Grrl Power #795 – Dinner belles
So not too much to say about this page. Tammy’s just getting herself a late night snack. The ambient energy in a place like that would keep her out of a deficit, but the older she gets, her requirements will outstrip what she can absorb from the stuff just hanging around in the air.
Theoretically, as an adult she could survive like this, by hanging out near and active crime scene, as it were. Dabbler’s convinced it would never happen. But it would be like living as a level 5 vegan. It would be… unsatisfying.
My attempt to do a disgusted expression on Tamatha in panel six seems to have suddenly aged her 40 years.
Oh yeah, that silhouette in the last panel. It’s not Dabbler. Count the arms.
Edit: Whoops! Must have set the time wrong on this. Oh well, early comic, y’all!
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like!
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
A new challenger approaches, I’m intrigued by her already! Hopefully this leads to Marble Maiden showing up too!
Tech support requested!! Something deleted my ebooks.I know this has nothing to do with the comic, but I really have no where else to turn to.
So, a few weeks ago I got Tamer 1 & 2, and Dragonslayer 1-4, and have been working my way through them. The last time I had read any was on Thursday(12-5), then on Saturday(12-7) I’m at work on my break and decide to read more only to find my books gone. WTF?!
For technical details, I am using Android on a Samsung Galaxy j7. I downloaded my books as mobi files and since I could get them to sinc up with kindle, I got the “PocketBook” reader app. All my other files seem to be there(pics, and a couple of pdfs; i don’t have a lot on my phone), it seems just the ebooks were deleted.
I’m probably going to have to buy the books again, but does anyone have an idea on what the fuck happened so I can make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Thank you for your time.
*Couldn’t get them to sinc up with kindle
I don’t know where you bought the books, but most places I’ve used will allow you to log into your account and download books you have purchased again.
^ This. All sellers I know of allow re-downloading, at least a few times if not unlimited with a secure login.
Other than that, you might have some luck hooking your phone to a laptop as an external drive and using a scanner tool to recover deleted files.
Thanks for you help. The BookFunnel site doesn’t make it very clear that you have a library, it only shows a Author Login on the front page.
Yeah bookfunnel’s page needs a serious usability review.
RanmaChaos love the name, please tell me it’s based on the anime……. Ranma 1/2 is my favorite and one of my first anime series….
Buy the Tamer Books on the Authors Website. https://www.michaelscottearle.com/tamer-king-of-dinosaurs
He has been kicked off if Amazon because of some Kindle Unlimited shenanigans I know nothing about.
Tamer has become a guilty pleasure of mine and I have read all the books in the last week. Finished Book 6 just yesterday.
RanmaChaos, in general a computer does not really DELETE anything, pretty much EVER. The files are probably still there. what a computer does when it ‘deletes’ files is it removes the entry on the file system table of contents. There is recovery software available, some of it free, that will take a detailed look at your hard drive looking for ‘deleted’ files. I would try contacting the book seller first to see if they let you re download your library. That would be easier. But if that doesnt work file recovery software is an option. Its been over a decade since I worked with that myself so I’m afraid I cant offer much advice on it these days, but you can find help online if you look around.
Dave, the faces Tamatha is making are bloody adorkable!!! Its amazing rereading the comic and watching how far you have come.
Thanks! I’m pleased with how cute she’s turning out.
so when did spinnerett become a villein? I’ll have to go back and read up a bit…
Unsure if that’s a typo, but my new head-canon is that ‘villeinne’ is the feminine form of ‘villain’
Villain, is a defunct word, meaning Villager.
typo… I hit enter before I caught it…
Good idea to use it like that.
I was thinking more “Gilgamette”, who has the inexplicable ability to pull weapons out of nowhere.
Well since Spinnerette’s author is one of those ones who will call you a bigot and homophobe and nazi for so much as turning down a gay’s come ons… Guess we can’t put it past her character to attack a 14 year old girl for not being into lesbianism.
[citation needed]
thinking about it a succubi in the spinnyverse would be a “villein” ^_^ so she could be here to “stop evil” from her perspective, so well Sydney will have to convince her or stop her somehow.
[citation needed]
If I’m recalling correctly, one of Spinnerette’s first rogues also went by the name Spinnerette. Admittedly, this doesn’t appear to be her, as those leg shadows appear to be a bit too muscular. But Spinnerette also encountered a number of the Spinnerettes from the past, and they presumably also had various Evil Spinnerette rogues, who are probably all pretty varied as well. So there’s a lot of possibilities that could be covered under the name ‘Spinnerette’.
I’m guessing it’s not Spinnerette, however. Instead it’s some random-ish six-armed guy who has taken to a life of killing succubuses because he met one back in high school, and she turned him down for outputting too much vehemic energy and not enough tauntric energy. He decided right then that all succubuses were evil and has gone on a mission to exterminate them. In his mind, he will not rest until he meets the woman of his dreams.
