Know how Superman always has to keep his glasses on public, because if he takes them off someone might recognize him? Amber can never have amazing sex, because then her post-coital hair would reveal her identity.
Just the one S-curl, though. That’s the whole disguise, not the glasses. Curl up, glasses off: “Did you get contacts, Clark?” Curl down, glasses on: “Hey, look everyone! It’s Hipster Superman!”
“Amazi-girl, your tits are so much better than Amber. You’re also much nicer than Amber. Just an all around better person than Amber. Fuck Amber HAHAHAHAHA”
It is so freaking weird that every character named Catman* has that same colour scheme.
* Of which there are three. The Batman villain/Secret Six character, the Fairly Odd Parents version of Adam West, and a golden age hero who has since fallen into the public domain.
well, I kinda get Amber’s pain… it’s kinda how I regret ever publicly using my real name on the internet, ’cause now to throw off would-be stalkers, I have to change my name [which NEVER looks suspicious to employers if you do it other than when getting married]
Particularly as today is the Transgender Day Of Remembrance for those killed just for being themselves and not being what other people though they should be.
And Danny proves his memory isn’t complete shit in this strip! It’s only a matter of time before he remembers Amber said her ex was into dudes. Just waiting for the connection to be made…
Yeah, this is Danny we’re talking about. He never actually figured out that the two girls that he was spending all of his waking hours with were one and the same, despite plentiful hints. He only knows because the answer literally fell into his lap.
He’ll probably figure out that Ethan is gay the same way: look down at his lap, and, whoa, there’s Ethan!
Wait, did the hovertext change? I could’ve sworn that when I first checked the comic, it was something about being easier to draw, too, and now it’s, “amazi-girl’s hair is so great leslie borrowed it for her wedding”.
Did anybody else notice Amber’s EPIC AWESOME T SHIRT!? I might be late to the party here if it’s showed up in previous comics, but it definitely made my day.
The thing is, Amber and Amazi-Girl look alike (being the same person and all), so if she wore her hair like Amazi-Girl, it would be a lot harder to claim not to be the same person to anyone who got any kind of look at her.
See yourself out, lest you want to see yourself locked away in hair pun prison, a fringe establishment of pun police that rarely gets to bang losers up -getting you will be the highlight of their day!
If you have a secret identity that let you do stuff you normally can’t allow yourself you limit yourself and prevent you from actually crossing those borders yourself. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?
So, I wonder what else Amaziegirl has denied Amber. I would have guessed relationship and/or sex – but for once Dannie has Dannied thingst just right and helped her cross that border.
Danny has already openly established himself to several people as Amazi-girl’s boyfriend, and as a result, he can’t be Amber’s boyfriend openly without raising suspicions. Sure, -they- both know that Amber and AG are the same person, but Danny’s boasting (if you want to call it that) means no public displays of affection for Amber.
Well it’s not like Clark Kent made many changes in his hair when he turned into Superman. Nor did Prince Adam’s hair get more fabulous when he changed to He-Man. Basically, just change or take off a piece of your wardrobe and nobody knows. The hair is not the giveaway.
“A REAL ALPHA EXHIBITS HIS DOMINANCE OF THE SOCIAL SCENE THROUGH THE FOLLICILES EXUDING THROUGH HIS HEAD AS WELL AS THE SEXINESS EXUDING OUT HIS BEING” -Some PUA asshole, twisting “left-wing propoganda” into “useful advice”
I’m with the “WTF is Amber on about” contingent. Amber’s hair is WAY better. Amber has a particularly round face, and as such a hairstyle which frames it suits her especially well, and her current hairstyle basically does that perfectly.
The Amazi-Girl hair isn’t BAD, mind you, but the Amber hair does it better. I can certainly understand why Amber would be annoyed that she couldn’t use that hairstyle if she wanted to, but I can’t fathom why she would actually want to.
Do you think the reason Danny likes Amazi-Girl’s hair better is because he associates it with Amber’s superheroine side, which feeds into his “dating a superheroine” fantasy?
Also, is this a foreshadowing to a future hairstyle change for Amber? If so, I look forward to it. 😀
Loading ...
but… I like your hair Amber T_T
So does Robin, it looks like a Cadbury Cream eggs is hatching Amber’s face!
