Haha, massive fail on my part. Clearly I should’ve said “two extra letters” rather than syllables, but I suppose it spawned a thread that even Willis commented on so…good work, stupid me!

I love and hate battletoads! one of the most craziest games that made anyone who can beat it without cheats a legend and god at the same time I could only make it the lv 10 or 11 without cheats in the NES version
This. I like when this happens. In fact, I had to explain the Yellowstone Supervolcano to somebody the other week. I used my old Scientific American too…teacups and trashcans! XD
I like to imagine that Amber is such a dork that she actually owns two copies of Mario Kart 7 already. One to use as herself, and a back-up one for just such an occasion as this.
The female equivalent of butler is not a maid. A housekeeper is closer in status and duty to a butler than a maid is. Traditionally, butlers are male and are in charge of the male staff while the housekeepr is female and in charge of the female staff, but in a modern setting there is no reason why a female couldn’t be a butler or a male a housekeeper.
You’re reading too much into that. I’m assuming Danny meant 3DS.
The 3DS you could use streetpass to narrow down who someone is by simply checking every time the green light (streetpass) comes on, who was found. In a classroom environment, it’s a process of elimination.
Besides, how many people put their real name on things? It’s a large campus, there’s bound to be at least 100 people with one. It would take a very long time.
but some games on ds, including mario kart ds, took advantage of a friends list. if his opponent on the game was already on his friends list, he could narrow it down to anyone he’s played against.
I’m not even into hand-held games, and I have to admit that the DS is awesome. Sony could never hope to compete with Nintendo in that particular aspect, try as they might (though their efforts have been lackluster at best).
The webcomic time is so slow in DoA that the same student who started the school year with a 320 Gigabyte HD Notebook will most likely finish the year with a Zettabyte holographic brainchip implant.
Sorry to tell ya, but by amazi-girl’s “butler” she really means Amber because she probably does the cleaning in the dorm room because obviously Dina is too busy hiding in the shadows and on the phone answering the call for vengeance.
In the last panel I find it very easy to convince myself that Amazi-girl has eyes looking in opposite directions, with the one partially under her hair. Once you’ve seen that, it’s the derpiest facial expression ever.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
me, last year: okay, starting a kickstarter on Hugest Solar Eclipse Day of Your Entire Life may have been a bad idea, let's not start on a worse day next year
me, this year: uh oh
as with book 12, maggie has put together a video for the new kickstarter

I think danny needs glasses or a new brain.
maybe he knows and he’s just messin’ with her
This is Danny we are talking about.
Joy would be able to figure this out
So Danny MIGHT be able to
Who’s Joy?
Joyce if you don’t feel like remembering the second syllable
“Joyce” does not have a second syllable.
You mean it’s not pronounced “joy-see”?
I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced Joe-yuh-kuh-ay.
@Izzy: I think it’s pronounced joys, just as in toys.
Think about it, still two syllables. Count how many mouth/lip movements you need to make.
1st to sound out Joy/Toy
2nd to add the “S” sound which is a downplayed “suh” sound.
Hell it could even 3 considering joy is Jo-ee
In other words everything they taught you about syllables in elementary is kinda a lie.
I’ve decided my name has five syllables!
Day-ee-vee-ud-duh
Though if I were really trying hard, I could probably get another three or four syllables out of there. Maybe Dee-ay-ee-vee-uh-duh. There’s six!
Or maybe I should just look at a dictionary, which confirms Joyce is just one syllable, and I’m being incredibly obtuse. “Jois.”
Joyce rhymes with Voice.
Haha, massive fail on my part. Clearly I should’ve said “two extra letters” rather than syllables, but I suppose it spawned a thread that even Willis commented on so…good work, stupid me!
I figured that’s what you meant. Apparently, pointing this out was dangerous.
I did not expect this.
It’s Joe and Joyces fusion fan-character they made up. they have sex with people while spouting the morals of jesus christ.
I read those words, and then my head made a picture, AND NOW I CAN’T UNSEE IT!
then my plan was successful…
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I did the same, and now i can’t stop laughing!

