    Considering Joe’s dad, his DNA could show up anywhere. Though he and Joe look so similar, that it’s apparently very powerful DNA.

    Somewhere there’s an uncontacted Amazon tribe who all look exactly like Joe. Dr. Rosenthal got blackout drunk on a tour bus in South America during spring break once, and things happened that he can’t remember.

              Shout out to Tobor, who was replaced by a member of the Dark Legion and nobody in the Brotherhood noticed on account of his dad grabbing the wrong Echidna from a pile of wreckage and thinking it was his son, since all of them look the exact same.

    Consider the following: Amber went ham shipping Danny/Ethan/Sal despite all rationality dictating that would be A Bad Time. More specifically, she suddenly declared an interest in Danny smooching boys since “it’s canon.”

    Y’all.

    Amber’s totally gonna wingman for Joe.

    First of all Amber, it doesn’t hurt anyone as long as you DON’T TELL THEM about it and DON’T TRY TO MAKE THESE FANTASIES REAL.

    Second, now I’m gravitating towards Joe being the OG Fap Fairy, given how much he and Amber interacted BEFORE the whole Liz incident.

              The Super Saiyan God metaphor works better IMO, because Captain Planet can’t manifest without all members and their rings present each and every time.

              And by the looks of it, Amber doesn’t need all the OG players around to manifest her powers.

    I really don’t know if Amber is meant to be funny or endearing in this storyline, but that’s a genuinely fucked up thing to say in the first panel.
    Like, nothing about this is cute or something easily brushed off as a joke.

      Pathetic feels like the wrong word, but it’s probably closer than funny or endearing. She’s in a bad place right now and she’s being extremely inappropriate, I don’t think this is supposed to be okay.

      Is Amber’s sexual objectifying of Danny for being bisexual that Danny himself called objectifying and akin to being treated like a weird sex puppet, and then Sal added to that by telling Amber to piss off like half an hour after making a fairly big effort at clearing the air with Amber regarding dating Danny, meant to be an endearing character trait? Probably not.

      I think its meant to highlight Amber is completely unsocialized outside of Amazi-Girl, Mike, and Ethan.

      While Mike and Ethan existed, she had outlets for social interaction.

      Now she has none so she speaks openly only about what she knows: games and erotic fanfic.

      • thejeff

        She rarely interacted with Mike except under protest. She dated Danny (and kind of Walky.) She’s still friendly with both of them. She was friends with Dina and kind of headed in that direction with Sal. A bit.

        She’s definitely got problems, but they’re far more attached to the trauma of last semester (and the rest of her life) than to just lacking social interaction.

        She’s also seriously sleep deprived right now, which isn’t at all good for her.

          But “fix her with my penis” is pretty damn awful. So was the talk of alcohol fueled threesomes.
          It was mostly performative, but so is this.

              Three takeaways from that:

              1. I had no idea there was official Joyce and Walky animation! That must have been something like Flash 5.

              2. Getting some real “early Newgrounds Portal” energy from that. Motion tweens, compressed and recycled audio so it doesn’t take an hour to download at 28.8k…

              3. It’s weird to hear the characters actually talking, not in the internal dialogue voices I usually read their dialogue with.

      It’s ego to ask why a madwoman is invading your space and rambling passive aggressively at you?

      To be fair he probably doesn’t know anything happened to ask about, she just showed up grumbling passive aggressively about stuff that could very well apply to him out of context

      Joe’s desire to be completely carefree and emotionally unattached probably has made him more like his father than his father ever was.

    Is that how she was Ethan? As tall, Jewish furniture?

    I wonder — does AmaziGirl still like herself?

      I think she misses Ethan, and Joe is a good enough stand-in as long as he doesn’t say anything. She can pretend that things are still normal between her and Ethan for a little while. As long as she’s sleep-deprived enough.

      It’d be interesting but what if Mike killed Amazi-Girl?

      Like…AG disappeared after all this because Amber felt it got Mike killed?

      No it’s how real DID works but it might work via comic logic.

    I at first thought this little plotline about Amber being a creep was kinda dull and stupid, but I retroactively withdraw all my complaints, those first three panels make whatever contrivances that needed to happen entirely worth it.

    Joe, you have a sister now. You can’t be “here minding my own business” anymore without that girl run near to you and start talking about things that makes feel you very uncomfortable. But you can do the same! It’s a good thing! If you two don’t end up hating each other, of course.

    I wonder if someone IRL has been talking to Willis about making light of mental illness and how serious it is. Amber looks to me like she’s heading into a serious crisis that could have life-altering cataclysmic consequences.

    “Hey kids! It’s no fun to be mentally ill! Watch this train wreck and see!”

      I really don’t think making fun of mental illness is his intention. In fact what I think is that he actually wants to say that mental health issues are fairly common and aren’t usually treated as seriously or with as much empathy as they should be. He probably wants to spread awareness, I’m only guessing.

      Also this is a comic so many things are exaggerated. But I don’t think Mr. Willis would poke fun at things like these.

      As for myself, reading this comic and the comment section has definitely made me more aware.

      Is he making light of mental illness though? Like DoA is partially a comedy so you can expect certain aspects to be shown in a light-hearted way. But it’s not like several characters who are in the know didn’t express concern with Amber’s state and made it clear that she is Not well.

    There’s a growing issue here that Amber is supposed to be the one drawing these conclusions about herself, but since they come from “Mike” she feels that she can ignore them.

        Speaking of which…

        Willis and I must be mind-linked or something — I had a dream last night that I went on a field trip to HELL, which is what I imagine it must be like to NOT be able to taste Mac and Cheese 😱😱😱

      It probably wouldn’t be very healthy for her, but now I’m just picturing Amber with a Muppet version of Mike (complete with perpetual grump and physics-defying hair).
