Good job breaking it, Mike.
Ah Mike….he’s just too kinky to torture.
dammit, am I the only one here who actually HATES Mike?
Yep though not to the extent that Mike can get away with I used to fuk with my friends like that too
Well, I don’t HATE him either, but I dislike him. He’s probably my least favorite of the often occurring characters.
No, I hate Mike, too. I don’t quite get why anyone likes him in the slightest.
What he’s doing here is also a form of sexual harassment, i.e. making sexualized comments in order to make someone extremely uncomfortable, etc.
And before anyone comes at me with “she attacked him,” sexual harassment is not an acceptable response, sorry. Altho frankly I don’t really agree with her constantly literally illegally assaulting people, but I get the feeling that the comic’s narrative is at least somewhat critical of that aspect.
In what way is it harrassement if he stops when she communicates her dislike?
The only way anyone could hate Mike is if they didn’t read Shortpaked! hard enough.
If only this worked on real police.
Well, Have you ever tried it? I know at least one officer it would work on….
Why does your Handle Link to Porn? Why is it Only Porn of Ranma 1/2? What does Ranma Porn have to do with Horny Mike? Why am I Asking All of these Questions? What have you Done to me R-b-rt?!
Still ship it.
Any ship is salvageable in this world. . .
But there are some ships that really needs to stay at the bottom of the ocean.
Excuse me, CLEARLY the word you’re looking for is submarine.
No..I really meant it.
Unfortunately, I’ve been on a few of those ships. :/ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v373/cliodhnaglen/GoDownWithShip_zps6d1a95a0.gif
All you need is enough ping-pong balls.

Almost as many ping pong as these….

(Action is at 57 seconds, btw)
I’m Shipping Ruth with whoever will Make her Happy, Doesn’t Matter to me who it is, just Hoping she Doesn’t Die(again).
Yup. This really doesn’t do anything to discourage the ship. Rather the opposite, actually. That is the most adorable Mike has been in…
…
… ever? I’m gonna go with most adorable ever in the Dumbverse. There are a couple scenes in Shortpacked that have it beat, not many.
YEAP. dat face tho
Is “pursuing leads” anything like “journalism”?
or “roller derby”?
Roller skates totally need to be Amazi-girl’s primary mode of transportation.
Easiest way to find out is to use the “with my penis” test.
Ah the infamous Too Kinky To Torture trope.
That’s why “The Masochist” is the Girls with Slingshot’s greatest Villain.
Wait…there’s finally a masochist villain? What took them so long?
Just as he was getting going, Rorschach threw him down an elevator shaft.
Wait…seriously?
It’s been a while since I read the Watchmen, but it sounds about right.
Yeah, seriously. I can’t remember the villain’s name, but he was a weirdo who always wanted to be punished by the superheros. Nite Owl just told him to buzz off, then he tried that on Rorschach, and he tossed the guy down an elevator shaft.
Captain Carnage
Considering Mike’s sexual escapades with various mothers, this doesn’t come to much of a surprise. . .
Sound like flat back hairbrushes were involved…
Mike…you’re starting to creep me out…or is this one of Mike’s mind games?
Does Mike have any idea that Amber is Amazi-Girl?
Maybe he knows…you can’t tell with Mike.
In true Mike fashion, it’s whatever you don’t want him to, baby.
He has quantum knowledge.
I always assumed his Alien power was that he was the personification of the internet. It’s how he always knew the things you didn’t want others to know, was impossibly tough (after all, who gets hurt when they fight on the internet?) and has photos of your mom.
In Ethan’s case, knowing her before college was enough. For Mike, I’d assume the same. He may not have spent as much time with her, but he’s very good at picking up on things.
You gotta remember that Mike’s a strong advocate of “Tough Love”.
Probably both. He’s likely being honest, but only because it’s weirding her out.
honestly I thought this was his power.
always knowing what people don’t want him to know so he can cause the most annoyance.
i mean hell it worked with a psycho brainwashed guy in Its Walky!
Get out of there fast, use a smoke grenade if you have any.
Or a flashbang.
Hell, a regular grenade will do nicely.
Barry Allen truly is faster than a speeding bullet.
I prefer Wally West.
Mike wants a flash AND a bang.
That interrogation almost became an interrobang. *wink nudge*
Willis, you flippin’ tease.
Damnit Amazi-girl. You’re the kind of person that’d get a man all riled up and don’t even have the common curtesy to give him a reach around!
(Movie Reference. Kinda!)
Hell, I like you. Maybe you can come over to my house .
I don’t want to presume what you were censored from quoting, of course. However, I suspect that were Amazi-girl to take you up on your offer, she should bring a supply of nickles.
(Or do sisters follow a different pricing scheme than moms?)
Full Metal Jacket, I assume.
Seriously…Mike is acting like the Joker…wait.
Then who’s harley quinn?
The Fez
Faz* goddamnit
Actually, ‘The Fez’ is Faz’s supervillian identity.
