dina did bring one and she tried calling amber several times. but she also put amber’s phone on silent so amber wouldn’t be disturbed. she’s such a thoughtful roommate.
And this is what happens when you try to run your alarm clock on something besides batteries. Dina is no substitute, regardless of how adorable she is.
Well what is the current time frame in the strip? There really should not be any major WoW raid content patches that match up here.
If the current time still has them in the beginning of Freshman year as of 2010, then this is the dead time before Cataclysm was released. That means there was no raid worth content out then, unless Amber thought she was a much better player then she really is, and is raiding the tail end of ICC.
Y’know what, Amber? I got no sympathy. You’re an adult. You should know how to use an alarm clock. If you sleep past when you meant to, that’s your own gorram problem.
It’s only like what, the lowest base requirement placed on her as a living being? Might as well complain that someone else didn’t remember to chew her food for her and carry her to the table.
I can see where you’re coming from. That’s a very strongly worded promise. Almost uncharacteristic of such her really. The way Amber made such a polite and respectful request must’ve really spoken to her. My mistake.
Even going so far as to solemnly vow not to watch Amber while she slept? This was heavy shit. Don’t know how I forgot about that. What with the conviction she delivers them with, I’d think her words would’ve been carved into my very soul.
Yeah, but Amber is still responsible for Amber. There’s a reason I never rely on someone else to get me up on time for anything, and that’s because stuff like this happens. Asking your roomie to wake you should be a fallback in case your alarm doesn’t go off or doesn’t wake you up.
I thought that too. I thought, “Why is Mike standing behind Ethan and not Amber? Don’t they live in the same apartment? Oh wait, the panels are horizontal.”
I’m also Canadian, but even if it get’s dark earlier in mid-winter, most people still consider “evening” to start at 6, or in some cases 7 PM. Just because it’s dark doesn’t mean you get out of work earlier. Likewise we wouldn’t consider it “not evening yet” at 9pm when the sun sets in mid-summer. In the modern age, the clocks rule our lives more than the sunshine (with the possible exception of farmers).

I consider 4 late afternoon, moving into evening. Evening officially starts at 5 for me, but that’s cuz I live up nort (ya der hey). For a third of the year, it’s fully dark by that time.
1st to 3rd Slide:
Me: Faz….face? O_O…it just….looks so weird…yet so right. ugh.
5th:
Me: Alright…her face is almost back to normal now. May I never see her with a faz face ever again.
Loading ...
But’s that’s the BEST o’clock!
Also, did this really just happen?
Guilded Age/Dumbing of Age crossover?
Dina forget to borrow a phone?
She was accidentally swept up in the crowd, she probably just got confused and forgot about Amber.

?
Amber asked Dina to wake her at 2pm. With Dina at the beach and it now being 4pm, that obviously didn’t happen.
I suppose she really needed that WoW raid.

That is why play tf2.
maybe they should have waited until Rape O’Clock.
(Old meme I know but I couldn’t resist)
Dude, too soon. (Although for memes, I suppose no time is too soon.)
What about Douchebag O’Clock?

In Jurassic Park, amber was important for preserving dino D.N.A.
In D.O.A, Amber will destroy Dina with fire!
Of course, the first thing I thought after reading that last panel is
“Hey, it’s that font!”
Between this and the last Shortpacked, I’m seriously starting to think Amber might be evil.
Yes, I know, “Comes with the boobs”.
So, what you’re saying is that anyone with boobs are evil?
Not counting Santa, of course.
Only because Santa comes from Bizarro world. Not a lot of people know he’s Kingpin’s counterpart. Tru Fax.
Not my quote. Amber’s quote.
Ethan: I keep forgetting you are secretly evil.
Amber: Comes with the boobs.
Personally, I’ve always thought boobs were great. Slightly hypnotic, of course, but not actually evil.
Do man-boobs make you evil too?
Only if you find them hypnotic. Personally, I do not.
This happened to me in college a few times. And then I started setting my alarm on free days, too.
When my alarm clock stopped going off reliably, this happened to me too.
Uh oh. Dab used the two sleeping Ambers as a bridge between the universes and has taken this one over.
Oh, my god, Amber has Faz face in the first panel!!! Yessss!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! *mirror shatters*
Not smiling = Not a Faz face.
How ’bout now?
Shhh, don’t invoke his presence!
Faz is like the Candy Man?
He’s like the King in Yellow, only you don’t have to say his name three times. Or at all.
The horrors you have unleashed…
OH JOHN RINGO NO
LIKE
NEEDS MOAR FAZ
I suppose that’s about how things would go for Batman if he had a college roommate instead of a butler.

