Nope – a random clock will likely be incorrect all the time. Assuming we are talking about the clock being totally random every second of the day – that’s 86,400 random times (or instances) per day. Therefore a clock that is random every second has a 1 in 86,400 chance of being correct any given second of the day, or a 1 in 237 chance of being correct once per year.
Well, no. It has a greater chance than that. Specifically 1-((1/86400)^86400) each day. Which equals… Something that is very nearly equal to one. So, yes. A random clock is very likely to be right at least once a day.
Math was wrong there, that’s 1 in 7464960000 because the clock picks the random number at random times, so it has a 1/86400 chance of being right 1/86400 times. Two random odds multiply.
Actually, my second attempt is correct, because we’re assuming it changes every second. If you assume it changes every random number of seconds, it actually makes more sense to use a second by second model, stating that the number was the exact same as the last one. Using a random interval model actually makes it harder to predict, as we’d need formula for exactly when it would randomly change. For instance, it would have a Uniform chance of changing for every second.
By this I mean there is an equal chance of the random clock staying on the same second for the entire day, as there is for it staying on the same second for exactly twenty three seconds.
The thing is, that when you collect all of these possibilities, you still have to account for what second the clock shows, and what second it actually is.
This means that no matter what happens, there are always 86399 seconds that do not match up with what the true time is. And the chance of it still not hitting that second is going to be repeated 86400. Once for every second of the day.
My point is, that it doesn’t matter if the clock changes at random intervals.
The chance of any one second getting hit twice in a row is 1 in 7464960000, but since the actual time changes, there’s still a 1/86400 chance that it is correct.
The probability it’s right AT LEAST once, is going to be 63.212%
Trust me on this.
I know math.
“You must be that little Spanish brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. It’s simply incredible. Have you been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? I think that’s the worst thing I ever heard. How marvelous.” – Count Rugen
Willis has shown he has no problem with drawing explicit sex, now let’s see how he feels about extreme violence (and wait for it to come out on Slipshine).
I got 99 problems and pneumonia’s one. I also have a problem with the man who decided how pneumonia’s spelled. I can deal with that silent P. But what kind of sadistic asshole puts two vowels next to each other?
Actually, “you” is the result of some sadistic asshole who put THREE vowels next to each other. You’re looking for the people behind “each”, who are Germans.
Actually, pneumonia’s from a Greco-Roman root, IIRC, but it came to England from France. BLAME THE FRENCH!
English is basically just German with Latin, Greek, Norse, Goidelic and Brythonic loan words – and with an atypical French grammatical structure awkwardly overlaid on top, and the largest vocabulary of any language on Earth. Have fun, guys.
No, actually what makes English a Germanic language is that it _doesn’t_ have a French grammatical structure. It has a West Germanic syntax, albeit with a significant loss of declension. It borrows heavily in its lexicon from Latin (in three waves — during Anglo-Saxon times, during the Anglo-French era, and during the late Early Modern) and French. There is also a significant Norse admixture from the Danelaw.
One way you can tell that English is not French in syntax is that English is always Subject-Verb-Object, but French can be SVO, SOV, or VSO depending on the context.
I’m going out on a limb for this, but I would suspect part of the strength of English as a language is that it was already weathering a loss of verb and noun endings when the Norse invaded. That simply escalated things, and the introduction of French loanwords finished the process off.
One thing French probably _is_ responsible for is the shift in stress from always being on the first syllable, since in French words tend to be stressed on the final syllable and the addition of so many words with a different stress structure would shift things.
Why shouldn’t English have the largest vocabulary of any language?
Whenever we’ve seen a word we like in someone else’s language, we helped ourselves to it.
TO be fair: Billie is the one who talked him into his current thinking. Though he’s spent more time around Amber AND Amazi-Girl than Billie did, put together… So, nevermind. Danny’s just a dumbass.
I’m pretty sure he knows about Amazi-Girl, was using that information to blackmail her, and doesn’t comprehend why she would risk Danny finding out like this.
I don’t Blaine has any reason to know or even think that Amber is Amazi-Girl. He may have had some power/control over Amber as her parent while she was a minor, but the only power he currently has over her is financial in that he could possibly withhold the funds to pay for college — and he has already made veiled threats along those lines.
He’s also threatened her to tell Danny “what kind of little spaz” she is. I guess that’s what John interpreted as him knowing she’s Amazi-Girl, but I’m not sure about it. I don’t know what precisely he was referring to, but it has to be something she doesn’t want Danny to know, since she went from “why don’t you go f…” to “I’ll be there”. Still, that “spaz” thing isn’t the first thing that would come to my mind if I were to blackmail Amber about her secret identity.
I was thinking more along the lines of her “violent behavior towards him,” which he of course would paint in the worst possible light. It’s possible there are similar incidents of aggressive lashing out she’s had in the past that he’d be aware of?
She did tell Danny she became Amazi-Girl as a way to channel her aggressiveness, which makes me wonder if she “acted out,” so to speak, in other ways before coming up with that.
I think, if Blaine knows about Amazi-Girl, it’s very unlikely that he thinks of her as a serious thing with a serious secret identity that Amber needs to protect to keep from getting into serious trouble with the law. “Still running around playing childish dress-up games in public, this is what comes of spending all her time reading comic book trash with that faggot,” more likely. Obviously it’s an embarrassing secret that she wouldn’t want her new boyfriend (even if he is a complete imbecile) to find out about, or he’ll know she isn’t cool and stop dating her.
He doesn’t know that Amazi-Girl is immune to criticism. And he probably thinks she “got lucky” with that uppercut.
See, I took her response to Blaine’s threat as the best possible- “Trying to blackmail me? I’ll preempt that myself, then deal with you while I’m at it”.
Sitting in the handicapped parking spot in your nice dry car and making your daughter walk in the pouring rain to meet you is totally what caring fathers do!
I mean, there’s no way this can end well really. Blaine isn’t going to fall for the mask, and if she lays one finger on him, he’ll have firepower to get her kicked out of school.
The funny (but not really) way for it to go is Danny trying to say “Well, that’s not Amber, it’s this smoking, hot girl I met today” and Sal gets in trouble for it and Amber has to go through some existential crisis of doing the right thing, or doing what would both punish the convenience store robber and save her own ass.
