I feel like she’s canonically able to do just about anything tech-related. Probably not a great graphic designer, but editing video shouldn’t be an issue.
After nearly dying six times teaching herself parkour from youtube videos, it seems Amaz-Girl has learned the greatest skill of all: How to learn to do whatever she wants. The question is if she wanted it.
The hallway is now where you go if you agree with the idea that the people on the roof are garbage. Along with people everywhere else. It’s Misanthropy Hall.
I recognized it, but I won’t claim to have ever completely understood it. I mean, I understand the general sentiment, but why those specific examples and what are they saying? They always just seemed weird to me.
I recognize it from the works of Heinlein, a frequent expression used was, “This is Liberty Hall, where you can spit on the mat and call the cat a bastard.” it wasn’t used in every book, but there was one story universe that did use it frequently.
Circling back to this and poking around the internets, it seems to come from an old A. Bertram Chandler book: The Big Black Mark, which I have not read.
The most aggressively neutral and flat pronunciation you can think of, and then make it even flatter. Don’t soften your Rs, don’t twang, don’t roll, don’t fully pronounce hard consonants, just take every latter for granted and never write them once you leave the house.
people who talk about “midwestern” as a strong accent with a strong identity of its own generally mean an upper midwestern accent [i.e. minnesota or michigan], but that doesn’t really fly for describing a character in a comic strip set in Indiana.
Indiana [and more broadly the part of the midwest that consists of Iowa, Illinois-not-Chicago, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky] mainly has accents that occupy the space between ‘general american’ and ‘mildly southern’
Minnesota and Michigan have different accents. (There is more of the Minnesota accent in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, but that includes less than 5% of the state’s population.)
Indiana is in a different accent group than either, though, and it is one that is viewed as pretty neutral. It feels easier to describe how to bot sound like you’re from somewhere else than to describe how to sound like you’re from there.
And if you’re still not sure what it sounds like, watch an American movie. Most actors sound like us, even (especially?) the ones from other English-speaking countries. It’s actually one of my least favorite things about the Spider-Man movies. He’s from goddamn Queens, born and raised in New York, and in every single movie he just sounds like my neighbor.
So…Tony’s British? I wouldn’t have picked that. Does explain why Mrs Walkerton fell for the Dean I guess. And yes, I’m well aware no one is going to understand this, but I do so I don’t care.
It messes with their scent-trails–for ants, this is the equivalent of a flash-bomb and screamer all at once; disorients them to hell. If you want to plug a hole, as well, mix cinnamon into a jar of Vaseline, then use the resulting mix as a sealant. We used it to fend off an invading army of ants from our old apartment bathroom, and it worked like a charm.
Mint works the same for many critters. Essential oil and water, sprayed at entryways, and even the neighbour who thinks everyone’s garden is his bin can’t get you overwhelmed before you teach him where his bin is by putting him in it.
I don’t think it makes sense to call someone in real life a Mary Sue, like how does that even work? Although maybe Incelerator doesn’t believe this is real life and that thinks that he is living in a simulation or something…
I think that the idea is that whatever person seems to be able to pull off really hard things without any experience or training. So like, sal, when she managed to do a frameperfect mario 8-4, that was an example. OTOH, here it is not because, as amber mentioned, she actually trained really hard.
I feel like if you’re the sort of person who is willing to dress up as a superhero you may end up using superhero stories as a cipher to understand your life.
Don’t try to make sense of a mind of an incel. He uses terms that don’t actually mean what they think they mean on things he doesn’t like. Like “woke” or “Mary Sue.” Or “intelligence.”
I mean it’s simple really, the rhetoric is designed to fuel superiority complex by throwing it at women/liberals/minorities to “win” arguments — which usually just means we end the conversation voluntarily, not because we think they’re right, but because we’ve determined continuing to talk to them is unproductive at best and unsafe at worse.
The more attention and “wins” they get with the rhetoric, the sharper they feel, the more they are convinced there must be something to it. This is why it’s best to just not engage.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he is better off than the richest black man, then the former will not notice that you’re picking his pocket.
Hell, give him someone to look down on, hate, berate, war against, and he will gladly empty his pockets for you.”