Are we talking Historical Jesus or Picture Bible Jesus?
I vote Buddy Christ. He seems like more of a party guy.
This… needs to happen
How is this un-like every other American Christian?
Yeah…@Yotomoe

“If I seem rediculousely good at a game I’ve never played before, it’s because I had to train hard to be the best at everything”
“I’m Amazi-Girl. I can breathe in space.”
But canshe finish Battletoads?
“I’m Amazi-Girl. I have the high score in Battletoads.”
(Incidentally, this was the first I heard of Battletoads. Fortunately, this is the Age of teh Internetz!)
You never heard about Battletoads until now?
How young are you?
Hey now. I’m 22, and I hadn’t heard of Battletoads until about two months ago. 8~P
Battletoads came out in the early 90s, so you most likely need to be at least in your late 20s/early 30s now to have played it as a kid.
I love and hate battletoads! one of the most craziest games that made anyone who can beat it without cheats a legend and god at the same time I could only make it the lv 10 or 11 without cheats in the NES version
I’m 22 and battletoads was of the first games i ever
played, that and castlevania III. oh i miss u handme
down NES
Not to mention, have had an NES. 8~P
We had a Sears Video Arcade II (Sears’ American version of the Japanese Atari 2800), and that’s it. (Solaris ftw.)
Re: “How young are you?”
Other way round, PM, and old enough that I won’t say.
So you’re also old enough to get senior discounts at the chemists?
Pheh, I’m 36 and I’ve only barely heard of it.
Some of us had lives as children. And then there was me, spending all my time off reading.
But kids who played video games had tons of lives, you needed all the 1UPs just to finish the game sometimes.

What’s Wiggler?
This guy!
http://www.google.com/imgres?q=wiggler&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1366&bih=664&tbm=isch&tbnid=l2cP0TO9Vpv8kM:&imgrefurl=http://mario.wikia.com/wiki/Wiggler&docid=edjQC_dyMsdtZM&imgurl=http://images.wikia.com/mario/images/8/8b/Wig-geler.jpg&w=433&h=330&ei=P3m0T4eRBsW42wWZ5-0o&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=514&vpy=183&dur=2283&hovh=196&hovw=257&tx=118&ty=108&sig=107654064731792821206&page=1&tbnh=131&tbnw=199&start=0&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:92
Can’t he find out who she really is from the versus records?
I like to imagine that Amber is such a dork that she actually owns two copies of Mario Kart 7 already. One to use as herself, and a back-up one for just such an occasion as this.
Yes, he can. Which will lead to Danny discovering that Amber is Amazigirl’s butler.
This then begs the question… when did Sal hire Amber as her butler? (And why is a girl a butler instead of a maid?)
Because it’s the 21st century, man! Girls can be whatever they want!
But can Amber pull off the Bifauxnen look?
The female equivalent of butler is not a maid. A housekeeper is closer in status and duty to a butler than a maid is. Traditionally, butlers are male and are in charge of the male staff while the housekeepr is female and in charge of the female staff, but in a modern setting there is no reason why a female couldn’t be a butler or a male a housekeeper.

