Not quite. They were vibroswords. A lightsaber resistant sword with a high-powered vibration motor in it so that the many, many people… the three people on your party who are neither Jedi nor droids… don’t get slashed to ribbons by the waves of Jedi/dark Jedi you fight. Of course, it was really only smart to leave one or two of those three using the vibroswords, so effectively everyone who wasn’t a Jedi was stuck taking the blaster train to stupidtown.
The weird thing is that this is one of my favorite games ever, despite the blaster train to stupidtown.
(nerd voice) Uh, excuse me, but when Amazi-Girl fought Vibesabre in issue #66, she clearly won, and the only reason Vibesabre got away is that Amazi-Girl had to go help Dina-Soar with Fazalicious. And although Vibesabre won in issue #78, it’s a technicality because she was backed up by FundiMary and Amazi-Girl was tired from killing spiders all night.
gawd, i know, all these fake fans getting their watered down continuity from the amazi-movies, not like us REAL fans who’ve been reading the comics for 50 years. posers!
You’re just upset that us “fake” fans get to experience so much more awesome ALL AT ONCE rather than having to wait for installments every month for fifty years like SUCKERS!
Like the movies would have gotten made if they thought they wouldn’t attract so many new “fake” fans to jump on the bandwagon and buy up their overstock merch! ;P
The cape must function as a parachute, because otherwise that was at least a 15 or 20 foot leap from the top of the Sample Gates to the pavement below.
I actually have a web version of the original Spiderman – a photo (still could have been Photoshopped, but appears authentic) – in the original drawings his name was Peter Palmer!! If that isn’t the best Stan Lee joke ever, I don’t know what is!
If I could find it on the various HDs, I’d link to it.
Peter Palmer was indeed an authentic goof by Stan “The Man” Lee. See also Dr. Bob Banner (which was retconed into Dr. Robert Bruce Banner).
Dan Slott reused the Peter Palmer name in “Superior Spider-Man”; when Doc Ock was trying to erase Peter’s memories, at one point Peter could no longer remember his own last name. Peter impotently cries out, “I’m Peter… Palmer?” Of course the whole wiping Peter’s memories didn’t work out so how for Otto in the end.
Based on the lightsaber designs I’ve seen that sounds spectacularly uncomfortable. (Admittedly I’m not one to know, but seriously have you looked at those things?)
I just spent more time than I care to admit on Willis’ tumblr just to see if the original sneak peek of the second panel had Amazigirl in the background and I just missed it the first time.
And the answer is no. http://dumbingofage.tumblr.com/image/83529565791
You know what.. It’s too 4:18 AM for this. Someone more competent should really do links. Anyhow.. Track & Field. NES. Powerpad. Mentioned it while being chased previously by.. I think it was Dorothy & Walky? Here’s a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_%26_Field_%28video_game%29 It’s been more than fifteen years since I touched HTML and I’m not spending the next 15 minutes remembering how to do something that I put away with DOS & navigating the web through LYNX II.
It’s society’s innate deference to an authority figure, whatever it might be, combined with a natural sense of curiosity. Someone says something in a commanding tone of voice and one’s first instinct is to stop and check it out, if for no other reason than to determine if the command was meant for you.
My mum claimed I sucker punched a bully unconscious walking home and kept going on like nothing happened when I was six. That is only the fifth weirdest thing to happen to me.
The Bandit is a state of mind, that’s why. Everyone and no one is the Bandit. Well, obviously someone is the actual Bandit. Hmm, this looks more and more like a job for Team Rodimus! Although in a pinch I guess we’ll go with the hero we have in the comic.
Masturbation is a completely normal thing that people may or may not do, and that’s up to them and OK.
I would still totally be an uncomfortable, probably blushing mess if the topic came up (short of dating whoever was discussing it, and I’d still probably be pretty bad).
I’m also surprise that Sarah does tell that story to Jacob. However, I think that is also a sign of trust/friendship from her. While Sarah isn’t all that shy or prude usually, she was kinda sheepish around Jacob at first. The fact that she’s now totally comfortable talking about her me-time-tools with him indicates the two get very well along now.
I could see Joyce’s behavior, being so bizarre, making it so Sarah just had to tell somebody about it, even if she’s not normally inclined to talk about her toys. Granted, I’m pretty sure she mentioned the fact she had them to Joyce, at one point, so I think she’s pretty open about the fact.
Loading ...
Good job, Amazi-Girl.
“WHY HELLO TO YOU TOO”
oh shit the twist is “wait that was permanent marker?? hashtag whoops”
The funny thing is that you can remove permanent marker from whiteboards by first writing over it with dry erace.
which was only mentioned like a TRILLION TIMES when the comic first ran
Determined to beat the stain on the ground where that horse died huh?
LEL!!
Trelelelel, hmm, nope…
…trololol’s still the best.
Vibesabre > Amazi-Girl
hehe, Vibesabers. May the Vibes be with you. . .
*singing* I’m picking up good vibrations…
Vibesabers were a thing in Knights of the old republic games haha
Not quite. They were vibroswords.