Nooooo Fezes are cool. Don’t destroy Fezes, Faz
If Faz with a Fez makes ‘The Fez’, then what does Faz’s Fez think about ‘The Fez’ being Faz?
That they’ve got nothing on The Fonz.
The funny thing is we’ll never know how serious he is about this.
Again, he could be just doing this to mess with Amazi-Girl.
You know, I’m starting to think there’s a bit of an overreaction going around.
Yea. It makes sense that Joyce would overreact like she did, but why is Amber…er…I mean Amazi-girl going so far just because of a bunch of inappropriate drawings?
She’s fighting the patriarchal system – as perpetuated by her own hated patriarch.
Because she’s the hero her dorm needs, not the one they deserve.
WILLIS? Can we get this phrase blocked too? It appears every Amazi-Girl strip and wasn’t funny to begin with.
Because a superhero needs to do superheroing, otherwise she would just be Amber in a costume. She DID lament the lack of higher quality supervillains, but this is what she has to work with.
I find that if you dress in a costume to fight crime, a wide variety of supervillains show up to stop you.
Some wear white coats, others dress in black and wear caps and have badges. Both try to lock you away. It escalated from there.
Come on. Pretty please? I’ll even put the gag on myself. I’ll tie my legs, just finish the job!
I have some candles on the cabinet, and there’s a whip in the closet, just do what feels right!
I even got Blaine to come! Com’oon!
Heh, “I have some rope.” Classic.
It’s like Mike knows that in another universe they’re having some ridiculously kinky sex right now.
Mike secretly constructed a viewer that allows him to see the alternate universes.
He uses this information to be a better asshole
Yes…and then he will be the Superior Asshole.
Mike is Walter Bishop?
That would explain a whole hell of a lot.
I…am genuinely confused if Mike is really into this or he’s just being a dick.
…
*slaps self on forehead*. Oh well, DOY, of course!
He’s being BOTH.
His Dick is into this but his brain is into being a dick.
He wants his dick into SOMETHING…
Likely your mom, I heard nickels when he hit the ground last time.
Screwing with Amazi-Girl’s head is so turning him on right now.
“I’m whatever you don’t want me to be, baby!”
Trying to figure out if Mike could be any more sexually attractive. I don’t think it’s possible.
Amazi-girl leaves, he’s too damn willing.
Mike gets what he wants, per usual.
I ship this so hard. Can we please have Mike and Amber be a thing in this universe, please?
OK..that rules out Mike…right?
Not so much. You’ll notice that he said *someone* outdid themselves. He didn’t actually deny it was him that outdid himself. So to this point he hasn’t denied anything. He’s just asked questions that might be intentionally misleading.
it’s billy.
Sorry, Mike, Amazi-Girl has other random people to assault.
Kinky submissive Mike. Be still my heart!!
Oh, he REALLY wants to get under her cape, doesn’t he?
It’s the utility belt. Guys dig the utility belt.
Not me. I dig ladies who can kick ass.
I dig all ladies, not just the ones who kick ass. How else will they get out from underground.
If Mike isn’t the culprit I think it might have been Joe
Or Roz?
Then again… I think she would draw vaginas instead.
Can’t be Roz. The whiteboard dongs don’t have condoms on.
can’t tell if he’s being serious or if he’s just trying to get her off his case.
I’m a reasonable man. Get off my case. Get off my case.
Knowing Mike, he will always do what allows him to be the biggest jerk to somebody. So he likely IS being serious that it is a turn on, because he KNOWS it will squick out Amber/Amazi-girl, and thus fulfil max jerkiness at this time, but will also steer her to investigate other leads.
In this universe, he uses his jerk side both to be cruel, and to help people at the same time.
In this universe, he uses his jerk side both to be cruel, and to help people at the same time.
Which instantly reminded me of this…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D80NLUcixPg
dammit, I just spend 2 hours watching random kid in the hall sketches because of you.
Also that is the best face for that.
Squee! Mike in Shibari! If I had more time, I would do fanart of this.
well it was good while it lasted XD
AG now just seems ridiculous to me. The awesomeness and the horror are both fading away. Eventually the costume may be relegated to Halloween and the occasional sexy cosplay…but with whom?
Hey, that’s what they say about Batman….and then the Bronze Age hit.
I can’t imagine THIS Mike ending up with Amber, mainly because in this universe they have a history. Howeverm I can imagine Mike secretly lusting after Amazi-girl until he finds out it’s Amber.
I’ve seen the face in that first panel. It’s in porn.
And now Amber learns things about her best friend she didn’t necessarily want to know. Also, herself. :3
Third best friend now I guess. Man, she does not have many friends, does she.
That puts her at the top of the heap as far as DoA is concerned. I really think only Joyce could be said to have more.
Maybe she should take a shower before she investigates. Ewwww…
Masochism at its finest.
Actually, tie him up and leave him for the police like he wants. Mike has does something to deserve it, even if he is not the Whiteboard Ding-dong Bandit.
