"Come on and Slamber, and welcome to the Jamber!"

5099 5618 v2.0

Hang on, how many alters are in her system? I thought it was just Amber and Mazie (though I admit, I have been distracted)

Andrea Andrew

So Slammer is the third personality that was roller skating and making out with Sal, I mean, staring at Sal, I mean, playing for the other team. I said what I said.

MrShoggoth

Pretty sure that it’s Amazi-Girl being sarcastic and wanting the conversation to end

Logibear

Slamber sounds fun. I wonder if we'll ever meet Jamber, the punk rock alter

jafortee

Missed opportunity to name herself Kablamber

5099 5618 v2.0

@AA Is Marcie on the other team, too? I figure she'd want to be on Sal's team, is why I ask.

Jamie (QueenofSodor)

Slamber is what Amazi-Girl goes by during roller derby! As Booster says here.

Andrea Andrew

Plays for the other team is an expression.

David M Willis

Slamber is just Amazi-Girl. Amazi-Girl can't play roller derby as Amazi-Girl, and everyone there would recognize Amber, so Amazi-Girl pretends to be Amber, with the roller derby name of Slamber.

Dan Rabin

Just the two, but Booster doesn't know that Amazi-Girl is an alter, and the entire population of that body would probably prefer not to tell any new people. Amazi-Girl uses "Slamber" as her roller-derby name, and that name is not secret.

Astariel

Hm, is Amazi-Girl just practicing routine caution, or does she not trust Booster specifically for some reason?

5099 5618 v2.0

@AA (I know, was attempting to play along. I say sorry; will try harder next time)

Star Ringer

I believe Booster knows Amber is plural, but no more than that. One alter or a dozen is still plural.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Astariel Why would she trust Booster with more information? They're awfully good at getting more info from people than those people are seeking to share, as is.

GundamBradley

I assume that she is just trying to differentiate without outing herself to Booster as Amazi-Girl. That said, this would be an interesting way of discovering a third personality.

Dan Rabin

I think it's Amazi-Girl on the roller-derby team—at least Sal addresses her by that name just after the match, and there is no objection.

Andrea Andrew

Booster seems to have been absent a lot lately. Their sister seems to get more screen time because she’s dating Carla.

5099 5618 v2.0

@jafortee The night is young and the age is dumbing. There's still time

5099 5618 v2.0

@GundamBradley Maybe a referee, or someone who just does admin and usually doesn't wish to step outside? (I think Crazy Jane had an alter like that, in Doom Patrol)

Buck Caldwell

Bit of column A, bit of column B... I don't know that they really have that much interaction time in the comic. I could be wrong, my memory is a haze thanks to chronic pain meds.

LupinThe8th

Just don't bring up Clamber, the one who's secretly double majoring in Marine Biology.

Harold

So Amazi-Girl doesn't trust Booster enough to fully reveal her identity. I wonder if Amber feels the same. Trying to catalog how many people *know* know about Amber and A-G. I count Walky, Ethan, Dina, Danny, Joyce, Dorothy, Sal, Becky, Sarah, Asher (he now knows Amber and A-G share a body, at least), possibly Ruth (not sure), and I think that might be it. Am I missing anyone?

Astariel

Cause Booster is Walky's roommate and isn't making any objections to her hiding in their room, despite it being at least a bit risky? I agree, she has plenty of reason not to be honest with Booster. I'm just wondering what her thought process is.

Dan Rabin

Another interesting mix of one-character visual sequence with an offscreen dialogue participant. Booster is being as polite as possible here, but Amazi-Girl can't risk her identity being known even more widely. ("Slamber" is her roller-derby name: I'd post a link, but multiple-character-tags aren't working on the main site right now). Two different forefinger gestures from Booster; their right arm is seen closing the door in the first panel, so they seem to understand that discretion is required. Contrast Joyce.

Astariel

Jennifer knows, she just doesn't believe it.

Lisa

Isn't the door open the whole time? I think they're _opening_ it in the first panel. (That being said, I appreciate your attention to that detail, which I had missed.)

Astariel

Really? Feels like Booster has shown up a fair amount lately, between dealing with Walky's depression and Amber hiding in their room. Meanwhile, we haven't seen Charlie in nearly a year. This was her most recent strip, dated July 19 last year. https://www.dumbingofage.com/comic/supplier/

Irene Knapp

haha, wow. she coped well with being unexpectedly perceived.

KiasyonSFM

Oh goodness, Amazi-girl and Booster minutes. Didn't know I need this until now!

Giant Speck

I can’t wait until we get to the cruel, cruel summer so we can meet Bananaramber.

Logibear

Clamber also enjoys hiking up rocky outcrops.

Gale Tazzin

"obviously Amber can't be Amazi-Girl, y'all are just reading too much into her derby persona" - billie when she hears of this

Tessea

Amazi-Gir's secret identity: Maizie 'Slamber' O'Malley

Harold

@Giant Speck: It will be hard to top yours - kudos. Anyway, let's not forget her fashionista alter, Glamber

Preventer Wind

Is Slamber the person who wants to be slamming her hips down on Walky's? I know I'm wrong, it's her roller derby name. But still.

Amós Batista

Ugh, I hate when I have to think quickiy in bed.

Andrea Andrew

Dang it. Well, at least we’re getting more of her soon.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Preventer Wind I think A wants Walky and S wants Sal. At least, that seems to be what was implied (?)

5099 5618 v2.0

(although "would totally be into Sal if she was into ladies" is kind of ubiquitous among the cast, so I'm not sure that counts for much)

Andrea Andrew

I know, but I feel like Amber’s dissociative identity disorder can be explored more. Maybe David can pull a Yu Yu Hakusho and have Amber retreat while she recovers and have more personalities take over.

Ph

The door looks open the whole time to me. Is the background not the hallway and room on the other side? It looks like Booster just entered the room and hasn't closed the door.