-goes back to muttering ‘shit’ under my breath until tomorrow night-
Unless Sal has witnesses who can place her elsewhere at the time, making Danny go “If it wasn’t Sal, then who was it?” and because he’s oblivious and the only other witness to the incident is in a coma with multiple fractures, no charges are laid.
True, but this isn’t in a place he isn’t allowed and she came to him. Plus, that just means he can argue it’s a pattern for her and not just a one-time act of emotion.
They all have a delicious Mcdonalds dinner with each other and forget their worries.
(Which probably counts as Deus Ex Machina because a “good Mcdonalds dinner” is a myth).
I don’t know.. After slowly walking in the rain, rage seeping from my very pores, dogs howling in terror as I pass.. A McGangbang is pretty damn good. It’s how I spend every Tuesday night. Might be awkward to eat a McGangbang with ones father, though.
Thanks for trying to make me feel better guys, but no, it’s just a cartoon lemon that looks on the bright side. Not a fear lemon. But oh well, such is life.
When life gives you lemons, give them back! Don’t take any stinkin’ lemons from life! Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons! Burn life’s house down! With lemons!
How I hesitated,
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day
It’s a brand new me,
I’ve got no remorse
Now the water’s rising
But I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna punch with force
It’s a brand new day
Excellent work on what I assume are shadowy, indistinct cars parked in the lot. Pouring rain definitely makes it hard to discern what it is, especially at night.
I hope so! The only other option for Blaine is to start the car and drive away NOW. Who needs the Four Horsmen when you’ve got one pissed off Amazi-Girl?
Although… considering Willis’ superior writing skills and ability to outthink the fans… it could be that when she gets to the car, she pulls out a deck of cards and kicks Blaine & Danny’s asses in a rousing game of Uno.
(While “O Fortuna” plays in the background, of course)
I know what you mean, I get all kinds of random shite since I got hit in the head with a truck. And then did a face plant from about 16 feet in the air to a concrete street surface. After tumbling violently around all 3 axis. It is a miracle I can even compose a coherent thought after that.
Actually, looking at the spacing in the comic, he appears to be parked straddling the line between TWO spaces, one of which is about where the handicapped space would be.
Amazi-girl won’t do what needs to be done. Someone call Frank Castle.
I think he just drew the parking spaces extra wide – if you go look at the view in google maps, there’s only one space to the left of the ramp. It is a handicapped space though.
Afterwards proving popular, issues for Amazi-Girl the Red will come out. It will eventually be revealed that the Red and Blue Amazi-Girls are two halves of Amazi-Girl which recombine during the crossover event between the two of them, back into Amazi-Girl.
Wait, she could totally pretend that she’s not Amber by beating up Blaine for parking in the handicapped spot! Then she’ll still be in character AND her identity is safe. And knowing Danny, he’d actually buy it.
This whole comic has been a constant barrage of Willis drawing scenes in actual places on the Indiana U Campus, I’m not sure why people are surprised that he’d draw this scene in an actual place.
Sadly, this intersection is NW of where Amazi-Girl got on the truck, and it looks to me like she was east bound at the time. Too bad the truck wasn’t going in the other direction. I suppose that’s why there was a scene change.
Well, Blaine specified the location of the meeting without any knowledge about Amber’s transportation situation; she probably got off at the earliest opportunity and walked there.
So, this is how it happens.
I predict Amber is going to get caught by police and unmasked as Amazi-Girl during whatever hapens with Blaine (and that’s until Feb 3rd at least according to tumblr). All the newspapershots seem to indicate we’ll be getting a fallout from this event all through the next storyline.
Fingers crossed she doesn’t kill him.
Also: damn, Willis knows how to write an engaging storyline.
Amazing girl: “I’m here to kick ass and chew gum, and i’m all out of gum”
Blaine: “Dafu-” pumpeled to death-
Danny: “w-who are you?!?”
Amazing girl: “His worse nightmare” *flash of lightening and Amazing girl is gone*
Yup.. This is how I see this happening.
Lots of peeps calling for blood up in here. But beating up her dad would be a rather significant loss for Amber, given her issues about violence and her dad. Just look at how bad she freaked out the last time she hit him.
Also, there are the legal consequences to consider, as well as Amazi-girl’s secret identity getting less and less secret.
Yeah, I hope she just winds up blowing him off and walking away. If Blaine tries to get physical, Danny just punches him. Character development for all.
No, but there have been references made to them. Ruth mentions to Billie that she (Ruth) has been putting off telling Amber that campus security had caught her dad trying to sneak into the residence hall overnight. Assuming a report was written — and under the CYA principle there undoubtedly was, although it probably wound up in the F&F folder — he does have that strike against him
Blaine: “Stand back Amber! Wouldn’t want ole’ Danny here to see what kind of SPAZ you are, do we?”
Amber: “Your social life requires the use of femurs to survive, mine does not. I will target your faaace, before tearing apart your femurs located below your shattered hip. And after every single bone in your pelvis is shattered, I will walk over your cold shriveled balls to recover my boyfriend. Now, shall we begin?”
Wow so you are saying that the bible is pretentious and repetetive? Repetitive sure, all lessons have to be repeated multiple times so really stick. I don’t know about pretentious.
I’m not the first one expecting this to lead to a “kissing in the rain” scene, am I? Presumably after Blaine’s had the stupid kicked out of him twice over and after Amber explains herself.
Something to think on. This is rain. The comic’s been going for roughly three and a half years? And it’s been going on for three weeks, in-universe. So… How long will Willis have to draw snow? How long will Christmas take? Winter break?
Amazi-Girl’s MO has always been to goad bad guys into attacking her, then kicking ass in “self defense” (which can include the defense of another). Not taking any bets as to whether she can maintain that self-control this time, but she’s had a nice long walk to plan her attack.
First, beckon Danny out of the car. If Blaine physically restrains him, she’s got a (flimsy) pretext to come to his aid. If only Danny initially emerges, tell him that Amber’s been dodging this stalker all weekend, and that he needs to run to safety (and coincidentally out of earshot). If Blaine won’t be baited into attacking her, she rejoins Danny and works off her stress in some other way. (Pity she recently dropped those condoms.)
