2016/04/25 [DMFA #1660]: Time to question...

... everything we know about Amazons.

I remember they told us at school that Amazons used to burn their daughters' right breasts in Greek mythology in order to get em boobs out of the way for archery, hence the term "a-mazos" meaning "without a breast". But it turns out all Greek depictions of Amazons show women with a complete set of bazookas, so historians don't believe in that pseudo-etymological horror story any more...

What about a transgender person using female pronouns... could they become an amazon? And if being a maiden is based on the physical rather than the spiritual... Dan has been turned into an amazon back when he posed as Quintinga's daughter for a reporter at Lost Lake. Well, anyway Danna has been considered an amazon before. I guess the irony thickens.

p.s. Called it.

Is this seriously how these strips happen?
People ask a random question here on the forums or start discussing a topic and *poof*?

If so, that is actually amaze-balls.
Points to Mab for being so involved with her fan-base. Like seriously.

Btw, idk if it's just me, but I love the new hairstyle.

Sometimes, if the question is important enough and Mab is in just the right mood...

Charmander! Burn! Purge! Kill!

*cough* On-topic, I never really questioned the rules regarding Amazons until these last few strips. I just sort of assumed there were multiple tribes, and let it slide.

does this mean Alexi qualifies an Amazon?

Until someone said that Tikka was an Amazon, and that it was an Amazon rule regarding how she talked, I didn't give it a lot of thought, but I'll admit that I'm used to settings where even if the Amazonian tribes aren't united they do share all of the same religious rules. I think this might be the first one that doesn't.

At least an honorary one, I'd presume. She may not lead the lifestyle but she's clearly an accomplished fighter in her own right, having been defeated only thrice.

Here, have some penicillin.

What about the Super Bugs? Is it Mystical Penicillin so it can work on them as well?
