*Cue Dark Knight Music*

This should prove interesting

BenRG · « **Reply #2851 on:** 11 Sep 2016, 00:29 »

Actually, based on today's strip (9/11), more likely the fight music from the 1960s live-action Batman TV show, complete with loud trumpet blast to emphasise every blow.

In my experience, there are few things more satisfying than punching a violent, misogynist douchebag.

Sal to the rescue!

Hows that gonna affect Amazi-Girl/Ambers opinion of her

Or it just may be Sal needed to get out the frustration of missing out on her fight with her.

chaospersonified · « **Reply #2857 on:** 12 Sep 2016, 22:10 »

Well, Kugai, it apparently doesn't, and that ANGERS ME.

Come ON, Amber, ACCEPT THE HELP, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PEOPLE CHANGE

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #2858 on:** 13 Sep 2016, 06:44 »

Actually, today's conversation/fight.... Fightversation? Has probably been more open communication between the two of them than ever before. And I'm wondering where this will take them.

BenRG · « **Reply #2859 on:** 13 Sep 2016, 06:50 »

I'm thinking a rooftop to hide out whilst the cops (and possibly the US Secret Service) are looking for them. Having not much else to do, they end up talking. Neither of them want to talk but their own emotional states and self-images just mean tha they can't keep silent. They have to have the last word and be the one who is right.

Of course, what they find out is that both of them are right and yet both of them are also wrong... depending on your point of view.

Kugai · « **Reply #2860 on:** 13 Sep 2016, 16:25 »

Revelation Station - here they come!

Method of Madness · « **Reply #2861 on:** 13 Sep 2016, 18:28 »

I'm really curious what "Not you. Never you." is supposed to mean. Because I'm pretty sure she hates Sal...or maybe Sal just reminds her of her own fear.

sitnspin · « **Reply #2862 on:** 13 Sep 2016, 19:09 »

I think she's starting to realize it isn't Sal she hates, it's herself. I think having the crowd turn so vicious made her see what she was doing. Sal was, at most, a trigger. All the damage inside Amber was already done before Sal came into her life. Sal is just an easy target, she gives Amber a "safe" place to focus all her rage and pain externally.

BenRG · « **Reply #2863 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 00:10 »

I do hope that, as the two dudebros are counting their bruises, contusions and cuts, they remember how their ‘good friend’ Ryan ran away and left them to be pounded into a pulp by two women.

Meanwhile, I suspect that Ryan is about to learn why the most hated phrase in the modern English language is “Login Failed – User Name or Password Incorrect”.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #2864 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 06:57 »

Three dudebros. Everyone always forgets Tyler.

cesium133 · « **Reply #2865 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 07:37 »

To be fair, Tyler deserves to be forgotten.

sitnspin · « **Reply #2866 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 07:50 »

To be fair, Tyler, all you dudebros look the same. It's easy to overlook one of you.

Fucking Willis. Of course the rapist got away.

Just like in real life. At least in the comic there is a chance he'll get beaten by a superhero. That never happens in real life.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #2869 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 08:05 »

That we know of!

sitnspin · « **Reply #2870 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 08:08 »

I know what I'd be doing if I ever ran into any of my attackers. I would gladly accept the assault and battery charges.

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #2871 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 12:10 »

Well I mean there are real life superheroes. They tend to take a... less energetic stance against crime than Amber does. Mostly helping out people and calling the police if they see crime taking place. Mostly. I'm sure some have stopped attempted/rape in progress. It's all to sadly common after all.

I'm not sure yet this qualifies as Ryan 'getting away'. At the very least there are going to be questions and accusations leveled against him. Without Joyce stepping forward it's unlikely anything will be done about the roofie incident. But he did just publicly threaten and attack Amazi-Girl, then steal her phone. And the picture of him has probably already been sent, so getting the phone won't do him much good.

Welu · « **Reply #2872 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 13:37 »

I'm very worried about him having Amber's phone.

Unless he figures out whose phone it is. Hopefully she has a separate account for Amazi-Girl and she didn't post that as Amber.

Kugai · « **Reply #2874 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 14:01 »

So am I Welu.

sitnspin · « **Reply #2875 on:** 14 Sep 2016, 14:37 »

Amber is a tech genius, I highly doubt she'd leave her phone unsecured.

