Use this thread to discuss what you would like to see Amber do for a 900 comic special. It can be what you would like to see her do, or what you think she will do. Just post your ideas, no one will make fun of you.
My idea.
Ever since I saw comic #815 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_815.php), I have wanted to see the rest of the cast dressed up as super hero's. And comic #900 is as good a place as any.
You realize, of course, now that you've made this thread we'll get another cop-out strip like #300 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_300.php) and #500 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_500.php)... not that she doesn't deserve it, but I'm just saying it's more likely than not.
As for me, my vote goes for "It's over NINE HUNDRED!!!!!!"

Oh great gods above, that would be AWSOME.
Amber and Fluffy stand facing the DMFA logo. Amber turns to Fluffy."Fluffy, what does our counter say about the comic number?"
Fluffy takes down the counter."It's over nine-HUNDREEEEEEEEEEED!"
Fluffy smashes counter with Wand of Motivation. Amber is in shock."WHAT? Nine-HUNDRED?!?"
She should skip comic 900 and just go straight to comic 901 from 899.
Obviously strip 900 should be my characters dressed up in "Bleach" outfits! :boogie
It's the only reasonable possibility, since I'm so awesome. c:

No. Those will be
my characters, and they will be dressed up like the characters from "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure".
This is the only reasonable possibility, because "The World" rules the world!
Actually, I root for the "Over Nine Hundred" scenario, but then it should be the 901 strip, not the 900.
I agree with the over 900 scenario even if it's not rock/mega man based.

*dresses Alondro up in a giant Clorox Bleach bottle*
I think Amber should really do something nice for the fans -
Like giving us all a car, like Oprah does for her audience.
Yeah, that would be great.
...I actually like Alondro's Bleach idea oddly enough... though knowing Amber, she'd go with bleach bottles... not the anime... Super hero idea would be cool too... or perhaps it could simply be Amber running from Fluffyzilla, who happens to be dual wielding Giant's Wands of Motivation

That alone would be pretty cool.
This isn't for the 900th comic, but I had a wallpaper idea (mentioned in another thread). Abel (as Merlitz) doing his lakeside fire demonstration. Did he keep it sensible or actually set the lake on fire as he commented?
Young-adult Freaky Pirate Rodents. >_>
o/~ Rodents count it off o/~
Memes, old or new, need to stay out of any good webcomic.
Yeesh. And here I was thinking I would just offer cheesecake/beefcake wallpapers or something.
Honestly, I wouldnt be suprised if I dont do anything special for comic 900. It just never dawns on me to do anything out of the ordinary when I am stuck in the middle of a storyline.

Brilliant!
For comic 900, you can just drop the storyline!
No one would ever suspect it...

so speaks the most inspired of us all
I vote something to stall for time, yet at the same time revealing subtle hints or images to characters that may or may not appear before 2010 that we may or may not know about...
Do nothing special for 900
For 901, frame 1
Fluffy: You do realize that the last strip was number 900. What are you going to do about it?
Amber: Work on 902 and get some rest.
Fluffy: You're being lazy.
Frame 2
(Fa'lina, displaying scary demeanor to Fluffy and standing between Fluffy and Amber)
Fa'lina: Let the poor girl get some rest.
Fluffy: (Gulp) Okay.
*Charles would rock as a Chlorox bottle...* Think of all the undies I could whiten...
*Charline finds that image more than slightly disturbing* :erk Ok, I now vote for a comic in which Charles meets Dr. Ink. >:3
Dr. Ink slipping Mrs. Williams a really strong Micky Finn. Mrs. Williams then sleeps through the next three updates. :sleep
With regards,
Ted

Why not start a donation vote drive running from strip 900 to strip 950 to determine if strip 1000 will be the ultimate cheesecake or the ultimate beefcake? You know, every single male cast member against every single female cast member. Even my player would throw down a dollar in the pot for that.
But you're probably right. Best to stick to the tradition of procrastination.

in all honesty i was not expecting anything much for a #900, mostly cause i thought you would save up your extra special mojo for the big
1-K moment

