Amazons! Go Dan! :mowhappy
What luck. He must be in heaven right now. XD
this explains why he wants to find them again. aw man "To Dan my his eternal Quest end in victory."
That lucky dog, er cat. He gets to see topless Amazons!
This is my new favorite page.
Not to be beatting a dead horse or such, but damn that gir's hawt! :)
I'll agree, no wonder why Dan wants to find them in the first strip! xD
Why is it, with all these apparently fortunate things happening to Dan, that I get the feeling that there's another MASSIVE shoe about to drop? I know, it's because Amber is writing this comic. Just you wait, Dan.
Am I the only one dorky enough to have pulled up this strip (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_005.php) and checked for them? :B
Edit:
Don't use quotes, the board doesn't like them. ;-]

Please tell me I'm Not the only one who saw that coming.. like 2 strips ago?
Note: Still a funny page.. Hehe :mowtongue

You are not alone
Do you think they've noticed Dan isn't a girl, yet?
*Giggles* Indeed, it all makes sense now! This has become my favorite comic page as well I have to admit. I am pretty sure that Dan's going to have a hard time thinking straight for next decade > >;
Amazons? Topless bluegirl? Sisters!? Dan... you are the luckiest man alive right now...
It took me two read-throughs, but we now know a name. Bluegirl is Shanna.
I'm really likin' the special treatment "hallelujah" got in the last panel. And I couldn't agree with Dan more.
:boggle :erk

If Cuddles is snuggling with Dan, and thinks he's a girl, what might
that signify? (possibly extending to her sisters, as well? Especially since she said they are sisters of spirit,
not blood?!?) HMMMMMMMM......

And now we know why!
...this is starting to seem too good to be true for Dan.
Oi! Get that lizard a shirt, there's a guy staring at her!
The question of whether they know Dan's a guy or not will soon become moot if Shanna doesn't cover up that bountiful chest of hers soon!
"Eyes on the prize."
Should be
"Eyes on the prizes," am I right?
*is half expecting dan to wake up, being the unwitting subject of dream modification* :B
a part of me thinks Dan is streaching the trouth a bit.
Though knowing him and his past this is either the more general rated version or the exact trouth with storyteller comentary.
eh most people embellish a little. hey look at me i say i'm human right?
This explains everything. :mowwink
Red haired one already is the top of the 3 in my book for the comic before this one :3
Ok, so first goes the necklace, then the top... What's next?

hahahaha ... HALLELUJA! :)
My expression was basically the same as Dan's when I read this. I imagine it must have gone fairly well or it might have put him off Amazons by the time the main strip started.
I think i now know why Dan had High heel in his closet http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_418.php

Arguably not, or they would have attacked him by now. Unless, of course they were afraid he was an Angel and therefore too dangerous to attack.
Damn you, Shanna! Now I don't know which girl I like the most once again! After all, I can't say no to a girl who is ready to sacrifice her top (and probably the rest of her clothes :3) for victory.
...
Nah, I still like Cuddles more. Lovely eyes...
And Dannie's expression in the last panel is priceless.
/me starts humming Ode To Joy... *
Ahahahahahah!
xD
:O
No.....way....
:goamber
I mean, I knew it would happen at some point, but STILL... Zoog.
At this point in time, that is one lucky s.o.b. that I would love to trade places with. >:3
Awesome comic?
Awesome comic! :D
hehehehe, yaay for this comic! I love it so much.. we've been waiting so long for the amazon adventure ^_^
*Charline snerks* And then Dan finds out that they're all lesbian. ;)
*Charles ooos!* Those three are like the 'sisters' from "Read or Die, the TV series"! Can they telekinetically use paper as weapons and stuff too? :B
*Charline grrs* No, they use brute force.... like the kind I'm going to use on you, RIGHT NOW!!! :kruger

We actually don't know if they know he's a boy. He is in a dress with rather large hair, and the two kidnappers confused him for a girl even after hearing him.

OK, seriously. Well-drawn comic, yes. Well-written comic, yes. Funny comic, yes.
But it's not real.
Do any of you have a clue how juvenile you're making yourselves look by going :erk "lizard boobeez!" :erk
If this were real life, I would make it a point not to be seen anywhere near you guys, in case it's contagious. I seriously doubt Amber had this in mind when she drew this particular comic, and frankly, you're making me ashamed to share your gender and sexual orientation.

