Danny <3 stalky batman!
It’s not stalking! It’s… uh… it’s… uh… Investigating!
Without a license.
Just like Batman.
Except Batman would usually wait till he got back to the Bat Cave before he listened to the tape.
Actually, he would listen there and then. It gives the opponent the chance to ominously sneak up behind him. But she is not the Batman. She is trespassing in the Bat Cave.
Does this make Billie Robin? (Begin the Sal-Batman//Billie-Robin double slashing)
She can just use the bat-Billie-repellent.
It’s the Billie-repellent Bat-spray, not the bat-Billie-repellent.
would she not just us the Billie-club …
I think Batman…
Would Have Put Earplugs In,
so anyone sleeping in the room wouldn’t wake up!
Why would wearing earplugs prevent anyone but himself from hearing anything??
I guess Nee might mean in-ear headphones.
That makes more sense.
Yeah, I meant “ear-buds.”
Small, portable and keep the sound inside the ear.
um, there is no license for this.
Oh yeah? Then explain the $20 registration fee I paid for my Official Class B superhero learner’s permit!
You are now on the Cool List.
it’s called a private investigator’s license.
+1
<– CJ Major currently taking a Private Investigation class.
Though that license still doesn't allow breaking and entering.
^exactly. PI’s still don’t get to do this stuff.
It could be called being a Volunteer Cop. Of course I doubt being a guy who directs traffic is allowed to go through your stuff.
So what does investigative…journalism…look like in this universe? Is it pay-per-view?
D’aaaaawwwwwww!!!!!
Now the real question is, is Amazi-Girl going to tell Amber the good news? That might seem a little weird, having a superhero randomly talk to you about your love life.
*Slaps Kintrex in back of head*
What? We all know that AmaziGirl is Daisy. It’s SO obvious!
D’awwww…. this so illegal.
Yeah… I don’t like this version of Amber as much anymore.
I mean, yeah, “awwww” and all that. But still. :/
Don’t be so straight laced
Oh no, someone in a comic broke a rule, I hate them so much now!
I suspect it’s less “someone broke a rule” and “someone is acting borderline Cullen”.
That said, I still love the hell out of Amber. This only becomes an issue if it turns into a habit.
She’s really just doing it for our benefit
True enough. I suspect that this Amber also has more than her fair dose of issues. Different issues manifesting themselves differently, but the Amazigirl persona probably isn’t just the work of a hobbyist. This is likely an early sign of the sorts of stuff she’ll have to overcome.
I know right? Sneaky bizznatch…
So’s assault, and look at how many times we’ve seen her commit that.
People have a soft spot for the right sort of criminal, though we’ve got widely differing views on what makes for the right sort.
I think Amber has committed assault maybe once. Which was when she was preventing a group of bullies from assaulting Danny. I guess you can count the door she punched.
I did forget the time she mentioned that amazi girl beat up the same group of tullis when she caught them up to no good.
Also, there was a heck of a brawl in the background of te party, which would be several additional counts.
Links or it never happened.
I never said I didn’t like Amber just stating that she is committing a felony albeit in a cute manner. If I were to hate every comic character for committing a felony then my selection of comics would be limited.
Heh. Point taken.
Wait, if Billie and Danny had actually had sex, she’d be listening to the tape of it right now..
Yeah that coulda backfired violently
You mean like “how can I help you citizens” while a would-be rapist crawls away?
Amazi-Girl’s impulse control hasn’t been all that Amazi so far.
Give her the benefit of the doubt. I imagine this Amazi-Girl is about ten years younger than the one we normally expect.
Yeah, Batman wasn’t exactly all that in Year One either.
Where can I throw money at a Year One: Amazi-Girl trade?
Throw it here – right here. You won’t receive anything in return, but always feel free to throw money.
Amazi-Girl is immune to criticism.
You, sir, win ALL the cookies.
Ah, thank you.
I also eat ALL the cookies.
ALL OF THEM. There are no more cookies to be nom’d.
OH SAL XD
Tsk, tsk, Amazi-Girl. Use your powers only for good!
Admittedly, you ensuring Dannie does not end up with Billie IS a use of your powers for good.
Your plea falls on deaf ears; Amazi-Girl is immune to criticism.