Thanks Doc, now I cannot unsee it.
And I want a cremé egg now, but they don’t go on sale for another 6 weeks!
That’s strange, I can get those thing any time of the year but they do become more plentiful during Easter.
Thanks. Now I can’t unsee that. -_-
If you only look at her shadow, she looks like the Head Alien.
Hey! How dare you compare me to her! How dare you!
Ditto. Amber’s hair is super cute. I prefer it!
Just shave your head and wear a wig everything you go out as Amazi-Girl. Brilliant Idea!
ponytail in a scrunchie
also, hoodie dress
Ponytail in a scrunchie
I know, I know
It’s serious
I wish I could upvote that.
Solution: New super ID as Kekko Kamen. “No one has seen her face. Everyone has seen her body.”
NSWF Warning should you google the above name.
I APPROVE OF THIS IDEA
(also : hey, slipshine!)
Hmm, I see I have an anime to watch.
This idea of your has merit Hamster, and as a bonus, if anyone slut-shames her, they can always be retorted with “What are you, a misogynist?”
Also this will make Daisy’s whole year!
Re: Also this will make Daisy’s whole year!
Or turn Daisy’s sexual frustration dial past 11!
Not Sure We Follow warning? 😉
So Amber is stuck with helmet hair while AG gets the mazing sex hair.
Know how Superman always has to keep his glasses on public, because if he takes them off someone might recognize him? Amber can never have amazing sex, because then her post-coital hair would reveal her identity.
Luckily she’s dating Danny.
Hey you guys remember when Superman had a mullet?
No. Because that never happened.
Yeah, next he’ll try to say Supes lost his normal powers and became an enegry being for a while.
The classic movie Superman parted his hair differently depending on whenever he was Clark or Supes.
So you’re saying it’s just a matter of time?
She won’t be dating Danny for long, considering Ethan.
Maybe amber can have Amazi-girl hair post-coitus.
Well obviously Amazi-Hair is better. It’s, dare I say Amazing!
She could always do her hair like Amazi-Girl’s and if anyone asks, she’s just imitating Amazi-Girl. Nobody’ll figure it out.
Ha! Beat me to it!
Then she’d be a loser copycat!
No it’s like Superman. The hair is an intergral part of the disguise.
Just the one S-curl, though. That’s the whole disguise, not the glasses. Curl up, glasses off: “Did you get contacts, Clark?” Curl down, glasses on: “Hey, look everyone! It’s Hipster Superman!”
Then everyone will think she’s got a crush on Amazi-Girl.
Who doesn’t have a crush on Amazi-Girl? (Aside from Sarah, Joyce, and Ethan…)
Sal seemed to give remarkably few fucks, and isn’t the best at lies or other subtlety.
Malaya?
Though, actually, brawling in a Wal-Mart parking lot might be Malaya’s idea of a hot date.
Heck nah, anybody can do Amazi-girl hair! I can do Amazi-girl hair. Amber hair’s cool.
That’s what I’m saying. Amber’s hair 4-eva
Good job there, Danny 😀
Amber, just have Amazi-Girl hair, and tell everyone you copied off of her.
Amber can’t have nice things, but amazi-girl can…
Your alter ego will be your downfall Amber.
“Amazi-girl, your tits are so much better than Amber. You’re also much nicer than Amber. Just an all around better person than Amber. Fuck Amber HAHAHAHAHA”
Also for some reason Amber needs to wear glasses and you don’t.
Contacts, maybe.
I think there are some characters in comic books that have prescription masks.
If Batman were catty.
Like this?
I thought you were gonna link this.
It is so freaking weird that every character named Catman* has that same colour scheme.
* Of which there are three. The Batman villain/Secret Six character, the Fairly Odd Parents version of Adam West, and a golden age hero who has since fallen into the public domain.
I suspect at least one of those is a deliberate nod.
And see, I was expecting this.
*casually points at boyfriend* don’t ever tell me what to do with my hair again, or I’m using it against you.
For those who forgot:

Thanks for the reminder. ^_^
Thanks!!