AmaziGirl fighting Joyce with vibe sabers?
First one to penertration wins
The Sith Lord Darth Clitoris.
Jedi Knight Ovary-Wand Kenobi
HAHAHA STAP!!!
Jamin the Butt
Lube Skywanker?
Princess Playa-Laya
Han(djob) Solo

I can only assume that women name their dongs the same way men name their bongs.
How many Internets can I award for this? because just one seem insufficient.
(nerd voice) Uh, excuse me, but when Amazi-Girl fought Vibesabre in issue #66, she clearly won, and the only reason Vibesabre got away is that Amazi-Girl had to go help Dina-Soar with Fazalicious.

God, do your research, people.

Amazi-Girl had to go help Dina-Soar with Fazalicious
Now I’m picturing Faz in green trunks and ankle wings, Sub-Mariner style.
Trunks? Try speedo.
So wait, in the first panel, Amazi-Girl is climbing up that building. Did she climb up it just so she could jump off it behind Sarah?
Amazi-girl always makes a grand entrance. Always.
Yes. Otherwise you don’t get full extension on the cape.
And that’s necessary to intimidate criminals, as they are a superstitious, cowardly lot.
If you ain’t gettin’ cape you ain’t gettin’ nuthin’.
Just be sure to stay away from airplanes.
They plan and plot, but they always get caught!
Parkour parkour
“Did somebody say PARKOUR CARS?”
Parkour!
Funny you don’t look like Harry 😉
Whoa, you’ve got an eye for detail. Thanks for pointing it out.
She did it specifically so she could destroy her kneecaps when she landed and make Sarah feel super guilty.
The cape must function as a parachute, because otherwise that was at least a 15 or 20 foot leap from the top of the Sample Gates to the pavement below.
Well, she is Amazi-Girl, after all. I know if I tried to jump from that height, I would have several broken bones.
AG does fight for JUSTICE after all.
http://youtu.be/J1g4tC4It7k?t=38s
hehe, Slayers.
Dramatic entrances are great cardio.
Amazi-Girl pauses, then puts the Condom Cap on her head. “How about now?” she asks.
“Joyce rocked it better”
I dunno, I think the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen is a college student wearing suspenders.
PARKER, I WANT THIS AMAZI-GIRL STORY ON MY DESK BY MONDAY!
I actually have a web version of the original Spiderman – a photo (still could have been Photoshopped, but appears authentic) – in the original drawings his name was Peter Palmer!! If that isn’t the best Stan Lee joke ever, I don’t know what is!