Those aren’t very good whacking instruments, but if you’ve got it on hand we could give it a shot. Probably work better if you do the sunlight trick with it, for the perfect DIY vasectomy.
(I’m not offering real advice and can’t be held accountable if you burn your nutsack open with a magnifying glass.)
I don’t know about the comment section, but I don’t think anyone in the comic itself was telling her to keep pretending to be nice for their benefit. If anything, everyone was weirded out by it and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hopefully, this is the shoe being laid gently on the ground, rather than being slam dunked The Lonely Island style.
I hope Amazi-Girl can at least take some comfort in being fawned on by the others, even if Tony and Sarah might be rushing off to get to know each other better.
I did not pay much attention to Tony in the Walkyverse, the stories with him in it didn’t really interest me. But the impression I got of him was he had a kind of … intensity? Maybe he’s different here, or maybe there’s more to him than I got before. But I think Sarah snarks more than he’d be into long-term, and vice versa.
Sarah and Arnold can be with other people first. Arnold’s her Goldilocks zone though.
Couldn’t be me. I checked my old posts, and it’s always been a Sarah+Arnold avatar. —
I realized I was thinking of Arnold as a prop, as a tool to fit Dorothy’s character development needs. I didn’t have an answer for what Arnold would see in Dorothy past physical attraction. Plus it was pride month and Mindy makes more sense for Dorothy. Then for heteronormative month, I thought about whom Arnold would like and vice versa. i see Arnold and Sarah making each other laugh.
I am hoping for a montage of Sarah and Tony doing romantic activities,(holding hands, picking flowers, enjoying a plate of spaghetti siping on one noodle ending in a kiss) while cutting back to Amazi Girl contemplating how to film a montage.
Reading different books in the same room as each other. Sitting at a cafeteria table together and watching compilations of people getting hurt because of their own stupidity on one phone. Calling the Health Dept on Glasso’s together… Batting Cage date.
might depend on his level of grumpiness tho b/c other than his friend being shitty in his past appearances idk if he was as ‘default’ meh in his attitude as sarah was
Haha, I was just coming here to comment “Is that eye-shine I see in Panel 3??” XD But seriously though, good for them! I hope Sarah has finally found her kindred spirit. 🙂
1. Nice of A-G to distract the crowd so Sarony can start some “us” time.
2. Love the subtle effect as they gaze all meet-cute-y into each other’s eyes. 🙂
1. the new amazi girl costume IS great
2. I really really like that Tony is NOT smiling while he and Sarah are making eyes at each other.
3. this comic continues to repay the many years i’ve spent reading it with interest
I feel this is an interesting set up for some character exploration, but it’s a lousy one for “they’re a couple now.”
Sarah had been starting make progress through her interest in Jacob. Her current fake happy persona is a reaction to that failure, but not a positive one. If it’s either rewarded here or just dropped as she stumbles into a good relationship based on a weird meet-cute, I’d feel like it isn’t narratively earned.
Mind you, I don’t really expect that to happen. At least not without plenty of complications digging back into Sarah’s basic character issues. And probably drawing Jacob back into the mix as well.
When she said that…I just thought of Team America “MONTAGE! GOTTA HAVE A MONTAGE!” I really wanna see, though, someone go “Where’s the beef?!” And then Beef shows up 😛
Loading ...
Yeah, but can Amazi-Girl edit?
That would just make her Sueier!
I feel like she’s canonically able to do just about anything tech-related. Probably not a great graphic designer, but editing video shouldn’t be an issue.
i mean if she got viral enough i’m sure there would be a supercut of all her current deeds versus a past training montage
DaVinci Resolve is easier to use than it looks at first glance.
Amazi-Girl can do ANYTHING!
… That’s probably not helping the Mary-Sue accusation, is it? XD
After nearly dying six times teaching herself parkour from youtube videos, it seems Amaz-Girl has learned the greatest skill of all: How to learn to do whatever she wants. The question is if she wanted it.
Daisy can sexy edit!
I mean edit.
Amber can.
Sarah has found her Equal.
This may be the fastest mutual attraction in this strip.
In this hallway, we can (agree that people are) garbage.
Wait, I thought that was the roof?
