I am at Phoenix Comicon right now! I’m tabling with Rob DenBleyker of Cyanide and Happiness in Artist Alley at table 649.
I hear William Shatner is supposed to be here, but all I see is this cardboard box.

Batman can do anything.
Amazi-Girl can do anything, while playing Mario Kart.
And she can do things in the daytime!
She’s captain Am: The game master!
So, her sucessor would be Captain SAmES?
(That’s a Captain SNES joke, for those who are unfortunate enough to have not read that comic.)
Batman would WIN while doing anything and playing Mario Kart.
I now love Amazi-girl 10 times as much as I loved her 5 minutes ago…how is that possible
She’s pretty much Batman but without the gadgets, the wealth and the broodiness.
but with boobs.
Boobs make everything better. If Batman ever harnesses their power, he’ll be unstoppable!
He could if he gained about 50lbs.

FAT MAN!!!
Oh man, that takes me back.
Comic Book Guy’s best… costume…. ever.
Can’t be comic-book guy. He’s more likely to be her Arch enemy
with Dodo the boy blunder.
This comment is really really really late but
Batgirl
I bet Batman has never fought crime with one hand and played Mario-Kart with the other.
Well, of course not. Batman plays Street Fighter.
I can totally see him as a Vega user.
Really? I thought of him as a Dan user.
i thought he plays DDR.
As long as its not a rock song…he hates those
*sigh*
Just when I had finally forgotten that existed.
That screaming face it yet haunts my dreams! Curse you Willis!
What do you mean, “without the gadgets?” The Nintendo DS is a gadget!
Once again, well played!
Joe, get a clue? Who do you think could hurt Danny to get at his girlfriend?
a baby, a cluster of feathers, most worms, snowflakes, the wind, a fly…
He can’t be that pathetic. I’m a frail, non-athletic dude and even I could give some punks a beatdown.
stop beating up on five-year olds :op
When I said punks, I meant some 20 year old asshole and by beatdown, I meant kicking them in the balls.
Um, We’ve already seen Danny with 20 year old assholes. What beatdowning was happening, wasn’t happening to the assholes. At least not by Danny’s hand (knee) anyway.
And what you call “beatdown” sounds to me like “signing own death warrant”, but whichever.
How much crime must this particular IU campus have that somebody like Amazi-girl is even needed (also which campus is this supposed to be)
That is exactly what I was wondering. Does she spend all day (or night) following suspicious-looking people around in her bright yellow jumpsuit?
No, in fact that she likes to wear a dinosaur hat when she goes to her classes
Dina is Amazi-Girl!?!?! I thought that was Sal!
Dina is Sal?
Well, she’s the hero the campus deserves not the hero the campus needs.
I hate you forever.
Why?
How come Danny always ends up being the girl in the relationship?
because when the actual girl is that bad-ass, any man would be the girl.
Unless that man is also bad ass.
I’m pretty sure he’s going to try to wear a suit to follow her around at some point
Cos he’s a natural uke.
Shall we change Danny’s name to Sue now?
As in Mary-Sue?
Or Peggy Sue?
Only if he goes back in time.
Nah, this is old school http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1BJfDvSITY
Any large campus.
Where’s a reporter when you need one?
we need Billie! quick! put up the beer signal!
I know! In broad daylight, Amazi-Girl stops a purse snatching. Somebody needs to be taking some pictures. And doing some journalism. And lamenting the lack of chest windows.
I’m pretty sure doing journalism out in broad daylight is illegal in most states, due to exposure laws.
Playing a game one-handed… this proves that internet porn is useful for something at least.
I’ve seen people writing two notebooks while eating a potatochip so seeing someone playing a game one-handed does not impress me much.
choir sings dramatically*
I’ll take a super mushroom…AND EAT IT!
Oh my god. She must be crazy-good when she’s not fighting crime.
The last two panels are awesome! They are awesome on so many levels! There needs to be an entire series built around the impression that those two panels give you!
I have a feeling Joe’s line in panel 4 is one of those times Willis writes the dialogue at the time of lettering.