Arguably this is what Wigs as a part of the costume are for.
It worked for 60s Batgirl, it allowed her to have short black wavy hair as Barbra and longer red hair as Batgirl.
And Black Canary IIRC (the blonde hair is a wig)
well, I kinda get Amber’s pain… it’s kinda how I regret ever publicly using my real name on the internet, ’cause now to throw off would-be stalkers, I have to change my name [which NEVER looks suspicious to employers if you do it other than when getting married]
Unless you’re required to given them your previous name, you can always claim that you anglicised it.
How do you anglicize an English name =<
danged Americanized parents
TIME FOR THAT SEX CHANGE THEN
You say that like that doesn’t cause employment problems, either. Trans issues are no joke, ‘kay?
Yeaaaaah, the casualness that the topic of gender reassignment was brought up for a cheap joke with was a bit disconcerting.
Particularly as today is the Transgender Day Of Remembrance for those killed just for being themselves and not being what other people though they should be.
IT WAS NOT ENTIRELY A JOKE =(
(and by not entirely I mean pretty much I’m the reverse of Jocelyne here, this has been covered before)
((diff is my parents would prolly understand but I am not going to be in an “I can afford this” state for many many many years))
You don’t. You just spoonfeed them bullshit until they give up and accept the lie.
@apostateCourier: If your name is already anglicized, you can always Germanise it instead.
The equivalent of this conversation is like Batman being jealous of Bruce Wayne because of his good looks and money
More like Bruce Wayne getting jealous of Batman because he gets to wear his batsuit in public
I, Billionaire Bruce Wayne, want a cowl.
And the batmobile.
Oh, god, Amber’s issues from prom include her haircut too.
Throwaway mention of prom… now to connect the dots to Ethan… and watch things get damn interesting.
Oh no! Danny might figure out that… Amber went to prom with her boyfriend!
And Danny proves his memory isn’t complete shit in this strip! It’s only a matter of time before he remembers Amber said her ex was into dudes. Just waiting for the connection to be made…
*tick tock tick tock tick tock*
*steeples fingers menacingly*
Yes…soon his realization will be complete…mwahahahaha!
Yeah, this is Danny we’re talking about. He never actually figured out that the two girls that he was spending all of his waking hours with were one and the same, despite plentiful hints. He only knows because the answer literally fell into his lap.
He’ll probably figure out that Ethan is gay the same way: look down at his lap, and, whoa, there’s Ethan!
Oh, Ethan’s gonna be in his lap, all right.
Well, at least you can wear that hairstyle under your clothing.
Slipshine subscribers know what I’m talking about.
Not when she’s Amber.
So Amber has the helmet head on her downstairs parts, but Amazigirl has the Amazi-hairstyle. Hah, that’s awesome
In the most recent Slipshine you can watch it switch back and forth.
I just went back and reread MoNM. I think you just gave away something about the new one you’ve been teasing on tumblr…
Music match: Sex Hair by Mouse Rat.
Wait, did the hovertext change? I could’ve sworn that when I first checked the comic, it was something about being easier to draw, too, and now it’s, “amazi-girl’s hair is so great leslie borrowed it for her wedding”.
yes, it was about being easier to draw for me as well.
yup
Looks like Willis is coming down with a variant of Plasma syndrome.
Pray tell what exactly is Plasma syndrome?
Obsessive changing of something (For you, it’s gravatars. For Willis, it appears to be title text.)
Did anybody else notice Amber’s EPIC AWESOME T SHIRT!? I might be late to the party here if it’s showed up in previous comics, but it definitely made my day.
We have. It is indeed nifty, though I’d reserve the term ‘awesome’ for actual busom hugs. Mmm….
Kinda missing my Joe default gravvy now.
Loving how the expressions are drawn here.
Also, Amber should get more hugs, she’s so unlucky.
thats a big pile of nope. Amber hair is top hair
I actually like Amber’s hairstyle better…
Always practical Amber.
“I read that article in the newspaper, and thought ‘Gee, I sure would love the wind-blown look like her.’.”
There ya go, Amber, ready-made excuse.
