02/22/09 [DMFA #977] - Amber's a Gangstah

[Terrion]

You're just jealous because he is too awesome for you to handle.
I bet you wish you came up with a character as cool as Caleb.
I bet you do.

I can.

A character more powerful than a mere Fae.
Able to warp reality with nary a thought.
If this character wished it, the Fae would be fish.
And this character is loved by all who meet them, because they are that awesome.
Bow down before the glory of the coolest character to have ever existed!

You created Amber!? 

Does she know about this?

[Jairus]

You created Amber!? 

Does she know about this?

Amber created herself, and in doing so created me to create her! She is the beginning and the end! The Alpha and Omega! The cream and sugar! She is so powerful that the ensuing paradox matters not to her!

...
What?! NOOO!!! It is Amber's worst enemy! Noooooooooo!!!!!!



EDIT: You know, it's getting weird. I'll stop here.

Dangit! The chocolate and the chip! Argh!

[Baal Hadad]

Well, if you think about it...

If there is no Caleb in DMFA, then there definitely needs to be a lot more of him.  What character needs an appearance more than a nonexistent one?

Maybe he's not in it because NO ONE WANTS to see any of him.  Well, except the one person who mentioned him, maybe....

[Zina]

Caleb isn't a cameo, by the way. He's been around since the very beginning, as you can see from these strips:

Strip 1
Strip 377
Strip 609
Strip 858


Why, he was even in Abel's Story.


I'm really shocked no one ever noticed him before.

[icarus]

zina, have i mentioned to you lately i love you
i love you, write me and caleb into a fic together k
k?
k??
k.

That said: does your tablet still function? or did that go like the mice, too? you use that as an somewhat awkward replacement for a mouse.

The references to the tablet are old enough that it may have been a PS/2 or serial one.  She may now have a USB-only system.

most modern ATX boards by definition still have PS/2 points i think, and from what i can tell, Amber's not exactly running a brand spanking new PC here.

hrm, i guess a simple way to eliminate the mouse question would be to try said mice on a different system, that may have been tried already, i dunno, if they work fine on the other PC, then it might be the mobo itself, something funky may have gone down with the CMOS settings or whatnot.

i'd suggest more, but i'm pretty sure most, if not all plausible avenues have been explored in this case. Short of Amber getting/Cannibalizing/purchasing another PC, i'm fresh outta ideas.

Personally i'd just back everything up that was worth backing up, nuke the partitions, and start from scratch and see if that works, but that's a time consuming and rather annoying process.

Back on Topic: Zina, i never noticed that before, how could i miss out on that much awesome!

Huzzah!!! miracle.

so wait, is Caleb the vampire  or the dragon thing?

seriously why made this comic make me think amber hates vampires.

And caleb, i dont remember a caleb in a comic of dmfa. i know a caleb from W.I.T.C.H.

Merged the double-post.  Please don't do that...  -TW

actually i think it's really because of the sheer saturation of 'em lately, it'd be enough to drive most people away from the idea.. plus most people who play them are so bad at it, it's not funny.

[Emerauld Drathmir]

I'm confused...  

[Lego3400]

Only thing I can think of is Caleb is a horrible misspelling of Abel.   

Otherwise I'm out of ideas.... Wait no. He's from the future and has seen a new charcter to be introduced in the next arc. I smell 


Otherwise... the only response to this comic is   

[Howl]

No Zina! No! Bad whatever-you-are! Bad! *falls out of a window*
...
My god, what a tall building!

More directly, the problem with the tablet is I haven't had it for over a year as I gave it away to a friend taking art school who had shown a lot more interest in using it than I ever did in the years I owned it.

The problem with going out and buying the cheapest mouse I can find is that even if it does fix the issue, I likely will still have to buy yet another mouse.  The whole problem with colouring with a mouse is that low-mouse quality does play a factor.  It isn't so bad for the average internets surfing and clicking and whatnot...but when you are trying to use it to fine-lasso something in Photoshop, having the mini wibbles in your movement is terrible. 


That said, I still get giggles over this mail.  I have gotten a lot of people who mispell their "favorite" characters names. (Dan's been called David. Jyrras has been called Jyrass, Jarvis, Gyros.  Lorenda has been called Laurie.)  This is the first one that I can recall that actually was so far off and vague I have had a hard time pinning it down. It didnt help the person didnt use a single point of punctuation the entire time.

[GabrielsThoughts]

Zina is a cat.

I'm open to the possibilities that there are parallel universes each connected by the information super highway, so there is the possibility that this one e-mail slipped through the barrier of time and space to annoy Amber...surely in a parallel dimension the other Amber is complaining or asking about  Abel.

[Mao]

pff punctuation is for the weak right everyone knows that only silly people waste their time on things like punctuation and such I mean run on sentences are all the rage these days with the young people and it just makes everything easier to digest without having to look at all of those silly dots and squiggly lines

[GabrielsThoughts]

The problem with going out and buying the cheapest mouse I can find is that even if it does fix the issue, I likely will still have to buy yet another mouse.

A cheap mouse is like a cheap pair of sunglasses, or anything else forged in hell. You couldn't  get rid of it, even if you tried.

[Jigsaw Forte]

Well, if they DID confuse your stuff with Last Resort, I promise I've never had a character named Caleb.

... I think.

There's a lot of characters in there.  

[Naldru]

If we remove the initial letter c and assume that the other letters are in the wrong order, it could be Abel.

[Amber Williams]

Speaking of which...if anyone was seriously wondering about the kirby-panel...

it may be better just not to ask.

[Jairus]

Well... I just thought it was the usual silliness you use for your QFTR (Heh... Quoted For Truth). And now... well, I'm going to pretend that it is your usual silliness in that circumstance. Because that was weird.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

For some reason, I feel this is required, now.

Ah, yes, that video.  It always makes me giggle, even though I don't really like Snoop much.

[PinkKitty]

Oh gods... the question in today's comic was almost as bad as a question I got in a comment on one of my latest videos... =@.@=

"What game is this?" ...The game's title was in the video's title...

[Arcblade]

I googled "comic vampire Caleb" and got here:  http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Caleb-(Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer)  So I'm guessing somebody's really confused. 

[Draken]

Well, crud.  Amber's second to last post just destroyed my theory of "She's making it up to watch us go bananas over nothing, Evil Author Style".  'Course, she COULD still be making her post up to do just that....and cause  ME to go bananas over if she is or isnt'   Which she is.  Or isn't?   

[lakobie]

I have an odd thought in my head that its Cain+Abel=Caleb... somehow...

Also is there a thread for introductions? I must have missed it...

Well... Abel --> Cable --> Caleb, mebbe.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Well... Abel --> Cable --> Caleb, mebbe.

You just gave me the mental picture of Marvel's Cable as a furrie....................


Excuse me while I purge that horrific image from my mind.

[Angel]

(Non-funny side)

It's Abel. Caleb - C = aleb. Mix it all up and whaddya get? Bale, Ebal, Blea, Bela, Albe...

And lakobie? The intro thread is two diamonds up the main page from here. You can't miss it.

I'd also like to ask what power would Amber-Kirby have?

[Psy-Kosh]

Amber created herself, and in doing so created me to create her! She is the beginning and the end! The Alpha and Omega! The cream and sugar! She is so powerful that the ensuing paradox matters not to her!

Wait... I've figured it out!

Amber is actually the Bad Wolf.

She creates herself. She scatters the forum posts and posters throughout spacetime, a message to herself.
