Looks like the first of many embarrassments for Dan.
well i wonder how long will people think that Dan is a girl :3

Off trying to fix other people's tape decks on another board? :3
Interesting colouring in the bad guys. Especially the eyes...
I haven't been keeping up with the radio show, has Dan got a masculine or feminine voice on the recordings?
See? I knew I should have done Dan... ;-]

he got a kinda effemenate male voice that suits bishounen and really tough girls
but the question now is what the amazons will think of dan once he 'reveals' himself as being estrogen challenged. really, do amazons hate anyone with a package or is there some other explanation they don't have men?

It was tempting to link to one of the Danielle recordings....
Hehehe...so the Amazons here do dislike men.
I wonder why that would displease DP.
I, however, wonder what level of shock would be suffered if Dan just went right out and proved them wrong with his manhood.
However, being that this comic PG, he's probably going to just going to either play along as he fights them, or try to let them know in far less conviencing ways that he is a guy. In this case, we get laughs as his womanhood is probably going to get insulted quite a bit before the discovery is made :U
And on a side note, Kudos for Amber doing Graz justice. That's not an easy character.
...Am I the only one who has never EVER been able to see anything remotely feminine about Dan, except when he dressed up specifically for Biggs?

Dan seems pretty masculine to me too, but then again, I'm not sure what the standards of manlihood are in the multi-species, any-shape-size-and-colour-goes DMFA universe.
At any rate, I now imagine Dan must have a rather feminine voice.
But seriously, the abductors really ought to have noticed his complete lack of boobs.

Not out in the real world, true, but IIRC all DMFA female characters so far have had noticeable boobage...

But there have to be some flat-chested girls out there! But seriously, how much longer can people mistake Dannie for a girl? I can understand that those dimwitted mythos could make such a mistake, but now we are talking about obviously intelligent villains.
Also, Graz looks awesome. I bet he was the one to subdue the amazons. But why are his glasses cracked?

Nah, you're not alone in that department; that's me too. But I'm glad
I'm not alone in the department who couldn't believe that Dan wouldn't have a masculine enough voice, at least for his captors. I swear. :erk
Not to mention there are plenty of other ways of pointing males out (thickness and callousness of hands for example), but I guess most of those don't apply in a world of furres. :P
Regardless, I'm loving the last panel wherein he's putting it all together...and looks as if he's gonna go insane on that little misunderstanding. :mwaha
Perhaps the dress overpowers everything else? I'm thinking this might be the first time he got mistaken for a girl.
And how long ago did we guess this again?

Note that he hasn't said anything yet. That might be the point where they realise their mistake. Unless he's sufficiently scared for his voice to be high-pitched, of course...

Hmm. How about here (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_876.php), although I'll admit it depends on how she's sitting...
In the worst case, panel 1 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_870.php) or panel 4 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_849.php) for a female with no noticeable boobage...
Remember that Dan is an Incubi, people. He might simply 'hit off' with creatures the right way...He certainly seems to be doing it everywhere else. And Amazons being Amazons, they'd naturally hit off well with other femme fatales.
Also, dear Amber, thank you ever so much for making me grin like a cheshire cat. Again. :boogie

And the look on his face in the last panel clearly shows that he is scared more than enough.
It's quite an easy mistake to make, especially since not only have they only seen Dan's face, but also: the Mythos went hunting maidens, and they would seem to believe they were smart enough not to get effeminiate guys as well.
I also like how he's putting it all together. Word math anyone? :D
Not sure want you meant with that panel 1 link, llearch. That's Biggs who's in that panel, not a female :P
And Writer, remember thought though Dan is an Incubi, this is a flashback. He hasn't...matured as a cubi yet, so we can't easily attribute it to that.

Llearch is just messing with our minds. That's Destania masquerading as Biggs there, not Biggs himself.

