      Actually, Blaine’s dialog here makes me wonder if he’s aware of the whole Amazi-girl thing. Perhaps Amazi-girl’s origin story comes from Sal’s convenience store hold-up, so Blaine was witness to an early iteration.

      The alternative means being responsible for how well things are or aren’t working out in his life, and while that CAN be enpowering in the longterm, it’s also very alien and scary….While his current Rut is Familiar.

      Blaine said that he and Danny were at a “more neutral place just outside of town”, so they’re not at Noodles & Co. any longer.  But how does Amber — who I notices slipped back into her Amazi-Girl voice — know where to find them?

            Well the following comic has completely deflated this theory, but, for the sake of answering your question, it’s not as if Blaine can just grab Danny and tie him up in the middle of campus. The nice guy act could very well have been a ruse to lure him somewhere more secluded to do the deed.

      What he wants is to watch the light in her eyes fade as she looks up to him and admits that he’s the center of the universe, though he probably thinks he just wants the respect that the good parent he thinks he is deserves.

    • Nick

      Not to presume too much into Willis’ character, but with people like this, it’s generally just “This person belongs to me; I should have complete control over her life and what she does with it.” If she steps out of line, making her miserable is a punishment for the disobedience. What he wants is essentially for her to act like he’s in control. He can complain about lack of spine all he wants; that’s precisely what he’s looking for.

          This covers a thought I had the other day. I couldn’t put together a specific scenario that led to Blaine and Danny meeting Amazi-Girl, but I could see Blaine looking her contemptuously and saying something like, “You’re still playing dress-up as a super-hero, Amber?”

          Then watching the tumblers spinning in Danny’s head finally click and proceeding from there. Preferably with them as a couple and no more Amazi-Girl secrets between them, but that part’s irrelevant to my happiness. It would still be nice, though.

              Unfortunately, if Blaine calls out Amber as Amazigirl, I have a terrible feeling any Amazi-powers will drain away, particularly if he does something like unmasking her. Facing your abuser is a terrible thing; the temptation to revert to the familiar dynamic is overwhelming, and you know, deep down inside (because you were indoctrinated with this knowledge) that you are the one in the wrong, you are the terrible person, and that you need to just straighten out and fly right.

              I don’t envy Amber what’s coming, not one little bit.

                That just continues him being a waste of resources; he couldn’t be a mental vegetable without a hospital, and those are resources and services people much more deserving desperately need.

                Some people don’t cease to be a waste of resources until they’re dead, cremated on a funeral pyre that doubles as heating for the homeless, and flushed down the toilet with the Haribo gummy bear diarrhea you endured for the sake of confirming that particular artificially-sweetened gastric hazard.

    I know Willis promised that no one gets hit with a truck in this comic, but…

    Amber’s on a truck right now. I know this is a fairly realistic webcomic, but just this once would it hurt for her to ride it through the wall and crush Blaine? While she waves a cowboy hat in the air?

    Then she thanks the truck, which turns into Optimus Prime, brofists her, and says “No problem. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings”, then dons the hat and walks away into the sunset?

Something Positive hit a lead character from another comic with a red car once, leading to a spate of comics having random background red car hit-and-runs. Perfect for Blaine. I don’t want to read another strip, hell, another panel, featuring him. A one-panel death and then vanishing is perfect.

      While yelling “Yeehaw!”? What if the truck detonates into a nuclear fireball? 😉

    Do people like Blaine need a reason, an endgame?
    He demands respect and attention and she will listen to his commands or else. He just can’t go away until he breaks her.
    If he had a reason, could we understand it. The man is not right x10.

    of course this all ends with amazi-girl attacking blaine, and danny stepping in to stop her, outraged that his idol love interest whatever is attacking an innocent man when she’s supposed to stand for peace and goodness and justice, and amber interprets it as danny siding with her evil father, and this drives an irrevocable wedge between amber and danny, ensuring their mutual misery, which is just what blaine planned, because a more miserable and isolated amber is an amber easier to control, and then everyone hates danny that much more and amber collapses deeper into the vortex of agony that is her life in dumbing of age, and then willis laughs and drinks chocolate milk

      Blaine is a low-functioning sociopath. His plans depend on him keeping an even temper, and he won’t do that if anything happens he doesn’t like. It wouldn’t be unlikely for him to reveal his thug side, to be the first to raise his voice, or his hand. . .unless Amber’s about to do something stupid.