The three ladies may not be real but that does not mean that they are not beautiful. In fact they are beautiful and if I could, I would want to be in Dan's situation just for a few select minutes (or hours).
After reading this page I still think that Matilda is the perfect fit for Dan... :mowninja
I want to cast my vote that Dan was mistaken for a girl in this comic. It would make his vendetta with Dark Pegasis more well rounded.
They are beautiful, yes.
Not really my type, though.
My favorite of the three would be the bunny, though honestly, I'd prefer someone of a more predatory persuasion.(Wolves is pretty! Bunnies, not so much.) I've developed a liking for red hair recently :P .
Now, I'm not saying that I object to the strip itself. It's humerus, well-drawn, does character development, and features female characters who, it's already been said, Amber draws very sexyfully. I simply wish to make it clear that I don't approve of everyone who is posting just to say
Quote from: Volfram on March 12, 2008, 11:13:12 PM:erk "lizard boobeez!" :erk
Seriously. Can they even talk to a real girl without stuttering?
Hey, it's called fantasy - suspension of disbelief.
When someone has the ability to put themselves in a fictional situation, especially one far from reality, it just means that they have an imagination. It doesn't mean that they aren't in contact with reality.
In my experience, people like that are actually more intelligent, and understand the real world better than those who don't use their imagination (or don't have any).

Funny bone? As far as being immature, yeah, I suppose some of us are. But, as someone else mentioned, this is a fantasy comic inspired (or was one to inspire, I forget which) furcadia. Hello, fantasy land here!
Feh, immature.
Who cares? What exactly does that mean anyway? Is a governor hiring call-girls 'mature'? I've seen supposedly 'mature' people make incredibly stupendous mistakes and ruin their lives forever, while I and my supposed immaturity have made none, and will never make such mistakes because I'm not even vulnerable to the temptations.
And this is a forum for fun anyway, where we worship Amber's art in the vague hope that she will turn her eye upon us and shower us with blessings from below *since she's obviously getting art talent from demons*.
So with that.... OMFG!!! LEEZARD B00BEEZ!! TEH SHMEXY! LULZ! :B
You ARE the weakest link! Goodbye! *vaporized!*
BAD WOLF...
Right, then, let me rephrase.
Y'all seem to have an unhealthy obsession with lizard boobies. Her hair covers more than her top did in the first place.

You are correct. But all the chars have been anthropomorphisized, thus acquiring humanlike anatomy. But the reptiles are still not supposed to have
boobies (http://www.prime-boobs.ytmnd.com/)! *ker-nerd: part two* :B

Wait, I think the boobies were just approved by Optimus Prime. Alright, it's fine then! :3

(It occurs to me that this post could be taken as overtly offensive. It is just intended to point out the flaw in the logic, and I thought it was funnier this way.)
It was meant to be confusing and logically flawed so people would make fun of it. My job here is done. Knight vanish! *vanishes with loud metallic noises*
I just realized something when I went looking back through the archives some.
Early on, dan repeatedly makes it clear that he wants to be hooked up with "cute canine friends"
http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_281.php (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_281.php), http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_294.php (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_294.php)
Now, I may be going out on a bit of a quite a huge limb here, and we haven't even established if the canine-ish girl is really canine, or hyena, or what, (not to mention this seems to always be connected to arya, and was more of a running joke because of dan's only hearing what he wanted to hear) But heck, slight chance there might be a bit more of a relationship between the two? They did seem awefully cute together.
Buuut then again the bunny-ish girl hugged his wings, and the lizard girl... well obviously dan likes her too, so no idea... just freeform though.

