that costumed vigilante I’ve been chasing around campus whose apparently dating my ex and beat up your abusive dad. Normaly I’d go with the obvious conclusion but there’s some cartoons I need to avoid for a few more hours”
I think I have my prediction for the next Slipshine pairing!
Oh crap, Amber! She knows!!
Knock her out and lock her in the closet.
Several Metal Gear games have prepared her for this moment!
Yeah..why do you think cardboard boxes is also in Amazi-Girl’s utility belt?
Amber! Go for the window! It’s right there, just get out now before she see gets a good look at you!
Or…knock her out and lock her in the closet…..or behind the door since no one checks there.
If you stick her behind the door Dina will have nowhere to stand. And you do not want to incur the wrath of Dina. Ten times worse than Amazi-Girl.
I have a bad feeling about this(tm)
Panel two Dorothy kind of looks like she’s looking through the fourth wall at us. Like, “Huh. Why didn’t you guys tell me this?”
The fourthwall breaking gets creepy for anyone reading this who might be named Amber O’Malley. “Amber O’Malley lives in… that’s right, I see you Amber. Clean your apartment.”
Well, don’t look at me, Dotty. If you can break the fourth wall, you can figure it out by yourself.
Eyebrows, awaaaay!
Eyebrows: I must leave now. My planet needs me.
Geez she’s not going to drop this is she?
well it’s her job
Is she actually getting paid? I thought this was just an extraciricular.
The IDS is a real newspaper and it pays for its content. They paid me to publish Roomies! back in the day. “Extra-curricular” just means it’s not part of the curriculum, meaning you don’t get graded on it.
Regardless, by “job” I didn’t mean “paid work” so much as it is a responsibility she has. Her editor assigned her to a (presumably enviable) beat. What’s she going to tell Daisy later, “I didn’t think you wanted me to try more than a little”? At that point, the story gets handed to someone who doesn’t give up after asking one person a question.
I’m sure Billie would love to have the story back. She could write an article without asking any questions at all!
Worked for Peter Parker.
If they’re neighbours, I’d say it was very awkward for Amber and/or Dina during the events of Walky Performs a Sex. Knowing Amber, she probably had headphones in and was playing WoW. Either that, or she was out fighting crime.
Actually, I believe she was beating down her father who totally deserved it
Wait..since Blaine is probably in a hospital…I just got this awesome mental image where Amber attacks Blaine at the hospital like how Stone Cold attacked Vince McMahon that one time.
Oh yeah. So it was very awkward for Dina, then.
Spoiler: nah, not really.
Mammals ae weird
…Amber doesn’t lock her side?
This bizarre American room sharing seems designed to facilitate crime ¬___¬
It is my understanding that with connecting-door setups like this, the connecting door(s) can be locked to provide privacy and security; however, it has also been my experience that the neighbors sharing the connection usually become good friends and adopt a mi casa es su casa attitude and said door is left open far more often than it is locked.
I had a suitemate one semester who continually came in and took my TV when he wanted to play video games, even if I locked the door he’d pop the lock. Even after I explained I didn’t mind letting him borrow it if he just asked. He kept right on doing it.
From what I’ve gathered about the setup, the doors to the connecting bathroom can only be locked from the inside. So you can lock the other room out of the bathroom (which will annoy Ruth when she has to come deal with them not being able to use their bathroom), but you can’t lock the bathroom out of your room.
And to be fair, it’s a college dorm, so if it were possible to lock the bathroom doors from the outside, there would be a lot of people getting locked into the bathroom, either as a prank or just accidentally. And Ruth would be even more annoyed.
Yeah, but you’re not gona lock yourself inside if you’re using the bathroom, and the threat of pranks is too low to let go of security. Not being able to just walk into the other person’s room is more important. Back when my wife was in college, for instance: She kept her side locked, and her and the person across the way just remembered to knock on the door before entering. I mean…we wouldn’t have gotten anything “done” if there was a risk of someone just walking in.
Is it strange i started reading this yesterday and im already caught up?
No, we all have no life.
I tried to pace myself and finished in a month. On the one hand, once I broke away from a sitting, it’d take me days to come back, but on the other, there was that day I read the last chapter of book two, all of book three, and the first chapter of book 4.
That’s not strange with a well written comic, but be warned: the switch from that to waiting for updates can be a tough one.
I went through the entire alternate universe in a week. No, it’s not weird.
I think that means you didn’t read all the comments.
Another reason I did not want suite style.
I got the idea from the way it was handled in WPaS that this was somehow already common knowledge.
Nobody here but the spiders I have to kill…
Yes…”spiders”
What? I always thought those doors were closets.
