                Amazi-Girl really needs to carry a portable EMP device to protect her from the evils of social media exposure, the only problem with that is that the odd person with a pacemaker will die but that’s why the American Govenment coined the term ‘collateral damage’ in the first place right?

      A Dutch colleague told me that for quite some time after the second world war if a Dutch citizen encountered a German, they’d ask, “What have you done with my bicycle?” Apparently among the better known war crimes and atrocities committed by the Germans in Holland during WWII, the fact that they stole nearly all the bicycles in Holland has not been forgotten by the Dutch.

        That happened to me too, though I was pissed because it was in my apartment complex. Four years of riding the thing back and forth on the campus, keeping it in the bike cage in the dorms, then you put it in the bike cage in a gated apartment complex and it disappears. Soooo unhappy. I’d had it since I was a kid -_-

        Seconding Bill. My campus was considered small for a four-year in that system and it still took twenty/thirty minutes walking to get from one side to the other. We actually had trolleys to get around. A bike, especially if you were running late, was essential.

            Gas prices have fallen about half a dollar over the past few months; but then I’m still longing for the days of $0.99/gallon gasoline, which was fairly stable from ’90 to about ’93. Then it skyrocketed.

            So… I blame Clinton for the gas prices being as high as they are.

    From a LEO standpoint, she has done nothing wrong.  She is merely a person in a cosplay outfit requesting that a miscreant stop performing an illegal act — and there are no rules about what someone chooses to wear.  Of course, we know she would kick his ass across campus if he didn’t; but she hasn’t done it yet.  So at this point — no blood, no foul.

    As for past incidents — have there been any formal complaints filed by those people she has flipped or tossed?  We don’t know; and again, from a LEO viewpoint, without a complaint there is nothing to be dealt with.

        Cops generally don’t approve of vigilantes in the real world, regardless of how bizarre that may seem to you. Nominally, that’s because they’re actually following the law, and the vigilante is not.

          LEO’s dont follow the law, they have separate laws they they follow while enforcing local laws.
          They dont like Vigilante’s because they feel they’re doing their job, and makes them look bad, no matter how productive they are.. Leo’s feel they’re the only one with the rights to enforce laws for you, whether you asked them to or not.

          Time for a short article on the Citizen’s Arrest:
          Most states have codified the common law rule that a warrantless arrest may be made by a private person for a felony, misdemeanor or “breach of peace”. A breach of peace covers a multitude of violations in which the Supreme Court has even included a misdemeanor seatbelt violation punishable only by a fine. The term historically included theft, “nightwalking”, prostitution and playing card and dice games.

      She stole a stop sign, although she did put it back later.
      That’s usually a misdemeanor, unless it caused a traffic accident. Or it was an expensive sign.

        It wasn’t a stop sign, it was a “Dead End” sign.  And Amazi-Girl didn’t actually steal it, she ‘confiscated’ or perhaps ‘impounded’ it from the persons who were vandalizing it (and then dared them to call the cops about it). She and Danny then cleaned it and replaced it.

        Huh huh huh, you said ‘posteriority’.

        I too wonder why Amazi-girl is worried; so far Dorothy has merely gotten video of her from behind, not committing any crime. So Dorothy can prove that Amazi-girl 1) has tousled brown hair (or a wig), 2) a blue cape, 3) blue boots, 4) yellow leggings, and 5) a batman voice. And of those, 1-5 are both already known by everyone she’s met, and also moot points if she gets her hands on the phone again.

        But her mask’s still on.

        Seriously people, Dorothy’s not doing so great at this ‘unmasking’ thing so far. You’re supposed to actually catch them half-in costume, or alternatively knock them out, tie them to a chair, and then unmask them, optionally setting them on fire first. Merely videoing them in full costume isn’t going to do it – which is why they wear the costume and all in the first place.

    I hope this doesn’t go as badly as I fear it will. I honestly like Amazi-Girl more than Amber, because she’s more dynamic and more in-control of herself.

    Granted, running around in a yellow suit fighting crime isn’t exactly something I’d recommend as standard therapy. But she *does* fight crime. We’ve seen her recover purses from purse snatchers and stop beatings and muggings in progress. And when she encountered that graffiti ‘artist’ a while back, she didn’t even *hit* the guy: she chose an alternative means of dealing with the situation.

    We’ve seen Amber punch her dad (who totally had it coming, not debating that), flip over a table on one of her best friends, punch doors, and flip out because she missed a frickin’ WoW raid…

    …Okay, I’m gonna say it. Amazi-Girl is the stronger and more stable of the two personalities. You take that away, and Amber is just a shadow…

    …Of her father.

