I have to admit, I always kind of wondered about the first two people, who point up at the sky in astonishment, going, “Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird!”
Yes… yes, it is. And..?
“It’s a plane!”
–Says the guy who has apparently never actually seen a plane in the sky before in his life, his excitement almost surpassing that of the guy seeing his first bird ever.
When I was in college, I’d occasionally stop, point at the sky, and yell “Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird!” Haven’t done that in years, but then, haven’t been out and about with a bunch of geeks in years, either. Will have to try to remember to do it with my coworkers if I get the chance; they’d get it.
Some day I’m going to write a superman comic where Metropolis is attacked by a gigantic seagull or something, and the punchline will be the first guy going “I TOLD you it was a bird”
As a term of endearment for women, from the 1580s; as a word for cat (diminutive of “puss”) from 1726; slang for female genitalia dates to at least 1879 but was probably used at least occasionally earlier than that, possibly as early as its association with women (1580s).
Squirrel Girl is a nanny. Unless Tony Stark hires her to care for his illegitimate children, just whose spawn would she be watching? SG would fit a Fantastic 4 movie with the Richards children more. in fact, then we wouldn’t have to fear that hovering robot from the FF cartoon that was shaped like the baby from Eraserhead.
And then we wouldn’t have her to entertain us anymore!
Okay, maybe that’s a bad attitude to have towards mental illness. But come on, violence may not solve problems, but it distracts us from them by creating new problems, which has roughly the same effect.
They’ve seen each other a few times before that, but this is first time they speak directly to each other.
You can search for multiple character tags at once in Dumbing of Age by putting a “+” between names in the URL. (This doesn’t seem to work for Shortpacked, sadly)
But is she Squirrel Girl? If she was she’d defeat every damn supervillain and still not get her own movie.
… I will never stop being bitter about the non-existence of Squirrel Girl in the MCU. YES I KNOW IT WOULD BE SILLY LEAVE ME ALONE.
Ahem. I just have a lot of feelings about Squirrel-Girl.
No way man, Marvel’s actually pretty strong right now. Hawkeye of all people has a good title, She-Hulk’s new book looks pretty good, Silver Surfer just had a really fun 3-issue mini by Dan Slott and Mike Allred(!), Young Avengers just had a good run by the Phonogram team of Gillen & McKelvie…
Just stay away from the “core” Avengers titles, which are all infected with Epic Crossover bullshititis.
Marvel is doing great right now, and Id second all those comics you said. (although the best She Hulk is still Slotts). Id also add to it Waids run on DareDevil – really hope the tv show of takes cues from that.
The only disapointment for me has been Fantastic Four – Hickman set the bar too high there and no one is coming close. (either if Allred’s artwork on FF made it a joy)
However…the current crossover Original Sin has actually been pretty good. After a string of meh crossovers (Fear Itself) or downright bad and character destroying (XMen whatever) its quite a nice concept so far with no one acting too forced for the plot to work. Not reliant on tie-ins either, the concept lends itself to the “tie ins” really just being completely separate standalone storys rather then affecting the main plot in any way.
[/ comics!]
Squirrel Girl is going to be in an exclusive booster set, limited to 500 pieces only, containing Howard the Duck, Hit Monkey, Speedball’s pet cat Nils, Lockheed, Lockjaw and the Toad!
They will get to her.
I swear it. Marvels got big plans laid out for the next few decades they will go down their characters fitting them in as it becomes approporate.
I dought she will ever make a feature, but in some form she will appear.
I recon as a background character (read baby sitter for someone) with one “surprise” bad ass moment.
Still, first is She Hulk I think. Phase4 film, or (better) a TV Series – possibly with a DareDevil cameo first.
Actually, a friend of mine just turned 35, and is technically a cougar since her fiancee turns 27 in November. The did the research and technically, since cougar has *mostly* lost it’s previously negative notation, the only hard and fast rule for a cougar is a woman who hooks up with a man at least 8 years younger than herself. Since Amber is a freshman in college, we can assume 18years old for herself and her cougar/jail bait would be 10. EEWWW
I love this page so much. The composition is great: At first, you see from above how Amazi-Girl is seeing Dorothy, then you see the moment of recognition. Panel 3, intimidating shadow (so far, everything is sinister and ominous); then in Panel 4 you get a sort of goofy shrug and talk about cats. Excellent use of tension and release, as well as characters being character, AND advancing the plot significantly. Firing on all four cylinders, here, Willis.