If Blaine and Danny both emerge at the same time, loudly tell Blaine that he isn’t allowed in the dorms and tried to lure “somebody” away from safety. Tell him that “somebody” has answered his call, then tell Danny to run clear.
This is the best strategy I can think of. It won’t protect her secret identity if Blaine just mentioned that “She’s wearing that comic book stuff I saw in her closet.” Nor will it do so if Blaine notices that her desire to hide that identity is a weakness he can threaten. (Nor will it protect against the wandering cop scenario others pondered, above.)
Still, if she’s going to be revealed, she has a standing offer to control the message by granting an interview…
…and I think it would be hilarious if Danny and Amazi-Girl came pounding on Dorothy’s door right now.
Cops? What be those? We only have a Ruth, an Amazi-Girl and that woman who escorted Blaine out once, anything else would clearly be over the top when you factor in Amazi-Girl’s skills. -w-
Amazi-girl obviously has misunderstood the situaton and is there because she thinks Blaine is a pedophile that has kidnapped Danny with the lure of peppermint candy sticks. She doesn’t realize that Blaine is actually the father of his good friend Amber, and that they’re staging a sort of intervention on her inappropriate behavior.
I’m not sure if Amber’s into Pokemon in this verse, but the only thing I can imagine is this playing (at around thirty seconds) for that last panel. Though it may be prematurely triumphant for this moment.
Yeah, so her father is going to laugh at her, she’s going to get impotently angry, and Danny is going to sit there being useless like at the end of It’s Walky!
What! They don’t? Shit, I have been using it all these years for nothing. Was wondering why roving ganges of lingerie models weren’t chasing down my late middle aged ass all the time.
“But officer, I didn’t kill my father! You heard from the witness, my friend Danny, who was there; Amazigirl killed my father! Am I sad he’s dead? Not really, but I didn’t do it!”
So I’m thinking Blaine will say something along the lines of “still dressing up like super hero” (or similar) thus being both a douche towards Amber and letting Danny know who she really is
Just saying, I really like how the “rain effect” in the last panel (I’m sorry that I’m not sure how to word it properly), especially how the rain falls on Amazi-Girl.

“Amber, are you cosplaying as Amazi-Girl? Awesome job!”
Amber? Why are you dressed up like Amazi-Girl?
This happened to Peter Parker early on.
Amazi-Girl’s mask gets ripped off
Danny: “Amber? Why do you have an Amazi-Girl costume on? She’ll get angry at you for impersonating her!”
Ninja’d! Somehow by 8 minutes! That’s amazing.
“Amazi-Girl? How do you know Amber’s dad?”
“Because she is Amber, you moron!”
-Danny pulls out a gun- “Was”
Thank you. That’s the exact part I was thinking of.
Are you here to return my game?
He’s in the handicapped parking spot.
Cue Joe Piscopo in Johnny Dangerously.
Well Willis, it seems like he’ll need that handicap sticker after this encounter, time for some femurs
How convenient that he’s at AAA, too
I don’t think he’ll have a car left to put it in.
I’m rooting for compound spinal fractures and traction. Here’s hoping she’s gonna go Bane on his ass.
Bane the Blaine. That’s the name of the game. Put that douche in a ton of pain.
These next few panels will be extremely painful…
… for him.
Willis has shown he has no problem with drawing explicit sex, now let’s see how he feels about extreme violence (and wait for it to come out on Slipshine).
“Amber performs a beating”
No, Amazi-Girl performs a femur removal and beats blain over the head with them. With extra blood for no reason in particular.
Great. Now she’s going to have issues *and* pneumonia.
I got 99 problems and pneumonia’s one. I also have a problem with the man who decided how pneumonia’s spelled. I can deal with that silent P. But what kind of sadistic asshole puts two vowels next to each other?
Apparently you be one of them…
Actually, “you” is the result of some sadistic asshole who put THREE vowels next to each other. You’re looking for the people behind “each”, who are Germans.
Actually, pneumonia’s from a Greco-Roman root, IIRC, but it came to England from France. BLAME THE FRENCH!
As a german, I was a bit irritated by your first paragraph. But I’m perfectly fine with BLAME THE FRENCH!
B L A M E C A N A D A !!
(They’re part French, aren’t they?)
I thought the vowels were A, E, I, O and U? Since when was Y a vowel?
It a vowel some thyme.
sometimes y! (as in try, cry, sty, fry, my, pyre, lyre, myre, syre, byre, and tyre)
Shy gypsy slyly spryly tryst by my crypt.
No, if it was German, it would be longer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7F20xIb4kI
And angrier.

English is basically just German with Latin, Greek, Norse, Goidelic and Brythonic loan words – and with an atypical French grammatical structure awkwardly overlaid on top, and the largest vocabulary of any language on Earth. Have fun, guys.
History of English, in 10 minutes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rexKqvgPVuA
History of English in One Sentence: English is a language that follows other languages into dark alleys and beats them up for their vocabulary.
English is straight up gansta, son. You best come correct.
No, actually what makes English a Germanic language is that it _doesn’t_ have a French grammatical structure. It has a West Germanic syntax, albeit with a significant loss of declension. It borrows heavily in its lexicon from Latin (in three waves — during Anglo-Saxon times, during the Anglo-French era, and during the late Early Modern) and French. There is also a significant Norse admixture from the Danelaw.
One way you can tell that English is not French in syntax is that English is always Subject-Verb-Object, but French can be SVO, SOV, or VSO depending on the context.
I’m going out on a limb for this, but I would suspect part of the strength of English as a language is that it was already weathering a loss of verb and noun endings when the Norse invaded. That simply escalated things, and the introduction of French loanwords finished the process off.
One thing French probably _is_ responsible for is the shift in stress from always being on the first syllable, since in French words tend to be stressed on the final syllable and the addition of so many words with a different stress structure would shift things.
What I took from your explanation is mostly:
BLAME THE FRENCH!
Why shouldn’t English have the largest vocabulary of any language?
Whenever we’ve seen a word we like in someone else’s language, we helped ourselves to it.
Well, then take these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRK694NA6Cc
Amazi-Girl is impervious. Period.
oh hell yes!