I didn't really think we'd get anything special for strip 900, since it's so close to 1000 and all, but now that Amber mentions it...
Everytime she comes on here, I find myself liking the way she thinks more and more. :giggle *silently begins rooting for strip 1000 celebratory wallpapers*

Able? :love2 Oops, was that the outside voice? really got to get that under control...
Anyway... IMHO save it for 1000, it's coming soon enough... which is damn cool. :)
My vote is for Amber to go to the local skate park, learn to do a 900, and post a video of it to Youtube.
And here I was thinking it would just be somethin' with lines n' colours n' stuff. o.o
Hmm, to do something now or to not?
I really don't care either way but if pressed I'd prefer to wait for something a bit bigger at 1000.
I'd give her another bill this year to make that celebration extra special. :D
Mmmmm... Cheesecake... <3
hmm. For Comic 900, I think Amber should take all the time she would normally use to make the comic, and go out and enjoy herself. maybe get a nice dinner, somethin nice to drink, and relax. Then just go on to 901 like nothing happened. =D
8) Everyone knows what Amber does every ''special'' 100th comic. Why not try it again, it works ...

Let us not encourage Amber to do dangerous things that are likely to cause broken bones, lest we be without updates for a long time.

Good thought. ;-]
I dunno, I kinda like the idea of a cheesecake picture for #900
If this were number 1000, I would suggest that Amber take a week off from regular updates and draw a ginormous group photo type picture featuring all characters, past and present, that have appeared in DMFA
Remember the saying that you should be careful what you wish for. I envision a strip where Amber is looking at a drawing but the audience can only see the back.
Fluffy: What do you have there?
Amber: I tried to imagine a photograph session where all the characters who have ever appeared in DMFA posed for a group picture.
Fluffy: Aren't you going to show it to the readers?
Amber: (shows a blank piece of paper to the audience)
Fluffy: But it's blank.
Amber: I imagined that the photographer forgot to take off the lens cap.
I think you have read Amber's mind, least the lazy portion. :)

Still worth it. :U
8) Out of curiousity , what is so special about the 900th strip ? True, the 100th strip showed an increase in picture quality, but apart from that, not much has changed ...
Picture quality has jumped three or four times over the course of the strip, at least.
There's the original B&W, the upgraded B&W, the big colour step, then three or so colour upgrades - adding backgrounds, upgrading the quality of the colour, etc etc.
Seriously, compare early colour strips with later colour strips. The difference is easily visible.

8) And did you notice anything about the frequency of all the updates, over time, in comparison ?

... well, since the dates aren't logged, how would you be able to tell what they are in retrospect?
I've been watching since about the wings making coffee strip, and she's been extremely consistent. Despite the claims of her fans that she can take some time off, Amber has been fairly solidly in favour of updating every week; from memory, she's had maybe 3 or 4 weeks off in three or so years.
Heck, I get more time than that off from my job, and I feel hard done by...
3 words...
SHOOP DA WHOOP!
Normally true, however there isn't much she could mistake that particular l337-5p34k for.
Anyway, I would like to see Kria on a stripper's pole, myself. Covered, of course, but barely! >:3 :mwaha
Technically, speaking people have no real concept of time when it comes to works of art... for instance a major gripe for newcomers is the inconstancy's of the artwork failing to realize the artist took years to get to the skill level they are at during any given point. Assuming that the artist has taken all of 9 months to a year to create a 900 page masterwork.
I don't get it, any artist that had that much free time they wouldn't be wasting it on Comics...and most certainly all the artwork would share a consistent quality...
also, Artists tend to find old work horrifically disgusting. I myself have three completed projects all of which are going to be recreated, expanded, condensed, or reworked into the current plot line of my own drama.

You can tell the exact time when any DMFA strip was posted. Just subtract 0.012 seconds from the time the thread for it appeared in the forum.

*snerk*
The strip has been going longer than the forum, though. Longer than the old forum, as well. What then?
...
... Run for it...
I'd say "good plan", but that would mean I'd have to stick around.

YES! Cheesecake, give us cheesecake...

Lots and lots of cheesecake, home made and sliced large.
