What’s the rope attached to, you ask?
Same thing Spider-Man’s webs and Batman’s grapnel are usually attached to. The comic makes a lot more sense if you just assume dirigibles are common in this universe, and there’s always one just overhead, off-panel.
One day, advancements in drone technology might solve this issue for good.
I’m sure there’s attachment points on the ceiling, I’d be more curious about how she got it up there.
There’s a video of a guy riding a drone over Times Square like the Green Goblin.
Literally, Amber and Carla could team up to do something like that. Except Amber would be swinging from it!

It’s very specifically attached to the wiggly artsy structures on the ceiling that are there in real life! This isn’t one of those Spider-Man/Batman things! That grapple landed somewhere real! i even drew them
Amazi-Girl
Amazi-Girl
Barely stands five foot four
Is she strong? Is she bad?
Why does the girl who looks like her always act so sad?
Nice of the university to make their buildings Superhero Accessible.
Walky’s mom used to be known as White Woman.
She fell in love with the original Night Guy.
In some of the flashbacks/reboots she’s known as “Very White Woman”, or “Extremely White Woman”. I’m given to understand it depends on the writer.
Wheelchair accessible AND superhero accessible.
Professor Xessible.
Nice.
Indiana universities take ADA requirements _very_ seriously.
Aw! I was thinking one of these.
Ruttech is already confirmed to have some “over eager drones”, so sooner than you think.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/02-but-the-sun-still-shines/narcissistic/
Come to think of it, that “R” on the Ruttech drone looks an awful lot like the Team Rocket logo, hmm….
We start with this:
“Hello, human, I heard you talking about the jacket. Please state your size.
We need to clear up some warehouse space.”
And that inevitably leads to:
“Hello, superhero, I heard you wanting to exit this situation. Here is a contact point for your grapple. Please state your destination coordinates.”
When you read Dune, imagine Duncan Idaho with a cape, swinging in and out of every appearance. He’ll make much more sense as a character.
People don’t believe me when I say that the original Dune novels become about the power of Duncan Idaho to have sex with thousands of mind-controlling sex ninjas.
S’true
Tbf Mindcontrolling sex ninjas are just Basic Bene Gesserit ( Acolytes imprinters with voice and prana bibdu fighting) .
HM are something else
The bigger question is “What is she swinging towards”
The future!
And BEYOND !!!
Not here – she doesn’t live here!
Whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.
We owe a great debt to wizards.
How are you planning on paying your share?
“Save yourselves!”
“Free Silver!”
“People are Garbage”
“Up here we can be garbage!”
Not in the face! Not in the face!
Yeah, baby, yeah! I’m the Mad Midnight Bomber what bombs at midnight!
D’oh! Evil, not Mad. But also mad.
Tough kitty toenails! I’m makin’ gravy without the lumps!
alt text going to be wrong in 10 years when it turns out she’s been planted in the background since the beginning as a planned major character.
well well well another AG scene.
I assume the blonde on the left is this new girl.
Blond and Kokomo-shirt, two new characters!
How about “The Power…is Yours!”
Don’t think it’s in use right now…
Amber versus a kid with the Power Glove!
Maybe he’ll beat Sal’s record at Mario Kart.
I took that more as a Captain Planet reference.
Same. The Power Glove catchphrase would be:
“I love the Power Glove… It’s so bad.”
That’s the look of “we’ll talk about this later.” Hopefully Amber’s not in for a total surprise when the conversation happens…
That is a shitty catch phrase. Mine isn’t any better, “Being dead is boring, and coming back hurts. Just die the one time.”
Only because it’s too long. “Sorry, pal…I’m only dying the one time” is a perfect thing to say in fight scenes.
Hey, the banner is AG giving Paul a Dynamic Entry.
Ethan is so done with this shit.
“I wonder why the lady who held a knife to my throat is swinging over my head.”
Did I miss the strip where somebody bonked Ethan on the head and he got comedy amnesia?
I really wonder when Ethan is going to learn that emulating Mike ain’t a healthy coping mechanism.