Joe is feeling very expositional today. I’m replying to your comment.
Danny isn’t looking at him, so he has to tell him about his gestures.
Seriously though, this must be a pretty dangerous campus, if crime is so common that they need a vigilante.
what if….that was a guy who had a purse and the girl was trying to steal it from him?
Why would a guy need a purse?
for his video games, and his moustache cream, and his nachitos, and so on!
Then get a satchel.
why ya gotta hate on the man-purses?
The man purse is a lie! They ALL change your gender to female.
…I’m using that in my next tabletop game. That’s so much better than the stereotypical D&D belt. 😛
Isn’t it called a manbag?
It’s European!
NICE
I ship these two way harder than DorothyxWalky.
man he’s clueless
So Danny is going the Lois Lane route, who else wants to see amazi-girl saving him from falling off a building or saving from the Leigon of Doom to Fail Math 100 Football Players
Fanart.
It would be nice if Mario Kart 7 (which I assume they’re playing) did have in-game chat, as it seems here. I guess it’s too narratively clunky to have to send swapnotes!
Or use the internet function to send a email.
Actualy, in thoery you could write a note by hand, take a photo, then send it via your own email account all while the game is paused.
(email uploads actualy work fine from the 3DS browser)
Its weird whats possible and whats not on the 3DS.
This is exciting in many ways.
Firstly the whole situation is soooo cute.
Secondly, Amazi-girl is a true badass heroine. Go Amazi-girl! Go! Fight evil and play Mario-kart.
Can Amazi-Girl dodge blue shells?
When she’s ready…she won’t have to.
*Dull* Whoa…
Do you hear that, Miss O’Malley? That is the sound of inevitability. That is the sound of your death. Goodbye, Miss O’Malley.
Dude. Totally mis-read that as “dodge blue balls”. XD
I generally assumed the campus to be Bloomington, and the strip actually pretty much confirms it thanks to Robin’s chalk map placing them in the northwest corner of Indiana’s 9th District. (Whose current real-life rep is Republican Todd Young, incidentally.)
Generally, when a city is not given in common usage with a university name, the assumption is going to be that it’s the flagship campus. For example, if someone says “UNC”, they’re not likely going to think Asheville or Charlotte, but Chapel Hill, unless one of those other cities is given afterward. Similarly, say “University of Michigan”, without a city afterward, and you’re going to think about Ann Arbor, not Flint or Dearborn.
Or Kalamazoo!
David, amazing comic, but I believe that 40% of your comic’s awesome is in these people *points up* talking about it. you have amazing fans. <3
You are awsome too! we are all awsome!
*Blows Whistle* C’mon everybody! GROUP HUG!!
Here’s hoping Danny doesn’t end up in a refrigerator.
Here’s hoping someone will get that joke
Oh right, Kyle Rayner’s girlfriend in the fridge. I try to repress that memory along with the killer clowns, Candle Cove and the German coffee commercial.
Do you folks like coffee?
Real Coffee.
Grown in the hills.
Of Columbia.
It’s an easy reference to get if you have devoted your life in worship of TVTropes.
Or hang out with Plasma Mongoose here. 😀
Or read Sam and Fuzzy.
*appears out of nowhere* Did someone invoke my name?
So, you’re an esper now?
I thought somebody had to say it 3 times in order for you to do that. Or are you implying that you’re the Devil?
Look at that smile in panel 3. You’re livin’ the dream, Danno.
In the other universe, there are people with actual superpowers. I assumed that in the Dummyverse, people were generally just normal folks. Up until now, Amazigirl could have just been getting lucky, but this comic more than suggests that she might actually have superpowers. Is that an accurate take-away from this?
No – Amazigirl has not demonstrated any supernatural ability. She does, however, appear to be well trained.
So well trained, she fights crime, plays with her DS, and chats, at the same time…
Once she learns to breathe in outer space, she’s all set…
XOJane did a review of Pajama Jeans. Apparently, they suck.

So, how much of a shithole is Indiana that there’s actually on-campus street crime to make Batmanning a valid waste of someone’s time?