Sombody gonna get hurt…really bad!
What’cha gonna do, Blaine, when Amazi-Girl runs wild on you?
… Somebody. I don’t know who.
But I think you know him pretty well!
Blaine will probably recognise her, wonder how long it’ll take Danny.
What? Blaine doesn’t even know Sal.
That joke got seriously old a while ago. >_>
Agreed. Danny made that mistake. We should know better than to follow in his footsteps.
TO be fair: Billie is the one who talked him into his current thinking. Though he’s spent more time around Amber AND Amazi-Girl than Billie did, put together… So, nevermind. Danny’s just a dumbass.
That’s part of the fun, take a joke, and beat it to death, then beat it some more.
Blaine looks so confused.
It’s because he called Amber. He has no idea why AMAZI-GIRL is here.
I’m pretty sure he knows about Amazi-Girl, was using that information to blackmail her, and doesn’t comprehend why she would risk Danny finding out like this.
I don’t Blaine has any reason to know or even think that Amber is Amazi-Girl. He may have had some power/control over Amber as her parent while she was a minor, but the only power he currently has over her is financial in that he could possibly withhold the funds to pay for college — and he has already made veiled threats along those lines.
He’s also threatened her to tell Danny “what kind of little spaz” she is. I guess that’s what John interpreted as him knowing she’s Amazi-Girl, but I’m not sure about it. I don’t know what precisely he was referring to, but it has to be something she doesn’t want Danny to know, since she went from “why don’t you go f…” to “I’ll be there”. Still, that “spaz” thing isn’t the first thing that would come to my mind if I were to blackmail Amber about her secret identity.
I was thinking more along the lines of her “violent behavior towards him,” which he of course would paint in the worst possible light. It’s possible there are similar incidents of aggressive lashing out she’s had in the past that he’d be aware of?
She did tell Danny she became Amazi-Girl as a way to channel her aggressiveness, which makes me wonder if she “acted out,” so to speak, in other ways before coming up with that.
I think, if Blaine knows about Amazi-Girl, it’s very unlikely that he thinks of her as a serious thing with a serious secret identity that Amber needs to protect to keep from getting into serious trouble with the law. “Still running around playing childish dress-up games in public, this is what comes of spending all her time reading comic book trash with that faggot,” more likely. Obviously it’s an embarrassing secret that she wouldn’t want her new boyfriend (even if he is a complete imbecile) to find out about, or he’ll know she isn’t cool and stop dating her.
He doesn’t know that Amazi-Girl is immune to criticism. And he probably thinks she “got lucky” with that uppercut.
I just recalled his surprise in finding a grappling hook in her closet. It makes me think he knows nothing about Amazi-Girl.
This!
Think about how he reacted – he wasn’t especially SURPRISED, just upset about one more thing she’s spending “his” money on.
See, I took her response to Blaine’s threat as the best possible- “Trying to blackmail me? I’ll preempt that myself, then deal with you while I’m at it”.
IT CAME FROM MCDONALDS
Sounds like a horrible 50’s B-Movie title.
Or an awesome retro poster.
Despite how horrible, or because, i would buy both.
And then go buy 20 mcnuggets, because McDonalds.
Panels 3 & 4 by themselves are beggin’ for some “Caption This” action.
Sounds like something I’d say after a fast-food induced bathroom trip.
Just make into a grindhouse feature with this intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P51cMstawuc
with Amazi-Girl going crazy grindhouse style.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42dIAt2-VpM
Giggles.
Halloween spooky McNuggets?
Please please please please PLEASE. Danny can’t POSSIBLY be that stupid THIS time around!
…Right?
I . . . .
*ponders*
I better leave this to Willis.
“Thy Willis Be Done”
It’s Danny. Never underestimate his obliviousness.
Faz’ll beat up Blaine for leaving him tied up. Literally.
So Faz is Amazi-Girl? I did not see that coming…
“Yea, though I walk through the parking lot of death, I shall fear no Blaine, for I am the baddest motherfucker there.”
^^^This ^^^^
Seconded!
Shouldn’t the rain be steaming off of her from the sheer fury?
Actually it looks like the rain is just … dematerializing about a half-inch before it heads her head. Which is even more awesome.
The weather can’t stop her now. The rage is too real…
Enough to send the polar vortex back home.
Fuck Old Man Winter. Fuck him right in the frozen shithole that he’s turned the Midwest into.
The cold never bothered her anyway.
Nice. Not to mention the big fanboy crush on Elsa I have right now.
The rain just…ceases to be when it gets in her vacinity. She has become Anti-matter.
More like Amazi-matter
If that were the case, everything around her would be exploding, all the time.
Yup, she is so angry the water is vapourizing before it hits her head.
Yeah, Judgment is coming.
Violence is coming.
Winter is coming.
Walky and Dorothy are coming
Brakkus is coming.
A storm is coming.
They already came!
Midterms are coming.
…. what? We forgot that we were supposed to be studying amidst all this drama? CRAP!
Ask not for whom the bell tolls.
This will not be pretty.
Sitting in the handicapped parking spot in your nice dry car and making your daughter walk in the pouring rain to meet you is totally what caring fathers do!
Danny, how fucking dense are you?
I’ll just post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1NN9rnNpEQ
*whistles*
The role of Buck will be played by Faz.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qd_7Bnxblo4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOr0na6mKJQ
I’m sure I’m doing this wrong. Whatever.
You could have done worse.
Try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5nB2OJnCko
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCw_aAS7vWI
Actual reaction: Aw, shit. Shitshitshit… [etc, etc.]
I mean, there’s no way this can end well really. Blaine isn’t going to fall for the mask, and if she lays one finger on him, he’ll have firepower to get her kicked out of school.
The funny (but not really) way for it to go is Danny trying to say “Well, that’s not Amber, it’s this smoking, hot girl I met today” and Sal gets in trouble for it and Amber has to go through some existential crisis of doing the right thing, or doing what would both punish the convenience store robber and save her own ass.
-goes back to muttering ‘shit’ under my breath until tomorrow night-
Its only a problem if there are witnesses left alive.
Unless Sal has witnesses who can place her elsewhere at the time, making Danny go “If it wasn’t Sal, then who was it?” and because he’s oblivious and the only other witness to the incident is in a coma with multiple fractures, no charges are laid.