A year or so ago, Amber published some old archival sketches from '99-2000 or so. IIRC, she said that the succubus who introduced the 'Cubi concept was originally going to be a canine, before she cameoed Aary for the role. His insistence on canines was left in as a homage to that, or something.
ah see, shows how much I know :animesweat
There is a huge amount that can (and probably has been) written about why people can find fictions characters attractive but it boils down to three things
1. Humans are 'programmed' to see patterns, even where there are none, because of this a curved line and two dots can be seen as a face, and human bodies can be represented easily
2.Due to the amount of our brains that is dedicatedly to sexual reproduction (more in men) and the fact that fictions females can be 'perfect' ideals (a line drawing has no imperfections unless there added) means that we can be attracted to things we know aren't real.
3. People can (and will) shag inanimate objects and non-human animals surprising often with no regard to weather the find them attractive or not.
Yep, people are a messed up bunch but these kind of fantasies are harmless if kept in your head or between consenting adults....
There's more that can be said but I won't add it unless asked.

I see what you mean. And I think Amber mentioned once that in matilda's case, the breasts store flammable liquids, and some other artists assume it's a stock of fat. It's likely that the reptiles on furrae follows this line as well
(I can't see the link -.- )

That would make no sense. In theory reptiles shouldnt have normal two legged walking, hair, humanesque reproduction, or the proper vocal chords to emulate human speech. There is no logic to it being ok to anthromorphize one part of human quality to a reptile character but others are just "too unrealistic" Its a 5'7" walking talking reptile with blue hair.
When it comes to anthromorphizing, I tend to lean heavily towards more humanesque than animal. Which means save for certain types, the girls have the bewbs, the blood tends to be warm, and the wangs are not freaking animal-wacky. Not that it matters what wangs are wanging since thats never gonna get featured in this comic, but I am anal retentive enough to cover as many aspects of things as I can...even the naughty bit ones. Its just how I roll. :U
eeek! No rolling anyone's wangs!
... or at least wait until I get out of reach. Sheesh...

Actually I just said that for fun.

Well, the movie was PG-13, so I assume the image was. And I'll leave judgement calls to everyone else. After all, she's a demon water-lizard thing from ninth-century Denmark. There's bound to be some creepyness there. Just be thankful I didn't post naked animated Anthony Hopkins as King Hrothgar.

Well for what it's worth, I'm happier with the current topic. Now it's just talking about boobs in general, instead of obsessing over a character who sacrificed her cleavage-coverings* and is now more covered with her own hair**.
I'm picky when it comes to boobs. They should be just right-sized, not too big, not too small, but most definitely, should be the right scale for the girl attached.
*not that they covered her
cleavage, per-se, but you know.
**I thought the general rule of thumb was that when a lizard has hair, you should throw it out.

True true...the happiness of the people on the forum is the bane of my existance afterall. :B
hey, aren't you supposed to be working, anyway?
Pfft. I'd rather see Amber this happy than have a Friday update, if I had to choose.
Though if I had to choose, I'd rather see happy Amber give us a Friday update. And maybe a bonus comic on Saturday. NEVER COMPRIMISE! :woot (we really need a fist-shakey emote.)
... ok, ok. I guess you're right. Happy Amber beats Grumpy Amber and No Update. ;-]
I'm testing out a new mouse/keyboard. When I returned, I found my old ones were pretty much...blarargh'd. So I had to go out and get some new ones. Their both cordless and I am still not used to them. Colouring is very wierd...so odds are this is gonna be a late night update (I'm estimating 4-5AM).
...granted the sleeping 16 hours and waking up at 5PM may have something to do with this decision as weeeeeeell...*cough*
Are they laser or wave?
Laser... blows. And will irritate. Lots.
Wave... nothing really stops a wave from working. At least that I've seen.
Looks to be laser.
Not fully sure.
I mean sheesh, I love art, but I cant yet get myself to plunk down 200+ bucks for some of the mice/keyboards they were trying to offer.
So far it seems to be working just fine. Its just...wierd cause the mouse is shaped somewhat differently so I am not used to the flow.

