So Amber in the Shortpacked universe has an abusive Dad and consequently becomes Amazi-Girl who’s only real strength is immunity to criticism meanwhile Dumbing of Age Amber’s Dad just walked out and that coupled with her boyfriend coming out of the closet was enough to make her a far more effective Amazi-Girl? Now I’m worried that Faz when he finally appears will be some criminal mastermind.
Just because this is all she’s telling her right now doesn’t mean that’s all there is to it. And while the Batman/Spiderman archetype exists for a reason, it’s silly to assume that people who are well-adjusted can’t be heroic.
Well, part of it is probably that without her dad, she not only had the confidence, but also the ability to join track and field. Giving her a place to work out, which walkyverses amazigirl did have.
I haven’t seen that much name dropping since the time I hosted the Emmys!
[insert cutaway gag who’s punchline is either racist, sexist, or just mean spirited]
Wait… Saurornithoides Mongoliensis??? Could this mean that Amiza-girl is part Saurornithoides Mongoliensis and part hero? ‘Cause that would explain her invulinerability to criticism.
I tried to link to an old Walky and Joyce strip (but the site wouldn’t let me) that includes the words “Warm my feet”… if you remember it, this would definitely diminish the sexy factor.
See, I’m almost the opposite. I change all the time. I AM THE EMBODIMENT OF HERACLITUS’ RIVER AND FIRE. Also I tend to change my mind about things and can be persuaded, or at least have a change of heart, rather easily when compared to most stubborn-headed people out there. Reed>Oak, because I do love me the sound of music, and that professor’s always telling me what not to do, EVEN WHEN HE’S NOT THERE.
…What I’m saying is, don’t change too much either, because then you become a nutcase and envision a very lonely life on the romantic side of things. You’ll get plenty of friends, though; everyone likes to see a monkey dance!
Oh dear, I can’t dance; I’ve got ciment shoes, a lead tongue, a dulled brain and a heart of (1 carat) gold. I AM MORE MACHINE THAN MAN. Also, I think everyone’s going to be over Gangnam Style in a while, like the Numa-numa Guy and other such viral phenomena, but I must admit that its invasion of the mainstream media might grant it a better standing in the collective mind, although it now surges with so much information and new pop-cultural elements that its fickleness might soon rival my own.
Gangnam style is just this generations version of the Macarena…That feels weird to say. I’m not sure if I’m old enough to be commenting about generations yet.
On most dinosaur metrics, the Masiakasaurus is not quite as cool as the Saurornithoides, but it gets hella bonus points for being named after one of the greatest guitarists in the world.
For me, it’s mostly the gnarly-looking lower jaw it’s sporting. Not to mention the fact that it’s one of the few dinosaurs found in Madagascar, and, yeah, the Mark Knopfler thing.
Whoa, whoa. Saurornithoides is not the same as Troodon. It is a troodontid, but we haven’t found enough evidence of Saurornithoides to suggest that it was quite as smart as its North American cousin. However, it has been said to have some of the largest eyes of any dinosaur (proportionally, that is), which is a trait that most known troodontids share.
Sorry. Massive dino nerd. Incidentally, Dina is one of my favorite characters.
Dina’s detachment from humanity and social norms will likely turn her into the saurornithoides that she loves so much. At least mentally. Maybe she will take up a mantle and become her roommate’s nemesis! I could see Dina as a super-villain, with her vast amount of knowledge, indifference to societal structures, and unimposing-yet-aloof demeanor.
I think my favorite part was at the end where Frank Lapedis from LOST was the helicopter pilot, totally awesome (well, perhaps the “some sort of future language” line was also pretty awesome).
*twitch* Dimetrodon wasn’t a dinosaur. It was a synapsid, closer related to mammals than dinosaurs. If we’re allowing non-dinosaur prehistoric creatures, I’d say Tylosaurus proriger, or if restricted to true dinosaurs, Gigantoraptor erlianensis.
I remember in the Walky-verse, Ethan inadvertently coming out to his mom over the phone (thanks to Mike). We never really got to see how that version of Ethan’s family responded to him being gay. I wonder if they were more accepting than the DoA version.

OMG. she really is cute.
Suggesting the messiah is cute is certainly not allowed.
Nibbler: Sometimes I fear we truly are cute.
Fiona: Oh, niggle-snoosh!
SomeONE not someTHING
Dinosaurs are people too!
Oh yeah! High five!
..eh…eehhhh… My tiny arms can’t reach that high! How about a middle two?
…Good enough for me!
Wait… Dina likes dinosaurs?!
These sudden personality changes have thrown me for a loop as well.
Where do I sign up to join her in the process?
Jurassic Park.
Its not a thing, its a dino.
You must be Whoopie Goldberg in real life.
I wouldn’t mind being a dinosaur either.
Unless I was one of the small ones that got eaten all the time.
Yeah, but you might get feathers and some early wings. Take THAT Red Bull.
Curse you Willis! Making me hand type out saurornithoides mongoliensis. into google
Guess I lucked out then, I just scanned the comments until I found yours and then copied it.
Picturing that dino in Dina’s hat gave me a giggle.
Someone needs to draw some fan art, or maybe photoshop a hat onto a picture.
Your welcome citizen. My work is done. *Fwoosh
Me too!