The thing is, Amber and Amazi-Girl look alike (being the same person and all), so if she wore her hair like Amazi-Girl, it would be a lot harder to claim not to be the same person to anyone who got any kind of look at her.
Somebody had to scroll down and look at the picture of Amazi-Girl in “Mask Or No Mask?” to remember exactly how it’s different. Probably this guy.
The worst PART… Get it? Part?!
Hair puns are the best.
Part of me wants to be angry at you. Part of me wants to high five you….
Welp, time to make an alter ego and beat the shit out of people!
Or maybe an alter ego that highfives people. That would be kinda awesome. “No fear, citizen. I’m here to tell you that was cool. High five!”
That disappeared round the hair pun bend.
See yourself out, lest you want to see yourself locked away in hair pun prison, a fringe establishment of pun police that rarely gets to bang losers up -getting you will be the highlight of their day!
I will high-five you as supporting puns is a good thing in my books.
Yeah, PUNS are no JOKE.
Oh God, I’m Danny.
Really? Looks more like Ethan to me.
Oh man. If this starts a trend we’re going to watch Danny realize how badly he Danned up various things and we’re going to be here for like two years…
If you have a secret identity that let you do stuff you normally can’t allow yourself you limit yourself and prevent you from actually crossing those borders yourself. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?
So, I wonder what else Amaziegirl has denied Amber. I would have guessed relationship and/or sex – but for once Dannie has Dannied thingst just right and helped her cross that border.
hm
ouch. I fear I know where this is going.
… Is two letters a record for eliciting a “Damn you, Willis”?
“Hm” what? WHAT??? “Hm” good, “Hm” bad?
Daaaamn you, Willis!!!!
Without having read the slipshine I suppose the question I should ask is – was “without mask” ever an option?
Or even more to the point – does Amber in fact have a relationship with Danny or is it just Amazigirl?
Whaddya mean, they’re having a relationship right there on the page in front of you.
Yeah but… but… I suppose I just have the “Damned you Willies”-ities, wondering how things will go spectacularly wrong next.
But there are these persistent hints that Amber and Amaziegirl have different kinds of relationship with Danny, and I don’t think anyone told him.
For example:
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-5/01-when-somebody-loved-me/clock/
Danny has already openly established himself to several people as Amazi-girl’s boyfriend, and as a result, he can’t be Amber’s boyfriend openly without raising suspicions. Sure, -they- both know that Amber and AG are the same person, but Danny’s boasting (if you want to call it that) means no public displays of affection for Amber.
And then there was that time Danny spend like twenty minutes comparing Amazi-girl and Ambers breasts. That’s not gonna come back to haunt him… right?
Ah, blackmail fodder. Keeping unhappy couples together since, forever.
Well it’s not like Clark Kent made many changes in his hair when he turned into Superman. Nor did Prince Adam’s hair get more fabulous when he changed to He-Man. Basically, just change or take off a piece of your wardrobe and nobody knows. The hair is not the giveaway.
It depends on which version of Superman you read/watched, in the 80s movies, Superman had the dominant looking hair while Clark had the wimpier hairstyle.

Amazi-Hair takes a lot less time and effort.
I THOUGHT it looked familiar, but I was wondering if Leslie had stolen it from Amber’s wedding.
Turns out they both stole it from alternate!Amber.
Amazi-girl’s mask is better than yours.
at least he’s honest.
Do you think the reason Danny likes Amazi-Girl’s hair better is because he associates it with Amber’s superheroine side, which feeds into his “dating a superheroine” fantasy?
Also, is this a foreshadowing to a future hairstyle change for Amber? If so, I look forward to it. 😀
I’d hug that bosom. *rimshot?*
I was expecting him to say, “Really?… HAIR is the worst thing about the whole secret identity thing?” 😉
“From prom”
Does that mean young Amber in DoA has early Shortpacked! Amber hair?
Oh wait, I don’t remember what it looked like in the flashbacks…
Honestly, I like Amber’s hair better than Amazi-Girl’s hair. I like Amber better than Amazi-Girl.
I sincerely hope that this is one of those cases where Amber will let herself have the hair and realize no one’s paying THAT much attention.
Amber could always have seen it in the picture and decided to try her own hair like that?
