Just talk to Mike, Danno!
But can Amazi-Girl defeat Mike?
she might not have to, i don’t think i’ve ever seen them both in the same strip
they did a marvel team-up in shortpacked! to fight the giant honey bun, but that of course is in an alternate reality where mike thinks amazi-girl is amber.
http://www.shortpacked.com/2009/comic/book-10/01-this-man-this-manhattan/amazigirl/
Mike is Amazi-Girl! Or maybe he and Sal trade off.
Amazi-girl is immune to criticism. Mike’s main weapon.
Jump of a building, Danny. That’s how Lois Lane does it.
and in that Shortpacked comic with young TV Clark Kent who never gets superpowers…
Oh that Clark Kent has superpowers…he just barely ever uses them.
Cause, y’know, who wants to see Clark Kent actually using his super powers as a superhero?
Where’s Mike when you need him?
Is Danny so in love that… he’s seeing the world through rose-colored glasses?
I think it’s supposed to be… sunset? So there’s pinkish light?
If this was a sci-fi series, the world would have a greener tint.
Can we just get the ‘faaaace’ out of our systems real quick?
FAAAAAAAAAACE.
There, that did it.
faaaace with a penis for a nickel inside your mom with blah blah I can’t remember the rest of them…
Femurs, kneecaps, need to live, and… darnit, you’re right, we’re still missing a few.
Perverse.
Sexual.
Lust.
Wait… perverse journalistic lust? :3
For Science?
for Journalistic Science!!
DAMN YOU WILLIS and your Journalistic Science!
–I think that’s the lot now…
Don’t worry, guys. I’m here…butts
Butts disease
Butts disease
I want to punch him in the face, but then Amazi-Girl would show up and punch me in the face…
Kinkyyyyyy… I like it!
where’s mike when you need him?
Being where you’d rather he wasn’t.
Don’t you need a giant search light with the letter “A” on it?
Giant search light with a Fisher-Price corn popper on it, I think.
Danny, I’m about to punch you in the face.
Danny’s chances would increase if he became some manner of news executive.
Help help! I’m being repressed!
Bloody peasant!!
Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That’s what I’m on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn’t you?
MAN! This ALMOST made me stop wanting to punch Danny in the face!
I can’t in good conscience wish harm on Danny. He’s me at fifteen. But still, the face. It’s like a punch magnet.
So Danny wanting to be punched in the face is counter productive?
You very rarely get what you want in drama. The one time you want to get hit, you never can. As soon as you give up, you’re surrounded by thugs.
He’s you at fifteen? I don’t think he’s fifteen.
I don’t think he’s really matured as far as he should have, so it seems even to me.
As has been pointed out, if he’s you at fifteen, it’s worth mentioning he has to be almost twenty.
He’s a really, really young nineteen.
Someone needs to save Danny from all those misguided hopes crashing all around him.
Subtlety is overrated.
Danny couldn’t attract Amazi-Girl if Godzilla was standing on him. Not after he told her alter ego he was not interested in her, he was going to be hanging around with Amazi-girl from now on. Oh wait, Amazi-girl is the alter ego…anyway…as said, try calling up Godzilla and see what happens Danny boy.
Amber being Amazi-Girl? Now you’re just being silly.
Who said anything about Amber being Amazi-Girl? Besides, it’s clearly Joe’s alter-ego.
Well, Amber IS the only one he’s told on-panel so far, IIRC.
Huh? I thought Sal’s motorcylce was Amazi-girl.
Sal’s motorcycle is clearly Spider-Car.
And SAL is Amazi-Girl. They’re a team. Duh.
Has Danny even talked to Sal?
Weird? I didn’t see Dina at lunch but that doesn’t mean that see wasn’t there I guess.
Dina is the invisible girl. She’s been in nearly every strip so far, but she’s spent most of her time behind a door or a reasonable facsimile.
Is that Faz’s Hispanic half brother?
Nope. It’s Bryan and Jim, from Squad 135!
…You remember them, right?
…Jim with the Tasmanian Devil routine? “I hope this is one of those ceiling fan things and not one of those airplane propeller things?”
And Bryan? Who…um….huh. Did he do anything memorable? No? Then why did I recognize him on sight? He was always hanging around Daisy. That was it. He was her #2 or whatever.
How does it feel, Willis, to have a fan as obsessed with your work as you are about other peoples?
(Honestly I had to look up Bryan.)
Doing it wrong, he is.
The backgrounds look GREAT here. And I’m not just saying that because I took your photo reference.
So THAT’s why Louis Lane always got into really stupid and dangerous situations. She wasn’t dumb, she was just cravin’ some Superlovin’.
Louis Lane?
Lois Lane’s cousin from Gotham. Also had a thing for Superman. Went by Louis until the operation, then switched to Louise.
DC sure does some strange storylines.
and here I thought Louis Lane was from Earth 63, where all the genders of the characters are reversed (not a real alternate Earth in DC, but it’d be funny if they went there)
WHY WOULD I PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE, STRANGER?
If I was Amazi-Girl I’d let his ass get punched.
Ass-punching is a whole different kink.
I think in the first panel, “I’d” should be “I’ve.” “I’d” sounds weird.
“I don’t think I had appreciated how hard…” is better English, I feel.
The “had” isn’t necessary, but at least it has tense agreement.
You’re right. That agreement needs a massage.
Funny, I mostly stumbled over the term “appreciated”. In this context I would have expected it to be “anticipated”, “apprehended” or something. “Appreciated” isn’t wrong, grammatically, it just sounds weird because it’s rarely used the way it’s used here… I think.
It’s definitely not as common as “anticipated,” you’re right.
Besides, proper english is not necessary in dialogue unless the person speaking is someone who would be meticulous about how they put sentences together.
desperation is not attractive, it is replusive…Danny school is where you are supposed to grow, not shrink into manhood.
You only way I know of where you can shrink into manhood is a cold swimming pool.
#ThingsILearnedFromSeinfeld
Seinfeld did it before the Simpsons?
Holy Crap!
Soup Nazi’s too!
Bags full of ice can cause the same effect. Just ask all of the vicitims of Yuki…. TENTACLES!!!

Well, it’s called Dumbing of Age, so I guess Danny is doing it right.
Oh, Danny boy, the punch the punch is caaalliiiiiing!
From fist to fist and down the blackened eye!
And suddenly Mike, with his desire to always punch people in the face, arrives to punch Danny…
Perfect symbiosis.
I won’t lie, my first reaction was “Troy and Abed in the comic!”
Jim and Bryan didn’t really have any personality that I could recall. All the background SEMME folks were kinda generically snarky and pissy. I wouldn’t mind them becoming this comic’s Troy and Abed.
What a coincidence, Danny.
I was thinking the exact opposite.
Well Danny, you can go one of two ways. One, act like Lois Lane or two, be the villain.
Danny will because a super-villan, the Dan-man, just to attract amaizi-girl attentions. Fuck yeah. :3
It wouldn’t be the first time somebody got into supervilliany that way – see My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
Is it wrong to wish that somebody would? Just askin’ … you know … for a friend!
So which one is Bryan and which one is Jim!? I find myself oddly curious. Why couldn’t you be more stereotypical and named them B. Dawg and Jose?
Well frankly, Jim isn’t Jose because he’s part Native American, not Hispanic.
It amuses me greatly that you’ve considered this.
At least it does identify who is which.
I’m just excited to see new, presumably recurring characters.
Wow. That’s some really nice layouts there with the panels. Good work.
Uh, I mean, Mike will punch him in the FAAAACE for a nickel. With his penis. Or something.
Maybe he should ask Lois Lane to have the abiltiy of “always having trouble follows you”
