"Lesbianinity" is a fun word to say.

Comment from: Kate Sith [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 5, 2006 10:35 PM

Oh man I was seriously all bummed and stuff when I came home and then I saw this and MAD GIGGLING. That was really needed.

Totally awesome stuff.

Wow. No names mentioned, no stereotypical dialogue, no distinctive flavors of coffee, no imitation of another's style, and yet ....

David Willis is very, very good.

(Incidentally, in my humble opinion, it's the "Oooh, she's hot!" that makes the strip. Just saying.)

Man, Amber is like the Anti-Billie. Take her glasses off and she becomes a bombshell... uh... of a cartoon character.

(backs away slowly, then turns and bolts)

Comment from: RoboYuji [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 5, 2006 10:59 PM

I totally miss her glasses.

Comment from: Dave Van Domelen [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 5, 2006 11:29 PM

Combine this with all the Hot Amber fanart showing up on the ShP forums. :)

Dude.

Comment from: Tangent [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 5, 2006 11:35 PM

Now if Amber were wearing the corset AND her glasses... damn man, you'd be mopping Blacknarwhal off of the floor...

Comment from: Thomas Blight [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 5, 2006 11:37 PM

Dude.

I totally have to start a comic, just to put the snarkers in it.

Comment from: Dan Vincent [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 12:17 AM

I love Glasses Girls, of which Amber is a grade A member. She looks nice without them, but it takes away part of her character.

That being said... this is genius.

Comment from: Robert Hutchinson [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 12:27 AM

Amber becomes hotter in the last panel just by being *near* hot girl glasses (and adjectify that any way you would like).

I was going to point out that Willis was actually asked/dared/somethinged to do this last week, on the shortpacked LJ, by our two hosts. I would point this out to show that Willis is not just trolling for a 'Snark. Then I realized that Willis is drawing ladies talking about kissing, and how hot one considers the other. This makes him even more of an evil bastard than 'Snark trolling would.

When i saw the dynamic duo in shortpacked, i literally POINTED at my monitor involuntarily. it was an odd moment.

Comment from: miyaa [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 2:15 AM

Imagine the money Willis would make if he made had a scantily clad non-glasses hot Amber drawing for sale.

Comment from: quiller [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 2:29 AM

David Willis does understand how hot glasses are on a girl, so it must be that he doesn't want to snap every synapse in our brains.

Comment from: Dan Severn [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 2:45 AM

Paul, you didn't include lesbian kissing in that particular comic.

And that is why you fell short.

Comment from: Abby L. [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 4:21 AM

I laughed. I believe lesbianinity will pass into my lexicon. The last panel is the best thing ever.

Comment from: Aerin [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 4:50 AM

I'm still giggling a full five minutes later. That was pure genius.

Comment from: Meagen Image [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 5:17 AM

Can't... breathe...

Damn you... Willis...

Comment from: Branitar [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 6:16 AM

And I instantly recognised them. Scary.

"And I instantly recognised them. Scary."

Like they haven't been cultivating those personas since we've known them. :)

Someone needs to setup a "Snark Spotting" community similar to the "Shive Spotting" community over on the Keenspot Forums. You two have been EVERYWHERE recently!

Comment from: 32_footsteps [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 9:39 AM

Let me see if I get this straight.

Chex merely worships Weds from afar, and Eric gets worked into a Neanderthal rage. Amber is put in a position to actually kiss her, and Eric reaches for his wallet.

Man, I feel bad for Chex. He's got too few breasts to get Eric to back down.

Comment from: Eric Burns [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 9:57 AM

Put Chex in a bustier and a nametag and we'll talk.

Comment from: Bahimiron [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 10:07 AM

Why do they keep their noses covered?

Is the naked guy smelly?

Is there a SARS crisis in the Shortpacked universe?

Is it Captain Trips?!

Comment from: Pseudowolf [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 10:33 AM

I think they're just blocking their view of anything below Faz's (naked guy's) waist. They aren't interested in his bits n' pieces, if you know what I mean.

Commented without submission.

(Ok, except for this link to the pic of how brain-meltingly hot Amber is with both bustier and glasses, but still.)

And in honor of a certain previous snark comments thread: "She sucked her freaking face off."

Comment from: Wednesday White [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 10:59 AM

Willis was actually asked/dared/somethinged to do this last week, on the shortpacked LJ

Well, in my defense, I was just like "she's hot" and Willis was all "Make out with her" and I was like "Okay!" (after checking with Eric first, I mean, it's not like I'm some sort of fictional slut).

Comment from: Vincent Avatar [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 11:36 AM

Man, Willis has pretty much ALWAYS rocked. He's from OHIO, for goodness sakes; what else could one ask of a man?

Comment from: Andrew Grilz [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 12:02 PM

Ow.

I've fallen out of my chair laughing.

It's the 'Oboyoboyoboy!' look on his face.

I know that face.

THAT was funny.

Comment from: Ford Dent [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 12:26 PM

"Oooh, she's hot!"

I think I laughed for a good fifteen, twenty minutes.

This is why we love Willis, seriously. The man is genius.

Comment from: Freak [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 12:47 PM

Where on LJ did Eric / Weds this dare?

Comment from: PatMan [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 1:05 PM

Wherein Wednesday is tempted unto sin.

And you may say to yourself, "where is my lesbian necking reference?" And you may say to yourself, "this is not my beautiful lesbian loveshack"

Put Chex in a bustier and a nametag and we'll talk.

Oh dear God Kris where are you, you must do this. It is an imperative.

Comment from: Paul Gadzikowski [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 5:09 PM

Dan - maybe someday I'll learn.

Yeah, I know. Willis was somethinged. I didn't just make that word up.

I think Kris is busy crying, after having to (temporarily) hand back the rotating Incestuous Webcomickry Achievement trophy.

Comment from: Kris@WLP [TypeKey Profile Page] posted at March 6, 2006 6:28 PM

I really, really doubt you'd want such a meme to be used at WLP.

At least, not you and Wed. Snarky, on the other hand, is fair game. }:-{D

"Oh dear God Kris where are you, you must do this. It is an imperative."

Are you trying to get my brain to explode? (actually too late, my brain exploded at the meme "Incestuous Webcomickry Achievement trophy", but how were you to know that?).