You almost never see commenters actually offering useful and substantive input on the artistry of this webcomic for some reason (this might be the goofiest commentariat known to humankind), so I appreciate your thoughts, historyman68.
Omg, she makes an appearance as I finish up a few last cosplay details for anime expo. won’t have the puches but meh, i’ll add them in after i get more craft foam.
Was home sick yesterday and saw (more than watched) part of Catwoman. Halle Berry rules, but Catwoman kinda scurries. More like Gollum than a cat. Weird, spooky and some kind of uncanny valley thing.
It’s a dorm, there’s pretty much only one entrance. If AG’s looking for Dorothy, and concludes that she’s not in the building, you can pretty much just camp the front door until she shows up. It’s a matter of patience.
So, if Billie still thinks Amazi-girl is Sal, and Dorothy knows who Amazi-girl really is but swears never to reveal her secret, and both work on the Newspaper, and their editor was a story, does Dorothy allow Billie to write the wrong thing or does she rat Amazi-girl out?
I think the newspaper editor would look at Sal’s picture and state that Amazi-girl and Sal look nothing alike. Dorothy might end up saying something along the lines of “I look more like Amazi-girl than Sal does.”
At which point Billie will come up with the theory that Dorothy is Amazi-girl.
Obviously, nobody is going to figure out who Amazi-girl is until Sal catches Billie and Ruth making out. And, even then, nobody’s going to believe any of that.
Maybe this is just because I now live, and went to college in, the middle of a major urban area, but… Jeese, Dorothy, consider walking with someone when you take the “abandoned courtyards at night” path.
the thing about white liberal Americans is that they'll argue to accept bigots into their tent before accepting the bigots' targets.

Aww. Nice turn of events.
I’m a bird.
I’m kinda plain.
I’m leaking cerebrospinal fluid & red stuff.
I’m a plane.
I transform into a truck!
I’m Batman.
I’m….. what am I again?
I’ve been secretly replaced with Folger’s Crystals!
Dang, you noticed.
HAHAHA^
I’m not your supervisor.
You’re not the boss of me!
The GODDAMN Batman.
I’m more than a bird, I’m more than a plane: I’m a birdplane.
I have to admit, I always kind of wondered about the first two people, who point up at the sky in astonishment, going, “Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird!”
Yes… yes, it is. And..?
“It’s a plane!”
–Says the guy who has apparently never actually seen a plane in the sky before in his life, his excitement almost surpassing that of the guy seeing his first bird ever.
When I was in college, I’d occasionally stop, point at the sky, and yell “Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird!” Haven’t done that in years, but then, haven’t been out and about with a bunch of geeks in years, either. Will have to try to remember to do it with my coworkers if I get the chance; they’d get it.
“It’s a bird!”
“It’s a plane!”
“It’s a frog!!”
Not bird, nor plane, nor even frog.
Just little old me: Underdog.
“Just Little Old Me, Sucking Marlon Brando’s Hog.”
It’s a birdplane!
It’s a politician!
I dunno Kryss, Superman sort of looks like the big blue emu from Untalkative Bunny. Maybe they mean that kind of bird.
You’ve got it wrong, I’m afraid.
First guy just goes “Look! Up in the sky!”
“It’s a bird” is a REPLY to that, as is “It’s a plane.” You can take both of those as dismissive.
Wow, that makes LOADS more sense. XD Can’t believe I never took it like that!
Some day I’m going to write a superman comic where Metropolis is attacked by a gigantic seagull or something, and the punchline will be the first guy going “I TOLD you it was a bird”
Then he gets eaten first.
Sherman’s Lagoon actually did that joke once.
AWESOME!!! I’m some sort of reverse prophet or something. And thank you for finding it.
AmaziSquirrel! She’s nuts!
“Though my pussy’s FANTASTIC”
^*in Miss Slocombe’s voice*
In case you didn’t know to whom I was refering to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unmkX15AeN8
…She was talking about a cat, right? RIGHT?! Say yes, damn it!
Of cause she was, it was the 70s after all.
“What on earth is wrong with you, Dr Asquith? This is a bawdy 1970s hospital. Please stick to using innuendo.”