Well, it’s just that Dina -said- she would.
…I’m not as grumpy as the avatar makes me out to be, I promise!
Does the lack of refusal entail consent?
No, promising you will might though.

well damn. That wasn’t there when I first started reading this page.
Lol fair enough. That can count. In that case she also sucks for not bringing waffles though >:(

Well, that answers that question.
“I want her DEAD, her family DEAD, I want her house burn to the ground”.
When you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, and when you can’t join ’em, BURN THEIR HOUSE TO THE GROUND!
I want this to be a meme so badly
Would you like fries with that?
I’m sad Mike’s face is not visible in the last panel. I bet he’s turned on.
He’s got wood.
and a 9-Iron.
And a p-wedge. The p does NOT stand for “pitching” this time.
Amber, I totally know how this feels. I once went to bed, expecting to wake up around 7:30.
The next thing I knew, it was 10:00.
And I set my alarm clock, but the damn thing doesn’t go off reliably.
Wait, what?
I was waiting for this to happen! 😀
You know, I actually thought I had gone to the Shortpacked Website instead for a moment…
You’re not alone there. 😛
Same here XD Then I noticed in the first panel before reading the rest that they were standing in a hallway.
I thought that too. I thought, “Why is Mike standing behind Ethan and not Amber? Don’t they live in the same apartment? Oh wait, the panels are horizontal.”
Evening? At four? If you ask me, evening doesn’t start until six-ish.
I know I’m farther north than this setting, but it gets dark as early as 4 pm here in the winter. It’s quite depressing, really.
I’m also Canadian, but even if it get’s dark earlier in mid-winter, most people still consider “evening” to start at 6, or in some cases 7 PM. Just because it’s dark doesn’t mean you get out of work earlier. Likewise we wouldn’t consider it “not evening yet” at 9pm when the sun sets in mid-summer. In the modern age, the clocks rule our lives more than the sunshine (with the possible exception of farmers).
you’re not old enough. as for me? it’s dinner at four, followed by the news and the wheel of fortune, and then it’s off to bed.
Mike’s eyebrow raise in the second panel makes it look kind of like he’s checking Amber out. . .
Dare I hope?
(otp!)
Amber’s teeth in last panel: JAWS! OF! DEATH! JAWS! OF! DEATH!
Sigh… it happens in this strip too. I see Mike and my cock gets all hard…. and he’s the STRAIGHT one. oy
😉
Except for that time he f@$#ed a man to help drive a wedge between two best friends.
“That’s my boy!
….no wait, that’s actually kind of disturbing….”
Oh – could I volunteer to help him!
😉
50 comments? Must be a slow day today. Then again, it is the day after Christmas.
That’s real life for ya.

HAHAHA Dina was supposed to wake her XD
Who ever decided that 4pm was evening anyway? Is this a normal thing where you’re from? I wouldn’t call it evening until 6 or preferably 7….
I consider 4 late afternoon, moving into evening. Evening officially starts at 5 for me, but that’s cuz I live up nort (ya der hey). For a third of the year, it’s fully dark by that time.
I don’t get it. Why is Amber angry?
She wanted to join a WoW raid at 2, but she woke up too late and will probably blame Amber for not waking her up.
So she’s going to blame herself, for trusting in Dina to wake her up 😀
Whoops, I meant to say Dina. Kinda divided by zero there, didnt I?
1st to 3rd Slide:
Me: Faz….face? O_O…it just….looks so weird…yet so right. ugh.
5th:
Me: Alright…her face is almost back to normal now. May I never see her with a faz face ever again.
“We’ve got a day off from school. LETS ALL GO ON VACATION!”
When did this become an anime?