A lot of the main cast “emulated Mike” already by default, hence the Doylist explanation of why he was done away with.
someone’s unimpressed
Yes depressed; not impressed.
I’m partial to “Random Bullshit GO” myself
Okay chat what name are we giving her
hmmm?
she looks like a “Christina”, but that just me XD
I’m feeling “Emma” for her, myself.
comment.upvote ++;^-^
Minerva “Minnie” Skovgaard, a theater major. She ditches class on occasion, refuses to read any book that’s not hard science fiction, watches Roz’s livestreams, and her favorite food is pork egg rolls.
Definitely Kari
Sandy
1. Rebel
2. Emma
She strikes me as a Svetlana.
Ylva. Spelled like it sounds.
Since Willis didn’t name her, I am saying the blonde girl is, “Jane Joanna Jameson.”
We’ll give her a name, and take away her number?
I got that reference.gif!
That would be good if she was the editor of the college newspaper, but Daisy has that job at the moment.
What if she’s Daisy’s baby sister who wants to be an Astronaut and date Mary Jane?
*rubs chin thoughtfully
I like where you’re going with this. Daisy needs some more drama in her life.
Jane Jangle Jinglehiemerschmidt
Closest thing I ever had to a catchphrase was “Never sign an NDA” for a conspiracy theorist character I made for a ttrpg with a futuristic setting.
Good catchphrases are much harder to come up with than people tend to think.
That sounds like one of the Rules of Acquisition.
I mean, “Never sign an NDA” is not bad advice, generally speaking. Neither non-disclosures nor non-competes.
Whether it is a TM, in-universe, is actually a fascinating question.
Holy shit BSD, are you Free, Net, or Open?
They are the Blue Screen of Death
No one hears your screams
Given I’m posting this on an iphone, mostly Open, I’m given to understand. But no, it’s not Berkeley System Design, it’s Big Scary Dave. (also: on this topic I am decidely Not Free).
“Always available; never free”
but reasonably priced for the housewife on the go
1 nickel
They should call her Shitty Catchphrase Girl™
Who called the Shitty Catchphrase Police?
J Joanna is just mad that Daisy is the editor of the magazine and not her!
Alright gang, time to mass vote for the nameless lady for the next bonus strip
Seconded but only if they put that girl who looks like Danny in too
How many times has she actually said that though?
We need a transcript search on this website.
Or to submit transcripts to OhNoRobot. (I’m not bothering to check if they’re already there.)
Behold! The first appearance of AG’s sidekick! Amazi-Lass!
…Look, it was be an unpaid intern superhero or an unpaid intern at a marketing place. Superhero was way cooler.
Catchphrase: Freaky fanfic, Amazi-Girl!
As A-G’s intern, she has to be Amber’s intern, too. That’s where the fanfic comes in.
Good career move. The latest batch of LLMs are murder on the marketing industry’s entry-level jobs. BUT ain’t any LLMs gonna affect the superheroing industry for quite a while.
While the market for LLMs and other AI is really large, turns our it’s also largely fraudulent

“Quick! To the Amazi-Cave! (Which is NOT a dorm room.)”
Nameless so far
Asher has seen Amazi-Girl. Amazi-Girl has seen Asher.
Like Cell locking eyes with Android 18 in Dragon Ball Z
Catchphrase lady went down in history as the only person to defeat Amazi-Girl.
Actually, that is not at all a shitty catchphrase, if you have seen “Foxfire” with Angelina Jolie. Her exiting line “I don’t even go here” is still one of the coolest catchphrases I’ve ever heard
COMING SOON 2025: CATCHPHRASE LADY’S SLIPSHINE
+1!
We need this. The whole campus is asking “Who’s Catchphrase Girl?”
Daisy wants to be in a triad.
Catchphrase lady has become DoA’s Hawk Tuah! When can we expect the inevitable rug pull?
That would, in fact, get me to re-up my subscription.
