Whipping out her detective skills. And yay, these two are getting more screen time.
I smell sidekick. Dr. Watson to her sherlock holmes.
Bet she’s gonna go tell ultracar right now!
Well I guess Amber just… *Puts on sunglasses* Dug up the truth
I wonder, would she even know what a boner was?
“It’s, like… enjoying bones?”
Dina, not Joyce.
Joyce at least knows something about people. Dina acts like she’s never seen them before in her life.
YEEEEAAAAHHH…!!!
dang, beat me to it.
GS Mercs, that joke is prehistoric.
But out of site.
I have a bone to pick with all you pundits.
You guys have awakened my wrath. You’re all officially boned
All right, that’s enough ribbing. This is much less humerus than you might think.
You lot should know just how carbon-dated these jokes really are.
Okay, guys, you’ve overdone these jokes so much there’s not even marrow left in these bones.
I refuse to believe we’ve milked this schtick for all it’s worth. We’ve got to keep the puns coming ’til they cry ankle!
This thread is a disaster area. Somebody call FEMUR!
Alright, these puns are terrible, I have taken out contracts with the pun ninjas against all of you, you are all so boned.
Personally I believe it takes a lot of SPINE to keep on using these HUMERUS puns.
That’s enough puns, we are definitely having a sternum discussion later.
That was an innuendo? I may have to bone up on my innuendos.
In YOUR endo.
Gratuitous shiny button…
I’ve heard it boh ways.
I’ve heard it both ways.
Perhaps Dina has too? Though given her look of surprise, I doubt it.
Who doesn’t enjoy boners?
As long as it is someone else’s boner you are enjoying…
HOLY INNUENDO BATMAN!
*punches Plasma Mongoose* I’m Batman!
“NOT THE FACE!“
SPOON!
I’m Batman.
No, I’m Batman!
Are you dense? Are you retarded or something? I’m the goddamn Batman.
It’s Clobbering Time!
…I’m Blackman.
No, seriously. I’m a black man.
I am the terror that Flaps in the night.
… I am Random Person!
*facepalm* PM has missed it.

AHHHHHGH!
I’m Batman, and so’s my wife!
I’m Batman, and so can you! XD
I’m ‘enery the Eighth, I am! ‘Enery the Eighth I am, I am!
I’m Blankman!
Heck, if that’s the meaning of the shirt, there’s a potentially even deeper meaning. Given the position of the graphic, it could mean she likes a bone up against her ta-tas…
Who doesn’t enjoy boners? …with his penis.
Seriously guys it took so long for that joke?
My mind is insufficiently dirty, because I actually did think that shirt was about paleontology.
That may actually be the case.
Me too…
Well, barring REALLY unusual circumstances, you’ll find a lot more dirt during paleontology than during sex…
It can be about paleontology if she wants it to be. It’s her shirt.
Paris Hilton as a paladin?
…I’m not seeing it.
Well she is a blood elf, so there is at least a possibility.
A fallen paladin maybe…
Pshaw. That requires one to have been a Paladin to begin with.
That means she’d have to be convicted to something that isn’t being a slut riding on her father’s fame and money.
She was convicted for cocaine possession. Does that count?
No.
Technically yes, though it only leads her farther down the path of Chaos Warrior… Or ‘Dancer with benefits’.
White has to be the signature color of a paladin’s soul…not the color of what went up her nose.
XD…. >XD
O_O
Nice… you’ve managed to kill my laughbox. I hope you’re REAL proud of yourself, WM.
However, she did unlock the achievement:
*bleep bloop*
Whoring Strumpet
I still haven’t gotten my copy of Arkham City. I hate the postal system.
I’m Batman.
I can deliver you your copy of Arkham City personally, however it requires you hearing me refer to myself as Batman, punching and/or kicking you in the face, and vanishing the moment you blink.
Also, I may decide none of that is worth it and just tie a mobster to a searchlight on your roof and put the game in his coat or something.
But, but, I like my face like it is. Unpunched.
is it bad i keep reading your posts in Christian Bale’s voice?
No. It is not.
