        I’m betting it’s an Amber from a parallel universe, who may or may not be Shortpackeds. Alternatively, it’s Amber Mom via some wierd kind of time travel thing.

        There’s no WAY DoA Amber would stop playing WOW for this kind of foolishness.

          It’s amber and mike’s daughter from the walky/shortverse. She got shot back in time across dimensions and now she has to fight college tyranny to get back home…

          Wow, that sounds almost like the premise for half the sci-fi flicks in the 80s.

      You didn’t sound like you were. Humans are inherently heavy. Even if you go skinny enough to be dramatically unhealthy, with an already light bone structure, that’s like sixty pounds. The average human is likely at around a hundred fifty, and you can be heavier than that without being fat.

      Amazigirl is carrying her in a position that doesn’t handle the weight well at all. With the poorly placed center of gravity and the additional weight provided the reverse leverage (or whatever the proper term is for that. A book is heavier when carried from the other end of a two by four), that’s likely two hundred fifty pounds or so being lifted by her torso muscles (Heavy amounts of guestimation involved in every step of this process).

      In addition to this she’s running while carrying all this weight and doesn’t seem to be straining herself. That’s a feat of strength and athleticism if ever I’ve seen one.

        She was able to kick a bunch of jocks in the face and escape on roof-top Batman-style, so clearly Amazi-Girl is either an amazing athlete or has actual super powers.

          I find it even more incredible that she managed to pick up and carry Billie for several seconds before Billie (or Ruth, even) even noticed her.

            yeah… at that point we’re either talking super speed, invisibility, or some form of illusion magic. I think I’ll just chalk that up to batman style dramatic appearances/disappearances.

            To date my favorite was an episode of btas where the criminal gets in the getaway vehicle and as their driving away batman slowly rises from the back seat. The only possible way he could have been there is if he’d been waiting since before they drove off to rob the bank.

        Considering women’s center of gravity is right around the middle, not the shoulders, that is ONE amazing feat right there.

      Billie apparently graduated high school as a star cheer leader (or so were lead to think) So its no issue that she’s probably quite light.

      • Viktoria

        March 12, 2011 at 4:31 am | #

        “Quite Light” for a human is still 100+lbs. Cheerleaders aren’t ballet dancers, they actually plan to be able to walk at age 30. That requires eating food. And Billie apparently has built up her upper body, too. That combined with her basic body style suggests ~150lbs to me. That’s not fat(I’m scrawney and weigh that much), but people are heavy.

        Try this. Go to the store. Pick up a 40 lb bag of dog food. Put it on your shoulders. Now try to run. A ballet dancer is 2 of those. An athletic but small girl is 3. Billie is probably between 3 and 4.

      She probably said “brb bio”, setting off a chain reaction of people taking off a minute or more after the last “brb”. I’d say that she has twice as many minutes as her raid has members. Especially since every person leaving seems to increase the chance of another group member’s dog catching fire.

      The sheer fact that Amazi-Girl can pick Billie up and run in such an awkward pose AND keep Billie balanced already says enough.

      But in short, yes. Ruth cannot match Amazi-Girl’s speed. Ever.

      Plus, I think Ruth is far too stunned to bother chasing. She’s going to stand there for a good few minutes now and then realize “Wait, Billie’s gone.”

      Why would Ruth give chase? She was asking “are you sure you want to go down this road?” rather than promptly fighting back – she’d rather maintain unchallenged power than fight. And at the moment, Billie’s stopped challenging her.

      Yes, its Amazigirl! Strange visitor from probably the same planet who came to the dorm with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal criticism. Amazigirl! Who can change the course of completely onesided fistfights, lift cheerleaders with her bare hands, and who disguised as Amber, nerdy shut in for a nameless university, fights a never ending battle for TRUTH! JUSTICE! and saving the reckless freshman’s femurs from the hands of a vindictive RA.

      If it helps you at all, Billie would have developed a very good, very automatic sense of balance as a cheerleader (especially if she’s one who gets tossed up in the air from time to time).

      That said, it’s a comic. Rule Of Funny always trumps everything else

    Honestly, while I love Amazi-Girl, I’m kinda disappointed by her appearance here. Mostly because she’s already lost her dark batman-like mystique. She appears in the day, and in sight of everyone on the floor. Now everyone knows she exists. 😛

    So does this make Ruth Amazi-Girl’s arch-enemy?

    I like Ruth’s “WTF” expression, really good job. The similarity of Billie’s expression on the next panel does kind of dim the effectiveness overall though. Also amusing is that Billie needs to express scorn before trying to escape the hold or ask what’s going on or do anything else really. Scorn for other people, then anything else; she has her priorities straight. 😉

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

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.