Just cuz im in a YOLO kinda mood rn, have an upvote!!!! ^^
Although we would probably get it on patreon, just sayin’ XD
Whaddaya mean “she doesn’t have a name”? She has an on-camera speaking part!
Also, hi Ethan.
Maybe she canonically doesn’t have a name. You could call her “Baby Girl LNU”.
Somebody in the comments called her Lauren; I’m stealing that for my DoA expanded headcanon universe.
You get an on-camera speaking line, you get your name in the credits. That’s just how it works.
No I am not a crackpot.
Ethan is thinking, “Maybe I should try supervillainy now.”
I do wonder what she thought Amazi-Girl would say. Does she have a catchphrase or was this her trying to tee her up for one?
I vote we have a poll!
Mine would be for, “I am not a Mary Sue! I train really hard!”
She’s totally not a Mary Sue. She’s more a Broken Bird sort of TV Trope.
Of course she’s not a Mary Sue. She’s an Amazi-Girl. It’s right there in her name!
Well, she’s expecting her to say “I’m Amazi-Girl, and I’m immune to criticism!” naturally.
Total callback.
And so begins Catchphrase Girl’s supervillain origin story.
I could’ve sworn Amazi-Girl had a catchphrase before, but maybe that was in the other universe. Or maybe I’m just remembering wrong.
Book 14: “That’s a Really Shitty Catchphrase”
My 2025 catchphrase is “Why are you complaining? This is exactly what you voted for, you stupid-ass motherfucker.”
Relative of mine is having something similarly worded printed on little stickers. She plans to go around putting them at gas stations, grocery shelves, and mail boxes.
Alas, if things still don’t go their way, they’ll probably just blame the Deep State or some other stupid reason that can’t be shot down with mere logic.
My favorite thing about the past few days has been conservative tech bros realizing that conservative policies would lose them their cheap labor, conservative POC immigrant professionals realizing that being “one of the good ones” isn’t enough to save you from people wanting to deport you and every other conservative realizing that profits trump principle with every single CEO. The infighting has been hilarious
Again, if you vote for a guy who explicitly plans to round you and your family up in a camp and/or have you deported, you lose the right to complain when that happens to you. It’s what you want, no take-backs.
That catchphrase is not for you, Sabrina… or Lauren… it’s for Jennifer. And Sal.
I like how someone is oblivious to the redesign, it’s all the same to ’em
It’s blue and yellow — it’s the same. Anybody who has ever shopped for breakfast cereal knows that the point of a packaging redesign is to make the product unrecognizable and impossible to find.
Good thing for Amazi-Girl that she’s immune to criticism!
What’s the rope hanging from? How does it swing her upwards? Wouldn’t the length of the rope required for a swing to carry her even this high make it very dangerous indoors?
THESE ARE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!!!
I refuse to take this comic seriously until they are answered.
But other than that, everything else makes perfect sense then?
“She doesn’t have a name…yet.”
There ya go. Fixed it for ya.
My “I don’t live here(TM)” catchphrase has people asking a lot of questions which are answered by my catchphrase.
Man, I was afraid of this. Incelorator led Amazigirl to the same room as Asher. Asher helped Blaine setup his evil plot on campus. He must of known how to contact Incelorator.
sweater lady is in 2 whole panels (that i know of) and doesn’t have a name
damn willis is slipping >:^o
Olivia
What so you mean, that’s a fantastic catchphrase.
not as good as “and I can breathe in space”
I like Cute Blonde Amazi-Girl Fan. I want to see more of her.
As far as catchphrases go, it could be worse. “I’m so tired” doesn’t sell toys after all.
No, but it does foreshadow your death at the hands of the Kingpin.
Did she actually say TM?
Asking the real question.
Submit your Blonde Girl names! You get two!
1. Straight Becky
2. Kat Fraise (Catch Phrase)
AG/Amber must be far-sighted. Amber always wears her glasses (when staring at screens) and AG almost never does (when overlooking campus from rooftops or swinging from grappling hooks).
Willis has said that A/A-G is only astigmatic. Anyone have the reference?