The avatar makes this better.
Dina’s last expression: dull surprise. She’s fine with both interpretations.
Level 120? She must have some really good contacts at Blizzard.
That or a VERY crazy DM!!
Yeah, D&D was my first thought, but then, it would probably take less time to design a mmurpgr from the ground up than to level a Paladin to 120. . .
She’s an admin.
or a hacker.
either way, you’re gonna see skulls when you meet her in pvp.
The problem is that she’s in her own bracket. Sure, she wins every time, but where’s the fun in that?
So compared to Dina, Amber is an attention whoring strumpet?
OH MY INDEED!
Dina is adorable! She needs more appearances!
“Went looking for something.”
Technically true, if “rapist filth” counts as “something”.
Now now, the guy is already scarred possibly for life and crawling around God knows where. Give him a break.
If he is really unlucky, he will be trying to slip some roofies into Bubba’s drink so he can AVOID having sex tonight. >:D
probably getting treated for brain damage. When he regains conciousness, he’ll be lucky if he isn’t transported back to 6th grade.
I fear the fiery wrath of “Big Sister”.
You think that’s bad? I’ve seen Joyce mad AND sober, and it’s much more wrathful than ‘Old Testament style Big Sister’
I bet he’s getting the best treatment his organisation can provide…
…Or at the bottom of a river.
It’s possibly both.
Preferably in his femurs.
Absolutely I’ll give Ryan a break. In fact, I’ll give him as many as he desires! So, shall I start with the arms or the legs?
I’d start with the one bone that can’t be fixxed. The same bone he tried to apply to Joyce.
His remains and as to why they are in such a broken state, will be a source of mystery to future archaeologists.
Right after each comic with Dina I think to myself, “She can’t possibly get more adorable, right?” And then I’m proven wrong. You’d think I’d learn by now. Her adorableness is as boundless as the sea.
Amber saved AmaziGirl way back in the past, so AmaziGirl convinced Blizzard to up Amber’s level cap by 35 levels!
I’m sticking with that explanation.
Actually, depending on the actual time of the strip, the standard WoW level cap could be anywhere from the original 60 to the upcoming 90 (Mists of Pandaria for those who didn’t go to Blizzcon). Personally, I choose to believe that Amber has two mains, one Horde one Alliance, and she added the levels to create an imaginary super-main.
That’s very true. But I like to imagine her waiting with baited breathe for Patch 4.3, sooo.
*breath, even! Then again, her lvl 120 pally would probably stomp Deathwing in the face.
I’m curious how Amber managed to get to be a level 120 Paladin while being a WoW player. What is this comic 30 years in the future?
Maybe she’s talking about another MMO?
There’s way too many fantasy MMO’s out there, and a Paladin is a generic character “of good.” (Varies from Holy Knight with superpowers, to regular sword wielding character.) That’s all that matters.
Or if you want to read between the lines, Amber suggests that nobody knows that Dina exists. Which was implied in her first appearance.
that last comment made me check back to make sure someone other than amber has talked to dina. i was starting to think she was a figment of amber’s imagination.
The thing you have to remember is that both Ethan and Mike for certain, and possibly several other characters as well, are also figments of Amber’s imagination.
They aren’t just figments of her imagination, they’re her others persona. In truth, she is The Cheese, and her entire world is her creation made to keep her entertained until he understands what true love is! Ethan didn’t work because he’s gay, and Mike… Well he’s Mike. He might work, but not any time soon.
She has an epic level D&D character. Very epic level.
Goddamn. Around level 25-35 you’re killing gods, who would run to level 120? o__O
She killed the universe. It’s the only explanation. She’s not too happy with where the campaign went from there- too much drifting aimlessly in the void, too many saving throws against fading from all existence. But that’s what you get for ending reality to see what its XP value was.
Nah, that’s only Lv 50-something. At 120th Level, you’re looking at killing the metaverse. As in, the character breaking into reality and killing the players at the table.
And shortly after that you kill the DM at Lv 125.
So… much… nerdiness…
^^^
This.
