   “do not want” should have been what Amber screams here

     No way. The traditional “big no” is waaaaaaaaay more awesome than the recent memetic mutation.

             No.
             It’s DAMN YOU WILLIS. And it is not shouted, but rather said in a deep, serious tone of voice, like you mean it. Because you do.

             DAMN YOU WILLIS.

   I’m gonna guess that tomorrow’s comic will just be the same image with Amber yelling “-OOOOOOOOOO!” Monday is her telling Mike. Friday is the funeral of the Faz. No one attends.

       Or her best impression of anyone else who has ever screamed the word “No” before.

    So she did fuck Faz? I don’t understand why she would be so disturbed unless she did so. I’d expect a full body shudder instead of a full no.

      A fuck is the past. Family is forever.

      (No, she didn’t. She explicitly SAID she hadn’t, like, YESTERDAY.)

        Yeah, but she was saying it to her MOM. Would you come right out and say, “Yeah, I banged the weird guy” to your mom? Well you probably wouldn’t because you’re a married dude, but you know what I’m getting at here…

          More to the point, Amber doesn’t want to remember the experience–doesn’t want to admit it to herself. That she and Faz fucked is obvious here. Otherwise, the “Nooo” is an completely inappropriate reaction.

            I remember watching Empire Strikes Back for the first time, and after Luke screamed “NOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOO” after finding out Darth Vader was his dad, I knew at that moment that he must have fucked him or it didn’t make any sense.

            Are you serious?

            You don’t think that discovering you might be related, by blood, to that faz thing is worth a bit of mega-angst?

            I am pretty sure finding out that “the great” faz is related to you is a pretty horrible realization and an over the top reaction such as this is rightly justified. A big nooo does not seem appropriate when finding out you had relations with a relative. Is that really what you would say if that happened to you? Plus it is faz….extreme denial seems appropriate, but not like this.

        A NOOOOO is reserved for accidentally banging a close relative, accidentally killing a loved one, accidentally killing anyone, or finding out that your evil nemesis, the man you have invested all hatred towards in the world, is actually your father.

        Full body shivers is reserved for finding out some creepy dude who has been perving on you may actually be related to you. Screaming out in anguish just seems overstated.

          The point of the “Big No” IS to overstate, you goof. It’s purposefully melodramatic. Nobody DOES it. It’s Narm.

          Go under the comic, find the “big no” tag, and go find another strip where someone NO!s to something about not having sex with somebody.

          (That said, Faz is NOT someone Amber has the utmost hatred for? Whaaaat?)

    i’d guess if she did ‘do the deed’ with faz, the next shot would be of Amber curled up in the corner of the shower trying to scrub the taint off…

    but she didn’t, so it would be more likely a shot of her lying awake in bed, horrified at the prospect that she’s related to faz.

    Let’s hope that while they’re quarreling about silly things like family, that Mike is sobering up and defeating the robot. A dinosaur cannot best a robot alone. Also, the dinosaur needs to be killed.

    Anyone else think that the Between Failures advert above the comic mentions Beast Wars specifically because of it being here? Only it would be way too much of a coincidence for the creator to have made the ad without knowing Shortpacked in advance.