What?? There’s no way that bad word wasn’t born much earlier than the 70’s, or else why would the audience laugh so hard?
The concept of pussy meaning both cat and vagina has been around for a couple of centuries.
As a term of endearment for women, from the 1580s; as a word for cat (diminutive of “puss”) from 1726; slang for female genitalia dates to at least 1879 but was probably used at least occasionally earlier than that, possibly as early as its association with women (1580s).
And, oddly from our modern perspective, the term “cock” as a reference to genitalia was originally meant for the feminine version.
Ah, Miss Slocombe. Classic Are You Being Served never gets old (and believe me PBS tried it’s best to make it feel that way with repeats for YEARS).
But the big question is this: who’s Mr. Humphries??
“I’m free!”
I would say Ethan but he’s no where near as free as Mr Humphries was.
Next slipshine?
Amazi-Girl and Dorothy do Journalism.
A full page spread you might say.
“Gosh, Amazi-Girl, I’ll do anything for an exclusive interview…”
*insert newspaper innuendo here*
I would never insert anything in my endo. >:)
Are we sure she’s not? You never know. She does wear a mask.
She’s clearly not, Sal isn’t a Cat after all.
She’s not?
But, she’s leaving through the window! On purpose!
That’s her animal side kick, Amazi-cat.
A shape shifting Cat sidekick would explain why sSal can be in two places at once.
Schrondinger’s Sal. As long as we don’t know where Sal is, an in potential might appear ANYWHERE.
That should have ended, an Sal in potential might appear ANYWHERE.
Scurry, sniff,
FLINCH.
TREE!
Yeah, but your behavior in the past is likened to how a cat would interact with someone it doesn’t trust.
Dorothy didn’t reveal her identity as Amazi-Squirrel though, so now Amazi-Catquirrel trusts her, right?
-takes off mask-
“actually, I’m a blue-footed booby! I had everyone fooled!”
You’re pushing it, I think.. You’re one step from writing a Chicken Boo crossover fanfic.. Which would be awesome..
And thus, Amazi-girl invites Dorothy to become her sidekick, Amazi-lass!
Amazi-lassie the wonder dog?
I thought Lassie already had superpowers.
What’s wrong Amazi-Lass, did Walky fall down the well again?
Walky? No. Danny? Yes.
I think we’d know if she were a tree rat.
Interview time!
Yeah! Looks like AG’s making good on their deal.
Okay, my mind has presented me with an irresistible image.
This with Amazi-Girl as the cat and Dorothy as Sakaki.
Tell me that isn’t a wonderful thought.
Honestly, I’d loved to see fan art of Sal as Sakaki getting bitten by the Amazi-cat. Something about it just seems perfect.
With Riley as Chiyo-chan.
If Riley’s Chiyo though, who’s Joyce?
I suppose if Sal were Sakaki then Joyce could be Kaorin…
With Mike as Mr Kimura.
And from that logic, Billie would be Kagura.
With Billie’s drinking, I see her as more like Yukari-chan.
And that also implies something about Billie’s driving … and not in a good way.
Well Billie already has at least one DUI. Canon. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/not-directly/
I would think Tomo. With Ruth as Yomi.
But even without the latter, she’s basically perfect for the job (Except she has some athletic ability, unlike Tomo)
And Dina as Osaka.
One thing is certain: Mr. Kimura is definitely Faz.
Yup
Amazi-Kamineko then.
Yes, yes, please yes.
I always thought Robin was Tomo-chan, at least in the alternate universe.
Squirrel Girl vs. Amazi-Girl—who would win?!
(Answer: Squirrel Girl, obviously.)
Obvviously. Poor Amber doesn’t stand a chance.
Neither did Thanos.
If Squirrel Girl shows up in the Avengers 2, then we might as well pack up the human race because we will never achieve anything better.
I’d settle for her getting a nod, like a girl with Doreen who reads Silver Age comics and insists on wearing long skirts like she’s hiding something.
A girl NAMED Doreen, I meant.
Yeah she’s like, in a park somewhere, nannying some kids and reading some comics and then Iron Man flies by or something. Totally into it
Squirrel Girl is a nanny. Unless Tony Stark hires her to care for his illegitimate children, just whose spawn would she be watching? SG would fit a Fantastic 4 movie with the Richards children more. in fact, then we wouldn’t have to fear that hovering robot from the FF cartoon that was shaped like the baby from Eraserhead.