Blast, my previous post is supposed to endorse Rikushadow5’s breakdown of the powers of Lvls above 50+.
In response to what they do at level 120… They fight these. http://1d4chan.org/images/4/43/Neutronium_golem_page.png
WHAT THE HECK!!?!? :O
I think it might be more accurate to say, they lose to those. Hard.
PSSH. I could easily kill a god or goddess with a level 10 Wizard. It’s all a matter of power-gaming and rule lawyering on a few spells.
Of course, just because I CAN do something doesn’t mean I SHOULD. Power-gaming and rule lawyering suck the fun out of an adventure quicker than Paris Hilton sucks…money out of her father’s bank account. Yeah, that’s it.
Incidentally, I actually have HAD to run a game where my characters were all level 100 (my players insisted). At that point the game becomes VERY role-playing based, and combat is generally to be avoided. That said, their ridiculous over-poweredness can lead to some hilarious scenes. One character was playing baseball and literally smacked the ball into orbit, for example. She then proceeded to run around the bases 120 times in a span of two seconds.
Maybe, but I’m pretty sure it’s been implied or stated earlier in the comic or the twitter feed that she plays WoW.
She did mention WoW previously, but Amber’s apparently a pretty big gamer. I wouldn’t put it past her to play multiple MMOs.
And now I’m wondering if she ever goes on raids with Marigold from Questionable Content.
In a way, she does. She went on a raid with her last night, looking for Ryan. That’s right, the true identity of Amazi-Girl is Marigold!
Canon. This is canon now.
and Momo is her comrad-in-arms, the Pink Puma with her body taser powers.
Yeah, I don’t think she ever mentioned that she and WoW have an exclusive relationship. Especially being as avid a gamer as she is, I would find it odd if she’d deliberately deprived herself of everything else on the market. It would actually make me kind of sad.
there is an mmo called king of kings where you can get to lvl 150. it’s “somewhere on the internets”
No, Amber, no! She’s HAPPY this way! Now you’ll send her into a spiral of depression and inadequacy, ending in her tragic death!
Or she can be indifferent.
Or worse, turn Dina emo.
Brain cannot comprehend an Emo Dina. Shutting down now.
I’m trying to find some way to build on the reference, but I’m laughing too hard to think straight. So this response is the best I can do.
Is it bad that I imagined Dina saying “Oh my!” in George Takei’s voice?
Can’t be any worse than me imagining her saying it in Fluttershy’s voice.
Now I’m hearing all of Dina’s lines in Futtershy’s voice
I was already doing that, even before Fluttershy was around.
Does that make me a Dina Voice Hipster?
Now I’m hearing Fluttershy’s lines in George Takei’s voice.
You aren’t the only one. XD
…What do you mean, “imagined”?
That’s weird, because I heard Judy Garland’s voice.
Amber: (describing the previous nights events) It was mostly fundies and perverts and drunks.
Dina: Fundies and perverts?
Amber: And drunks.
Dina: Oh, my.
Uff Da! DOA Amber is DEFINITELY more outspoken and outgoing than Walkyverse Amber
Well, depending on the system you’re playing, many of a paladin’s powers are charisma based. Note, she never said she plays a level 120 paladin. She said she is a level 120 paladin.
She must have exaggerated for comic effect; there’s no way rapists and douchebags are worth any XP above level 20.
They stop being worth EXP after Lv 7, unless they’re also Outsiders or Demons or something.
If those rapists and douchebags have class levels you can get exp from them practically forever.
Nah, man. Ever pulled all nighters? You get too tired to care about inhibitions like that. Once I hit the 30-40 hour mark, I’d be willing to tell an interested complete stranger my unabridged browsing history.
Like a rolling stone! Like the FBI! Like Doris Day!
Also: You will now read all of Dina’s lines in the voice of George Takei.
How can anyone enjoy the current Speaker of the House of Representatives?
Boehner’s in, Weiner’s out.
Boehner is to much of a cry baby to be in.
Too many Sessions with Boehner will make you take a Cleaver to your Dingle.
You fail punning forever. You lose all your coolness credit.
I kinda miss Dina’s old hat.
