Dumbing of Age

Robin kinda sucks at playing it cool

It's weird when the character who's always meant to be in the right says something really stupid.

Also I don't like Sarah anymore. There's been so much Jerkass Façade that it's overpowered any of her actual good points as a person.

Is there any character in the comic that you DO like?

I was gonna say "Dina is okay I guess" in my usual cheeky chips way but that question bugs me enough to go on this tangent.

What kind of weenie would I have to be to read a series where I don't like any of the characters or storylines involving them, not a single one?

Because if only people who actually liked this strip talked in this thread, it'd be very very quiet?

Because you only ever seem to comment in order to say you dislike the character who talked most recently.

No I don't.

Just last week I went on about how much I liked Dina. The only complaint I've had lately was my discomfort with harkening back to Ruth's abusive behavior for a joke.

Maybe the problem is that you only pay attention when it's a piece of criticism.

She's got you there

And this, boys and girls, reminds us that the Knight in Sour Armor has effective armour.

I get the feeling this is going to backfire

Comedy or drama will doubtless kick in. But the plan itself sounds fairly reasonable.

Murphy is gonna have a field day with this.

There he is. Unless he's a hallucination.

Clearly one. See how he's more cartoony than the entire rest of the strip? No proper shadows, simpler and brighter coloring, the black shirt he always wore in the Walkyverse, thinner line art... he's in her mind.

There's also the "That'd be a little less crazy" "Oh wait for it" exchange, which seems to be setting up just that.

And that he clearly wasn't in the room prior.

I just realized something. Amazi-Girl and Amber flat out had a conversation one time, when she was hiding in her chair fort from Sal. Can't she just tell Amber what happened?

Well she could, but if anything happened to Mike, AG would have had a mental breakdown. Not exactly a chatty state of mind.

Good point. They also kind of hate each other right now don't they?

We also don't know what happened to Amazi-Girl. There may not be an Amazi-Girl anymore. Only Amber and Mike.

I'm leaning towards definitely a hallucination

Man, her subconscious is trying really hard to make her remember something's wrong. Almost every line of Mike's has something trying to make her remember that night. "Why are we bad today" indeed.

Maybe Amazi-Girl is Captain Ginyu and she swapped her place in Amber's head with Mike.

Change the world...My final message. Good bye.

Maybe the real Mike was the friends we made along the way.