Are they laser or wave?
Laser... blows. And will irritate. Lots.
Wave... nothing really stops a wave from working. At least that I've seen.
When you say laser or radio wave, are you referring to the method that the mouse uses for detecting motion or the method that mouse uses for communicating with the computer? I'm not sure, and I have a sneaky suspicion that Amber isn't either.
All of the wireless mice I've seen lately have either been Bluetooth or had their own radio dongle on the computer.
The big thing is to keep Amber happy. That way, she'll spend less time on the souped up steam-roller which has apparently been equipped with a catapult for launching Acme anvils. (From what I understand of the posts.)
oh, well, if you -want- more conversation to test the mouse and keyboard with... ;-]
Personally, I -had- a wireless mouse, and while it was cool and all, it tended to eat batteries like no tomorrow. I eventually went back to a standard optical usb mouse.
Keyboards I tend to have wired anyway, as they usually come with -way- long cables, and I'm not usually anywhere away from a desk, other than with my laptop. And if I'm on my laptop, it's got a keyboard on it anyway, so...
I'll be interested in how you get on, longer term, though. It's been a couple years since I last looked into it, and they may have improved...
I had a wireless mouse and keyboard with a proprietary dongle. I changed the batteries when the response started getting a little squashy, which was about once a month. There was no on/off to either the keyboard or the mouse, and they served me well for quite some time.(I keyed five triggers in MW4 to the L,M,R buttons, and wheel up/down and proceeded to visit ownage upon my dad's mechs when we could play.)
more recently, I have a sealed silicone USB keyboard which would theoretically work if submerged in water, though the Shift keys are a bit washy. I use the mouse that came with my tablet for a mouse, most of the time.
At least, I did until I got a laptop, and now my desktop is having boot trouble due to age, so I primarily use the built-in keyboard and touchpad. I'm getting really used to a touch pad. I do have a USB laser mouse, though, which I use when I want to be away from the laptop.(my brother uses his almost exclusively. We have the same model laptop.)
But what do mice have to do with coloring? Don't you have a tablet? Probably a better one than my 4x6 Graphire3.(I'm wanting to save up and upgrade to the large-sized $250 Bamboo Fun, but Nan Desu Kan comes first.)
When it comes to computer graphics, it is very much different pen strokes for different folks. However, since the Photoshop image only appears on the screen, the tablet doesn't gain you as much. I can definitely understand minor changes in the mouse being disturbing. I'm the same way with changing keyboards. As you become better using the keyboards and pointing devices, very tiny changes become very annoying until you've worked with them for a few hours. Some of the tiny mice (designed for fitting more easily in laptop bags) may never become comfortable.
hmm, true. The Bamboo Fun mouse is an odd shape, which will take some getting used to. I'm still not entirely sure why they designed it like that.
Far cry from the old boxes with buttons. I remember a 3-button mouse that was roughly the shape and size of a two-deck playing card box. I still have a joystick that's nothing more than a button on the end of a rod in a square box.
I should get a Gameport->USB adapter.
A mouse the size and shape of a two-deck box would be awkward to handle. As I recall, the old Sun, HP, Apollo, and Amiga two and three button mice were about the size and shape of a single deck of playing cards. Which only makes sense, since they were all designed to be held in one hand.
Back to the comic.... is the rabbit supposed to have a Russian accent? That is all I hear when I read her dialog.
8) Is Dan ever going to use the anti-magical properties of his robe to get out, or is he having too much of a good time ...
I still give the prize of worst mouse ever to my friend. Her wireless mous doesn't move, but instead has a huge ball on the top that you rotate to move the cursor. I can not see anybody drawing on that (I could barely use the internet on that.)

What makes you think she has a Russian accent? *ker-Russian accent* I don't see no Rashan aksent zere, comrade. :3
I for some reason see her talk with a slight German accent, or something like that.

Sorry, but the robe does not work that way. It is meant to protect the one wearing it from harm, not break down other's defences.
Incidentally, speaking of Chairman Mow...
... Did you hear that recently a couple of computer geeks in China were executed?
They were caught rolling on the floor, laughing at Mao.

That is called a "Trackball," and some people swear by them. I hate 'em.

TGH, do you know what you've done now? You just killed two Chinese engineers!

I use a trackball my self I used o have a thumb placed trackball and I loved it. But I couldn't find a replacement. My marble maouse isn't as nice but I still prefure it over a regular mouse.
As to the two chinese enginers... this is going to sound racist but there are plenty more where they came from

Never said it was a bad thing. That's two fewer engineers they can stick on projects to nuke the United States. You deserve a medal of some sort. :mwaha
[DISCLAIMER] I'm being silly! Don't take it seriously!
Those two engineers were only guilty of lol'ing too hard! >:]
