            I can’t deny that Asuka looks hot to me…which makes sense, considering that I have fallen for crazy women before. It’s a bad habit that I cannot seem to break.

          I kind of found it funny that people assumed that they went all the way, especially after Mike made his presence known. Dorothy doesn’t strike me as the type of girl who would do that on the first date…which is still a milestone that they have yet to accomplish.

          Hot sloppy make-outs, on the other hand, does not seem to be an issue.

            Presumably, Danny at least saw some of the goods before he explained to her that he didn’t want to fuck her. And given her judgement thus far, it is entirely possible that she will wind up in a similar situation (perhaps with Joe, or better yet, Mike). We can only hope.

      Now I’m picturing John Cusack existing as a separate person (himself, the actor)in every movie in which he’s appeared (as some other character).

      And now I’m picturing a movie in which John Cusack plays a person who stalks John Cusack.

      And now I’m picturing that movie including clips of other in-universe movies where the stalked actor John Cusack played characters who were stalking John Cusack, who had acted in movies where he played people who were stalking John Cusack…

    Careful ,this could be dangerous!

    Billie is already having a hard time dealing with her twin girl crushes on Amazi-girl and Sal. that is why she is so convinced ( despite the OBVIOUS diiferences in build, height, etc.). Billie’s crushing on Amazi-girl because she is imune to critisisim (which Billie is getting a lot of though mainly from herself) and Amazi-girl saved her from “the Wrath of Ruth”, and billie is crushing on Sal because….. well shes SAL!

    add this to the discovery that walky might be able to handle his own lovelife and Billie is likely to have a psychotic break leading to the birth of DoAs first supervillian and arch nemisis for Amazi-girl ……

    ………….. TSUNDERE-BIRD !!!!!!

    Is anyone else having problems with the navigation buttons? When I click the “last” button, it always takes me to the March 20 page, and each click after that, it only advances one page at a time.

      Yeah, that’s a server side error, some how it’s not generating the links correctly. It’s doing it by individual comic instead of a global link it references, and from time to time, you’ll get this happening. After a while, it will catch up and all the links will be corrected, only to later have this happen yet again. Sometimes, (usually just after a new comic posts) the second to last comic won’t recognize a comic comes after it at all, and the Next and Last links don’t work at all.

      As for what’s happening underneath what can be observed that’s causing the problem, hard to say, but the easiest fix would be to make that “last” link take you to the main page instead of to a specific comic. That fixes all but the last issue (where it doesn’t realize there’s another comic after the second to last).