In the comics there was one of those hovering robots around WITH THE AI OF A DOOMBOT.
Now that was a bad combination.
I’m putting my vote on the one that humiliated Dr. Doom once
And MODOK, don’t forget.
Thanos is the best one imho, because the Watcher comes down to confirm it;
http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4jc7deS3R1r65ftxo1_1280.png
I freaking love Slott as a writer – I REALLY recommend Great Lake Avengers for more of this madness.
Did you check out Slott’s latest Silver Surfer mini with Mike Allred? Great stuff!
Oops, n/m I see below that you did
… Dorothy, I suggest you take this moment to play Lois Lane, promise not to reveal her secret identity…
And ask her why she became a superhero and if she doesn’t think therapy might also be a useful option here.
But if she went to therapy then she might stop using violence to solve her problems!
…oh, I see. Good idea!
And then we wouldn’t have her to entertain us anymore!
Okay, maybe that’s a bad attitude to have towards mental illness. But come on, violence may not solve problems, but it distracts us from them by creating new problems, which has roughly the same effect.
I hope you are right. I think Dorothy of all people might have a real chance of getting through to the Amber under the mask.
“Is this the part where you fly me through the sky?”
Only after she uses her Xray vision to make sure she doesn’t have lung cancer.
…right…that’s what she’ll be lookin’ for.
This is Amber we’re talking about, not Daisy.
Which we all know is a very tedious process. It may take a few minutes… you may want to sit down…
I’m just imagining Dorothy doing the (to me) really weird internal monologue Lois Lane has in the Superman movie when he takes her for a fly.
They’ll do the scene from “Batman (1989)” where Batman asks Vicki Vale how much she weighs.
“Can you read my mind?”
“Can we do the upside down kissing now? …please?”
Stop cockblocking Dorothy, Amber.
Hey, the first time they met she sorta did the opposite.
I mean, she actually provided the prophylactic. That’s about as far from cockblocking as one can get.
Amber and Walky have never actually interacted, have they?
I’m curious how such a meeting would turn out.
Assuming the chase scene with the Amazi-Girl persona doesn’t count…
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/02-guess-whos-coming-to-galassos/meet/

Obviously Walky would mistake Amber for Dorothy and try to have sex with her, and then Amber would beat Walky up.
Yes, a thousand times yes.
I’m not even shipping or anything, I just think this can only be good for Amber, and to a lesser degree Dorothy
But is she Squirrel Girl? If she was she’d defeat every damn supervillain and still not get her own movie.
… I will never stop being bitter about the non-existence of Squirrel Girl in the MCU. YES I KNOW IT WOULD BE SILLY LEAVE ME ALONE.

Continue being enraged. Squirrel Girl was left out of the new Avengers vs X-Men collectible dice game as well.
The only 2 Marvel heroes worth a damn anymore are Squirrel Girl and Howard the Duck.
And Doop. Can’t forget Doop!
No way man, Marvel’s actually pretty strong right now. Hawkeye of all people has a good title, She-Hulk’s new book looks pretty good, Silver Surfer just had a really fun 3-issue mini by Dan Slott and Mike Allred(!), Young Avengers just had a good run by the Phonogram team of Gillen & McKelvie…

Because, any reasonable depiction of Squirrel Girl would break the game.
That’s because she would totally throw off the balance.
Squirrel Girl is going to be in an exclusive booster set, limited to 500 pieces only, containing Howard the Duck, Hit Monkey, Speedball’s pet cat Nils, Lockheed, Lockjaw and the Toad!
They will get to her.
I swear it. Marvels got big plans laid out for the next few decades they will go down their characters fitting them in as it becomes approporate.
I dought she will ever make a feature, but in some form she will appear.
I recon as a background character (read baby sitter for someone) with one “surprise” bad ass moment.
Still, first is She Hulk I think. Phase4 film, or (better) a TV Series – possibly with a DareDevil cameo first.
‘or some other easily spooked animal’
I am so friend shipping these two.
…I just imagine that being stated in Christian Bale’s Batman voice.
Trust me, it’s hilarious.
I agree with Batman!
More like a tiger.
More like a cougar.