“and if she lays one finger on him, he’ll have firepower to get her kicked out of school.”
How is this more true now than it was when she punched the hell out of him in her dorm room? Am I forgetting something?
He was menacing her, and trespassing. She might be at fault technically, but what DA would think a jury would convict for that?
An estimated 90% of daughters punching their abusive fathers in the faces goes unreported
True, but this isn’t in a place he isn’t allowed and she came to him. Plus, that just means he can argue it’s a pattern for her and not just a one-time act of emotion.
KNOCK KNOCK MOTHERFUCKER
I like to think that she would break a car window before knocking on the glass.
Well, she breaks the window, grabs Blaine and then say “Knock knock!”
Amber is the one who knocks!
She will knock four times.
*knock knock knock*
“Danny?”
*knock knock knock*
“Danny?”
*knock knock knock”
“Danny?”
Amber is secretly 50 cent.
“KNOCK KNOCK!”
“Uh… who’s there?”
“Interrupting superhero.”
“… Interrupting su-” *WHAM*
She should get out of the Blaine
Hey Blaine be careful what you wish for…
I don’t know about you guys, but I have this feeling that everything is going to be okay. Don’t you think so?
I have a feeling we won’t know and Willis is gonna leave us all hanging.
If a fountain of blood covers the next strip, we’ll know what happened.
Yep, tomorrow we shift to Dina reading dinosaur romance (It’s a thing! http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/so-theres-an-author-on-amazon-who-writes-erotic-novels-about http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/10-real-book-covers-from-dinosaur-on-human-sex-novels/ )
Rule 34 in action.
Yesterday (the 25th) was Opposite Day.
All right. In all seriousness. Things are gonna get bad. There is literally no way, other than deus ex macina, for this to end well.
Blaine Gets shot. Then Faz comes out with a smoking gun:
“That is for forgetting the mighty Faz”.
While plausible, that’s still a deus ex machina in my book.
*Faz shoots you*
“That is for diminishing the mighty Faz’s only significant plot point.”
They all have a delicious Mcdonalds dinner with each other and forget their worries.
(Which probably counts as Deus Ex Machina because a “good Mcdonalds dinner” is a myth).
I don’t know.. After slowly walking in the rain, rage seeping from my very pores, dogs howling in terror as I pass.. A McGangbang is pretty damn good. It’s how I spend every Tuesday night. Might be awkward to eat a McGangbang with ones father, though.
“and you shall know my name is Amazi-girl when I lay my vengeance upon the”
Ask not for whom the doom comes.
It comes for thee.
My God.
man, my avatar is terrible for getting across the seriousness I was going for
Is it a clockwork lemon? That could work.
Combustible, not clockwork. Sorry. Too much Girl Genius.
Sometimes, a smile is a lot scarier than a scowl.
Thanks for trying to make me feel better guys, but no, it’s just a cartoon lemon that looks on the bright side. Not a fear lemon. But oh well, such is life.
When life gives you smiling lemons…compromise with frowning melons
When life gives you lemons, use them to make the batteries to power your hand-held death rays.
When life gives you lemons, give them back! Don’t take any stinkin’ lemons from life! Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons! Burn life’s house down! With lemons!
Sorry Batman, you are no Cave Johnson
I wonder how much the mood would change if it was actually a beautiful day outside with birds singing and people present.
Unlike my avatar, your Questioning Eagle is just right for your feelings.
It’s a brand new day,
And the sun is high.
All the birds are singing,
‘Cause you’re gonna die.
How I hesitated,
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day
It’s a brand new me,
I’ve got no remorse
Now the water’s rising
But I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna punch with force
It’s a brand new day
And Danny will see the badass me
Not a joke, not a freak, not a dreamer.
And Blaine will scream
When his ass I ream
With his own bloody femur!
Now I just need to compose a catchy tune, something bouncy with a dance beat suitable for beating a man to death by.
Snuffing of Ages in 3… 2… 1….
…All hell is about to break loose, isn’t it?
Hell hath no fury like a woman pissed off at her dad
Yep…and when that happens, they’ll be right in the eye of the storm.
All Hell is about to break in.
Whoa the rain really helps to better convey her anger throughout her entire face.
Just realised, Danny’s psychic because he sense Walky coming.
Danny can sense anybody who is coming….it makes his weekends a bit weird at times.
I thought that was Joe’s power?
No. Joe’s power is to CAUSE people to cum.
Let he who is without clues (Danny the clueless one) view the first ass kicking
Deshi… deshi… Basara… Basara
Excellent work on what I assume are shadowy, indistinct cars parked in the lot. Pouring rain definitely makes it hard to discern what it is, especially at night.
And that’s how Blaine got punched so hard he died in that OTHER universe as well.
Superboy Prime once punched so hard he caused people to come back to life in another universe. I’d believe Amazi-Girl has the opposite power.
YES! This is now my head-canon.
*sounds of chanting viking chorus in background*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxyQIA_FvTU
I was thinking the barbarian choir from Skyrim, but that’s pretty cool too.
http://youtu.be/F8jxqyyWWw0
Amazi-Girl wants VENGEANCE! Amazi-Girl wants BLAINE!
They need to leave.
(but they won’t)
Parking in the handicapped spot isn’t “cartoonishly evil”, it’s “planning ahead”.
If looks could kill! Blaine is in for a world of pain.
You know…that last panel is missing something…like, say, the sound of thunder and a lightning strike.
YES. I came here for this. Maybe it will come in the next strip?
Cue: “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYFdldfYEJk Official Video good sound but grainy video.
And I looked and beheld a pale woman, and Death was her name, and Hell followed with her…
+1
Appropriate, because Amber is about to get all biblical on his ass!
I hope so! The only other option for Blaine is to start the car and drive away NOW. Who needs the Four Horsmen when you’ve got one pissed off Amazi-Girl?
Although… considering Willis’ superior writing skills and ability to outthink the fans… it could be that when she gets to the car, she pulls out a deck of cards and kicks Blaine & Danny’s asses in a rousing game of Uno.
