I think it could get screwier, she could become a composite of Lois Lane and JJ!
“Get me pictures of Amazi-Girl! Hot sweaty pictures with battle damaged costume!”
and to add: “Then I’ll blackmail her into marrying me!” Silver Age Lois Lane was a bongo, though she doesn’t deserve half the crap she gets from the other characters, like that bastard Silver Age Supes!
I loved the Brave and the Bold’s referance to that recently when he goes rogue and at one point says
“And this is for all the times you tried to trick me into marrying you!”
Lois replys “I have no clue what he is talking about!”
Then Lois looks shifty.
Amber and Billy are almost identical apart from the hair, but Dorothy is looking less and less like them in each strip. Still, at the beginning, a lot of people were asking why Amber was blonde.
I agree that Amber and Billie look a lot more alike than Amber and Dorothy. Amber and Billie are both much more curvy. Dorothy’s all angles. I’ve also noticed that Amber’s glasses are different than Billie and Dorothy’s.
It is a little harder to tell with their facial structure, since the details are a little light and the noses are pretty similar, but the body types are pretty different.
He’s the only person we’ve seen her share her name with so far, yes.
Note that so far in this storyline, Amazi-Girl has only ever been referred to as “the campus vigilante.” Because her name isn’t common knowledge. Or her gender. She’s a person in a superhero costume who strikes mostly at night.
If Amazi-Girl IS androgynous, that’s actually another point for him/her being Ultra-Car. *nods* Of course, on the con side, we have the fact that Ultra-Car may or may not even exist in this universe.
Scene: Chez Willis, 12:18PM.
[text on screen] FacePenisMother: hey so is ethan gay

Willis: I see. [finger pyramid of evil contemplation] I shall not make the same mistake twice, Random Commenters.
Hey, Billie’s wearing something flattering. Checking for positive comments above in 3, 2… and yup there we go.
Maybe Billie should have pitched her corrupt RA story as “My Girl RA, who is a girl, stole my stuff and was mean to me. While being a girl!” Bet it would have been newsworthy then…
Maybe so, but if she can remove that stick up her ass, get off her high horse and back on the wagon, those extra pounds wouldn’t matter, in fact, she might attract a lot more guys that way.
I wonder how long and how much it’s going to take to get it through Billie’s skull that something a nerd is doing is significant (or at least interesting).
Daisy you FAIL as any sort of journalist. Hope she gets replaced as Editor soon cause. I mean seriously, she’s turn down two stories that could prove important for the safety and well-being of the student body, and instead is only interested in hot girls being sexy. If she wants to deal in smut, she should apply for an internship at Playboy.
And yeah, Dorothy does have more to go on than the Anonymous group. She has an entire dormitory floor of girls who saw Amazi-Girl save Billie from being further abused. Not to mention numerous other students who have probably been saved by her. And again, how do we know none of the girls who saw Billie get saved didn’t snap a photo of Amazi-Girl?
It might be the possibility that a girl she DOESN’T know could be gay. She’s probably pretty sure that Billie and Dorothy aren’t, but every new girl she hears about is gay until proven otherwise.
rode my bike past where my kid was at camp
bike trail was 10 feet from where they were having lunch
called his name, louder and louder, eventually other kids got his attention
he looked at me like "...who are you?"
"...I'm your DAD."
i have never before felt so much like i was Stranger Danger
Good piece by @jamellebouie.net taking apart JD Vance's reprehensible immigration worldview on the substance. I'd add that JD seems to cast our admission of immigrants purely as an act of benevolence on our part, when of course that's not the story at all

I hope Josh Johnson is given The Daily Show and is allowed to rebuild it from scratch in his own image just like Jon Stewart got to do in 99.
He has built his own groundbreaking form of topical comedy, and imitating the style of others is something he is great at, but better than.

Good news for the people still circulating this post: it is now a real t-shirt you can purchase and wear to let the world know you take responsibility for the actions of fictional characters:
The Emotion Engine@emotion-engine.bsky.social ⋅ 9d
Normally I’d let this sort of thing just die out but an alarming amount of you have asked where you can buy this and my wife had to have an emergency surgery the day before I made this, so here is my chance to live the American Dream (selling print-on-demand shirts to pay down medical debt)