She’s about 20 years too young to be a couger.
My count was 10…
Is there an age limit on being a cougar?
I’d say 40+
I believe cougers are 40-49 years old.
Actually, a friend of mine just turned 35, and is technically a cougar since her fiancee turns 27 in November. The did the research and technically, since cougar has *mostly* lost it’s previously negative notation, the only hard and fast rule for a cougar is a woman who hooks up with a man at least 8 years younger than herself. Since Amber is a freshman in college, we can assume 18years old for herself and her cougar/jail bait would be 10. EEWWW
In my day they just called them cradle-robbers.
I think most of the time cougars are just called milfs, at least among my generation
I love this page so much. The composition is great: At first, you see from above how Amazi-Girl is seeing Dorothy, then you see the moment of recognition.

The first 2 panels imply AG’s visual perspective too, so there is a sense of what AG might feel from her vantage point.
You almost never see commenters actually offering useful and substantive input on the artistry of this webcomic for some reason (this might be the goofiest commentariat known to humankind), so I appreciate your thoughts, historyman68.
Dorothy can be her Gordon and they both go in halfsies on an Amazi-signal!
I don’t think either of them could afford an Amazi-signal. College is expensive.
Ohhhhh. This is going to be good!
Is it just me or does anybody else want to see a cat dressed up in Amazi-girl costume? :3
And a squirrel in a cat costume.
This story arc is happening just as the Sailor Moon reboot is about to come out. I want to see Walky in a Tuxedo on one of the rooftops.
Danny as Sailor Mars?
But Mars is the cool one.
Yes, my daughter is so excited about this. Note, she is 23.
I’m surprised, marginally; it wasn’t that big in her childhood, is it? X3
Ugh. If I could draw a whit, I’d totally put together a picture of Grace from EGS cosplaying as Amazi-Squirrel.
Very nice shadow, an ominous feeling, good suspense, and comic relief. Artwork is just plain good.
I like this. Glad Amazi-girl came decided to talk to her.
Omg, she makes an appearance as I finish up a few last cosplay details for anime expo. won’t have the puches but meh, i’ll add them in after i get more craft foam.
Squirrel Girl!
Thought that would be Grace (EGS) or Scarlet (Sequential Art).
Was home sick yesterday and saw (more than watched) part of Catwoman. Halle Berry rules, but Catwoman kinda scurries. More like Gollum than a cat. Weird, spooky and some kind of uncanny valley thing.
That movie makes me so sad… halle berry kicks ass, but the movie overall sucks, and it could have been so frickin awesome!
“…But not for lack of trying. Do YOU see a Super Bell anywhere around here?”
The president and the vigilante. We meet again.
Lesbians. Just make everyone lesbians.
Just make EVERYONE lesbians.
EVERYONE.
A very good question: HOW DID SHE KNOW WHERE DOROTHY WAS?
It’s a dorm, there’s pretty much only one entrance. If AG’s looking for Dorothy, and concludes that she’s not in the building, you can pretty much just camp the front door until she shows up. It’s a matter of patience.
This is just her usual evening standing-looking-dramatic routine.
So, if Billie still thinks Amazi-girl is Sal, and Dorothy knows who Amazi-girl really is but swears never to reveal her secret, and both work on the Newspaper, and their editor was a story, does Dorothy allow Billie to write the wrong thing or does she rat Amazi-girl out?
Same Bat -Time; Same Bat-Channel.
Correction: Same Amazi-time, same Amazi-website!
I think the newspaper editor would look at Sal’s picture and state that Amazi-girl and Sal look nothing alike. Dorothy might end up saying something along the lines of “I look more like Amazi-girl than Sal does.”
At which point Billie will come up with the theory that Dorothy is Amazi-girl.
I think the editor would get sidetracked by the lack of chest windows, and that would be the main focus of the story.
Obviously, nobody is going to figure out who Amazi-girl is until Sal catches Billie and Ruth making out. And, even then, nobody’s going to believe any of that.
“Can… can I touch you?”
“I’m not a dog either.”
anyone else think that the new panel from tomorrow’s strip would make a cool poster w/a slight angle adjustment?
Maybe this is just because I now live, and went to college in, the middle of a major urban area, but… Jeese, Dorothy, consider walking with someone when you take the “abandoned courtyards at night” path.

Nice.
