          Ironically, she could not escape and now lives Jonah style inside it’s belly, living off the half digested carcasses of lesser dinosaurs.
          Allosauruses were carnivores, right?

            Not if you ask Joyce. One version of creationism insists that all dinosaurs were vegetarians. Talk about sucking all the joy out of a concept.

      While Allosaurus-Girl is good, since Dina accepts the theory that dinosaurs had feathers I think she should become ArchaeopteriGirl !!!
      That way she still doesn’t have to change the “A” on the jumpsuit.

    *sigh* Amber is really good at fucking things up for herself. She wants to run from Danny, because Danny actually knows who she is now. She wants to stop being Amazi-Girl, because she’s made some tiny progress towards healing. Damn it, Amber. Damn it, damn it, damn it.

      I think Amber wants to stop being Amazi-Girl because Amazi-Girl just beat a dude half to death, and might have gone for the other half if Danny hadn’t stopped her. (And, moral and ethical dilemmas aside, as Daisy just helpfully informed us, there were witnesses to this highly illegal activity.) That the dude was her abusive father just exacerbates her dilemmas, because it makes her think she’s turning into him.

      And, honestly, I think Amber getting some space from Danny for at least a little while is probably a good move. She needs some time to get her head straightened out, and Danny’s too deeply entangled in the very problems that she needs to deal with to be helpful in that at the moment.

      So is Ethan, and Mike is Mike, and Dina is the only other friend Amber has. I’m really glad Dina’s revealed that she knows Amber’s secret, because that means Amber can talk to Dina about it, and while Dina is… probably not the world’s best therapist, she’s an uninvolved party, and just talking about it will help Amber get her head on straight so she can start straightening out the rest of her life.

        I hope Amber talks to Ruth, too. Not about Amazi-Girl, necessarily, but about her father problems. I think they’d both probably get some benefit out of that conversation. (Dammit, Billie, stop distracting Ruth from doing her job with your hotness and your alcoholism.)

        I also hope that Dina doesn’t take Amber’s statement that it’s not a secret anymore literally.

      I said it before (in some comment somewhere), I’ll say it again YES! Dina is the perfect sidekick

      1) She’s already stealthy. She’s standing behind you right now. You wont see her even if you look.

      2) She’s already eager to learn.

      3) She already lives with Amber in The Manor / her dorm room

      4) The most famous sidekick? Robin. What’s a robin? A bird. Where did birds come from? Dinosaurs. SEE?

      5) To repeat… DINOSAUR THEMED SIDEKICK PLAYED BY DINA!!!!!!!!!!

    OK I have a DOA unrelated question, how do I find the Roomies/Here’s Walky strips with Marcie in them? I’m trying to find out more about her character in the “other” universe. So far all I have been able to wring out of the search system there is that she exists as a character…

      Marcie never appeared in Roomies! and only made a few appearances in It’s Walky! She didn’t have much character development.

        Yeah, SP had only the one comic with her tagged and she was in the background facing away from the scene.

      The search term is…
      Marcie :

      That’s Marcie’s name, then a space, then a colon, then another space.

      (The spot before the colon is for the type of presence: whether the character is on panel, off-panel, speaking through 2-way comms, et cetera. The spot after the colon is for the type of speech/text: whispering, shouting, narration, singing, and so on. Leave them blank, as here, to keep all results that include the character in any capacity.)

      If you want to see the only time Marcie spoke (“Holy sh**”), search for “Marcie :s “

    My big question is how is this fitting as well as it is. I mean I realize that The sleeves are long but I feel the Waist and bust would be stretched to the point that it’d look like she’s in a bag or something.

      Probably because spandex is elastic; it fits very tightly around Amber’s body, and it is just OK around Dina’s?

        I don’t think it’s elastic though, is it?

        Goes back to SP!, but when Amber was designing the outfit she made mention of it being loose fitting because fighting crime in something tight-fit would, realistically, rip. I’d imagine that same rule applies here in DOA where everything just as much follows realistic physics.

        I mean, Dina’s popping up out of nowhere aside.

    So this is where Amber gets the idea to have Dina act like Amazi-Girl in public while Amber is present, to throw suspicion off of herself? Always a good move when your secret identity is close to being revealed.

    Dina definitely defines cuteness factor.

    As said in upstream post, yes Amber needs to distance herself from witnessed scene of her beating on her father. And right now, Danny is just to close to the problem.

    As ambivalent as Amber is on about everything: Danny broke her heart telling her to go away and then he saved her from killing her father and gets her away from the scene. I can see why she needs distance from him, talk about love-hate relationship.

    She also maybe needs a lawyer. She will be caught-it’s just a matter of time.

    More than one person knows her secret-identity, and too many more are putting two and two together, and will likely soon guess it.
    Dorothy is investigating the ‘2 persons running from scene, one in a cape.”

    Last. Blaine is still alive and if he was pissed before…..

      Blaine won’t press charges. It wouldn’t be macho to rely on the help of others, like as if he wasn’t able to take care of himself. He’s going to hunt her down himself, r███ her, and tell her to stay the hell away from his daughter. (His son can defend himself, she’s just a girl.)

      I’m pretty sure that this strip means that he knows, and she knows he knows, even though neither of them are saying what it is they know.

      I’m not sure how he knows. That strip also seems to imply that it’s not because she told him what she was getting up to. I kind of suspect that somewhere there’s a stick-figure crayon drawing (in Crayola primary yellow and blue) entitled “AmAzzinG GiRL By AmBeR AGe 5”, and Ethan was there when she drew it.

    A tale of two Amazi-Girls!
    In a continuity where wacky hijinks trumped all, this would actually be kinda interesting to see. They could switch off who takes on the Amazi-Girl mantle, and throw people off the trail.