I was seriously hoping someone would pull this one out in answer to all the “boo”.
She doesn’t use her powers for good, she uses them for AWESOME.
I do believe you meant “amazing”.
I would like to point out that Amazi-Girl is not trying to confirm whether or not they had sex, she is looking into the person who is Investigating her and finding out how much she knows.
exactly. besides, why would amazi-girl care about danny?
Pay no attention to that smile in the last panel.
Hey, Ultra-Car is just happy that his alternate-universe former owner has finally found someone.
And then the tape wakes up Billie and/or Sal.
Is what I was thinking
How can Sal wake her self up? Being that she is Amazi-Girl or at least that is what Billie will think when she wakes up.
“Everyone else is Amazi-girl” jokes (along with Mike nickel jokes) are the “Arrow to the knee” of the Walky multiverse.
Exactly my sentiments. Everyone already knows that Amazi-girl is Ultracar.
Dude! I’ve only just got to Ultracar in Shortpacked. Spoiler alerts next time eh?
Spoilers only count for upto a year after a comic is posted, the comics concerning Ultracar are several years old.
I was Joyce. I was legion. Then I took an arrow to the knee.
The font is small, so maybe the volume is down.
… and she wears a dinosaur hat and likes to hide behind doors.
Now that would be a twist.
I approve of this.
Do we know which girl he was referring to?
Ruth, obviously.
Leslie…most likely.
But Danny doesn’t even take Gender Studies.
Just saw her across campus. Can’t miss dat ass.
It is also possible that when Danny took a condom from Roz, what he gave as compensation… was his heart.
Danny/Roz counts as a crack couple.
Did Billie forget her tape recorder or did Amazi-Girl leave it there on purpose?
It might be Billie and Sal’s room, being that the window is open though its hard to tell.
Open window makes it more likely to be Billy and Sal’s room. In which case, she doesn’t have to worry about waking up Sal.
It’s a good thing Sal keeps that window open.
Why is Amazi-Girl so happy?
Cos Danny isn’t a man-slut after all.
Banging one chick after you leave a long-time relationship does not a manslut make.
Which brings up the question how many women must a man fornicate with after ending a long term relationship in order to be consider a “man-slut”?
At least twice as many as a woman would have to to be considered just a plain old slut.
What makes a slut isn’t necessarily quantity, but lack of discriminating taste.
Humans gotta bang, it’s in our genes. Men, women, pies; it’s just what we do.
I agree with the taste comment. Nothing wrong with sexing for yourself, the problem is when you sex as a statement or a political manoeuvre (ie. revenge sex).
SUTBEric’s definition of a (man-)slut works for me.
How many ho’s would a man-slut bang if a man-slut could bang ho’s?
As many as possible.
All of them.
Preferably at the same time.
cuz she finally found her tape recorder and it still works
Cause she saved money on car insurance.
And she doesn’t even own a car!
This is the most heart-warming commitment of multiple felonies I’ve seen today.
i think its only one felony as long as she leaves the tape recorder there
We’ve got B&E and Intrusion of Solitude and Seclusion.
Agreed
Say it with me now: AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!
D’AAAAWWWWW!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL! I follow the beat of a different drummer.
Tch. Hipster.
Sounds more like a tuba to me
I dunno, tubas give more of a DOOOOOOOOOOOO sound. I was brass section in high school marching band, so I’d know.
I love the idea of someone trying to distinguish between a hipster and a tuba based on which sound they make.
I’d hate to have to tune a hipster.
How about blowing one?
Better than trying to tune a fish.
ba-dum ksssh
Admittedly, they are very similar. Both are loud, both like to think they are deep, and no one important pays any attention to them.
I’d go D’aww but it does seem a little bit creepy that she’s willing to sneak into a room to investigate a boy she likes. Just a little bit.
Don’t worry. If this leads to her hooking up with Danny, that will be punishment enough for her.
It’s only creepy if you get caught.
Or she’s investigating to make sure Billie isn’t too close to Amazi-girl….
PING PONG!
I mean BINGO! damn japanese children shows corrupting my language. . .
Its not against the law if your dressed as a super hero!