The hallway is now where you go if you agree with the idea that the people on the roof are garbage. Along with people everywhere else. It’s Misanthropy Hall.
Where you can’t spit on the floor but you *can* call the cat a bastard?
I understood that reference dot gif
I recognized it, but I won’t claim to have ever completely understood it. I mean, I understand the general sentiment, but why those specific examples and what are they saying? They always just seemed weird to me.
Are you a turtle?
No. I have no armor.
I recognize it from the works of Heinlein, a frequent expression used was, “This is Liberty Hall, where you can spit on the mat and call the cat a bastard.” it wasn’t used in every book, but there was one story universe that did use it frequently.
Are you sure? I’ve read a bunch of Heinlein and don’t recognize it. It almost sounds like him to me, but not quite.
Circling back to this and poking around the internets, it seems to come from an old A. Bertram Chandler book: The Big Black Mark, which I have not read.
The Ms. Anne Throppie Hall
Tony has a Jersey accent in my head
Brooklyn. Definitely Brooklyn.
Would a really strong midwestern accent work?
So, 1970s anchorman?
Seriously, what is a really strong midwestern accent? Is that really a thing?
The most aggressively neutral and flat pronunciation you can think of, and then make it even flatter. Don’t soften your Rs, don’t twang, don’t roll, don’t fully pronounce hard consonants, just take every latter for granted and never write them once you leave the house.
Also pronounce “granted” as “grannid”
Hence that “taken for granite” pun that never made sense to me before hearing that accent.
Or pronounce “exactly” as “egg-ZACK-lee”
You definitely need to say “ope”
As in, ope, here we go, it sounds like this:
https://youtu.be/MHCmE4ABnNs?si=QfCYLZdaG4IzSDZC
Being from a very “ope” place, I didn’t realize it was also prevalent in Indiana. But cool that it is.
Semi-competent Joyce Lewd Gravitar for the win
Someone needs to get the “Both appalled and aroused Dorothy” gravitar in response.

Hey, I’m swingin’ here!
“That’s because he’s YOUR friendly neighborhood spider-man!”-Marvel Studios Execs panicking
That would also mean Dean McHenry has one and I’m not sure how to feel about that.
So…Tony’s British? I wouldn’t have picked that. Does explain why Mrs Walkerton fell for the Dean I guess. And yes, I’m well aware no one is going to understand this, but I do so I don’t care.
If Tony was from that Jersey, he’d be telling you very loudly that he’s not British, he’s from a Crown Dependency, actually.
For me its more like, a teenage Jeffrey Combs? Cuz the Dean/Big Boss is also Jeffrey Combs in my head
People are goibage
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
SPARKLY EYES
Okay but I love training montages so… Yes you should have filmed some montages!
And every shot shows a little improvement, to show it all would take too long!
That’s why you need a montage! MONTAGE! Even Rocky had a montage!
SPARKY EYED TONY I STAY WINNING
I’m already excited for this relationship; I hope it does not crash and burn.
So we taking bets about when incel-asshole returns? If ever?
Hopefully never, but I doubt we’ll be so lucky
Paul’s been creeping back in like mold since the first time he got his ass kicked in 2010, we’ll see him again.
Or ants. You block off holes so those little black ants can’t get into your kitchen, but they always do.
Cinnamon. Ants hate it, for some reason.
It messes with their scent-trails–for ants, this is the equivalent of a flash-bomb and screamer all at once; disorients them to hell.

Mint works the same for many critters. Essential oil and water, sprayed at entryways, and even the neighbour who thinks everyone’s garden is his bin can’t get you overwhelmed before you teach him where his bin is by putting him in it.
For example…
Cats like mint. Cats don’t like being put in bins
Paul will actually change his ways but Incelerator will become a distinct personality, giving Amazi-Girl her own Two Face

Love at first shared misanthropy.
The mutual eye glistening! Sarah’s smile, only visible because she’s been practicing! Eee!
damn we went straight to Kiss Kiss Fall In Love huh

I still love that manga and anime and can’t quite put a finger on why.

You miss one flying kick and BAM, imposter syndrome.
It’s not even your BAM!
It’s a match made in landfill, now off to garbage roof.