    I’m thinkin’ that Amazi-Girl jumps off the truck, feet first, and Blaine breaks her fall with his chest. (Call it a heart attack.) Amazi-Girl finishes Blaine off while he still has the wind knocked out of him, unable to reveal her identity. (He saw the “comic book stuff” in her closet, on the first day of Freshman Family Weekend.) Dan steps out of the car, watching her moves, and says, “Gosh! If I hadn’t already figured out your secret identity, I’d be guessing that you were really Amber!”

    I am having some thoughts and wish to share them:

    1) Could Amber possibly be interpreting this conversation as Blaine holding Danny hostage? Or is that too dramatic? Or does level of drama even matter anymore???

    2) So we now understand that Amber changes her voice when she is Amazi-Girl (possibly we knew this before, but I can’t remember). I’m curious how it changes, like in quality. Is it lower, higher, more nasal, etc. Obviously this is not essential information, but I am intrigued. It’s a cool detail that I never thought about.

    Also, depending on how different Amber’s voice is from Amazi-Girl’s voice, it could partially explain how Danny could be so oblivious as to not realize that Amber is Amazi-Girl. But then again, he thinks that Sal is Amazi-Girl even though Sal has a southern dialect (I think?). But maybe I am over analyzing. And by ‘maybe’ I mean yes, I am.

    HERE HAVE SOME THOUGHTS

      I don’t think it’s ever been stated implicitly, but just assumed that Amber’s “hero voice” is symbolized by the white text against dark color in Amazi-Girl’s voice balloons.

      Blaine is holding Danny’s regard for Amber hostage. Close enough for rock and roll, as the kids say.

      And it just occurred to me the blue word balloons might indicate she’s making her voice cold. A relentless and abiding absence of emotion, chilling to the listener; that could even make sense with the dissociative disorder she seems to have

    If I were in Amber’s shoes I’d say these exact words: “You can’t own me, so you’re going to try to destroy my life. That’s not mature, meaningful or even a little original, but good luck. Maybe you can manipulate him against me. And maybe if you try long enough and hard enough you’ll eventually do something stupid enough that I can have you arrested.”

    Though judging by the expressions in the last two panels I think we’re heading for a much more satisfying climax. Secret identities revealed, assholes put in their proper place, maybe? A wheelchair, maybe? Please let it be a wheelchair.

        Federal crime = everywhere in America.
        The justification for making kidnapping a Federal offense (therefore under the FBI’s jurisdiction) is than a kidnapped person might be taken to another state. The FBI isn’t able to deal with purely in-state crime unless an exception is weaseled in there.

      It’s kidnapping if Danny says he wants to get out of the car and Blaine won’t let him. But yeah, he’s good enough at manipulation that he’ll probably not have to worry about anyone finding out, let alone proving it.

      Did you know you’re not allowed to keep driving with a passenger who tells you they want out of your car? There’s probably thousands of kidnappings happening every year that no one notices, including the people involved.

    Blain: Oh this! Its amber’s bat, I wanted to give it back to her in my own way .

    Danny: wow your a great Dad , I don’t know why amber doesn’t like talking about you.

    *amber walks in*

    Amber: Danny, Dad, what’s going on!?

            I guess i focused a little too much on Ed’s age there. Seriously, i know it’s screwed up, but a kid, who is fifteen i believe, beat an adult to death seems like a tad much for the kid. Seriously, Ed deserved better.
            And that’s my point really.
            While it might seem like good revenge.
            That’s her father.
            And family should never beat the living shit out of family.
            They can fight.
            They can bruise.
            But never to that extent.
            It’s gonna end up scarring someone.
            Also, an unnecessary disclaimer,
            I’m talking about siblings mostly.
            Parent-child violence shouldn’t happen.
            It just ends in tears.