(While “O Fortuna” plays in the background, of course)
*shrug*
Holy shit what’s Amber thinking!? Is she going to straight up reveal her own identity!?
If Blaine is going to die, it doesn’t matter. And Danny is too dumb to realize AG really is Amber.
Blaine is lucky Amber didn’t turn up driving the truck.
(Though by the looks, there’s not going to be a lot of difference damagewise)
Willis did say nobody was going to die from a truck in this universe (at least no one important). Does Blaine count as “important”?
Hahahaha….Blaine…welcome..to DIE!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaRA0Y7I__0
She looks like the dude from “No Country for Old Men”
Blaine needs to die.
Cue the intense fighting music!
On a serious note, though, it’s about time she faced her problems, and a confrontation like this might do her good.
I got a couple of suggestions for fight music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOID9JXwkL8 and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U8FdCPrMaU
How about these?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lsn2tT5yTc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH_6iFYiryY
Lightning flashes and suddenly she is right next to his window with the music from Halloween in the background
Murder both of them.
Take a glass beer bottle and stab them in their fucking face.
“Amber? Amber, what happened here.”
“It is over. I won.”
KILL DANNY!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_83MEuLoz9Y ?
He’s in the Handicapped spot. On top of a handicapped person.
Who is about to be handicapped.
I have “Burn” by The Cure playing on my computer as I’m seeing this page, and it feels strangely appropriate.
In my mind Helter Skelter by the Beatles. At full “went to 11” blast.
Seriously though I hope she messes Blaine Up. like a T-rex on a Ford Explorer.
Shit got real, yo. @o@
BY the way… Blaine’s car looks like an Isuzu Impulse. Or a Nissan NX.
Geez, the things my rewired brain comes up with…
I know what you mean, I get all kinds of random shite since I got hit in the head with a truck. And then did a face plant from about 16 feet in the air to a concrete street surface. After tumbling violently around all 3 axis. It is a miracle I can even compose a coherent thought after that.
I got here while this started playing on Pandora:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjVlbjD-bnU
Pandora, you’re awesome.
Is that asshole in the handicap spot!?!?
So cartoonishly evil of him!
Also, he poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague unto our houses.
He did?
No…but are we gonna wait around until he does?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQa9zWK5XJA
And salted the earth so that nothing ever grows on it….
Actually, looking at the spacing in the comic, he appears to be parked straddling the line between TWO spaces, one of which is about where the handicapped space would be.
Amazi-girl won’t do what needs to be done. Someone call Frank Castle.
I think he just drew the parking spaces extra wide – if you go look at the view in google maps, there’s only one space to the left of the ramp. It is a handicapped space though.
Looking at the reference photo, I think this is mostly right, but he does seem to be parked at an angle across the striped area.
No, call Black Hat Guy
Let’s face it. Only one person is coming alive from this. You have three guesses who. First two don’t count.
It’ll be Danny. Amazi-Girl will order him to flee while she takes on Blaine, and then they’ll plummet into the abyss locked in mortal combat.
In a week, Amber will return reincarnated as Amazi-Girl the Blue, with a differently-colored costume and her hair combed.
Afterwards proving popular, issues for Amazi-Girl the Red will come out. It will eventually be revealed that the Red and Blue Amazi-Girls are two halves of Amazi-Girl which recombine during the crossover event between the two of them, back into Amazi-Girl.
This is an imaginary story…
aren’t they all?
Wait, she could totally pretend that she’s not Amber by beating up Blaine for parking in the handicapped spot! Then she’ll still be in character AND her identity is safe. And knowing Danny, he’d actually buy it.
And here’s the perfect music to accompany that last panel.
O Fortuna sounds good too….I think.
Both fit very well, yes. There is an epic beat down building…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qqu_NBbhDY
Maybe I’m biased but…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liW-kWFiXtQ
I know its obvious “But don’t cry like a bongo when you feel the pain” just seems right
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oov99WwFPKo
It immediately sprang to mind, and the line “the days are just like moments turned to hours” fits with Willis’s pacing…
Yoko Kano was such a good composer for the screen…
My goodness, somebody else who knows the works of Britten. Truly this is a grand day.
Wow I can’t believe I mixed up the name.
Bad Blaine bad Blaine, what you gonna do, what you gonna do when she come for you?
I had to check Google Maps to see whether there’s a AAA next to a McDonalds in Bloomington. Check it out: https://www.google.com/maps/preview/place/AAA+Hoosier+Motor+Club/@39.18799,-86.534004,3a,65.6y,140.87h,84.63t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s-rYF_u_K3cW5u35zoQpSYg!2e0!4m5!1m2!2m1!1saaa+insurance!3m1!1s0x0:0xeebdce52e0df2fb2!6m1!1e1
woah… talk about scary accurate. o_o Well at least we know EXACTLY where this is going to go down.
This whole comic has been a constant barrage of Willis drawing scenes in actual places on the Indiana U Campus, I’m not sure why people are surprised that he’d draw this scene in an actual place.
Because now I know where I can take photos and re-enact this scene.
lol, the idea that a touristing spot could be a McDonald’s parking lot is hilarious.
Can you imagine people cosplaying this at AAA and McDonalds?
I would.
Stranger things happen. People turned a cornfield in Iowa into a tourist Mecca.
Sadly, this intersection is NW of where Amazi-Girl got on the truck, and it looks to me like she was east bound at the time. Too bad the truck wasn’t going in the other direction. I suppose that’s why there was a scene change.
Well, Blaine specified the location of the meeting without any knowledge about Amber’s transportation situation; she probably got off at the earliest opportunity and walked there.
Or car-surfed there.
So I take it Blaine paints his car windows maroon to make sure the bloodstains won’t show up.
Aw shit son.
BUAAAAAAAAM.
Something vengeful this way comes.
So, this is how it happens.
I predict Amber is going to get caught by police and unmasked as Amazi-Girl during whatever hapens with Blaine (and that’s until Feb 3rd at least according to tumblr). All the newspaper shots seem to indicate we’ll be getting a fallout from this event all through the next storyline.
Fingers crossed she doesn’t kill him.
Also: damn, Willis knows how to write an engaging storyline.
It’s interesting that Amber has her Amazi-Girl mask on in the April 14 panel. But she has on a light-blue shirt.
