Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
Hmm. Has anyone done “identical twins who share super powers and a superhero identity”? But only one at a time, so they can’t team up, they have to swap off.
Seems like it would be a 70s comic kind of thing, but I can’t think of anything similar.
Blaine was an extremely special case, because a large amount of his worldview was centred around his contempt for his daughter, and the idea she was the superhero who bested him just didn’t fit in there.
Amber is uncool and unpopular (like someone who’s keeping a secret identity would work to keep a distance to people) and a nerd (like someone who would come up with “my bones were rendered super dense in a lab accident” to explain being stronger than she looks), so obviously she’s the last person around who could be dressing up as a superhero.
Even by Jennifer Rules, her theory has holes– she knows Sal can climb out the window of her room. It would totally be reasonable to think she’d gotten past Jennifer. (But nothing gets past Jennifer. Her reflexes are too fast. She would catch it.)
I knoow it’s supposed to be funny, but it’s just not. I know way too many people like this. I’ve literally shown people evidence of things they didn’t want to believe only for them not only to deny it but then later on tell me a variation of “I got mine”.
I’m kinda at that point too. Jennifer thinking Sal was Amazi-Girl was hilarious back in the early days, but Sal and Amazi-Girl have basically nothing in common in terms of appearance beyond both being women. This is a gag that’s long outlived its usefulness, and has just gotten tired.
I was wondering if Jennifer even knew Amber, they’re in very few strips together, a lot of them they’re not even in the same place*. But she calls her by her name during Halloween, ironically when she’s dressed as AG.
*there is a scene they’re talking, and Amber tells Jennifer directly that she’s AG. She doesn’t believe her, though, and also she’s probably blackout drunk.
The one in pink/lavender is Denise, the redhead is Vanessa, and the tan blonde is The Casey. I’ve mentioned them before. Nice of Willis to include my OCs.
On her original birth certificate, that’s her middle name. Casey “The Casey” Courtney Callaghan, nicknamed “The Casey” on account of her initials. If you address her without the “The”, she straight up won’t even realise you’re talking to her because there was another Casey (last name Jenson) in her class all the way to 5th grade. Any time they were together something weird and dangerous would happen, which started a whole Thing™ in their social circle about the universe wanting to eliminate one of them. The two of them were in the same car on the way home from a friend’s birthday party, but a semi truck hit the car on Casey Jenson’s side, killing her instantly. Since that, Casey Callaghan has been called “The Casey”. She hated it at first, but after a few months passed she came around and let it stick, saying that if she has to be The Casey who survived she’ll live enough for both of them.
Worst. Lois at least manages to get interviews with Superman, win his heart and help expose Lex Luther’s dastardly schemes. Jennifer can’t even get pictures of Amazi-girl, is disliked by pretty much everybody, and would ignore Lex Luther to follow Jimmy around all day trying to prove he was Superman.
Woman have too many things going on! Either shouting about the sighting of a costumed vigilante, or ignorantly denying the appearance of said vigilante. Even just walking away from the scene of said vigilante incident that you were a part of but under your civilian identity. How’s an average guy supposed to compete with this?! Mary Sue’s the lot of them! Especially if their names could be Mary or Sue! Someone should tell people about this!
Infor one do not care about the names of random students who aren’t important to the story and who we’ll likely never see again, also the utter cluelessness of Jenny Not-Billie (that’s her Skyrim Nord name [seriously, I get not wanting your nickname anymore, but who demands the stuffy “Jennifer” when “Jenny” is right there?]) vis-a-vis Amber is Amazi-Girl is one of the most classically cartoon-y bits in the comic and I am all the way here for it.
The comparison to Lois Lane people keep making is the wrong one. It should be Lex Luthor.
You see, Luthor was presented with evidence that Clark Kent was Superman, multiple times in fact, and rejected it. He could not accept that someone will that power would just act like a nobody. He couldn’t get over his own preconceptions.
It gets funnier with scenes where Lex Luthor actually likes Clark Kent. Either because they were childhood friends or because Clark is a humble mortal who doesn’t threaten Lex’s ego.
Have Jen and Amber ever really been around each other much? Is this yet another rare pair interaction? I don’t know why but this moment feels like they don’t even know each other’s names.
I put a note on my google calendar for December 2034 to revisit this. The cast should be in their sophomore year by then. Let’s see what Jenn-, Bill-, er, whatever, thinks then!
Ok we all know Amber will reveal herself as Amazi-Girl at some point. But what would fit in better with her trash goblin tendencies: waiting a while, or doing it right away?
Amazi-Girl seems to take the secret ID bit seriously, and I think Amber’s got enough sense not to be a trash goblin to Amazi-Girl. It’s not like she can avoid her until it blows over.
I feel like tons of people get mad about the levels of plot armor Batman and Superman have though. I see fewer people piling onto Wonder Woman than Batman online at least. And most people who don’t understand Superman (because lots of writers don’t know how to write Superman) flat out declare him boring and tired because of it.
Not defending incels overlooking Gary-Stus, I don’t know too many media examples since I am woefully behind in pop culture but I don’t doubt it happens, I just feel like those two are very very much called out on it online [or at least in the circles I choose to exist in.]
I’m calling it now, the moment Jennifer sees any video evidence of Amazi-Girl fighting Paul she’s gonna be convinced that Ambg is just a classic copycat döppleganger. Or maybe she realizes she’s wrong but imo Jennifer being incredibly wrong about things like this is like one if my favorite character bits.
*strums guitar* never change, girl.
*strums guitar again* in fact i hope you get a lil’ worse, it’s a really funny character flaw to consistently engage in… girl.
I’m reminded of the strip where Jen said she’s an excellent judge of character, followed by flashbacks disproving her, including an immediate reprisal of her claiming she’s a good judge of character.
Amber knows to stay away from mirrors! Can’t see yourself as amaz-girl then. Though I guess in contect, Amber and Amaz-Girl never really see eye to eye, They are aware the other party exists, but can never see the other.
Also my god this is going to be even more humiliating for Jennifer than it already is if she’s going to insist Sal is A-G and that means there’s a new pretender involved that she has to unveil as a fraud and the whole time she is too arrogant to realize that occam’s razor says “you’re just wrong.”
She does wear glasses. As a person who also wears glasses with vision so poor they fail to fully correct it I can believe Jennifer actually doesn’t know what anyone looks like.
I don’t know what’s better: Jennifer whole heartedly believes Sal is a good person who dresses up like a Vigilante to help people or there Jennifer Believes Sal is Amazigirl and is too prideful to think that could be incorrect