Oh, it's not Biggs, it's Dan's mother in disguise. Without boobs. Subtle. Very subtle. >_>
It still might be possible, though. Remember he lived three years on beer? That's certainly an incubi effect, so whether or not he has his headwings yet, he's still an incubi.
I believe that a robe is a kind of outfit loose enough to make most people consider that not-too-big boobs would fit in it without being actually noticeable.
Ah, so I was just an ignoramous, and didn't notice any of the hints in those strips. At all. Or the title #873. Yup, missed all those hints. Every one of them.
...I suppose I should visit the forum more often, see how much else I'm missing :B
And yeah, I hadn't thought about that, Writer. Sleep would be good now, I'll head to bed after this...and maybe start thinking again in a day. Or three. If I'm lucky...
Sadly I already knew where this was going the moment Daniel got kidnapped.
Poor Amazons ;_;
Ahahahahah. xD
You know... it's hard to tell if Dan is scared, or if he's about to fly into a berserk rage like he did when Wildy took him and Merlitz out to a night club.
Betrayed by his own effeminate hair. Alas.
Well, when I first saw Dan I too thought that he was a girl.
A fine update, Miss Artist. Bravo!
FINALLY. I'm surprised he didn't realize this the moment girls were dumped on him. And I feel your pain, Amber. I just spent the last two weeks getting over the voice-killing coughy death-germ. You might start to sound like Rachael Ray eventually...
Yay! The smart DP grunts have showed up! Now the story can get cool fight scenes!
It's not like I'd have to worry about Graz's glasses getting any more broken... He's a lawyer though, he'll bury you in paper work or something. That stuff is dangerous.
And wait, Dan's not a girl?!
Well duh, Dan's obviously thee same gender as Abel.... Tails, and Ranma Saotome
>< Dan is not a woman! The Amazon's were being nice to him because he is just so hot and smexy that they couldn't resist him! He's got more masculinity than all of the other guys at Lost Lake put together, and probably has a larger manhood than any of them!
Well, there's no accounting for shapeshifting. Or tentacles. Or shapeshifting tentacles. But pyroduck probably has the biggest manhood if everyone's in their natural form. >:3
It moments like this that make my day.
Male characters mistaken sexuality is high on my humor list, and i pretty much adore Dan. And plus, his nick-name can be a girls name too.

No, an Amazon society would have gender roles reversed (except for child bearing) from the majority of other cultures. Women would be the hunters and men would be the gatherers, women are the warriors and men stay at home to tend the house, women lead and men follow.
If they hated men, how would their society survive? I don't know of any case where two females can concieve a child without a male contributing. Hate would put a damper on the society's continuation.

The might have a solution similar to the Gerudos from The Legend Of Zelda. In the Ocarina Of Time, it is said that that sometimes sneak off to Hyrule Town to look for boyfriends.
... Oh hellz yes!
This should prove to get Quite interesting.

*Ha-hem* I don't suppose anyone counted the possibility of a race of fairly aggressive women having male
slaves, as well...
Regardless, the Amazons of Furrae would seem to be more tame than that, in the same way that the 'Cubi are different from their real-world legendary counterparts. In that sense I vote for the two former scenarios. x3
Ah girly hair...Where it is full of problems towards the future of their life!
Does anyone else notice that the feline in panel two is wearing the same outfit that Mab does? It's a different color but other than that looks like an exact copy... *observes Amber for possible sneaky foreshadowing*

If you noticed that then then fact that one of Dan's wings has apparently gone invisible in certain panels should blow you away...
*Charline hee hee!* Dan's already being mistaken for a girl! So it's a late cameo, eh? So I'll maybe be in the comic in 2012? Hey! The world's ending then! No fair! :<
*Charles notes that Amber is sick again* That's why I drink lots of oolong tea. It helps with resisting colds and stuff. Plus, the body does need some sunshine for vitamin D. Now, I know sunshine hasn't been invented in Canada, but maybe she can import some from Florida or something. ;)
As for amazon culture, It varies in conception. According to DC comics (wonder woman) they seem to despise men. But according to Ranma 1/2, they despise any woman who's not in their clan but will marry the guy who defeats them in a fight

