Grrl Power #106 – The very best sense
This page exists mostly to establish the existence of porno sense, which amuses me tremendously. Also I’m pleased with “psionoclast” which doesn’t actually make any sense but it seems like one of those quasi-portmanteaus you’re likely to read in fiction. Weird that Dabbler didn’t know “indistinct” yet she can bust out nonsense like psionoclast. I guess she’s been focusing her English study on science and… comic books I guess.
So we don’t know exactly who “tingles” is yet, but this page tells you basically most everything but the name. BTW “tingles” (oy, that name is going to stick) is aware sound occlusion is an issue with stealth, but it’s one thing to avoid blocking an obvious audio source like a TV or even a humming vending machine, but Dabbler’s hearing is good enough that even creating a void in the ambient room noise from lighting fixtures or air conditioning is enough to make her suspicious.
I have a new vote incentive up, which is a work in progress. Read up on it here and vote in the usual place. When it’s done it will be wallpaper/fanart starring Dabbler and Zintel from Flaky Pastry, which is quite recently one of my favorite webcomics. Maybe throw them a vote as well if you enjoy it. I think it’d be kind of funny to try and knock Félix up into the top 10 for a week, see if he can figure out what’s going on. Hi Félix! :)
Anyone else betting that “Tingles” is female?
Not with THOSE shoulders.
it would be a suit, like the Phantasm.
“could” I meant to say “could” be a suit not “would” be.
I’ve seen a few women with “manly shoulders” usually athletes or body-builders. Did you see the shoulders on that US gold-medal swimmer? Yet I found her quite attractive.
Some women just have broad shoulders…and some men have wide hips.
Also, it could just be the get up.
Not a lesbian. Not a lesbian!
I’ve called it a couple of times now. We shall see what happens.
With a name like David…I would hope not :p
Indeed, we shall have to see how this goes.
Yes, just because Dave seems to like drawing women more than men
The coat reminds me of the coat Carmen San Diego wore in the computer games.
Pinging DaveB https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/564593_384116151656713_1190590688_n.jpg this is so Sydney’s handiwork if she used to work at a lab at a local college… settlement probably is why she had money to travel and buy comic book store instead. Sure lab didn’t fight the lawsuit and shoved the money at her to get her the hell away from the cool things…I mean dangerous toys…I mean just pay her and make her swear to never step foot on campus again…
That’s hilarious! that and I could totally seeher putting utp that sign, lol, thanks for posting it!
I cant get to image.
I -was- wondering about that, actually!
Well hey, thank you for the boost, sir! :)
Second panel is AWESOME!
I’ve never liked that big single sweat drop bit on people’s faces, but at least it has some logic. On a mask though, it’s juist wrong.
It’s like an emote to indicate nervousness. How else do you show an emotion you can detect in life in a 2d silent environment?
Sidney and Xuriel, good friends. I rest my case.
P.S. BWAHAHAHAhahahahaha!
The blush response is so enticing and fetching. I wonder if Xuriel can blush and if so would we be able to see it?
I want to know what would make Dabbler blush!
Love the second panel. There’s nothing hotter than a female genius fiercely vindicated.
Too true, all too true. }:>)
Awaiting Monday. :D
Awaiting 6am.
Grrr…I’m still pissed off at NCSoft cancelling City of Heroes/City of Villains out of the blue…the oldest, most popular superhero MMO, and it’s just “Dev team: You’re fired. We’re shutting the game down in 3 months.” I’d go off on a Halo-esque cursing streak, but I’m not nearly as creative in my obscenities as she is…
Hey anyone know what all the symbols mean on the cast page, I thought I knew what all of them were but then Math got what I thought was the energy beam symbol… ok so he might have that power if dragonball has anything to say about it but still not his skill set
Just to put this out there, but Dragon Ball is far from the first to give Martial Artists energy/chi projection; in fact its actually an “old myth” from way back in the day (The Armor Piercing Move) AKA the Fist that Strikes from Across the Hall. Its like the whole Ninja’s can catch arrows and swords in their hands. The latter being a palm blade. The Martial Arts thing was the first being a mighty blow that can hit vital points even through armor, and the second being a blow that can send chi/ki through the air to hit an opponent at a distance. Naturally add in some elemental stuff, exagerations, and you get Hadokens and Beam blasts.
Yes but dragonball was the easiest most well known reference
What about FALCON PUUUNCH!ing?
I presume they’re logos for that particular super, for marketing purposes. Note that these symbols appear on the collars the girls are wearing.
They may or may not carry other meanings. Certainly Dabbler’s is obvious.
I presume we’ll find out more when Sydney is issued one.
(FWIW, I’ve known two ladies named Sydney, both strong characters.)
On my comment of yesterday, I wonder what Halo really would say about NCSoft’s utter betrayal of their City of Heroes Customers and the dev team? We know she’s a gamer…

oops…wrong day.
The suffix, clast, means to destroy or destroyer.
You know I once had a friend who had the opposite of a porno sense. Whenever he bought porn it turned out to be either terrible or horrifying, like when he came home after buying the one magazine in the store full of granny porn.
I think Sydney just became Dabbler’s favorite person now. Not sure if I should congratulate her or pity her.
So this dude is an Ohio Class submarine. The only way to find it is to look for the area completely void of any noise.
I love the variety of expressions on Dabbler’s face on this page.
I could use a “porn sense” myself. Wouldn’t that be delicious? Rather surprised that Sydney is blushing there. I thought she had no thought of embarrassment.
She said it in public. Oops.
Where’s Waldo?
Hi.
There you are!
*tags*
I win. Whee!, I like this game.
*rolls over and plays dead*
I think spider sense would actually be a cockblock. Exept if you are banging a assassin who use sex as a way to get pass your defense. -bunch of hip thurst, stop hidden blade, bunch of hip thrust, dodge point blank bullet, bunch of hip thrust, get out of choking position, thrust, knock out assassin with orgasm, one liner-
Humans actually can learn ecolocation
In a crude manner, sure. Anybody who has stood in a cave and shouted to hear the echos is getting some idea of how big the void is. With practice I am sure that can be refined. And a specialised sound generator will help to optimise that.
Probably not up to Daredevil’s standards mind.
> Chimyriad is a cameo character, and technically this is their second appearance. (The prior one being the previous page)
Previous page? He made first appearance around page #100! This link is few pages after that where he speaks the first time.

No, that’s X, who has some kind of invisibility power. Chimyriad is a shapeshifter, who, in the page you’re commenting about, has shapeshifted to look like X.
“psionoclast” sounds like someone that destroys psionics, like how “iconoclast” is someone who destroys icons.
