     Nope. The cahpter’s title says specifically that Mike will NOT Fuck Ambers Mom.

   Oh, Amber, Amber, Amber. I know you’re distracted, but I’m about to fall asleep and even now I can think of THREE ways Mike and the phone, unsupervised, can go pear-shaped before you can say “Amber is great. Another victory for Amber. The Amberlanche is unstoppable.”

     Good call. Frankly, this whole Faz/Amber thing is milquetoast. The real drama lies in what a sober Mike will do with that phone.

     Amber is probably the most emotionally unbalanced and, by far, the most disturbing character in this strip. Are there really folks attracted to that kind of person?

     Yeah … probably. Find a phantasmogagoric personality, put glasses on it, and the virgins will hoot for more.

       You mean are there people who are attracted to characters that are believable as people? I’d hope so. I’ll admit she’s not low maintenance, but the fact that she’s flawed and has emotional needs shouldn’t be a turn off. She’s the best of all worlds. She’s been hurt and can be emotionally vulnerable which appeals to the common desire to be the protector. On the other hand she’s strong willed, liberated, and adept at getting what she wants which appeals to our desire to find a woman we can respect. She’s also domineering which can appeal to less common desires (fetishes), but for those who do not have this last point it can be written off as part of her whole she’s been hurt and I want to protect her thing.

       If all we wanted was for virgins to hoot for more then large breasts and an overactive libido would have been a much more direct route.

    Amber needs to focus her worries on Faz finding out this little secret. If he was annoying as a Beau, he’ll be worse as a little brother.

      Honestly? As creepy as Faz is, do you think finding out he’s blood-related will /stop/ him from hitting on her? It’ll be the worst of two worlds.

      (That face made me die laughing and probably disturbed my neighbors.)

    Faz?

    It’s all in Amber’s head anyway. The only reason her hair parts that way is because she chose to part it that way. At the start of the strip, her hair parted down the middle, and it certainly didn’t bob like that. That stuff didn’t come by till she decided to get a makeover.
    If anything… she deliberately decided to start looking more like Faz.

    Also, Willis, are you aware your Archive links no longer work?

    Think about it. This means that, from now on, we will subconsciously check to see if that new person is related to Amber. Some of us will go back through the archives to see who else there is. We are doomed to an eternity of seeing family members and potential Ambercest EVERYWHERE. Willis, you sick monster, what have you done?