Exclusive preview of tomorrow/tonight's strip, shared on Willis' tumblr:

Probably should've hidden it under a spoiler tag. Sorry, Method.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #2877 on:** 15 Sep 2016, 15:47 »

Me: (sees the picture, wonders if I should be annoyed, but too amused to care)
Me: (sees the apology directed at me, is even more amused)
Yeah...I guess I should probably make less of a thing about things like this.

Kugai · « **Reply #2878 on:** 15 Sep 2016, 15:52 »

So the phone's secure. Figured Amber would have done that

So is Leslie Leslie

cesium133 · « **Reply #2879 on:** 15 Sep 2016, 16:23 »

Amber says the phone is secure. The look on her face suggests she's not so sure...

BenRG · « **Reply #2880 on:** 15 Sep 2016, 23:32 »

Today's strip (9/16) honestly makes me wonder if Amazi-Girl has some weird kind of anger-crush thing going on Sal. If she is, then their relationship and interactions are even weirder than I thought.

Is Marcie upset at Sal leaving her high and dry? Is it that she doesn't appreciate being left on clean-up duty whilst Sal vanishes into the night? Is she jealous at being treated the way she's been treating Sal over Malaya? Or, is she afraid that Sal is about to go tumbling back onto the path of vengeance and violence that it has taken all the time since elementary school to get her to step off?

sitnspin · « **Reply #2881 on:** 16 Sep 2016, 00:27 »

I'm guessing she's pissed for having a row at the event she's supposed to be keeping secure. Sal is putting Marcie's job in jeopardy.

BenRG · « **Reply #2882 on:** 16 Sep 2016, 01:38 »

One of the posters on dumbingofage.com posted something like this, inspired by today's strip:

One is an Emotionally-Damaged
Abuse Survivor
With Anger-Management Issues and a
Secret Identity!

The other is a Too-Cool-For-School
Biker-Chick Rebel
With an ingrained distrust for
Authority!

Together, they
FIGHT CRIME!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd read a strip with that premise!

Kugai · « **Reply #2883 on:** 16 Sep 2016, 15:38 »

I have a feeling Sal is gonna be grateful that Marcie doesn't have Scott Summers power with the death glare coming from her in those Ruby Glasses.

Strip on 9/18:

“Hi, can I have my phone back please…? Oh! You were on a call? Who to? Let’s see… caller ID… Sir? Sir, I’ll be over to see you in a few minutes. Please remain where you are to save yourself unnecessary fear and pain.”

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #2888 on:** 18 Sep 2016, 06:25 »

Shouldn't that sound effect be 'KABOOT'?

Tried to run but he didn't get far.

And he ain't in the ghetto either.

New Strip - 9/19

Oh, really? Whoever that is was planning to run over Ryan as well as Amazi-Girl and Sal! I’m wondering if he is low man in a much larger and much more unpleasant pile upon which Amazi-Girl and Sal have just stumbled! Y'know, a 'brotherhood' of roofie-happy freshman rapists, one of whom has decided to silence another of their number who has been caught so as to prevent them all being exposed.

sitnspin · « **Reply #2891 on:** 19 Sep 2016, 00:51 »

I'm guessing it is more incompetence than malice.

BenRG · « **Reply #2892 on:** 19 Sep 2016, 01:45 »

Driving directly at them at speed? I find that unlikely. The most generous interpretation is that he was trying to 'scare them' into letting Ryan go and chose the single most stupidly dangerous way of doing so.

Kugai · « **Reply #2893 on:** 19 Sep 2016, 16:25 »

I wonder if Sal has her Bike handy?

BenRG · « **Reply #2896 on:** 20 Sep 2016, 23:26 »

Calling it: Sal's black-and-red bike jacket is going to morph into her super-suit, if only because that's how the eyewitnesses at the rally are going to remember it.

Kugai · « **Reply #2897 on:** 21 Sep 2016, 16:12 »

Sidekick Sal

And a name and an employer - it's a start as well as the fact they have the Photo that Amazi-Girl sent to Dorothy

Kugai · « **Reply #2898 on:** 22 Sep 2016, 16:00 »

I'm wondering how it's gonna go down with her and Marcie now.

Remember the 'Death Glare' look she gave Sal? She wasn't a happy camper over what happened at the Rally.