Section 4, paragraph 7 of the Audio Surveillance Act 20XX
the intentional acquisition by an electronic, mechanical, or other surveillance device of the contents of any radio communication, under circumstances in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy and a warrant would be required for law enforcement purposes unless such persons are dressed in super hero and/or super heroine attire, and if both the sender and all intended recipients are located within the United States;
I’m trying to imagine the “and” part of the “superhero and/or superheroine attire” and all I can visualize is someone wearing a Superman outfit with Wonder Woman’s outfit on over it.
Stop – you’re making me drool.
oh?
That window really isn’t difficult to get into. But why is Sal listening to her roommate’s not-sex tape?
Part of her amazi-girl powers include seeing into other universe, so she’s remembering the relationship that was.
…Damn, Danny’s quite the Walkyverse player, huh.
It takes a strong man to say no to doing it with a hot young lady but it takes a stronger man to do it and give a legit reason.
I’d think that having a legitimate reason to stop would make it easier to stop.
Unless you’re saying that a guy who stops without a legit reason is less ‘strong’ and more ‘stupid’. That I could buy.
I think he means that an insufficiently strong man would fail to give the legit reason he may or may not have. As in, would just babble incoherently.
Great, I just imagined the soundtrack of Batman:The Animated Series while I was reading this. All it needs is a remote control aircraft carrying a bomb flying towards the room and a clown in a nice suit.
YES.
Show of hands, who predicted that tomorrow’s strip will be Billie turning on the light and pretty much caught Amazi-Girl red handed?
… and then getting mad because their roommate agreement says Sal’s not supposed to come in through the window like that.
Though actually my money’s on Sal catching her. Ass-kicking ensues. I’m not sure whose.
Followed by Dumbing of Age turning into a martial arts comic.
It’s not already? We’ve gotten two fight scenes in under a week.
Martial arts, not *marital* arts.
My martial arts classroom had a sign with a typo that said
something along the lines of “Welcome to marital arts”.
Made sense to me since i was sparring my then girlfriend constantly
at the time. (point sparring of course).
That could actually happened.Billie sees “Sal” flee the room as soon as she comes in, absconding with the evidence of the Amazi-Girl investigation. This naturally leads to an awkward Billie/Sal confrontation.
Was that Danny or Billie’s “Oh my god are you for real”?
I’m guessing Billie but I somehow read it as Danny, commenting on his luck/Billie’s anatomy (and the authenticity thereof).
It was definitely Billie. I know because my mental reading voice immediately switched over to “pissy teenage girl” mode the second I read “Oh my god”.
The comments are extra-awesome today.
That window is getting… so much traffic.
Just like your mom.
but the window does it for free
That window is such a slut.
If that widow earned a nickel every time …
it would be rich.
Why does Amazi-Girl care who Danny likes? It’s not like Amazi-Girl is Amber or anything
of course not. amazi-girls in love with billie and is just happy to hear that she wasn’t defiled by that weenie she was with
hmm… id say i should rephrase that but it still oddly fits
Unfortunate that the weenie fit somewhere so oddly.
Maybe his ‘weenie’ is the REAL reason Dotty broke up with him.
Maybe matchmaking is one of her superpowers. We don’t know! She’s just that mysterious!
SO MUCH WIN!
Why in webcomics is so easy to get into a relationship
By “relationship” do you mean “window?”
for a nickel
Ok, creep alert! Run Danny, Run!
Also, it’s night already?
He’s busy trying to figure out how to operate the tissue.
So it’s night time.. and no one was in the room to hear the tape recorder playing?
Ps. When does the little closet shrine get discovered?
They’re asleep?
Weird, I know. Some people just don’t stay up late in college.
One usually wakes up when a tape recorder is playing right next to your bed… though Billie the kid does make a fish jealous in drinking talent.
AH HA! Amazi-Girl’s secret identity is really G. Gordon Liddy!
………….
………………….
……………………………
…Who?
Head of Nixon’s personal spy team the Plumbers and the orchestrator of Watergate.
Yes, that’s right. As I suspected, most people aren’t familiar with Watergate or the people involved for the joke to work. Che sera, sera.
(Thanks, Wack’d for fielding that question. Was offline when Kernanator asked the question.)