Unfortunately for her, she’s a cross between a succubus and vehemence. She *likes* him the way he is, so she has no intention of ever actually meeting him in person
Evil Spinnerette is a drider: upper-torso of a slut, lower body of a spider
She’s more of a rival than an enemy
Long hair… Six arms…
… and you come up with ‘Spinerette’? Seriously?
It speaks of the community…
Anyway, as you can tell, six arms and all, we’re dealing with either a gegenees, an asura, or Kālī.
Now clearly, since we’re dealing with someone on a wall who’s weight isn’t breaking said wall, it’s not a giant and thus not a gegenees. Likewise, this individual has just one head, so it’s not a gegenees.
Therefore, this mystery individual MUST be Kālī.
Not a six armed midget who wears clothes made from their personal stoic of silk.
What? No, you must be wrong.
That can’t possibly…
… ok, ok…
… checking…
“…with four, eight, ten, twelve, or more arms… wears a skirt of arms…” why you no say six arms? Also, the figure above does not appear to be wearing a skirt made from arms (severed or otherwise).
I concede. The figure above can not possibly be Kālī, and may therefore might just possibly suffer from a fat-suit fetish.
Maybe it’s Arachno-Duck.
Hey, is that Kali? $#!ts about to go down.
Enough of Tamatha eating already. What is Decollete saying to Sydney?
It’s been one page, how has that possibly been ‘too much’? o_O
Until proven otherwise, probably next page, I will continue to visualize the thing on her head as another arm with a thin claw like hand at the end. LoL
Also placing bets: Monster hunting monsters,
Tamatha is actually a succubus princess, hence devil tail and wings, and was put in hiding, and this is a mercenary from a rival overlord out for her life.
Assassin after Decollete and mistaken one succubus for another
Is actually a super, who is hunting monsters/alien
Isn’t after Tamatha or Decollete, but plans to use Tamatha to get her true target, Halo, was sent by the space mafia.
or
we will never know, random moth man takes them out before they can exit the shadows; the mystery deepens.
Fun fact: in her original setting, Tamatha actually IS a demon princess.
I never told that to Dave though, because it wasn’t really relevant to her Grrlverse incarnation.
Probably not a bad idea to omit some things. Realistically for the sake of not trying to look like I am pushing my own OP power houses on another series I’d end up requesting (once I pool the money) a character I put a lot of work into making *for a contest over a decade ago* (Capcom’s Darkstalkers character contest), but have seldom used as they don’t fit well in my universe’s main stories (Albia), but part of her backstory is she is Overlord of a Subway tunnels, Sewers, and catacombs layer of a false Earth Hell world…although everything I’ve ever managed to put her in….that might as well not be a factor and clashes with her personality at this point.
So random monster that just happens to be one half futakuchionna and one half eldritch abomination tentacle monster is really all the background needed *aside from stat sheet* another series /alternate version would need really.
-I may get into moods and think *hey this superhero, demon lord, Nth level super being would be neat* but Albia is one of those that really deserves it; and would also most easily be minimalized and transferred without difficulty without being a random on the spot character.
I would suggest writing out everything about the character as you originally envisioned it and then draw it up in the old champions system (which is pretty much a superhero simulator rather than an RPG actually) 4th edition or later so if the character is used in combat DaveB can parallel your vision as to abilities and limitations and personality.
Then write a short story.
The whole process should be fun (at least I would find it so) and if you never decide to shell out for a cameo then you have preserved a snapshot of your character.
I found a folder of old NPCs (I game mastered for over 20 years) about three years ago and had a blast reading through them.
yeah Albia’s character sheet is from 2014, and likely needs a ton of revisions (made with a fighting game in mind)
https://www.deviantart.com/rhuen1/art/Albia-character-sheet-and-fighting-game-concepts-464655244
she seldom is the star of a story and usually got bit parts in the background of bigger events; I’d say, these two chapters of other series are her most outstanding moments
Chance Encounter in Japan

Both like her character sheet are pretty old, I probably need to make an updated character sheet, cut the fat from the old one *like game element stuff*, her backstory needs revised, pretty sure even her actual story backstory was changed from what is in her character sheet.
do you have a link to this champions system? I am not familiar with it.
Yeah it is fun looking back at old characters, heck I ended up writing a bunch of stuff recently after doing just that, realizing I had this eldritch/ghost entity called “The Doll Collector” I had barely touched on before so decided to write some stuff out and refine their design. I should do the same for Albia.
I would say that normal penetration is like eating a steak or mashed potatoes, mostly delicious because of the feeling of a filled stomach. (this may be a little influenced by my teenage boy diet)
Asshole penetration like eating a spicy curry: furius, maybe a little uncomfortable and challanging.