Someone leaked the entire unreleased Micronauts animated series to archive.org
All 52 episodes
Yes they FULLY FINISHED a Micronauts cartoon in the early 2020s and mothballed it
Vangelus@vangelus.bsky.social ⋅ 2d
tested ep1 of Micronauts, skipped to the credits so I could see every name of every crew member who put in so much work with the expectation that anybody would ever see the thing they did as part of their vocation in a creative field, working in service of what should be a reliable client & partner

admittedly, i might be arriving at a little annoyance on behalf of anyone responded to ever with "WELL it's not called SMARTING of age" because that's become a lot, i think the fork might be in that one, it's done
today in #9chickweedlane i learned that "how to lie" is not, actually, achieved by cupping the balls, despite the evidence of the entirety of the first panel, but by some other giant pile of words i guess, tl;dr
“It’s not me who’s a bigot,” they always argue. “I’m fine with all you people. But the rest of the electorate is full of bigots, on whose behalf I will now speak”
Oh Billie, you just said the secret word.
*All the furniture starts shouting and moving* AAAAAAAAAH!
Mekka lekka high, mekka hiney ho!
And thus another opportunity for a girlfriend is spotted. Interest is officially perked.
I think something else is perking too.
no, no. her finger is just erect…waitaminute, that’s not quite what i meant
Mainly her ears and nipples.
Sadly, they’re directly connected to each other.
Oh god, Daisy’s expression and response made me crack up.
Guess she doesn’t need those scissors now!
She’s like a female version of Joe!
Nah, Joe’s a pathological manslut. Daisy’s just gone so long without that she’s getting a little desperate.
Daisy gains interest in the story just by finding out the vigilante is a girl in a jumpsuit?
Something tells me she plays Mass Effect 2……..
To quote myself from yesterday:
I think it could get screwier, she could become a composite of Lois Lane and JJ!
“Get me pictures of Amazi-Girl! Hot sweaty pictures with battle damaged costume!”
and to add: “Then I’ll blackmail her into marrying me!” Silver Age Lois Lane was a bongo, though she doesn’t deserve half the crap she gets from the other characters, like that bastard Silver Age Supes!
I loved the Brave and the Bold’s referance to that recently when he goes rogue and at one point says

“And this is for all the times you tried to trick me into marrying you!”
Lois replys “I have no clue what he is talking about!”
Then Lois looks shifty.
Anyone else think Billie,Dorothy and Amber look the same except the hair? Maybe it’s just the glasses
I think that’s actually been pointed out before that they all share the same character model.
Aside from their facial shapes.
And breast shapes.
And overall builds.
But they’re all outlined in, like, black lines, so they’re basically indistinguishable.
Amber and Billy are almost identical apart from the hair, but Dorothy is looking less and less like them in each strip. Still, at the beginning, a lot of people were asking why Amber was blonde.
I agree that Amber and Billie look a lot more alike than Amber and Dorothy. Amber and Billie are both much more curvy. Dorothy’s all angles. I’ve also noticed that Amber’s glasses are different than Billie and Dorothy’s.
Wait… AMBER and BILLIE look the same? Well, except for the roundness of their faces. And their eyebrows. And their body type.
Well, Amber’s looks seem to be pretty common, at least in San Francisco.
It is a little harder to tell with their facial structure, since the details are a little light and the noses are pretty similar, but the body types are pretty different.
Cheek/chin shape’s pretty visible, though. Dorothy has a very round chin, whereas Billie’s is more normally pointed.
No.
So I do need to get my glasses fix then? That’s the consensus
I dunno what she’s more interested in: Imagining Amazi-Girl as a skin-tight high heel superhero, or Billie’s tank top.
I mean, ‘ehllo there, boys.
I’m interested in Billie’s tank top.
With my penis.
I harbor PERVERSE SEXUAL LUST for Billie’s tank top.
I would rather narbou interest in what is under said tank-top but what would I know? I’m weird that way.
narbou = harbor >_<
The sooner I can get that special keyboard from the Royal Society for the Blind, the better.
The n is right below the h, but how did you get across the keyboard from r to u?
By moving the right index finger to the top row instead of the left index finger? That’s all I can figure.
It might have been because I was originally going to spell harbour instead of harbor.
gravatar does not match comment. confused!
Hardly, Deathwing loves to get it on with the human ladies.
I’m surprised Daisy isn’t staring.
Billie’s starting to grow a bit wider and _I do not give a damn_
DaisyxAmazi-Girl or, better yet…
DaisyxUltra-Car.
Brain Bleach required.
Daisy/Ultra-Car: So who will end up taking it up the talepipe in that relationship? >:D
I don’t know, Billie, maybe it’s because her nerdy jumpsuit hasn’t been shanghaied by her RA and isn’t being slowly dismembered.
Daisy’s final expression reminded me a lot of Bill Amend’s Foxtrot expressions. Love it.
This is exactly why I didn’t join my college newspaper.
Go ahead, Daisy, just lay all your cards right on the table.
All things considered, it’s lucky that she’s too professional to consider anyone who works at the paper as a prospect.
Maybe her gaydar only works with women she has talked to or seen up close?
What, the name “Amazi-Girl” wasn’t enough of a tip-off?
This may be a shock, but just because the audience knows something doesn’t mean the characters do.
As far as I can tell Danny is the only one who knows her superhero name so far…right?
He’s the only person we’ve seen her share her name with so far, yes.
Note that so far in this storyline, Amazi-Girl has only ever been referred to as “the campus vigilante.” Because her name isn’t common knowledge. Or her gender. She’s a person in a superhero costume who strikes mostly at night.
Basically he’s telling us that Amazi-Girl is androgynous. Ouch. That says some hurtful things about Ultra Car’s masculinity.
If Amazi-Girl IS androgynous, that’s actually another point for him/her being Ultra-Car. *nods* Of course, on the con side, we have the fact that Ultra-Car may or may not even exist in this universe.
Daisy’s next words are, “Get me pictures, then we’ll talk.”
Tits or gtfo?
She did reference Anonymous. Could it be she’s into 4chan?
So you think she gangs around /b/ or maybe /u/?
I vote /d/. ALWAYS.
its all like, ninja hidden and stuff.
oooh, daisy is catwoman?
Daisy is the lesbian Joe.
“A woman! I must have sex with it!”
I was just thinking that as well.
has she met Roz yet?
Oh well…That got her attention. XD