Amazing girl: “I’m here to kick ass and chew gum, and i’m all out of gum”
Blaine: “Dafu-” pumpeled to death-
Danny: “w-who are you?!?”
Amazing girl: “His worse nightmare” *flash of lightening and Amazing girl is gone*
Yup.. This is how I see this happening.
Nothing good ever happens across the street from a McDonalds.
My nearest McDonalds is across the street from an IHOP. I DISAGREE WITH YOUR PREMISE, SIR.
Good things always happen at IHOPs, so it cancels out. MY POINT STANDS.
Lots of peeps calling for blood up in here. But beating up her dad would be a rather significant loss for Amber, given her issues about violence and her dad. Just look at how bad she freaked out the last time she hit him.
Also, there are the legal consequences to consider, as well as Amazi-girl’s secret identity getting less and less secret.
Yeah, I hope she just winds up blowing him off and walking away. If Blaine tries to get physical, Danny just punches him. Character development for all.
That’s silly, Danny never gets character development.
Blaine having a black eye still counts as character development though, right? =P
Are there legal consequences in the Dumby-Verse? Has an IUPD cop ever been seen there?
No, but there have been references made to them. Ruth mentions to Billie that she (Ruth) has been putting off telling Amber that campus security had caught her dad trying to sneak into the residence hall overnight. Assuming a report was written — and under the CYA principle there undoubtedly was, although it probably wound up in the F&F folder — he does have that strike against him
This is the music that is/will be playing. You know it to be true.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZNk35OJERI
I think this music is appropriate here.
Do Donatello proud, Amber. Do Donatello proud.
Blaine: “Stand back Amber! Wouldn’t want ole’ Danny here to see what kind of SPAZ you are, do we?”
Amber: “Your social life requires the use of femurs to survive, mine does not. I will target your faaace, before tearing apart your femurs located below your shattered hip. And after every single bone in your pelvis is shattered, I will walk over your cold shriveled balls to recover my boyfriend. Now, shall we begin?”
Amber bumaye! Amber bumaye!
Don’t you mean, Amber Bomba Ye?
Even in her rage, she still went to the McDonald’s to get some streetpasses.
No it does not. It simply means that Blaine had the foresight to know that he will soon require a handicapped space.
Blaine, even though you’re the bad guy, I’m about to give you some very good advice.
Run.
AND cue the crunchy guitar riffs!
Will this do?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcpGIVbPYrI
Amazi-Girl/Metal Gear Rising crossover fanfiction must be made
Amazi-Girl Rising.
Blaine probably isn’t full of nanomachines..
Probably.
I think we have a winner for dramatic music entrance!
Would it be too much to ask for the next 10 strips to be uploaded tomorrow? I’ll paypal you 10¢!
Please let her break his knees!
Oh dear…
Where is her Amazi-umbrella?
I feel really weird about this taking place in front of a AAA office.
Yes, if anything bad happens, a truck will be there in three hours.
It’s Amazin time!
“And I will execute great vengeance upon them, with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am Amazi-Girl, when I lay my vengeance upon them.”
Amber 25:17
Kinda pretentious and repetetive. So yeah, you nailed the style of the source material dead on.
Whats the source material?
Pulp Fiction.
I got the idea from Pulp Fiction but I had to actually find the bible quote, as the PF version is Tarantino’s own thing essentially.
This book I had growing up that I quit believing in at some point. You might be familiar with it…
I don’t know what you are talking about
THE BIBLE.
Specifically, the book of Ezekiel. Chapter 25, verse 17.
Wow so you are saying that the bible is pretentious and repetetive? Repetitive sure, all lessons have to be repeated multiple times so really stick. I don’t know about pretentious.
Niagara Falls!!
Slowly I turned … step by step … inch by inch …
FINALLY! Danny is going to FINALLY realize what a dumbass he’s been.
…unless he Dans things up more by remembering that Amazi-girl is actually Sal.
Ahahaha.
Haha.
I doubt it.
I have to say that once I saw the last panel, the first 24 seconds or so of this

went through my mind.
I’m not the first one expecting this to lead to a “kissing in the rain” scene, am I? Presumably after Blaine’s had the stupid kicked out of him twice over and after Amber explains herself.
This will not end well unless:
A cop arrives and wonders what a drenched young woman in a costume is doing walking in the rain. No, the cops are inside Mcd’s eating donuts.
Some one goes thru the drive-thru and gets curious about the same.
Nah, no one in the city gets ‘curious’ about late night odd meetings.
Danny punches Blaine in the head when he realizes what a dumbass he has been and recognizes who Amber really is, saving the day. …uhhh no.
Likely: Blaine runs over Amber when he realizes she is going to kill him.
Yeah he only promised no one got hit by a TRUCK. Sedan’s are another thing entirely.
i dont think she’s pissed or anything
time for the pain
Something to think on. This is rain. The comic’s been going for roughly three and a half years? And it’s been going on for three weeks, in-universe. So… How long will Willis have to draw snow? How long will Christmas take? Winter break?
How the FUCK has this not been linked?

Dear people, click all the youtube links here at the same time. (Or like five if you’re not that into cacophony.) Then look into Amazigirl’s eyes.
FWIW, I think parking in the handicapped space IS something Danny would question.
Here is some nice music from Alexander Nevsky to set the mood.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oRbStmxvm4
Hell yeah Alexander Nevsky.
Amazi-Girl’s MO has always been to goad bad guys into attacking her, then kicking ass in “self defense” (which can include the defense of another). Not taking any bets as to whether she can maintain that self-control this time, but she’s had a nice long walk to plan her attack.
First, beckon Danny out of the car. If Blaine physically restrains him, she’s got a (flimsy) pretext to come to his aid. If only Danny initially emerges, tell him that Amber’s been dodging this stalker all weekend, and that he needs to run to safety (and coincidentally out of earshot). If Blaine won’t be baited into attacking her, she rejoins Danny and works off her stress in some other way. (Pity she recently dropped those condoms.)
If Blaine and Danny both emerge at the same time, loudly tell Blaine that he isn’t allowed in the dorms and tried to lure “somebody” away from safety. Tell him that “somebody” has answered his call, then tell Danny to run clear.