Yeah…like sleeping with the commissioner’s wife to settle a bet with his son.
But then, this:
http://wondermark.com/178/
What month is it in the strip? How many weeks into the term are we?
Like a month-ish in? I’d have to do a bit of digging to get more specific.
We’re 25 days in.
And we’re still only in September. Oh dear, imagine when we get up to late october (DoA 2020: The year of Halloween) or even December
Mike: Ever classy
Hahahahaha Mike
I’m not sure how I feel about last panel Mike. His second line is almost… too open for him? Maybe it’s just the more relaxed look on his face compared to the other panels.
Wow, I’ve never seen Mike laugh before!
Wait ’til you see him drunk.
sooooo… BDSM?
Ye, BDSM.
I’m pretty sure he knows it’s Amber considering they went to high school together and he knows her prom secrets. I feel like this is to embarrass Amber with a truth-grain in there.
Well, I’m turned on, now.
Mike’s making me question my sexuality D<
I ship this so much. Any dysfunctional Mike relationship really. So all of them.
Why couldn’t have found a guy like Mike in college during my casual sex phase?! Damn, that sounds like it’d be a lot more fun than the plain vanilla I got stuck with.
So, Mike’s kinky. Who knew?
Or Mike can pretend a good kinky if it will annoy other people. Which is a form of kinky, but one we knew.
Wouldnt it be great if this lead to mike falling in love with amber/amazi girl and follows her around?
Also, ive never seen so many “i ship this” comments in the comment section before
Well, it is cannon in the other universe. I don’t know if it’ll carry over or if it is leading up to a new ‘Damn you Willis’ moment, but I still love it.
This made me smile and wrinkle my forehead in concern at the same time.
Amazi-Girl is mostly disgusted because she’s been out-masochised, having thought that she’d won the trophy back when she begged Sal to hurt her the other night.
AG goes back to Clark and someone who reads the DOA comments section has erased all the evidence. The ding dong episode is all about AG coming to some realizations.
Well, Amber, you wanted an archnemesis. Now you’ve got your own Catwoman!
Catboy?
Catman?
I believe Drew is Catman though.
Mike can be the Joker, except less smiley.
He’s like, the polar opposite of the Joker. So…Snarkman? The Dick? THe….hn. I can’t think of a word that is the opposite of ‘joke’.
K-K-K-K-K-Catman Drew!
Perfect.
I love that promo of Amazi-Girl, and Batgirl together; please make a poster of it. Not only that, but my view of superheroes is highly influenced by Garth Ennis, so that is something of me to like that image you have up there http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=8223
“but my view of superheroes is highly influenced by Garth Ennis”
Oh man, I’m sorry.
And here is a full free issue http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=13739
I admit, it’s going to take a while for me to get the images on page 7 — and the concept behind them — out of my mind.
And I do also wonder why there is what appears to be a doorknob on a brick wall (p.7, first panel, far right-hand side)?
I can’t believe that people here in the comments section are concluding that Mike didn’t do it on the basis of Mike asking questions and saying that someone outdid themselves.
Mike may not have done it, but Mike is also the master of misleading. If he had said he didn’t do it, I would believe him, but he never said anything of the kind.
I agree, I sorta got the feeling that he was inferring that it wasn’t him without saying it wasn’t him because it was him. A double bluff.
So we all knew that Mike would be the first suspect because it’s obvious, that it wouldn’t turn out to be him right away because it’s obvious, but I’m not sure how many of us saw the kink angle. Is he just being an asshole to make Amber uncomfortable, or are we seeing something of his inner life??
Now he is going to become Amazi-girl’s arch nemesis just to have her push him around the way he wants. Which will cause yet another wave of doubt and insecurity in Amber due to the whole Danny thing. Though I have a feeling Mike knows her dual life and just wouldn’t say anything so as to mess with Amber/Amazi-girl.
it shouldn’t be surprising that mike is into bondage and whatnot but yeah, it kind of is
I always took him for more a sadistic type but it does kind of fit.
Explains a lot about the Mike/Amber ship, though.
I’d take a shower first Amber – after that, I’d be worried about where he’s been.
Someone on the Walky wiki mentioned that Mike gets off to people being assholes. So the whole bdsm thing is basically an extreme version of that.
So it’s canon now that Mike is a sub?
Mike is whatever you don’t want him to be.
Mike remains a fave. I don’t ship ’em – if only because I’m highly curious to see how Mike would fare dating anyone else who he hasn’t previously been paired with.
Hmmm. Joyce/Mike for the funny!
Which one of them would break first? I figure that if they had to be together, Joyce would snap from forced exposure to the *ahem* sketchier bits of life, and Mike would eventually just surrender completely to Drunk Mike out of fear for his neurons.
Who knows? It’d be interesting to watch, either way.
Does Mike know Amazi-Girl is Amber? Because knowing that he is saying that to his friend would take this to another level.
Mike, please
I say that Joyce is drawing them as she sleep walks. All that repression has to be unleashed somehow.