    Dorothy could stop the bicycle thief with her camera/video/phone. But she is too busy being productive to be actually useful. She belongs Ivy League.

    Bicycle thieves are the worst and their apprehension should take priority. And most Big Ten campuses are large enough that a bike is very useful until the snow starts. And most are pretty bike friendly, though I don’t know about IU in particular.

    Liking Dorothy less and less. She’s about as social as Dina and less caring.

        If I know comedies, Amazi-girl and Dorothy are going to now focus entirely on each other (because Dorothy won’t let Amazi-girl do her work), and the bike thief will quietly tiptoe away. Whistling. Carrying the bike with him.

      As a freshman in college back in 1972, a good bicycle was probably one of the most expensive things you could own at that time.  Sure, some people owned cars, but those weren’t getting stolen as frequently as bicycles, and if they were the cops at least made an attempt to try to find them.  Bicycles?  You got a TS card and the recommendation to file a claim against your renter’s insurance (if you had remembered to buy any).

    Danny is gonna make Amber hate his guts with a passion just before discovering that she’s Amazi-girl, isn’t he?

    And of course, he will put the fault on Billie and Sal for tricking him into believing that Sal is Amazi-girl.

    And Sal will say “wait, did you think that I was a shapeshifter able to change my skin tone, height, jawline and body shape, or what?” (and then she will kick him in the balls for being such a ******).

    When did Dorothy’s motivation become to unmask Amazi-girl? I know that she is supposed to write about her in the paper. Before Amazi-girl out ran Dorothy she was trying to the reporter on her side.
    Is there a comic where Dorothy is told or says she wants to unmask Amazi-girl, can someone provide the link?

      The thing, is, once unmasked, Amazi-girl’s story isn’t worth sh*t. Some nerdy girl who loves superhero comics and likes to play superheroine, that’s all…and really, Dorothy shouldn’t expect anything different…it’s that or some pothead who likes to run around in leotards punching people.

      Unmasking Amazi-girl is like discovering that the mysterious ghost black dog that haunts the cementery at midnight is just a Newfoundland whose lazy ass owner releases it there every night there so he hasn’t to bother giving it a real walk. Or discovering that the poltergeist that haunts an old house are just rats crawling their tunnels into the walls.

      Amazi-girl’s story is interesting for so long as she remains unmasked, because it’s a fun mystery. I Dorothy doesn’t understand that, she isn’t a good reporter.

        Amazi-Girl is pretty much a well intentioned criminal. Unmsking her is pretty much catching her red-handed. remember, Amazi-Girl is attacking people, breaking into people’s dorms and who knows what else, that’s not legal.

A comic of two people (myself and my partner) watching Star Wars Andor on TV.
Me: What are those things in their front pockets? (Referring to Deirdre's imperial uniform with metal cylinders poking out of the front pockets.)
Partner: That is THE question.
Me: Maybe they're like... pens, for writing their fascy memos at double efficiency! (Deirdre frantically scribbles notes on a sheet of paper with a pen in both hands.)
Partner: No, no, no...
(A panel of Lio Partagaz unclipping the metal things and lifting them out of his pockets. In the next panel, his pants fall to the floor with a FWUMP.) 
Partner: ...it's the only way they can take their pants off.

Dies Irae (Trap Remix) @gonebabygone.bsky.social ⋅ 3d
Every comic creator's obituary is like, he created this iconic character who was in a movie that made $700 million last year. He died with a net worth of $12 after the publisher countersued him.

crabs in a bucket | patreon.com/lubchansky
PANEL 1:  MATTIE sitting on the floor in front of a bucket.
MATTIE: Man, I put all these crabs in this bucket to watch them fight to the top for my amusement…

PANEL 2: MATTIE peering in close to the bucket. One claw is raised, holding a little piece of paper folded over.
MATTIE: …But it looks like they all just started trading ZINES in there!
MATTIE: Kind of annoying.

PANEL 3: MATTIE grabs the zine.
MATTIE: Hm?

PANEL 4: Close up of the zine in MATTIE's hands. The title is STEVEN, THE CRAB DIRECTLY BELOW ME, IS A PIECE OF SHIT!
MATTIE: Haha okay this is pretty good

thinking of that time i found an abandoned transformers wiki on wikia that was just a bunch of terrible and incomplete lists of character names, sitting back, and deciding i could fix this wiki by writing a comprehensive Donny Finkleberg Robot-Master page.

#DidYouKnow we just turned 20 years old? Yes, really! The original incarnation of TFWiki was originally founded on Wikicities on this day in 2005. Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years!
