Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
This is complicated, because Faye has appeared in DoA, presumably as an IU student, and her father is still alive here. Apparently he only took his own life after she graduated from whichever college she attended in QC. The Dumbiverse also doesn’t seem to have sentient AIs like QC does.
This leaves us with two possibilities: DoA takes place in QC’s past, or they’re entirely separate timelines.
But wait, there was that one time, years ago, where Amber made an appearance at Coffee of Doom. This was reciprocated in Shortpacked! at the same time. The Walkyverse did have sentient AI, with Ultra Car and the Zoomers. (Whoa, that’s a cheesy band name.) Does that imply the QCverse and Walkyverse are the same continuity? Or is it another instance of parallel versions of the same character?
Some comic somewhere needs a Tommy Westphall to tie all this together.
Dangit, this was supposed to be a reply to Marsh Maryrose. I blame the page jumping around and the Android keyboard disappearing at random. Please delete, if you’d be so kind?
There was the time she hurdled a hedge and dropped three or four feet on the other side. Does that count? (I did that once. My ankle hurt for weeks afterward.)
Walky is still in a weird limbo state where he regularly operates social interactions like he’s in a TV show, but is only just learning that people don’t work like that.
It took me until my mid-late 20s to learn that. He’s in for a rough ride.
We’ve seen Dina in Coffee of Doom, so we know she can spontaneously transport herself to Northampton. Maybe Amber has some such ability? Or maybe Amber could “hitchhike” with Dina?
To learn the greater secrets of teleportation, Amber will need to complete a gruelling training montage involving hiding behind doors, eating cereal for every meal, and dinosaur recognition flashcards.

Well, you just need to contract it out to an extrovert dork. Good thing you have plenty to chose from. In this instance Danny might be awkward given the circumstances. Becky is otherwise engaged. Joyce does, however, seem to have some free time on her hands.
Deal with anxiety by dissociating to the point where there is an actual mental breakdown into different personas that interact poorly and make your life miserable? Most of us try not to, I guess.
Yeah it is *really* not good for you in the long run. Like Granny Weatherwax grabbing the sword, you’re not avoiding the consequences, just delaying them. With interest.
Look Amber, if you’re gonna give Walky extra excuses to avoid talking to Asher then you’re kind of signing yourself up to talk to him instead!
Anyway, the more anxious they get about Asher the more I feel like we’re being set up for the twist that he’s totally chill now. …Unless it’s a double-twist or something >.>
I looooove this comic, I just started reading 3 days ago and now ive finally made it. So why do I feel so sad you ask? Because now I have to waiiiiiiit
TRANS WOMEN OF BLUESKY:
What was your egg cracking moment?
When did you know you were trans? What made you realize?
And did you know you were a woman right away, or did you pass through other identities first
Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Happy International Non-Binary People's Day to all those who work, create, parent, protest, love and live without ever fitting into someone else's category.
Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip.
Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons.
Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s:

hey, kid, what do you want to play with from the cool superhero movie? is it a nude, melting senator who feels like a stretch armstrong doll that has been left out in the son and maybe mildly chewed by a neighborhood dog? WELL, SON, YOU'RE IN LUCK!
“we just cohabit meatspace… I should charge rent”
So shoving her out of the bush will work out then?
Quick Willis, tag all the bushes in prior strips!
Went through 45 pages of the Amber tag. Closest I could find were the time she hid behind a tree
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/04-the-do-list/sweeten/
And the time Sal dragged her off unconscious away from the street before the cops arrived
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-6/01-to-those-whod-ground-me/highstrung/
If she’s hiding behind a bush and not visible, would she be tagged?
Anyway, there is also a Patreon blue-panel strip where she is literally hiding behind a tree.

