            As I said before I believe Mike is Amazi-Girl, after all most guys still consider it to be embarrassing when a girl beats them up, so he gets to be an ass and still do some good

    It clearly has nothing to do with the fact that she immediatly started flirting with Walky and she would be completely unable to justify any sentiment against him ever?

      Well, they did a bit more than just “flirting”. Where I come from we often call it “hot sloppy make-outs” or “tongue-fucking each-other’s faces”. Whichever works.

        April 5, 2012 at 12:34 am | #

        Since never. I know. But then again, Dorothy seems to be more of a “rational” type, in a sense. But she also is not made of stone, and would not want someone she cares for to be unhappy, even if she has no intention of being in a relationship with them any longer. It takes maturity.

        And to be frank, the fact that she seems to be happy with Walky probably helps.

    Yeah, she broke up with him, and she’d clearly already moved on mentally even before she met Walky. Doesn’t seem strange to me. Count your blessings, Dorothy!

      She should be overjoyed actually. She’d been trying to convince him to move on and find his own path. Then again, this would be the perfect time to develop conflicting emotions.

    • Leorale

      come to think of it, whenever I’ve broken up with somebody, I’ve felt glad for them / relieved of guilt when they’ve found somebody else.

    The only thing that Dotty might be bothered with by Amber is how much she looks like her, suggesting that Danny has a clear type.

      Even if so, she could be flattered, if she thinks of herself as the template for that type. Though, knowing her, she’d probably be a little more annoyed at that prospect, because it would imply that he’s not yet over her.

    I just realized that Sarah’s complete shunning of anyone who brings “drama” into her little bubble is way more immature than the actual drama.

    I’m not sure why it took me so long to catch on.

      That or she at some subconscious level is aware that one or two Willis comics ago being at the center of the drama was a great way to get horrifically killed, and thus avoiding such things is a better way to avoid having your studies interrupted.

    You know, it never occurred to me before, but after Sarah’s last line, I’m suddenly starting to “hear” Dorothy’s voice as that of Daria Morgendorffer, and that makes me smile for some reason.

    I hope this comment isn’t as horrible as it sounds in my head, but I just had to get it out. Why does Sarah dress like a lunchlady? That tank top and the headkerchief really take me back to the high school cafeteria. And as I’m sure anyone who endured public school knows, the cafeteria is a place to be feared. It is not a good place.