AG wears suspenders under her costume? How fettastic!
Clearly you haven’t been around many art school hipsters.
Agreed, even I have a pair of Batman suspenders.
A one-night-stand shall now be called a ding-dong-ditch.
Oh that’s good.
THREAD WINNER!!!
Ding dong, the ditch is in bed.
So, who walked out with the strap-on.
This is the perfect comic for people to start one without context.
I feel like Joyce’s nightmare sequence still tops it.
Amazi-Girl, we’re ALL the whiteboard dingdong bandit.
8======D
( I she will never know.)
I take it you’re also the Ass Crack Bandit?
Don’t mix me up with that novest.
Ok, I confess! I became a master of the ass crack in college. It’s just too easy to make use of that pipe character. (_|_)
I AM ̶S̶P̶A̶R̶T̶A̶C̶U̶S̶ THE WHITEBOARD DINGDONG BANDIT!!
Also Jacob you’re under arrest for walking while sexy!
Oh you’ve seen nothing yet Sarah.
Sarah’s comfortable enough around Jacob to talk about her sex toys.
It’s quite impressive really.
Yeah wait, what?
I didn’t even consider that.
That kind of slipped right on by although I think she’s okay since it’s under the pretense of Joyce weirdness they bonded over.
Sarah seems pretty filter-free. Though yeah maybe she’s subtly sending a message of “I’m a lady who’s comfortable with my sexuality.”
And definitely enjoys a bit of the long-and-firm, know what I mean wink and a nudge say no more!
Yup. I mean, I was just joking when I said it would make a great story to tell Jacob, and here we are.
That’s what I was wondering, too. I mean, maybe she doesn’t realize she’s inadvertently telling him about her sex toys?
Either she invites him over to sniff all her toys – or they are officially IN THE FRIEND ZONE – never to escape!!!
Y halo thar, Jacob.
Hell, Sarah and Amazigirl, too. Lot of gorgeous to go around.
… There’s probably already vibrators made to look like lightsabers out there, isn’t there?
not a vibrator but have you seen the fleshlights?
Of course. And Randall Monroe already went there on xkcd a week or two ago.
Based on the lightsaber designs I’ve seen that sounds spectacularly uncomfortable. (Admittedly I’m not one to know, but seriously have you looked at those things?)
Build one? — Here you go!! Take a look at the tooling inspection view — I don’t see anything that resembles “what I’m used to” inside this thing!!
http://bit.ly/1lpGWDZ
Almost certainly, given that I’ve seen ones with Hello Kitty stamped on the side in sidebar ads on comics.
I’ve seen ones where Hello Kitty is…more than just stamped on the side, at any rate. ^^; http://www.amazon.com/Hello-Kitty-Personal-Vibrating-Massager/dp/B0026AC5SC
I’m your daddy.
Also it seems that life is a comic.
And she didn’t even mention Joyce stuck it up her nose.
And I guess I was right, Amazi-Girl is just going to keep harassing people until someone confesses.
Guess and check. Works in math class, works in criminal investigations. Same thing about bribery and clever use of reflective surfaces.
I prefer guess, check, stab and check again, I mean, who wants to come back around to the same obvious suspect like a procedural cop drama?
Less effective with math class… apparently only sunday schools want papers that holy.
Joyce can’t help it picking up good vibrators.
You think she would know the difference between a toy and a plastic dick by now.
She doesn’t even know what a penis looks like! That’s the problem!
Ah, recounting the vibrator incident. Keeping up the Joyce topic while potentially piquing Jacob’s sexual interest.
So she is just openly talking about it with a guy.
I love how Jacob just has glasses now simply because it made him even hotter (and possibly balances the be-glasses’d gender ratio).
I just spent more time than I care to admit on Willis’ tumblr just to see if the original sneak peek of the second panel had Amazigirl in the background and I just missed it the first time.
And the answer is no.
http://dumbingofage.tumblr.com/image/83529565791
“Are you the Whiteboard Dingdong Bandit?” is either the worst or the best pickup line ever.
“Don’t you try to outweird me. I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.”
Well, that was a good hour-long trip into nostalgia. Thank you.
Nice try, Sarah, but Amazi-girl is immune to criticism.
Maaaan, I wish the college I went to had its own superhero(ine)…..
There was one made up for my college newspaper: the Scrounger. He was great.
STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM
You violated my mother!
Is Amber just questioning random people now ?
And how does an 18 year old get the skills to run around like that without breaking her neck.
Oooh, Ooh.. I know that one.. She’s told us that before.. Here’s to hoping that worked..
You know what.. It’s too 4:18 AM for this. Someone more competent should really do links. Anyhow.. Track & Field. NES. Powerpad. Mentioned it while being chased previously by.. I think it was Dorothy & Walky? Here’s a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_%26_Field_%28video_game%29 It’s been more than fifteen years since I touched HTML and I’m not spending the next 15 minutes remembering how to do something that I put away with DOS & navigating the web through LYNX II.
She is following the lead Sierra gave her.
Not random. Others have pointed out that they saw Sarah drawing dicks on Joyce’s whiteboard (remember that?). So she is checking out a lead.
Jacob has obviously seen weirder.
Amazi-girl is obviously all out of good leads :/
How much influence does Amazi-Girl have? She can get people to stop just by saying ‘halt’ despite having no real authority. XD
It’s society’s innate deference to an authority figure, whatever it might be, combined with a natural sense of curiosity. Someone says something in a commanding tone of voice and one’s first instinct is to stop and check it out, if for no other reason than to determine if the command was meant for you.
That’s also why the oldest trick in the book still works.
My mum claimed I sucker punched a bully unconscious walking home and kept going on like nothing happened when I was six. That is only the fifth weirdest thing to happen to me.
What’s the second-weirdest?
Channelling your inner Batman, are we?
Still super-worried re: Billie, FWIW.
for real though, jumping from that distance with that technique would harm the living fuck out of your feet and shins
She has really great boots, and lives in a comic strip. She’ll be fine.
I’m just here for Jacob in suspenders appreciation.
http://nerf-this.com/comic/03-10-10/
I’m just impressed Sarah is so comfortable talking about her vibrator with Jacob.
Why do I get the feeling the dong bandit won’t be found?
The Bandit is a state of mind, that’s why. Everyone and no one is the Bandit. Well, obviously someone is the actual Bandit. Hmm, this looks more and more like a job for Team Rodimus! Although in a pinch I guess we’ll go with the hero we have in the comic.
Then Amazi-Girl pulls out a clipboard, makes a check mark, and continues on her way.
That’s pretty brave, mentioning your vibrators to a boy you like. I mean, they’re not that close of friends yet, I think.
What guy can’t handle the knowledge that a woman likes to masterbate?
I guy who isn’t worth Sarah Clinton’s time. 🙂
(*A* guy, I mean. Sarah also has no time for typoes)
Masturbation is a completely normal thing that people may or may not do, and that’s up to them and OK.
I would still totally be an uncomfortable, probably blushing mess if the topic came up (short of dating whoever was discussing it, and I’d still probably be pretty bad).