That last panel is so uber cute.
Okay—
Dorothy broke up with Danny
Dorothy kinda likes Walky
Danny didn’t sleep w/Billie cause he likes someone and that someone is Amber?
If so when did Danny and Amber meet?
In a class they had together.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/03-men-are-from-beck-women-are-from-clark/talk-2/
this is when danny first meets amber.
As soon as I saw this, I was excited for an Amazi-Girl storyline. Now it seems to be more Amber-focused, which is still good, but I’m still holding out for some superheroing hijinx. Amazi-Girl really needs an archvillain already.
What happened to Dr. Cyborg?
That’s just creepy.
I just noticed this–the way Amber (yes, AMBER, everyone just shut the hell up) cocks an eyebrow at the tape recorder in the second panel looks to me like she didn’t expect to find it there…which means she might’ve been breaking into Sal and Billie’s room for a completely unrelated reason and this was just a pleasant surprise. Thoughts?
She was there to snarl at Billie in a freakishly hoarse voice: “Leave him alone!”
there is a theory she broke in to see if billie has figured out amazi-girl’s secret identity.
Pretty sure that’s more of a “what, she just leaves it lying there?” look.
She was all excited to search drawers and pick/break locks, but nooooooooooooo.
Amazi-Stalker.
Though I wonder what the heck she’s doing in there in the first place.
Does this redeem Danny? It’s one thing to not “take advantage” of a woman, but It’s another thing to hold it for someone else. This also means that Danny lied to Joe earlier.
This makes no sense to me. Do you mean that Danny is planing to take advantage of Amber? And how did he lie to Joe? He omitted that his liking another girl was a factor, but I don’t think that really constitutes a lie. Everything he said looks like it matches up to me.
I think C’s implication is that his main reason for not sleeping with Billie was because he liked Amber, and if it hadn’t been for that, he would have been totally willing–no ‘not taking advantage.’ So he was lying to Joe, because ‘not taking advantage’ wasn’t really his reason.
Don’t really think that’s true, though, I think Danny honestly didn’t want to take advantage of Billie, because sleeping with a girl who you don’t really care about just because she’s hot and available can be considered ‘taking advantage’. And I think Danny probably would have thought of it that way–even though Billie didn’t care about him either. The fact that he also likes another girl just added to it. So yeah, he just omitted that part when he explained it to Joe. I don’t think he lied.
I’m not sure Joe would understand not bumping uglies with someone just because you liked someone else. Especially if you hadn’t sealed the deal with the other one. Of course with him sealing the deal means you can now move on to the next.
No point trying to explain how much you like someone else to Joe., he would either call you hurtful names or try to help you by using his powers of seduction on the girl you like to tell her you like her, Or try to get with her to prove she isn’t worth it.
Ha! I was right! Her recorder was on!
But gee, I wonder why Amazi-Girl is interested in that tape? Could this be a clue to her identity??? Stay tuned, Amazi-fans!
She’s just pleased that Lois Billingsworth was distracted so thoroughly from investigating her, and in that last panel is just going D’awwww like all the rest of you for how sweet/cheesy this unknown boy on the tape was being.
Here’s what I want to happen when Amazi-girl runs into Sal on the way out.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0230.html
That seems entirely like it could happen, if she’s already down enough that Sal doesn’t know exactly which window she comes from. Which floor do they live in anyways?
Huh. So one roommate was recorded, with his full knowledge, having sex, and the other roommate was unknowingly recorded declining sex.
Nice contrast.
I know, right? There’s all sorts of subtitles to the Danny/Joe relationship this time around.
Compare the second strip of Roomies!, which pretty much spelled it out for us.
Hey, that’s kinda neat!
You are officially awesome for noticing that.
Catburglagirl!
Amber looks wicked badass in that second panel.
Amazi-Girl what are you doing!?
…Journalism. I mean, vigilante-ism.
She’s got too many clothes on to be doing journalism.
I mean, she doesn’t even have a chest window, for crying out loud.
jesus christ, amber, what are you even doing
Making the fandom happy, of course.
I’m confused. Is danny saying the “are you for real” line, or is Billie?
So two years on and nobody got the 1989 Batman reference?