I wish I could draw because I would so draw that dinosaur in the hat dina wears.
You think that’s difficult? Try pronouncing it with a mouth full of cereal!
@Wonder Wig & Ed Rhodes – the Internet thanks you for your tireless service to it’s lazy residents.
I’ve never changed who I am. Only added more layers
Shift + Ctrl + N.
Seeing your comment, I initially misread the last word as “lawyers”.
Made kind of sense that way, too!
It’s this, you guys:

It has a cool tail thing.
That is pretty cool.
I approve of this life goal.

Excuse me, how many Giant Pastry Monsters has DoA Amazi-girl taken down?
Scoreboard.
-1 DoA /+1 walkyverse in that
5+ DoA/ +4 walkyverse criminals Amazi-girl taken out…i think

Dina: Goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus. Well, goddamn tyrannosaurus at any rate.
I now picture Jesse Ventura offering Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers a bowl of cereal while wearing Dina’s hat.
This amuses me greatly.
I haven’t seen that much name dropping since the time I hosted the Emmys!
[insert cutaway gag who’s punchline is either racist, sexist, or just mean spirited]
Hence the hat…? Σ=
Wow. I started typing in that dinosaur name and after the first eight letters it was the first thing to pop up.
Wait… Saurornithoides Mongoliensis??? Could this mean that Amiza-girl is part Saurornithoides Mongoliensis and part hero? ‘Cause that would explain her invulinerability to criticism.
I am not good at changing myself. Which is why I don’t have a girlfriend, despite how devilishly handsome and talented I am.
You look like the devil and are talented at the fiddle?!?!
Who doesn’t want to date the guy with mad Fiddle skills? And I don’t care what anyone says, Goat hooves are SEXY.
I tried to link to an old Walky and Joyce strip (but the site wouldn’t let me) that includes the words “Warm my feet”… if you remember it, this would definitely diminish the sexy factor.
And a goat below the waist.
Seriously though, once you force yourself to floss regularly, everything else seems easy in comparison.
I barely got into the habit to BRUSH regurally :T

Only if it is dancing Gungan Style.

I’ve heard it both ways… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKkuLzLqwF0

Meesa seesa sexy lady!
Personally, I’d want to be Masiakiasaurus knopfleri, but that’s just me.
On most dinosaur metrics, the Masiakasaurus is not quite as cool as the Saurornithoides, but it gets hella bonus points for being named after one of the greatest guitarists in the world.
For me, it’s mostly the gnarly-looking lower jaw it’s sporting. Not to mention the fact that it’s one of the few dinosaurs found in Madagascar, and, yeah, the Mark Knopfler thing.
I have great shame in admitting I’ve never heard of Saurornithoides Mongoliensis.
You and 70% of the earth’s population
That’s what Dina wants to be?
Clever girl.
OhhhHOOOOOO I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
Awesomeness.
That would be the hero name I’d pick for her if she became Amazigirl’s sidekick.
Dina wants to be a Troodon?? Well I suppose that makes sense. They’re considered to be UBER smart dinos as they had bigger brains than other species..
The smartness is why I picked it. Or, well, what I figured Dina would pick.
Has she not seen the awesomeness that is Stegasaurus? Hell, what does she think of Dinobots? Enquiring geeks wish to know.
Whoa, whoa. Saurornithoides is not the same as Troodon. It is a troodontid, but we haven’t found enough evidence of Saurornithoides to suggest that it was quite as smart as its North American cousin. However, it has been said to have some of the largest eyes of any dinosaur (proportionally, that is), which is a trait that most known troodontids share.

Maybe she will take up a mantle and become her roommate’s nemesis! I could see Dina as a super-villain, with her vast amount of knowledge, indifference to societal structures, and unimposing-yet-aloof demeanor.
She is quickly becoming my favorite character.
If they hadn’t died out, they could have become Dennis Hopper
I would have gone for velociraptor mongoliensis – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQrRg3LtjXY
Not obscure enough
I think my favorite part was at the end where Frank Lapedis from LOST was the helicopter pilot, totally awesome (well, perhaps the “some sort of future language” line was also pretty awesome).
I can see myself as a Dimetrodon, but my favorite was always Ankylosaurus.
*twitch* Dimetrodon wasn’t a dinosaur. It was a synapsid, closer related to mammals than dinosaurs. If we’re allowing non-dinosaur prehistoric creatures, I’d say Tylosaurus proriger, or if restricted to true dinosaurs, Gigantoraptor erlianensis.
Amazi-Girl Origin Flashback? AmaziOrigin?
Dinah would make the cutest sidekick for Amazi Girl.
Amazi Girl and Dino Gal!!
Dino-Ninja
I’m waiting for the reveal that Dinah has been following her for the past week and Amber just hadn’t noticed.
Yes, if only Amazi-Girl were in this comic
I’m liking this exchange between Amber and Dina. Can’t wait to see more!
Me too, I’m thinking spin-off series
I remember in the Walky-verse, Ethan inadvertently coming out to his mom over the phone (thanks to Mike). We never really got to see how that version of Ethan’s family responded to him being gay. I wonder if they were more accepting than the DoA version.
They were. By the time SP!Ethan had nearly reached his thirties, his parents had pretty much guessed.
I think we’ve all been there, Dina