That’s our Jenningsworth! ʱªʱªʱª(ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)
This is Kuno-level obliviousness to the truth.
And all the while the real story is right under her nose. I refer, of course, to the continuing invasion of the university by women with no names.
How do they even fill in the application forms???
Or get financial aid? Lemme tell ya, the government _really_ wants your name on those things.
It started with the artist formally known as Prince, and then one person managed to change their name to:
and then all heck broke loose.
They don’t have names yet !
They don’t have names unless he decides to give them to them five years later.
Bingo!
And he’ll absolutely come back here and tag this strip with their names, and boy won’t all our comments look foolish!
There were no mirrors down there so this is true.
Time for headcanons: do these ladies know each other? Maybe they’re like, a Sierra/Mandy/Grace from another hall.
Each hall has their own trio of women that group with each other. This is canon now.
And when one group has a falling out, they transfer to other halls and switch to another triad!
I joked about a slipshine for catchphrase lady yesterday, but maybe now it’s for all three? So they can know each other carnally I guess
It’s carnonical!
Lookin’ forward to the Slipshine “Orgy of the Nameless Women”!
For some reason that sounds like an abandoned movement from The Nutcracker.
It’s from the little-known lesbian porn parody of The Nutcracker, called The Nutlackers.
At this point Jennifer could be told straight up that Amber is Amazi-Girl and she would still say no.
She was.
It gets even dumber.
Jennifer is after a news story. Totally ignores a possible Amazi-Girl lead *and* a fight in the halls.
She’s so focused on the hunt for the story she wants that she doesn’t see the story right in front of her. It’s a classic newbie newsie blunder.
“IDENTICAL TWINS JOIN CHRONICLE STAFF”
Hmm. Has anyone done “identical twins who share super powers and a superhero identity”? But only one at a time, so they can’t team up, they have to swap off.
Seems like it would be a 70s comic kind of thing, but I can’t think of anything similar.
totally ignores a possible Amazi-Girl lead while talking to Amizi-Girl’s alter. ~<3
It could only be better if Amazi-Girl was still fronting, but she was in their street clothes.
I mean, Walky did exactly that, and apparently she didn’t believe him.
She probably wouldn’t even believe it if Amber told her.
Blaine didn’t believe it either, at first, even when Amber was dressed as AG. Is a SEP field involved?
Blaine was an extremely special case, because a large amount of his worldview was centred around his contempt for his daughter, and the idea she was the superhero who bested him just didn’t fit in there.
It occurs to me that Blaine is not so different from Peter Griffin.
(1) That was Walky, and Bil-, er, Jenn, has opinions about him.
(2) Jenn is good at doubling down. Tripling down.
Amber is uncool and unpopular (like someone who’s keeping a secret identity would work to keep a distance to people) and a nerd (like someone who would come up with “my bones were rendered super dense in a lab accident” to explain being stronger than she looks), so obviously she’s the last person around who could be dressing up as a superhero.
AND she has glasses! A-G does NOT have glasses. How obvious can it be???
Hilarious
Even by Jennifer Rules, her theory has holes– she knows Sal can climb out the window of her room. It would totally be reasonable to think she’d gotten past Jennifer. (But nothing gets past Jennifer. Her reflexes are too fast. She would catch it.)
True. It’s the whole reason she suspects Sal in the first place!