…and that’s how we got here.
He’s acommodating the many people who read this comic without knowing the cardinal rule of reading – PAY ATTENTION.
Also, the cardinal rule of Willis comics – everyone is attracted to the same sex until proven otherwise.
Daisy is just like Ethan in this regard, except Ethan likes Drew and himself to do Batman costumes, she likes originals

And gimme my bloody female gravatar already, sick of the males. >.<
You just need to do what I do and make your own Gravatar.
The forementioned comment was meant for Jaymie; I’m not sure why it didn’t post as a reply…
The part I’m wondering is, why did you alter the hair and make the shirt blue?
Because I can never just leave a pic exactly as is, I am compelled to modify it in a number of ways.
It’s like I have some sort of Editing OCD disorder.
*COD disorder
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
*CDO
…how much of this have you /read/?
well…that was supposed to be a response to someone. –;
The reply feature isn’t working consistantly for some strange reason.
Dear Daisy,
I’m a she!
Are you? Huh.
Superheroine or porn star?
Or motorcyclist!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait… “She”??? I thought Amazi-girl was Ultra-car…
Ultracar has more than one secret.
Yes.
Hey, Billie’s wearing something flattering. Checking for positive comments above in 3, 2… and yup there we go.
Maybe Billie should have pitched her corrupt RA story as “My Girl RA, who is a girl, stole my stuff and was mean to me. While being a girl!” Bet it would have been newsworthy then…
“and we fought. in mud. but then we started making out.”
Can you say “Magic Word”?
yup XD
I can say “swordfish”, is that the same thing?
The magic words are “Dinky Spork Banana”.
Ice-T and Keanu Reeves? *hears the world ‘sploding!*
The “she” has been established. NOW it’s a story.
Billie’s pretty chubby for a cheerleader.
Which I believe has been commented on in-strip, hasn’t it? One gets the impression she went to seed pretty fast.
As heavily as she drinks, that’ll happen.
Maybe so, but if she can remove that stick up her ass, get off her high horse and back on the wagon, those extra pounds wouldn’t matter, in fact, she might attract a lot more guys that way.
And NOW Daisy is interested. She really does need a GF, in the worse possible way.
I fear for any girl who ends up in her romantic cross hairs.
Daisy’s either the LesbiJoe, or, just possibly, Desperate for a Relationship Lesbian is desperate for a relationship.
How did I see this coming? So amusing.
Damn it Daisy keep your pants on.
I wonder how long and how much it’s going to take to get it through Billie’s skull that something a nerd is doing is significant (or at least interesting).
“…her?”
Was Daisy always this horny?
Daisy you FAIL as any sort of journalist. Hope she gets replaced as Editor soon cause. I mean seriously, she’s turn down two stories that could prove important for the safety and well-being of the student body, and instead is only interested in hot girls being sexy. If she wants to deal in smut, she should apply for an internship at Playboy.
And yeah, Dorothy does have more to go on than the Anonymous group. She has an entire dormitory floor of girls who saw Amazi-Girl save Billie from being further abused. Not to mention numerous other students who have probably been saved by her. And again, how do we know none of the girls who saw Billie get saved didn’t snap a photo of Amazi-Girl?
when someone proves to daisy that the student body is female, she will begin to take interest in its well-being.
Wait … Daisy is so horny that just the mention of someone being a girl makes her sport “girl-wood”?
How is she able to keep her head straight around two other women then?
It might be the possibility that a girl she DOESN’T know could be gay. She’s probably pretty sure that Billie and Dorothy aren’t, but every new girl she hears about is gay until proven otherwise.
I would gladly just read a comic about these three student journalists. Getting the TRUTH!