Blowjobs like eating yoghurt: easy to eat, pretty yummy, but not very special.
Vaginal stimulation sweetened porridge: easy to eat, yummy a little dull, but not very special.
Second base like eating bread: fun, but not special in any way and not very filling.
kisses are probably like candy: sweet and fun, but not very filling.
interesting how there’s a shadowy space above the washrooms, I guess either it’s for supernatural security to chill, and loom. if not I’d have thought a councilor would have had it magicked up the wazoo
Its a dance club. All of the club not directly in the beam of a strobe light is shadowy.
That way people can grope each other with a reasonable hope of it not being noticed.
There is a mezzanine platform over the restroom which can accommodate more. drinking and dancing and from which the trapeze artists seen earlier do their thing.
Yeah, butt how many have a large space above the bog? o_O
Quite a few actually, depends on if the club in question has upper floors or not.
It looks like Decollette’s is a two storey one (at least).
So, how long will it take Specs or Krona to notice the low budget Kali?
Or is the six armed intruder sexually excited about impending violence, which will alert Tamatha and Decolette?
*Counts the arms*
…Spinnerette?
I kid, but she *IS* cannon to this universe (Page 366).
Everyone thinks that’s one person, but I think it’s 3 people cleverly hidden behind the first person except for their arms.
Killer gymnast cheerleaders.
Not… the Bollywood Brawlers?!
I agree that different groups producing the tantric energy would “taste” different that makes sense I don’t know if there is a Good or bad to it anymore then there is with food
World’s most sheltered succubus ever.
Thats what happens when you homeschool exclusively, unless they have unsupervised experiences with other children they rarely can be inoculated from outsider behaviours.
But as far a knowledge as they become an adults, well fourteen year olds are usually on their own in three or four years (unless the parents are subsidizing education or unless they are incompetent in some way) and they generally assimilate everything quickly anyway.
“Must have set the time wrong on this” = That’s Sydney up there, with too many arms, and too tall, with too much hair, with too much knife in her hand, with too much angst, and without enough orbs! Wow how times have changed.
How did I not notice the shadow dude
I didn’t see it until the 3rd or 4th look. You are not alone.
I saw it, but had to look twice to realize those were arms. For some reason (probably because I was googling eldritch monster girls *for research* before checking out this page), I saw them as exaggerated Cthulhu face tentacles.
I was thinking exaggerated dreadlocks.
That is the most well marked restroom door I have ever seen. I’m just left wondering if there were more markings below Chicas? Maybe Japanese, Russian, or one of the Chinese languages?
I’m at a loss on ‘Innes.’ Anyone care to help me out?
Translate didn’t peg it as Spanish or French, I stopped guessing as Spanish is the typical second language for a sign (and Chicas already covers that anyway) and I could go on guessing for far too long, and it doesn’t appear to be slang. It is phonetically similar to “innie” as in belly button and I guess could refer to female parts in that same stripe, but that seems a bit crude, and also misspelled.
Oh wait, it is ‘Innies’ and so probably is the crude reference to female parts that I dismissed above.
Innies and outies are euphemisms used with kids.
Because they are and always have been considered far less crude than any of the biological or pornographic terms.
also bellybuttons
I’ve often seen innie and outie used for bellybuttons.
Never heard the terms used to describe people’s more interesting bits. Very descriptive, and useful.
I first saw it used this way at a private kindergarten.
I thought it was cute.
Horrible job however, none of the teachers cleaned at all, nor made the children pick up. They had a janitor two days a week and the place was filthy unless the janitor had been there the previous day.
One of my basic training instructors referred to them as ‘indoor plumbing or outdoor plumbing’ (actual quote taken from a rather amusing situation). I’d never heard that phrasing before then.
Yes, that is the use I’m familiar with also. Makes it reasonable for a male with an ‘innie’ belly button to wander into the ladies bathroom. And that would be around 90%+ of them.
A few of those incidents and the sign might be removed.
Yeah, because the other three labels leave it up to interpretation and open for confusion
I can only imagine an insanely pedantic and honest trans person standing in front of the bathrooms, wondering which one they should use.
“Well, I’m a dude, so maybe the men’s room? But I don’t have a dick, so maybe the other one?”
Well the signs have for decades referred to sex rather than gender, so go with the body parts.
Although for me personally I don’t like shared toilet facilities and I look for a locked room with a single stall. But then I don’t like music that loud and drink at most two drinks and only have alcohol as part of a meal so I wouldn’t be at a place like this anyway. Also I’m cheap and clubs like this are expensive.
And the fifth symbol we can’t see, is the figure with the triangle, which is clearly the Scots toilet (with their kilts and nothing underneath)
The one ‘innies’ sign allows any male to claim confusion, and that’s all that matters. No one can prove otherwise.
