That’s how we know Charlie will be okay.

2024-10-13 19:30:29 +0000 UTCAs always, great insight into the process. How often does something like that happen (i.e., needing to rewrite a strip because even you, the creator, have misremembered details like "oh, wait, Character A doesn't actually know [X] about Character B," etc.)?

2024-10-13 17:44:00 +0000 UTCThe reasoning for the script assist was I wrote an AMAZING punchline (according to me) that unfortunately relied on Carla thinking Amazi-Girl is who was on her derby team. Unfortunately, Amazi-Girl does play on Carla's derby team, but everyone thinks she's Amber (whose Derby name is "Slamber"). So I had to workshop something different. I don't... remember what the original punchline was, as I didn't save it, like a fool, but Wack'd helped me sort out what else Carla could say.

2024-10-13 17:29:15 +0000 UTCOff topic (but kind of not really): There is now a lovely preview panel (dated July 18, 2025) on the DoA Tumblr depicting Carla and Charlie in Carla's room, sharing a comfortable silence while doing different things. (There was a previous preview panel of the two of them, but there's a serenity to this one that's just wonderful.)

2024-10-13 11:17:51 +0000 UTCBorderless panel 2 highlights Amazi-Girl crouching down on the roof so nobody on the ground can see her put the mask on: Carla doesn't know about the shared body. A-G being "off the clock" is very touching. She seems to want to spend the day just chilling on roofs, but her concern for Dina looks likely to intrude on the idyll.

2024-10-13 10:33:58 +0000 UTC@Andrea Andrew: Carla's obliviousness is even worse than that - reminder that her roller-derby teammate IS Amazi-Girl (not Amber).
Harold
2024-10-13 05:01:27 +0000 UTCOf course Carla can’t tell that Amber and AG are part of the same person.

2024-10-13 04:44:41 +0000 UTC@Lisa: Of course she knows their names! There's Not-Carla #1, Not-Carla #2 ...

2024-10-13 04:27:49 +0000 UTCWell, she wouldn't SEE her, no

2024-10-13 04:24:17 +0000 UTC... Did Carla never learn her teammates' names?
Lisa
2024-10-13 04:22:03 +0000 UTCCarla's right though, I don't think Amazi-Girl saw the girl she's talking about.

2024-10-13 03:58:13 +0000 UTCCarla: there’s a girl on my roller derby team that looks just like you! Amazi girl: 😑