But not as much as I miss my Pajama Jeans!
Maybe she likes dinosaur boners?
I mean, maybe she studies their mating habits!
No, I mean, with other dinosaurs!
No, wait! I mean–…Not dinosaur porn!!
Quit fooling yourself. We all know what fills her browser history.
Sue was so dirty. So dirty they had to clean her off…alllllllllllllll niiiiiiiiight.
This is how naive I was: in high school, I played trombone. I took pride in it. So on my music folder, I wrote: “Bones are the best!” When I wasn’t looking, someone else changed it to “Boners are the best!” I DIDN’T SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THAT so I continued to carry the folder around. But my band director (coincidentally my stepfather) was horrified on my behalf, and called me into his office to set me straight!
Wow, just wow.
Now Dave has to do another strip about Dina trying to figure out how her shirt’s about trombone players.
Level 120??? In what game?! WoW level cap is 85…..
In the alternative universe there’s way more expansion packs for WoW.
Since we never got attacked by aliens and stuff, they had more time on their hands and got Warcraft I out earlier, and thus WoW too
Amber seems taller in this strip.
She must have added some points to her “increase height” stat.
In some tabletop RPGs that’s an actual stat. Like Anima, this system I’ve been getting into a lot lately. Your height/weight is influenced by a ratio of your CON and STR.
I didn’t actually know that there was such a thing.
THE MORE YOU KNOW…
And knowing is half the battle!
And the other half is lasers!
So are your characters just starting to go through puberty or something? How does that work?
Well every couple levels you can increase your stats. So…I dunno? It may apply only to character generation, though. I’m honestly not sure on that point.
It’s perspective; compare against the clothes rod in the background. Or alternately, look at panel 1 and gasp at how *HUGE* Dina is. (That might be more entertaining, actually. Do that instead.)
I didn’t even think about that “boner” implication, either. However, I’ve known a few people like Dina from dorm life (if “life” is the term associated with “dorm”).
It’s a life, being in a dorm. And a pretty good one, I found. I was in a quieter dorm (lucky!), and the only thing I ever really had to deal with was the stench of pot flowing from my neighbors’ rooms. That stuff smells HORRIBLE, I don’t know HOW you could inhale it!
Have we found Amazi-Girl’s sidekick? Could this be the beginning of the rise of Dino-Girl?
This is canon. Willis gets no say in the matter.
I’m Batman. I get to say that.
We are all Batman.
I see a Transformers Animated poster. Was Amber out all night because she left the party to search for toys? No wonder she missed all the commotion with Amazi-girl.
I hope she didn’t miss a raid!
When I have enough money, I’m get a hat and a shirt. I can pull off the socially awkward paleontology nerd very well, except male.
Did anyone think something completely different when she looked down at herself after the implication that she enjoys boners?
YES, she be wanting to enjoy bones in more ways than one now.
Come on Dina, we have waited years for you to come back and be awesome. Be awesome dude.
Your gravatar makes it seem like Dina is trying to convince herself
That seems…really in-character, actually!
I had forgotten all about Sabrina Online.
I have to concur. Dina is so cute at being socially awkward. More Dina!
just saying I loved dina since that first moment she hid behind the door from mike and ethan I knew she was my favorite.
oh what a serendipitous avatar ^-^
Dina becomes her sidekick, Paleontology Lass.
Bone-Girl
Bone-Lass
The Mighty Boner!
In the backstory she has to be raised by Marowaks.
If Amber plays Ragnarok Online, she could be a level 120 Paladin.
That she might play WoW and RO and be level capped in both speaks volumes about her nerdliness.
And Dina is nerder.
Has anyone else noticed that both of Mike’s (AU) love interests are roommates? Is this going to be a source of drama later?
When it comes to enjoying boners, it is better to give than receive. ^_^
It seems like it’s just a paleontology shirt to me, but what do I know.
… I’ve actually known people like this.
Am I the only one completely shocked that all of the past year has happened with-in one week?
You can’t help to love Dina.
She’s a Paladin? I’m in love.
It can be both. Why cant it be both?
