        Theory: Ana Chronistic (and therefore also Jen Aside) is a pseudonym for Maggie. Theoretically, she could see the strips months in advance, and have comments for each one queued up.

        Her access to art far ahead of its release is what makes me think that might be the case.

          Amber doesn’t know, since they’re not sharing memories anymore.

          Amber’s behind the wheel right now; the cheek blushes are a tell, and the character tags make it definitive.

          She’s Amber.

          1) Amazi-Girl saw Blaine put on his mask, she would know his secret identity.

          2) Her speech bubbles are white. Amazi-Girl’s speech bubbles are dark blue.

          3) Amber is tagged in this scene. Amazi-Girl is not.

          I think you are missing the point. No, Amber does not know. -Blaine- knows that Amazi-Girl knows who he is. Therefore, even beyond his general doubt that his daughter can’t be anyone of worth, Amber demonstrating her lack of knowledge is actually pretty reasonable proof that she’s not Amazi-Girl (even though she is).

        Actually, he changes everything about himself when he dresses up as Clark.

        In Superman: Birthright, he wanted to not wear a mask. “People won’t trust me if they can’t see my face.” Ma Kent realized that he would have to disguise himself as Clark Kent. The glasses were a way of concealing his beautiful eyes and changing the shape of his face, but she told him he’d still have to do way more than that and advised him to study acting.

        So when he’s Clark, his entire body language and mannerisms are different. He slouches and hunches, speaks softly, wears clothes that don’t fit properly, stays at the back of groups, doesn’t look at you when you’re talking with him, and is deliberately clumsy.

        It’s amazing what a change this can make. I was one of the “haha he’s just wearing glasses ppl are so stoopid” too until this was pointed out to me, and now i find it just so obvious i wonder why i missed it before.

        I’ve been using this lesson too: whenever i have a new NPC for my players to interact with, i try to think of mannerisms and body language to roleplay them in addition to ‘what voice to use.’ I’d -kinda- been doing it before, but now i put thought into it. Deliberately. 🙂

      I can’t make out what it means either. “What are you doing!? Shut up!” would be my guess; BUT i suppose it could be her (looking a blaine, hearing amber claim to be amazi-girl) starting a “that’s ridiculous” laugh but having it be cut off when she turns her head and actually looks at amber and chokes out “heh” because she’s really going “holy carp you really are amazi-girl you have been all along!” inside…Yeah, that sort of realization could really mess with my vocal cords too.

      It sounds like you blame AG for that, but I don’t know whether AG stopped “giving” memories, Amber stopped “listening” to them or the two just grew apart to such an extent that they’re not the same person and therefore don’t have the same set of memories…

              Walky first wore a mask here. Technically he didn’t put it on in that strip but still was immediately recognized by AG. I looked it up but I believe this is the first time amber sees walky wearing a mask. Or it was in one of the patreon things.

      Basically everyone, minus maybe Dina, has been unable to see through Amazi-Girl’s disguise, so it’s more that masks actually work here. 😛

      Anyone, like Marcy, that figures out who Amazi-Girl is has been through deduction, not just looking at her. Doesn’t help that her body language, way of wearing her hair, and even voice are presented as different. Which is going to be tricky here if she can’t actually pull off the transformation willingly.

      There actually is a condition where one is unable to recognize faces (therefore relying on clothing or bahavior or something as an indicator instead). It’s called prosopagnosia and apparently it’s passed down genetically in some instances, though saying either O’Malley has it is a tad out-there at this point.

        I wonder if Dina’s got prosopagnosia and was recognizing Amber by something other than her face to begin with. (I’m prosopagnosiac and I often use movement patterns, which might not be that different between Amber/Amazi-Girl?)

This is still the guy who showed up to campus with a loaded gun, tried to “collect” his daughter and has referred to her as property multiple times. Hit his own daughter and said he’d kill her friends. Pointed a gun at Amazi-girl with intent to kill. Hit Mike with a car and is partially responsible for whatever happened to him. And he’s currently partnering with a mentally unstable criminal in a kidnapping. “If” and this is a big “IF” he somehow turns on Blaine cause I guess he has a sad look on his face. He would barely even break even and that’s being really generous!

      Blaine is totally nuts at this point. With each battering he’s been losing the little sanity he has. He still can follow well-established routines, like having patsies around, but he has lost sight of his original plan (forcing Amber out of college), and he’s blind for revenge on AG. He lost himself when he accepted entering her world of masks and capes.