This is one of Willis’ best perspective strips.
it’s cause they’ve come to associate having to admit they’re wrong with being denied rising social status or power in the future 9-9
I’m kinda at that point too. Jennifer thinking Sal was Amazi-Girl was hilarious back in the early days, but Sal and Amazi-Girl have basically nothing in common in terms of appearance beyond both being women. This is a gag that’s long outlived its usefulness, and has just gotten tired.

This woman is dense in a way that was previously only thought to be possible by Walky
+1 And she is someone who is a sister by another mother for Walky.
Jennifer was rendered super dense in a lab accident.
Darn it: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/04-the-bechdel-test/weigh/
Just give Jennifer all the Pulitzers now, you can’t top this level of investigative journalism.
The one in pink/lavender is Denise, the redhead is Vanessa, and the tan blonde is The Casey. I’ve mentioned them before. Nice of Willis to include my OCs.
I thought The Casey looked like a Courtney.
On her original birth certificate, that’s her middle name. Casey “The Casey” Courtney Callaghan, nicknamed “The Casey” on account of her initials. If you address her without the “The”, she straight up won’t even realise you’re talking to her because there was another Casey (last name Jenson) in her class all the way to 5th grade.

Like the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled?
If thing you say does things I say, then sure.
More DoA expanded universe canon!
Don’t be silly. Those girls are Trudy, Trudi, and Troodee.
Not even that one in front with the ample bosoms?
So is Jennifer the best or the worst Lois Lane?
“lol owned”
She is Louis Lane if she had hit herself in the head a few times.
Worst. Lois at least manages to get interviews with Superman, win his heart and help expose Lex Luther’s dastardly schemes. Jennifer can’t even get pictures of Amazi-girl, is disliked by pretty much everybody, and would ignore Lex Luther to follow Jimmy around all day trying to prove he was Superman.
She really has AG’s number, if she reads it like 616 instead of 919.
3 more unnamed women? Damn you alt-text (&Willis)
Jennifer’s complete and utter conviction that Sal is AG, no matter how much evidence contradicts it, is probably my favorite thing about her.
I’m getting the feeling that when it falls apart for Jennifer, it’s going to ALL fall apart at once.
A little worried for her now given her alcohol issues. Could cause a relapse.
Jennifer: “If I was wrong about Amazi-Girl, what else have I been wrong about?”
Walky: *sucks in air through his teeth*
She hasn’t drunk since the time skip, though.
Thus “could cause a relapse”.
This is a good opportunity to remind Willis that we would pay money to be in this strip.
He’d get thousands of us on that. He’d be booked up for a decade plus.
She didn’t look in a mirror so, technically, she DIDN’T see Anazi-Girl there…
You are technically correct; the best kind of correct.
A nazi-girl is whoever the Red Skull is dating. I’m pretty sure she won’t turn up in this comic.
AG’s getting pretty popular eh
There’s going to be a second bonus book about all these supposedly unnamed characters, and the buffer will go from 18 months to 6 months.
I don’t even think that DC check for Deception was that high.
“That is mind boggling. I’ve never seen someone roll so many 1s in a row like that. With different dice. What are the friggin’ odds?”
The DC was a 3 and Amber had advantage.
Woman have too many things going on! Either shouting about the sighting of a costumed vigilante, or ignorantly denying the appearance of said vigilante. Even just walking away from the scene of said vigilante incident that you were a part of but under your civilian identity. How’s an average guy supposed to compete with this?!