Well since “Mary Sue” is supposedly an author self-insert, if InDumberator is correct, that means Willis is a superhero/vigilante IRL! *gasp*
The Mary Sue having exciting skills and employment the author doesn’t share feels like a core part of the archetype though
I couldn’t put enough sarcastic airquotes around “archetype” so I didn’t even try
It’s semi-autobiographical. Merely inspired by real events. They’re probably merely a masked wrestler in a local league.
Of course! Willis is probably a Luchador on weekends! (probably a Tag Team duo with Maggie)
Ooh, like Commander Sterling.
Go get him, Sarah!
[Also, Tony looks cute imo]
I don’t think it makes sense to call someone in real life a Mary Sue, like how does that even work? Although maybe Incelerator doesn’t believe this is real life and that thinks that he is living in a simulation or something…
It does not work, much like some people like that call left-wing people “NPCs” because they literally believe we have no internal life.
(-_-) yuuuup, see also, “robot girl”, “advanced AI swarm bots”
I think that the idea is that whatever person seems to be able to pull off really hard things without any experience or training. So like, sal, when she managed to do a frameperfect mario 8-4, that was an example. OTOH, here it is not because, as amber mentioned, she actually trained really hard.

Don’t try to make sense of a mind of an incel. He uses terms that don’t actually mean what they think they mean on things he doesn’t like. Like “woke” or “Mary Sue.” Or “intelligence.”
“A Mary Sue is when… Uhh… When a female…”
Honestly, these days online, see also: Karen.
I mean it’s simple really, the rhetoric is designed to fuel superiority complex by throwing it at women/liberals/minorities to “win” arguments — which usually just means we end the conversation voluntarily, not because we think they’re right, but because we’ve determined continuing to talk to them is unproductive at best and unsafe at worse.

They’re not the ones you need to tell, A-G.
Actually, I guess there’s really no one you need to tell. Just punch the incel in the balls a few times, if you can find them.
I’ve got a magnifying glass we can use
Those aren’t very good whacking instruments, but if you’ve got it on hand we could give it a shot. Probably work better if you do the sunlight trick with it, for the perfect DIY vasectomy.

Ice Queen and a Short King; a heartwarming story of two people bonding over their shared hatred of humanity coming to Hallmark in 2025.
Way better than that Touchdown a Cheifs Love Story, Yes it’s a thing no Taylor Swift isn’t in it.
Sounds more like a manga tbh.
Raidah 2 or 3 storylines from now: “I’m pretending to be friends with someone who’s acquainted with someone who’s mom used to be married to the Dean”
Sarah: “I’m currently dating the deans son”
I’m still trying to fathom her endgame. If she has one.
Aren’t Jenn’s parents rich?
And isn’t Radiah’s whole reason for even talking to Jennifer based on her being Asher’s pillow princess, because she knows Asher’s got mob ties?
The sparkle in their eyes
🥹🥰 im so happy for them…
*plays “Dreams Come True” from Sailor Moon CD on hacked muzak*
Oh, they’re perfect for each other.
I just noticed she stopped smiling.
Fuck it, I ship. Let the taciturn duo rise to glory.
But then panel 3..
It’s a significantly less forced smile in panel 3
well, their eyes do look ‘sparkly’, it’s probably teh most genuine smile she’s had all week/since the after party
Panel 3 is Sarah face actually relaxed with a slight uptilt smile. No pretense at all; just an honestly positive reaction. Not a common sight for us!
Okay, I’m warming up to Tony a bit here.
I’m glad she finally found someone who won’t keep telling her to pretend to be nice for their own comfort. *looks at comment section*
The fuck you want, an apology for a fictional character? She can’t hear us, dude. See, watch.
HEY SARAH! FUCKING KILL YOUR SISTER, YOUR FAMILY NEVER LOVED YOU ANYWAY! YOUR JORDANS ARE FAKE!
I guarantee not a peep from her, so stop staring at me. It’s fuckin’ creepy.
Dead ass I hear you saying this with the T-shirt in your mouth.
I chortled aloud at that. +1 internet point. 🙂
…Willis you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing
I don’t know about the comment section, but I don’t think anyone in the comic itself was telling her to keep pretending to be nice for their benefit. If anything, everyone was weirded out by it and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hopefully, this is the shoe being laid gently on the ground, rather than being slam dunked The Lonely Island style.