Makes me think of a panel in the webcomic vanguard that had like 10 different rest rooms for male to -female, female to male, asexual, hermafrodite, and more plus of course the regular 2.
After the 3rd panel she looks older and older and granny old. Is it intentional?
Probably not, judging from Dave’s comment blurb.
Long time lurker, just gotta say. Creepy predator alien up there looked like kt was blushong for a moment. then i realized i need glasses.
after hearing that she put her headphones back on or put them on so she couldn’t hear what they said XD
No one wants to hear that while they are feeding :P
You may have your biases, Dave, but I can see a number of reasons why “saphic tantric energy would taste better”.
You’ve established that Succubae sense arousal, apparently with even greater directional accuracy than they here sound (“The BEST sense when it tingles!”) Arousal is an emotion, a feeling. By whatever mechanic they detect it, it most like “tastes” (or feels) very comparable to experiencing arousal oneself.
Succubae are all female. “Tasting” female arousal probably feels closer to their own feelings of arousal than the arousal of males would.
You can call it a sympathetic reaction, resonance, or just compatibility, but however you choose to explain it, it probably feels just about right. ;)
Sapphic Tantric Energy is a lifesaver for a Succubus with a nut allergy.
“nut allergy” indeed. Almost missed that. :P Well done.
Tastier, yes, but ‘dude energy’ would be more plentiful. Society encourages women to ‘keep it under wraps’, while it encourages guys to horn about all they want, so it’s at least a lot easier to find.
That depends on whether the succubus feeds solely on the attraction itself, gets more from the non-consummated expression thereof, or only gets a usable boost from active consummation*.
I assume that we can cancel out consummated attractions for purposes of the comparison, since in those cases both parties are involved. Males may be less inhibited than females in expressing interest, but that doesn’t tell us about how much unexpressed attraction is going on from either side. If the nutrition comes from the interest and/or imagination, regardless of the degree of vocal expression thereof, then the succubus could get just as much energy from a woman’s internal fantasies as from a man’s more vocal oglings.
* And sticking with your unstated assumption that the comparison concentrates on 1:1 heterosexual cases, those being the most common ‘in the wild’.
*CHAOS CHAOS AND MARRY-GO-ROUNDS INTENSIFY*
Yay, early comic!
*wags tail*
Panel 4: Nice to know that Yoda a daughter had.
Feel kinda sad for the mysterious six armed person, if they are here to cause trouble. Came expecting one succubus and her protege, and encounters a cross section of ARCHON and the Council having a girls night out.
Just hope they are professional enough to have at least two different escape plans if things should blow up in their face.
Is this a new character? I don’t remember a Jester Spiderman Character…
It’s too early to tell, but if it turns out to be hunting Succubi in general then it may be a henchman sent by Thothogoth to locate Dabbler.
Speaking of Dabbler, at the alien reveal press conference she mentioned one of her parents possibly have six arms,
Mummy dearest?
Just a head’s up, the Juniper link in the sidebar of comics you like is dead.
If they had been hosted by SmackedJeeves, that could explain
Love the little wing twitch with the dreamy-drool face in panel 5
Is there a chance we can not have “child gets exposed to sex, haha” as an acceptable trope?
she’s 14.
its not like we are watching her have sex. But she is well into the birds and the bees talk territory, past it for most of us.
Hell at 14 I had a hidden porno collection, including stuff that would have made my parents blush in disbelief.
Yeah, I get it, don’t involve kids. But this is about as tame as it can get with a young teen character learning about sex who is from a species whose diet revolves around it.
I honestly found Eerie Cutie’s version much creepier where she just blossomed instantly and was like (oh now I can be an adult and shapeshift all I want and that makes it okay)..but I was like…but you are still mentally 13. Its one thing for someone that age to learn about it, mess around with kids their own age, or look at porn (you as an adult watching them do that is still creepy though so I get not wanting to see it in a comic of course); its another for the story be like…yep into it now.
If they as a species were the whole *never a child* formed from the lusts of demon lords and mortal minds, but this is a physical version of the succubus, and one without a larval phase so…yeah. This is surprisingly tame, and a welcome more human realistic take on it.
But again, just to make it clear, I get it. Its like a horror movie; you just want to see zombie gore action; but not see a blood covered crib and the realization that if it were real they’d be eating babies; sort of thing.
A subject matter probably best left to the imagination, but again praise to DaveB, handled better most have who have covered the same topic.
no, we can’t. all comic writers are irredeemable creeps. enjoy the next six hundred pages of loli succubus that totally isn’t pedobait you guys but like what if sexy things am i right haha
I am more inclined to know the dialogue coming out of panel 6.
Call it morbid curiousity.
Possibly it the return of this thing?
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-528-sneak-escape/
An encounter with Spinnerette and Mecha Maid could be fun, too. Of course, that ain’t Spinny lurking there.
some practice with basic facial anatomy would help with panel six