*Looks down at her hands, rough and calloused from working in a coal lab.*
Um....I suppose. Then again I am mistaken for a guy in many online worlds.
Great job as always, Amber. Hope you and your hubby feel better soon. We have been trading that virus back and forth at work.
-Kish
i knew it! i knew dan had been mistaken for a girl! this is why shanna had left her top off for so long.
wait...
has anyone noticed cuddles lying in the bottem of panel three? is she OK?
I really like the blue/gray cat in the background. Reminds me of one of my characters a bit. You know, Dan might be able to avoid being hurt in this affair by breaking the Web-PG rating and making certain readers happy and other readers unable to wait for the next comic.

Has she put her top back on? :) Though she may have, to fight those people outside the box...
And I think they just knocked them out for the moment. After all, just because they're attacking doesn't mean that they want to lose possibly valuable specimens~
Well, it could be pointed out that some legends of Incubi/Succubi hold that they are actually the same thing, inherently androgynous but capable of appearing masculine or feminine as needed. All of the incubi seen so far, except Aniz, seem to to bear this out (and even Aniz would probably seem a bit bishie without the goatee).
pause as someone points out Aaryanna, Fa'Lina, Destania, and all the other succubi shown to date
Er... never mind. It's just Amber poking fun at her own art again.
looks up as a scream pierces the air and watches in horror as the catgirl who had been curled up on the rafters falls to the floor dead
Oops, my bad. looks sheepish, then after a moment, puzzled Wait, since when does talking about the artist's self-deprecating humor count as real-world science? I'm pretty sure psychology doesn't count...
Oh, hold on, this isn't one of Amber's catgirls at all! That ugly, muppet-like pre-teen thing - this wasn't God, this was the work of Randy Millholland! Damn you, Aubrey!
Love Dan's face in the last panel, and the peeking out from around the corner in the middle one is great too. :D
Most Amazon myths have a total female society, that have male slaves, useually the males who try to conquer them. Children born male are killed.
I did read a couple where they would find men, come back, seduce them, and then kill them. And the baby boys were still killed.
I dont know if this has been asked already but is this B. Turner person someone we should know from here or we owe him a slap on the forhead?
B. Turner is me (I'm not sure why she used a letter for my first name), I won the 'shortest story arc ever' auction, like Amber said, and this was one of my bonus prizes.
I used the letter mainly cause one time I had someone who felt reaaally uncomfortable that I used their full name in the credits. And another time when the person used their parents paypal to send money so I only had their character name and their parents name.
So in this case I decided to go the path of least mess-up.
It's also slightly better to go initial/surname than alias, which may vary later, or full name, which, as Amber says, they might not want on the 'net.
'course, in my case, you can be pretty sure the alias I have online is fairly stable, since I've had it for 12 years now. But others may vary...

But seriously, the abductors really ought to have noticed his complete lack of boobs.
Currently, all the abductors have seen is a head with long hair poking out of a box which was supposed to be full of girls. It's a fairly logical step to assume that said long-haired person is a girl. :P
Dan: ... = Urge to kill Rising.
I can see why this is the embarassing part of the story. Dan gets mistaken for a girl lots of times but this is the first time so the first time is always the charm.
I think the Amazons gave Dan more respect because he was nice with them and let one of them have his sword (I would have carried two long swords, two short swords and many throwing daggers but that's just me). The gift of a good weapon to a warrior clan can be a good thing.
Though something just came to mind.
Does Dan have any illigitimate children? Many hero's who are friends to 'wenches' are implied to have a few illigitimate children.
I think that's just the '"friends" to wenches' type, there, Madmann.
Thanks for answer my Questions..Boxy,Llearch and mostly you stiletto *bow*

Awesome.
Drifting totally off-topic, I don't know whether anyone remembers the band
Placebo? The lead singer was kind of ambiguous as well. My brother once told me that when they were on tour, people would sometimes watch to see which toilet he'd go in. Apparently if he saw anyone doing it, he'd sometimes toss a coin before going in the gents.