    Only a delusional psychopath and fricking Joyce don’t believe that it is obvious Amber is Amazi-Girl. You wwould have to be blind or as delusional as Billie to not notice that the chubby short brunette with superhero iconography is Amazi-Girl.

    Also, it is funny that Blaine wanted Amber to be as strong willed as him, but he gets angry when she doesn’t fear him. Self serving social darwinists are scum as repugnant as nazis and rapists.

      It’s never been obvious to anyone in the comic that Amber is Amazi-Girl. Maybe to Dina, no one else has just known. Even here, Sarah also doesn’t know.
      I mean, you can think it’s bad writing to have it that way, but that’s how it is in the comic.

    But yeah it makes sense for her to jump in But if she gets loose you’ll wish Amazi girl was in control ( I kind of wish she was the main personality) as she is the saner personality out of the two

      AG is only measured and controlled because Amber fears her anger and her destructive capability more than anything so AG does the thing she struggles with: controls it.

      But AG isn’t saner than Amber or nicer than Amber. She has been shown stalking Sal and to be capable of cruelty towards Amber herself and others carelessly at times then she backpedals with others some of the time because she remembers she is supposed to be a superhero. Like, she did insult Walky to his face by calling him a trash fire then backpedaled that interaction.

    And that’s why Blaine has already lost – Because he can’t believe the real nature of his enemies and thus is unable to fight them.

    If he knew anything, he’d be more afraid of Amber than Mazie anyway.

    So Blaine is wearing a mask and obscuring his motive. Does he expect not to be recognised?

    How thoroughly can he have prepared to abandon Ross in the frame? Ross’s pastor and co-congregants are probably the bailers of record, and the investigation has no reason to ask where they got the money. What about motel records and the records of the e-scooter he rented to chase Mike? Credit cards and burner phone in the name “Ross McIntyre”? What about his or Yuri’s car?

    Some thoughts on the “mask isn’t a good enough disguise” thing, because I have in the past, due to being closeted and trans, walked past old roommates in a pair of fake glasses, a different outfit, and a ponytail and somehow never got called out on it. This happened enough times that I’m fairly sure my roommates were either being uncharacteristically polite or just… straight up did not notice for a year. When people aren’t expecting it, a loose disguise can be surprisingly effective.
    Although this is probably pushing it, as Amber should probably be expecting her dad to be a massive arse, it’s also a dark room and his voice is somewhat messed up. This could also be a double-bluff, I’m not on patreon so I don’t want to assume plot points before they happen.

    Why is everyone in comics afflicted with Superman syndrome? Seriously, it should take more than just covering your eyes to keep people from realizing who you are. I mean c’mon make an attempt at a different hairstyle or something, wear padded armor, at the very least platform shoes to make you taller.

    Arg! Clark Kenting. I hate Clark Kenting. It involves both parties being unobservant morons.

    I have long been a fan of the idea that everyone in Metropolis knows who Superman is, it’s just he tries so hard, so they go along with his ‘secret identity’ just to be nice. Including the villains. The only exceptions being Lois and Lex. They’re morons.

    I can almost buy Amber getting away with it because she’s almost a shutin gamer geek and Amazagirl is… not (except when she is). Blaine has an image of his daughter built up, so okay, maybe his expectations would overrule his eyes, but for Amber not to recognize her own father who is an abusive asshole because of little more than a domino mask?

    Dumb.

    Over in PS-238 this is dealt with a touch better where Tyler Marlock is deeply confused when people, including his own parents and sorta/kinda twin brother, don’t recognize him while he is wearing his (much better than Amber’s) mask.

    Hmm. I can see how Amber can prove to Joyce (and by extension, probably Sarah) who she is (via the identity of the Whiteboard Ding-Dong Bandit), but I doubt Blaine would take anyone’s word for it (maybe Ross would believe Joyce, depending on how he views her now, but I doubt that extends to Blaine). Obviously there’s the costume in her room, but that’s kinda out-of-reach. And of course, the whole schizophrenia-amnesia issue makes this even harder to believe.

    This is gonna be fun 😡

    So as far as I can remember, Amber’s last fight was with ‘Ol Gash-Face where she legitimately tried to kill him. Now Amber is once again up against someone trying to kill her friends out of costume.

    RIP Ball-Peen but also RIP the last tatters of Amber’s sanity? I’m not sure that’s a worthy trade.