I hope Amazi-Girl can at least take some comfort in being fawned on by the others, even if Tony and Sarah might be rushing off to get to know each other better.
I have only one reaction – SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
They’ll have a good time and be good for each other, as it runs its course before she ends up with Arnold.
I did not pay much attention to Tony in the Walkyverse, the stories with him in it didn’t really interest me. But the impression I got of him was he had a kind of … intensity? Maybe he’s different here, or maybe there’s more to him than I got before. But I think Sarah snarks more than he’d be into long-term, and vice versa.
Sarah and Arnold can be with other people first. Arnold’s her Goldilocks zone though.
Didn’t you use to ship Dorothy and Arnold or was that someone else?
Couldn’t be me. I checked my old posts, and it’s always been a Sarah+Arnold avatar. —
I realized I was thinking of Arnold as a prop, as a tool to fit Dorothy’s character development needs. I didn’t have an answer for what Arnold would see in Dorothy past physical attraction.

A-girl is missing some adoration!
didn’t she set up a whole app for help or so? I’m sure she had some fans in the past/taken pics and such lol
Aaaaaaand I’m sold. Crack the bottle over this ship cause we sailing
i feel very represented by the crowd here. positively hearts in their eyes. this is cute.
“Let’s hate the world and punch it until it’s better.
Together.”
Ah, bonding. Cold-welding, even.
I am hoping for a montage of Sarah and Tony doing romantic activities,(holding hands, picking flowers, enjoying a plate of spaghetti siping on one noodle ending in a kiss) while cutting back to Amazi Girl contemplating how to film a montage.
Reading different books in the same room as each other. Sitting at a cafeteria table together and watching compilations of people getting hurt because of their own stupidity on one phone. Calling the Health Dept on Glasso’s together… Batting Cage date.
I’m shipping it! I’m shipping it now!
I don’t care if it’s a rebound. Ship, ship, ship!!!
does it count as a ‘rebound’ if you never dated?
and would be fun. or we find out tony’s gay but they still end up being close/platonic friends hating the world lol
It’s a rebound from Incelerator. Don’t ask how.
Listen, Amber called you a Mary Sue already, Sal.
Stop denying it.
Snerk.
The joy and beauty of a deeply shared contempt. This will go places.
A new ship has set sail!
Lmao the way these two are falling for eachother is pretty hilarious though
OK, clearly the thing I was worried about yesterday isn’t going to happen, LOL!
…oh good lord they’re perfect for each other
might depend on his level of grumpiness tho b/c other than his friend being shitty in his past appearances idk if he was as ‘default’ meh in his attitude as sarah was
Sarah’s meh was tied into past trauma and being surrounded by morning people.
So long as Tony’s not Ethan Grade misanthrope, they should be fine.
I’m starting to think it’s impossible to be surrounded by morning people: there aren’t enough of us to surround anything.
My theory is that there used to be a lot more morning people, but they were gradually killed off by people who wanted to wake up gradually.
I’m a morning person. But I’ve learned to be very quiet in the mornings to avoid waking up the murderers. 😀
I worked graveyard for almost 2 decades, one of the things I used to do was shout at the kids, “Am I sleeping too loud for you?” usually about 2 pm.
Seeing how he is the Dean’s son all the recent drama might have ricocheted into him too.
I wasn’t shipping Sarah and Tony before, but I definitely am now.
“This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!”
Ahh, those eyes, that hatred …it’s Buff Mike!
So, anyone got the champagne on a string so we can christen this new ship?
All I got is liquor. Close enough! XD
What’s the string for?
So we can smack it into them from a safe distance and Run!
Okay so ignoring how cute Sarah and Tony are-
Whadda ya wanna bet that some exceptionally gobliny part of Amber’s brain is going to involve the Incelerator in some of her smut.
Knowing her obsession with Yaoi… Sarah, keep Tony safe from Amber and her shippy ways!
Misanthropy makes the heart grow fonder?
Two hearts joined in misanthropy.
And height.
I want what they have.
Contempt for humanity?
A mutual relationship based on contempt for humanity. “Contenity”, if you will.