(funnily enough, you did reply to the right person, just not the right comment by that person)
There was the time she hurdled a hedge and dropped three or four feet on the other side. Does that count? (I did that once. My ankle hurt for weeks afterward.)
Also, the whole thing where Asher might be passingly familiar with Sal getting stabbed and the potential for awkwardness with all that.
I didn’t realize that bushes were a common site for preserving amber.
It’s Amazi-Girl Lite™! Same skills and abilities, all of the guilt! Made with 100% all-natural social anxiety!
Butt none of that sweet sweet spandex we’ve come to know and love.
Dumbing of Age Book 9: This is Not the First Bush I’ve Hidden Behind
DoA Book 9: What Part of Who I Am Suggests I’m Cool With Initiating Conversations With Total Strangers?
Dumbing of age book 9: I am not Amazi-girl.
At this point I want Asher to lean over the bush and be like, “You know I can hear you guys, right?”
Also why does Walky assume smoking makes Asher a bad guy? His sister smokes as well.
The coding works, Sal can be at best a lancer to any stories actual protagonist. She’s too ‘rebel’.
Walky is still in a weird limbo state where he regularly operates social interactions like he’s in a TV show, but is only just learning that people don’t work like that.
It took me until my mid-late 20s to learn that. He’s in for a rough ride.
Sal is apparently inured to having some people (hi, Linda!) having her
coded as a hoodlum.
Saying “villain-coded” isn’t the same thing as saying “is a villain.”
Maybe he’s asthmatic? I am so I kind of automatically see people who smoke as whatever the real-life version of “villian-coded” is
If bushes were trees, the trees would be fallin’
Listen to reason, season is calling…
Whispering grass, don’t tell the trees,
‘Cause the trees don’t need to know.
It’s the Ink Spots and R.E.M. mashup we’ve all been waiting for.
Oh, right, that.
Damn you anxiety.
Well, you can’t talk with Asher directly, but you can still go punch the guy that tried to kill Marcie.
Not without hauling ass to Connecticut she can’t, sadly.
We’ve seen Dina in Coffee of Doom, so we know she can spontaneously transport herself to Northampton. Maybe Amber has some such ability? Or maybe Amber could “hitchhike” with Dina?

Dina’s powers are limited. Becky wasn’t even able to hitchhike into the ER.
ROAD TRIP!
Well, you just need to contract it out to an extrovert dork. Good thing you have plenty to chose from. In this instance Danny might be awkward given the circumstances. Becky is otherwise engaged. Joyce does, however, seem to have some free time on her hands.
I suddenly want fanart of Amber hiding behind George Bush.
W, or H.W.? I think Cheney’s taking up all the space behind W.
Smoking up? I’m starting a list. It’ll be titled “Weird Dialect of Indiana.” So far the list includes “smoking up” and “blushing up.”
Seconded
Amber has an Excel spreadsheet of every bush on campus with their concealment quotient.
It’s pretty neat how Amber can cure her anxiety by playing a different persona. Why don’t we all do that?
I’m not certain that “playing” is quite the right verb here…

Hey look! Sean Spicer is also back here!
This is going as well as I expected~ XD
It was indeed a bad plan that didn’t really know what it was about or think itself through at all.
a vague excuse to flirt
The fact that Amber can acknowledge she has Amazigirl’s skill seems like a good sign. No expert on DID though.
Yesterday a ‘Seagulls’ reference in the alt text, and today we have Amber and Walky waiting in the bushes (of love).
Let us pray that they don’t find any crispy bodies by the door.
Well, Owen and Beru were certainly smoking up, though don’t think they were villain coded.
Well, they did force Luke to drink that blue milk.
Look Amber, if you’re gonna give Walky extra excuses to avoid talking to Asher then you’re kind of signing yourself up to talk to him instead!
Anyway, the more anxious they get about Asher the more I feel like we’re being set up for the twist that he’s totally chill now. …Unless it’s a double-twist or something >.>
…someone reminds him that Sal smokes, too
I looooove this comic, I just started reading 3 days ago and now ive finally made it. So why do I feel so sad you ask? Because now I have to waiiiiiiit
Well, here’s one instance of hiding behind bushes… http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/04-the-bechdel-test/journalist/
I love them. So much.
Walky your sister and mom smoke