I love you Jennifer but Jesus Christ you are bad at this journalism thing
satan only knows she could still make for a news anchor what with all that makeup she can buy with her parents’ money 9-9
She needs to dye her hair blonde and start working for whoever replaced Robin in the Senate.
Chett Manly?
worse comes to worse, afaik Fox News is always looking for more liberal straw-persons (-_-)
Have Jen and Amber ever really been around each other much? Is this yet another rare pair interaction? I don’t know why but this moment feels like they don’t even know each other’s names.

Rare, but she knows her name. https://www.dumbingofage.com/doesnt/
Jennifer talked Walky’s mom out of using her influence to have Amber thrown out of college as a favor to Walky and Sal.
Jennifer will never find out!
It is my favourite thing!
13 YEARS of this so far.

Note that Gary Stus don’t exist to the incels.
Batman and Superman are the best at everything but they never get accused of it.
Wonder Woman? Black Canary? Absolutely.
I feel like tons of people get mad about the levels of plot armor Batman and Superman have though. I see fewer people piling onto Wonder Woman than Batman online at least. And most people who don’t understand Superman (because lots of writers don’t know how to write Superman) flat out declare him boring and tired because of it.

Ah yes, there’s obviously NO WAY for someone who wears an identity-concealing costume to be in two places at once. There’s NO POSSIBLE EXPLANATION!
It’s gonna be hilarious when Jennifer finally learns that Sal is not Amazi-Girl.
What the hell you talking about?
OH! Okay, yeah, I get it (sorry, all slow this morning, no coffee yet).
Sal is not A-G. Totally.
*wink wink elbow elbow
I’m calling it now, the moment Jennifer sees any video evidence of Amazi-Girl fighting Paul she’s gonna be convinced that Ambg is just a classic copycat döppleganger. Or maybe she realizes she’s wrong but imo Jennifer being incredibly wrong about things like this is like one if my favorite character bits.
*strums guitar* never change, girl.
*strums guitar again* in fact i hope you get a lil’ worse, it’s a really funny character flaw to consistently engage in… girl.
That is a shitty song
Cognitive dissonance is Jennifer’s superpower.
“…and it’s not likely she’s snuck past me.”
I’m reminded of the strip where Jen said she’s an excellent judge of character, followed by flashbacks disproving her, including an immediate reprisal of her claiming she’s a good judge of character.
Amber didn’t pass in front of a mirror, sooooo, truthful?
>>these women don’t have names either, i’m sorry<<
Like being a day player or extra in a movie. I've been around THAT block a few times.
“No mirror nearby.”
“Yeah, thought so.”
“No ‘wait, what?'”?
“What?”
Jennifer’s a regular Sam Spade. She’s a Lois Lane, that one. World’s Greatest Detective, even.
Sorry, Batman, you’ve been replaced.
Okay, we’re getting heavily into Lois Lane territory here. Do we need Tempus to come along and ask the historical question?
goddammit jennifer
Is Billy in a competition with Lois Lane for the least observant person on the planet? I can only imagine her mistaking Joe for Night Guy.
Amber knows to stay away from mirrors! Can’t see yourself as amaz-girl then. Though I guess in contect, Amber and Amaz-Girl never really see eye to eye, They are aware the other party exists, but can never see the other.
Yay for truthfulness through loopholes!
Unrelated: something is wrong with the universe — my pick in the current poll is not dead last.
Jennifer’s just doing her own research.
HAHAHHAHAA XD
Amber is technically not lying here. She did not see herself there.
Also my god this is going to be even more humiliating for Jennifer than it already is if she’s going to insist Sal is A-G and that means there’s a new pretender involved that she has to unveil as a fraud and the whole time she is too arrogant to realize that occam’s razor says “you’re just wrong.”
I mean, this new pretender couldn’t even get the costume right.
Or the catchphrase.
I mean, how many acrobatic parkour capable people with strong senses of justice do YOU know in RL?
Jennifer… you’re Jennifering all over the place. You need to stop before somebody else starts using you for failure-verbs instead of Danny.
CarlaJennifer is face-blind. She recognizes people by their walk, demeanor, and how they enter a room.She does wear glasses. As a person who also wears glasses with vision so poor they fail to fully correct it I can believe Jennifer actually doesn’t know what anyone looks like.
alcoholism may have also unfortunately taken a toll on those faculties as well
Ok, this one’s genuinely hilarious. Well played Willis.
I don’t know what’s better: Jennifer whole heartedly believes Sal is a good person who dresses up like a Vigilante to help people or there Jennifer Believes Sal is Amazigirl and is too prideful to think that could be incorrect
I mean. Her logics infallible.