Someone on the Patreon pointed this out but — every time Tony has shown up in the comic, it’s to be surly and annoyed at other people.
They deserve one another.
He’ll be the Statler to her Waldorf <3
OH HO HO HO!
I don’t know if being annoyed at Walky marks someone as irritable.
Gasp… Is this a “magic moment” between Sarah and Tony”? That would be amazing! Kinda sad how Amazi-girl is not noticing it.
And yet, people *still* say that Amber is Amazi-girl! There’s *no way* Amber wouldn’t notice. (Rolls eyes)
the flirting is so strong, Sarah is positively snared by those eyes. ~<3
Once again I feel an irrational annoyance with amazigirls system
As long as you are aware it is irrational and not go around arguing about it
Oh eye sparkles! This got serious!
Haha, I was just coming here to comment “Is that eye-shine I see in Panel 3??” XD But seriously though, good for them! I hope Sarah has finally found her kindred spirit. 🙂
“You don’t need to be sparkle and rainbows anymore, queen. Let’s be grumpy together.”
Tony/Sarah is cute, I guess, but my new favourite ship is Amazi-Girl/the two people staring at her in admiration.
(This is not a serious statement.)
They’re design students who want to talk about the new look.
Remarkable, how Tony was able to finally wipe that smile off of Sarah’s face, and simultaneously give her a real reason to smile.
Amazi-Girl’s gonna need a montage, MONTAGE!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pFrMLRQIT_k
Also Stony may be my new fave ship.
DOA ship, I mean. I’ve never been one to ship Avengers.
Plays “Balls on the Air” on the hacked Muzak for Amazi-Girl’s training montage.
I’m playing Saber Dance instead. The juggling music from the Ed Sullivan Show.

Huh. I remember the music but I guess I watched the plate-spinning episodes.
1. Nice of A-G to distract the crowd so Sarony can start some “us” time.
2. Love the subtle effect as they gaze all meet-cute-y into each other’s eyes. 🙂
where does Tony come into the DoA universe? He mentioned ‘team’, what sport?
American Football. He had a few brief appearances in the past.
His dad was married to Walky’s mom! Oh, and is the dean, too.
I can see Tony being a college football team member.
It’s difficult for me to see Paul, er, Incel-idiot, on that same team.
Unless maybe he was designated bench warmer.
I don’t think anyone is taking incelerator seriously, amazi-girl, don’t worry
Make out make out make out make out make out make out make out ma-
1. the new amazi girl costume IS great
2. I really really like that Tony is NOT smiling while he and Sarah are making eyes at each other.
3. this comic continues to repay the many years i’ve spent reading it with interest
YESSS I already love these two together and I know barely anything about this version of Tony!
Ahhhhhhh they’re so cute already!
The misanthropic meet-cute is growing on me.
I actually thought this was Amber.
This page is giving presplit Amber as Amazigirl vibes.
I actually really like this for Sarah. Tony seems like a good guy at heart, with a nice crusty exterior.
I hope they are not too similar to work. But if Sarah keeps up her new attitude, Pie Crust with sweet sweet cream , this could work.
Hm, maybe, but i hate the setup. “falling in love with a hero who saved you” is a really awful heteronormative cliché …
And yet, some people like it when it happens.
I mean she was in no danger.
I feel this is an interesting set up for some character exploration, but it’s a lousy one for “they’re a couple now.”
Sarah had been starting make progress through her interest in Jacob. Her current fake happy persona is a reaction to that failure, but not a positive one. If it’s either rewarded here or just dropped as she stumbles into a good relationship based on a weird meet-cute, I’d feel like it isn’t narratively earned.
Mind you, I don’t really expect that to happen. At least not without plenty of complications digging back into Sarah’s basic character issues. And probably drawing Jacob back into the mix as well.
I get Amazi-Girl. It’s sucky to get brushed off as if everything comes easily to you!
ok, that’s it, folks, it’s a romance for the ages!
Ah! We see Sarah smile for the first time in a while!
When she said that…I just thought of Team America “MONTAGE! GOTTA HAVE A MONTAGE!” I really wanna see, though, someone go “Where’s the beef?!” And then Beef shows up 😛