    From the preview on the tumblr, I’m guessing Amber as Amazigirl beats Blaine up, which causes Dorothy to become worried about the Amazigirl situation (Dorothy seems worried in the tumblr).

    Either that or those worried expressions have to do with her relationship with Walky and those comments a few days of weren’t far off the mark. Which wouldn’t be that unlikely, considering the high level of drama in Dumbing of Age.

    Either that, or something different or far craftier is planned by Willis.

    I actually really hope Amber does the sensible thing and contact someone to help accompany her. It’s just a shame that Ruth has no jurisdiction outside the campus grounds, she barely knows Sarah, and Dina has yet to realize her dinosaur powers.

    Her only other allies are Ethan and Mike. Which does not a good superhero sidekick make. But telling someone like Dorothy, who she knows is writing for the newspaper, could be something.

    But Amber is gonna throw a curve-ball at him by showing up as her masked alter-ego, one who Danny implicitly trusts, and it will all fall down like a flimsy house of cards.

    My hope is for Amber and AG showing up in one person. Enough of this secret identity and semi-psychotic breaks. It turns out that Clark Kent can fly and Bruce Wayne can kick ass. It’s time for Amber to be IMMUNE FROM CRITICISM all the time, not just when she is wearing the mask.

            I imagine him to be at LEAST 45, if he has a daughter old enough to be in college. Sure it’s possible, but I just don’t imagine him to have gotten married and become a father by 22 years old.

    All the “Get him!” comments make me a little sad. This is a much more realistic universe. If she beats the crap out of Blaine, it will go badly for her in the long run. If she kills him, it’ll go worse. If it comes to violence at all, it will be bad for her legally, and probably harmful to her psyche.

    But then again, grounded in reality isn’t the same as reality.

    Just jumping in to say that the “Big Bad Harv” DID storyline for Harvey in TAS was probably one of the few things that really annoyed me about the series, if only because they couldn’t even bother to think of a different name for the alter. As a side note, I’d love to see a story where it’s determined that Two-Face’s DID is entirely the product of Iatrogenesis.

    Yes,.. I’m a bad person.
    I want Amber as Amazi-girl to beat her Dads Azz,…

    I want Danny to realize that Amber is Amazi-girl,.. I’m so tired of significant others in the superhero set having no sense of smell, having no awareness of body language/shape/recognition to wear all a hero has to do is put on a pair of glasses and folk don’t recognize them.

    I hope Walky gets a clue,.. I like his wackiness and SOME of his bad habits,.. but sometimes he’s just too,… too,.. (A year and I’m still looking for the word that means completely devoid or unaware of the base social conventions that allow civilization to function smoothly.) to take.

    Finally,.. I want Joyce to get laid,… thouroughly. I want her to be soft and gooey for a few with a goofy smile on her face at odd moments.

    Yeah, yeah,.. I know, reading too much into a comic,.. I know.

      In case you haven’t been reading Willis’s works for the last decade and a half, there’s a reason why he uses @damnyouwillis as a Twitter handle. That was the phrase most used in the forums over at Keenspot, and later at the Nightstar Zoo. Willis is well known for flawed characters who we all fall in love with. Being a fan of the Walkyverse and Dumbingverse means reading too much into the comics. If they weren’t flawed, we wouldn’t enjoy reading so much.

      Besides, you can already see growth in pretty much all of the characters, despite the relatively short time period that has passed to them (has it even been a month yet?). Walky is, admittedly grudgingly, maturing as a person thanks to Dorothy’s influence. He’s dressing better, and taking school a little more seriously. Dorothy is taking school a little less seriously,which she frankly needed to do (all work and no play makes Dotty a dull girl). And even Joyce is doing some growing up. Her best friend is an atheist fer crissake! Danny is due for some growth himself, so I bet Amazigirl is going to be revealed pretty soon.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.
