      If you told her that, she’d combust from being caught between her warring impulses of fundie modesty and the urge to rip off her pants because there’s no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks that she’s going to match Walky.

        According to Sarah she is both remarkably quick (particularly changing) and somehow able to appear by shear force of will. She’d quickly sweep her left arm upwards and new pants would be on by the end of the motion.

          Y’know, if I’d had to pick someone to riff on Amazigirl by making up their own dorky parody of a superhero, I’d’ve pretty much put money on Faz being the one.

          The Faz would’ve called his superhero identity “The Fazinator”, because as everybody knows, the Faz is so…Fazinating.

          The pajama pants and blanket cape are to make him look ridiculous. This probably isn’t serious, it just gives Walky some credit for his anger and maybe helps AG see how bad her brand looks on someone else.

          Plus, Walky threw one punch and bruised his knuckles.

            She’s said things that were clear to people who already knew (like us), but they’re not really more than weird cryptic hints if you don’t already understand.

      Yup. All the jokes about Nightguy’s costume aside, this bit is likely to bring a lot of weirdness into sharp relief.
      Amazi-Girl met up with Walky on the roof a few times (before it was Garbage Roof), but that was all back when they were still sharing memories. She hasn’t seen him since and thus likely has no clue that he’s made out with Amber or that he knows her secret identity.

IMO, the next thing she should say is: “You literally haven’t thought this through beyond ‘I want to support my girlfriend’, have you?” Either that or she’s going to think it’s a sort of cute in the form of: “Oh, look at the silly puppy-dog that can’t stand up!”

    Here’s my concern, actually – are AG and Amber sharing memories again? Last I knew, they weren’t. If they’re not, what happens when Walky inevitably goes to talk to Amber about whatever conversation is to follow this?

    I say concern, but I wouldn’t complain about the dissociation being forced out into the open in conversation.

      Or even more quickly, when Walky brings up something AG doesn’t know about – like them making out or just calls her Amber or something.

    It will surely bring huge problems. But I think it’s sweet how Walky wants to help the girl he likes by becoming the sidekick of her second personality, who probably don’t like him.

      Last time they met AG and Walky got along pretty well. That was awhile back though, while Amber and AG were still sharing memory.

      I’m feeling it’s more like Spiderman/Deadpool dynamic (with, uh… Less guns and ultraviolence on Deadpool-Walky’s part)

        Maybe a Peter Burrito Parker/ Miles Morales (Spiderverse) dynamic? the mentor/mentee part not the father figure part

    So, no chance of it being a dream, huh? Post-orgasmic for either of them, or just another weird one for Joyce?

    (Nice touch having WalkyNightguy’s hair be especially mussed as part of the disguise, btw, just like AG. Nowif he could only get the voice right….)

    But…. Amber isn’t sharing Amazigirl’s memories anymore.

    This could get…weird.

    Amber genuinely won’t know who NightGuy is.

    Is this a sex thing? This is probably a sex thing.

    Walky is more imaginative than Danny, at least.

    Would have gone perfectly with the storyline in It’s Walky $100 Theater.

    “Well, ‘Nightguy’… I recommend you walk to the end of the concrete wall nearest the top of the stairs, where said wall is only about two feet high, and step off. If that’s too complicated for you, perhaps costumed vigilantism is not the path for you.”

Who should be the default doodle for Book 14?