This is the best strategy I can think of. It won’t protect her secret identity if Blaine just mentioned that “She’s wearing that comic book stuff I saw in her closet.” Nor will it do so if Blaine notices that her desire to hide that identity is a weakness he can threaten. (Nor will it protect against the wandering cop scenario others pondered, above.)
Still, if she’s going to be revealed, she has a standing offer to control the message by granting an interview…
…and I think it would be hilarious if Danny and Amazi-Girl came pounding on Dorothy’s door right now.
Are there cops at IU in the Dumbyverse? Has anyone ever seen one?
Cops? What be those? We only have a Ruth, an Amazi-Girl and that woman who escorted Blaine out once, anything else would clearly be over the top when you factor in Amazi-Girl’s skills. -w-
Someone’s getting the short end of the stick.
By which I mean the end you hit people with.
Quick! Cue the dramatic intro music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q6skxRLnsI
I prefer O Fortuna, but this is fits too.
Anybody else hearing the Terminator’s there?
That should really be a Burger King, because Amber is about to have it her way.
“Her way” being beating Blaine within an inch of his life, that is.
I hope this ends badly. For everyone.
In Dumbing of Age, things always end up bad and all the characters (besides Danny) grow from it.
And then Danny upsets someone else in the process of not reflecting at all.
Huh, it’s third personality of Bruce Wayne.
Oh no she’s gone full Punisher. Call the alarm! Call the alarm!
Haymaker time! *bounces in glee*
YES.

Being more psycho than Blaine may not be such a good idea.
Don’t be silly, everyone knows insanity works like duct tape
It only fails when you don’t have enough
Yes, but can you lift a car with insanity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IMuZY5U3AM
Well, at least he’ll be able to justify that handicap space in a few minutes.
Kid, I act like a super villain and there’s a girl in a superhero outfit coming our way! Shit is about to go down!
Danny’s STILL not going to figure it out after this, isn’t he?
Amazi-girl obviously has misunderstood the situaton and is there because she thinks Blaine is a pedophile that has kidnapped Danny with the lure of peppermint candy sticks. She doesn’t realize that Blaine is actually the father of his good friend Amber, and that they’re staging a sort of intervention on her inappropriate behavior.
After this he runs off to warn Sal that Amber is running around dressed as Amazi-Girl.
That someone is me. I just came.
Did anyone else notice Amber’s face kind of looks like Jack Nichols’ face when he freezes to death in The Shining?
This reminds of me of a scene in Jurassic Park. The cars are stuck in the rain and the T-Rex is slowly approaching.
Death and devastation will follow.
Mr. W, can I call you that? Anyways, I don’t think you need to worry about being cartoonish in a cartoon. I like cartoons and all they represent.
Man. I actually HEARD the dramatic thunderclap that wasn’t actually directly implied by that last panel.
Welp, so much for the secret identity.
Who’s that pokemon?
My name is Sue! How do you do! Now you’re gonna die!
Pending patricide…..
In an ironic twist, Amazigirl’s face is just a hair’s breadth away from the default Ninja Turtle toy expression that SP! Amber despises so much.
I’m not sure if Amber’s into Pokemon in this verse, but the only thing I can imagine is this playing (at around thirty seconds) for that last panel. Though it may be prematurely triumphant for this moment.
Wow. Much excite. Very suspense. Many wait. So danger wow.
Double plus good Comrade!
…
Seriously meme’s are the end of humanity.
Where doing this!
Where memeing this happen!
I got that reference, comerade.double Plus funny. big brother would be plus pleased.
There is no Amber, there is only Amazi-Girrrrrrrrrllllll
*In the voice of Mojo Jojo* Curses!
Yeah, so her father is going to laugh at her, she’s going to get impotently angry, and Danny is going to sit there being useless like at the end of It’s Walky!
Not…. quite.
This is not what one would call a happy face.
I’m surprised no-one has thought to suggest this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wCAeTrEZkI
She should have sneaked upon them from behind. And snapped Blaine’s neck before he could freakin’ tell what was going on.
When I read this there was an ad for a combination Axe and brass knuckles. Coincidence? I think not.
Axe. Created for European males that don’t shower or bathe enough.
I now see that I misspelled ax.
And for sixth graders who think girls like it.
What! They don’t? Shit, I have been using it all these years for nothing. Was wondering why roving ganges of lingerie models weren’t chasing down my late middle aged ass all the time.
She came to kick ass and eat McNuggets. And she’s all out of McNuggets.
“But officer, I didn’t kill my father! You heard from the witness, my friend Danny, who was there; Amazigirl killed my father! Am I sad he’s dead? Not really, but I didn’t do it!”
Here’s hoping DoA goes all “The Dark Knight Returns” for the next 200 comics!
Would a squee be premature here?
And shit just got real, eh?
This is the realest that any shit has ever been. This is some veritable feces. All other shit is downright imaginary by comparison.
So I’m thinking Blaine will say something along the lines of “still dressing up like super hero” (or similar) thus being both a douche towards Amber and letting Danny know who she really is
He may not get the chance, she may knock his teeth down his throat first
I’d be ok with that as well
From her expression, I wouldn’t be surprised if she force feeds Blain the engine block.
Remember, Blaine has the upper-hand here. He is in a car.
He’ll need it.
The edge of her cape looks like an ass-whoopin’ stick.
Hey, Amber, you know who has an ass? Blaine and Danny both? Looks like you have an excellent opportunity to use that stick!
Okaaaay, we’re borderlining in Sin City-grittines right now
needs more whores
It’s wrong to hope Amber actually kills them both, Frank Miller style, isn’t it?
Also, I’d like to say that while Frank Miller has his faults–he gave us Robocop.
I shall remember him for Alex Murphy than…everything else.
I am on the EDGE OF MY SEAT waiting for the next comic
You should sit back. After all, you paid for the whole seat,
Watch as the next comic is about joyce and sarah
KAIJU!
Ohhhh my. If Amber was in the waste disposal service, right now she would be closed for business.
She ain’t taking no one’s shit right now.
Just saying, I really like how the “rain effect” in the last panel (I’m sorry that I’m not sure how to word it properly), especially how the rain falls on Amazi-Girl.