And this is coming from a 360 player.
“-Wait, where have I seen this Player name before?
-Amber123 is a very common username.
-Oh yeah, right.”
-ugh this guy keeps beating us
-what’s his username?
-mikebangsyourmom25
Shouldn’t that be mikebangsyourmom45?
or worst
mikebangsyourmom69
Well that’s some pretty heavy innuendo if I’ve ever seen it.
CONTINUITY ALERT:
Wiggler’s only in Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS, which is reflected in the art… but isn’t Dumbing of Age set BEFORE MK7 and the 3DS came out?
Sigh.
See #4: http://www.dumbingofage.com/about/
The About page links to TVTRopes, you fiend!
Does #3 include Danny?
Does #5 include any other character?
What is this continuity you speak of?
CONTINUITY!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyPh8aIdR-4
Continuity is for the weak, SolarisPrime.
The webcomic time is so slow in DoA that the same student who started the school year with a 320 Gigabyte HD Notebook will most likely finish the year with a Zettabyte holographic brainchip implant.
So if they’re playing on 3DS, then this is when Danny discovers her secret identity because she forgot to disable StreetPass tags?
No, the real continuity error is that Danny is using a 3DS color that does not exist in America at this point, and will be an error until it does.
Yeah, he only has one of those crummy monochrome 3DS’s instead.
Aw, that’s sweet. I
hate sweet. Get me photos, photos of Amazi-Girl.
have them on my desk by Monday Parrker!…i mean Wilcox!
And make certain she has a chest window! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with my bathtub…
d’aww, Danny, you’re so lovably dense. <3
With his wiggler.
She’s got dibs on the wiggler.
I hope her butler is a Serville Snarker.
Sorry to tell ya, but by amazi-girl’s “butler” she really means Amber because she probably does the cleaning in the dorm room because obviously Dina is too busy hiding in the shadows and on the phone answering the call for vengeance.
Wait…so you’re saying that Amazi-Girl is Dina?! My god, it all makes sense now!
As dense as he is it seems to be working.
He’s meant to be with her. It’s his density.
for someone to be that dense, this girl’s gotta matter a lot.
So says Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan!
this is heavy.
There’s that word again: “heavy.” Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?
We’ll have to weight to find out.
Wait a sec, a guy named Danny who is somewhat dense and clueless? I know I’ve seen it from somewhere.
…..danny phantom?
Danny devito?
Dan in real life?
The first one.
And then I saw her FACE!
Now I’m a BELIEVER!
I hope Amber remembers to switch her Mii to one that’s not her usual one.
Calling it now, he knows.
Yep, and he’s just playing along.
That would be terribly romantic.
Well, if he doesn’t, then the whole DS friend code thing will give it away…
i really like this comic
In the last panel I find it very easy to convince myself that Amazi-girl has eyes looking in opposite directions, with the one partially under her hair. Once you’ve seen that, it’s the derpiest facial expression ever.
Also panel 3 is daaawwwwww.
He would be the perfect bf for her, if he weren´t into her alter ego that is. XD
I’m pretty sure the purple DS is not quite out yet. Looks like you were just a week or so early.
1) Sigh. See #4.
2) That DS is not purple. It’s blue.
Not exactly, That color blue is not the blue that we get in America. That color is only in japan right now.
Meh, give it a week.
Note that there is no such thing as unavailable in the Willisverse!
IS THIS HOW YOU HIT ON WOMEN?! OFFER TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES WITH THEM?!
This is how I hit on women. it works 10% of the time. Some girls just wanna beat you at brawl. (they won’t though cuz i’m awesome)
Hey, I would give an arm and a leg to have a girl play Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with me.
YES. It is the perfect way to hit on women. At least, to hit on women who like video games.
Vengeance can wait.
meanwhile the entire chess team is getting beaten to a pulp by the cool kids.
If they allow the cool kids to get within beating range without a plan, then they’re obviously not a very good chess team.
Remember, three moves ahead.
3 moves
cower, cry, call mommy.
o3o ironically I think everyone on my schools chess team could kick my ass.
this may be my favorite comic in this series
Today I realised I think David Willis’s writing is kinda good and, also, funny.
…. and after getting that gravatar I instantly change my mind
Why do I get the feeling Danny figured out who she is?
Probably because you’re giving him too much credit.
What version of Mario Kart has Wiggler being playable?
The 3DS one
“if you’ve looked through the entire archive for hovertext, congratulations, here is some.”
WIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSS
ikr finding that was my finest moment in obsessive webcomic-reading
And now it is mine too.
GODS. I love this comic way too much.
I cracked up laughing like a maniac.
Well played, Willis.
I don’t know why I have the urge to shake my fist in his direction considering that he technically gave me what I was looking for
Because he is the Monkey Paw of comics. It’s just what he -does-.
I have indeed looked through the whole archive to look for hovertext!
I was just re-reading for fun, the hovertext was a bonus
The introduction to the greatest character in any Willis-Universe: Hover Text
Hooooooovvvvvveeeeeerrr Teeeeeeeeeeext! I knew if I was persistent enough the strip would give up on not having hovertext and have some!
