Grrl Power#20 – Try just one, you won’t get hooked I swear
This isn’t a tacit endorsement of The Walking Dead necessarily, I just needed something that might catch her attention with a quick glance and frankly I’m not reading a lot of mainstream comics these days, so I didn’t have a large set of titles to pull off the top of my head.
What I am reading (besides Gold Digger of course) is AIKI, which is available at Mangafox, but that’s a martial arts themed harem manga drawn by Isutoshi, a guy who’s known primarily for smut and excellent cheesecake, so I didn’t think Olivia would be super entertained by that.
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.
well at the time yeah that would be a pretty crumby christmas what withyour mom and aunt fighting over whom get to shag your dad your grandma making light of the entire situation yet utterly cool with it knowing your cousin is your half sibling but thinking back it is fairly funny and is in all actuality one of the best memories you have from you child hood spceialy if it got out that your dad is yoru cousin’s dad, oh the teasing and torment the kids would put you through
Zombies. Have you ever thought about zombies? Man. It would suck to be Patient Zero. I mean, everyone else has a chance to escape, but poor Patient Zero was there before it was identified, and probably turned around to bite a dude or dudette he knows right in the face.
Man. That would SUCK. Unless its airborne. Then we’re all screwed. Well, water spread too… or insect, or rat…
hmh.
I hope biting spreads the zombie plague…
Oh. What were we talking about? Oh, yeah. Still enjoying your body proportions. Heads, in response, do seem just a little off, but at the same time, I think it adds a little charm to your comic. Its a very unique style that caught my eye, and I only follow four comics. This one is now one of them.
Also. Smut? Cheesecake? I am intrigued. By both the picture term of cheesecake and the concept of actual cheesecake.
Man. I love cheesecake, all cakey and cheesy…
Of course, if you’re patient zero in the zombie outbreak, that might just mean that you become the king zombie. Or the Tyrant boss monster, immune to everything but rockets.
It will be interesting how my art changes/evolves once I start bringing in the “proper” super hero characters, which is the stuff I’m more used to drawing.
Just keep up the practice on drawing all sizes of people. We know of the “Most Common Superpower,” but there are people who prefer petite!
Hey, Tyrants also had that vulnerable… you know.
Pulsing heart.
But being a Land of the Dead style big daddy would not be so bad.
And yeah, Just looking at the teaser intro and the cast images shows you’re really good at the muscles. I love muscles. There are too few people who can draw a properly badass looking superwoman.
was rereading archives for fun and remembers this was comic that got me hooked on walking dead. Damn you !! and uhm thanks
Think Olivia might be into yaoi or even straight up bishounen a la “Here’s Greenwood?”
no offence but the mouth looks funny in panel 2.
Yeah it’s supposed to be an off kilter anime mouth kind of like this only not shocked, more, exasperated. It’s harder to pull off than you’d think, and I’m hardly an expert at that sort of thing. But hey, hopefully I’ll get better fast.
I’m an avid lovr of all female body shapes and statures from short adn tall to large and small from trim and fit to big and unfit a woman is a woman every one is a pericious and delicate snow flake with their on natural beauty some true enough you have to look really hard for but tho in the case of Maxima I’m going to have to admit she’s more of hail stone hard and bitter but you cant deny it still fun to watch hail fall even if it smashes in your windshield on your car or destroys something else you own sure you get mad but you never seem to get mad at the hail now do we , anvil might be a hail stone too but im inclinded to think shes just a very large snow flake the kind that makes for good sliding snow
Also on the cheese cake thing KeriasN i make awesome cheesecake i can never just make one it gets eaten way to fast but yes a good cheese cake should be creamy and with a hint of lemon on lessyour making a strawberry/raspberry and vanilla cheese cake then its should ovbiouvly have more of a strawberry or raspberry flavor bothare very good tho the one i can wrap my head around tho is chocolate cheese cake
Hey is the page loading really god damned slow for anyone else? I’m hoping not cause it’s taking like 30-45 seconds to pull up for me.
Considering it took me 20-30 seconds just to load this reply window…I’d say yes.
Hey, love the comic! Long time reader first time poster.
Yes really slow, was doing it yesterday too. I will admit it was slower yesterday then today as most of yesterday it was timing out.
Ok these load times are unacceptable. I’ve contacted the hosting provider and they’re going to switch from a single server to a distributed one, but that means the site will be down for a day or two. I’ll leave this message here for a while then hit the go button for them to start the transfer. Should be super snappy once it comes up. I’ll post updates on the facebook page and on twitter, so fan me/friend me, whatever your flavor is.
At least, they told me the site would be down for “up to 3 days” but it seems much snappier now, by which I mean it actually loads. Maybe they already did it, maybe they resolved the issue the server this page is located on was having, but the page will still suddenly disappear tomorrow for 24 hours. Who knows. But the good news is that it’s fast now, if it goes down it’ll be fast when it comes up again.
And as an added bonus, the plot will actually advance starting next comic! Woo progress all around!
Looks like they already did it. Probably one of the few advantages of only having 20 posts is that the entire site, images, database and all, takes about 30 seconds to shoot over to the new servers.
Wooo plot!
I love plot, it is awesome :p
Wonderful, funny comic. It’s slow as hell, of course, I but I have faith it’ll speed up once you get your rhythm down. You probably shouldn’t have started this as a flashback, since it was a bit of a time waster, but now I’m just being picky.
Well originally it was supposed to be sort of a surprise that the comic was about superheroes, like you’re reading along about some girl working in a comic book store and then boom, superheroes, but when I built the website, I would have had to do so and hidden all the superhero stuff for a few dozen updates and then rebuild the site once the reveal had hit, plus all the promotion up to that point would have had to have been a red herring too, so I thought, why not get this out of the way up front. So yeah technically this is a flashback, but Big Trouble in Little China was all in flashback too – a flashback that never caught back up with itself, and since there aren’t any hanging plot elements waiting on the flashback to catch up in order to resolve, it’s… only technically a flashback. At some point in the future, you can be sure that Sydney will go to work, as a superhero, and Anvil will be wearing a shirt that makes a reference to the fact that she’s well endowed, and at that point you can assume the flashback is resolved.
I dont know dave cuz that could be a flash back of soe one else like one of Harems other selves or could be of Syd’s Arch and he or she has been spying on her for some time and they are re counting the events of syd’s life cuz as we all know most arch’s are or were once really close to their super
Or, you could end it on a funny note, with Sydney clobbering Harem and shouting, “Dammit! Stop narrating my origin story! I can do that myself!”
I’m quite charmed by this comic already. I hope you have nothing but success, get a set update schedule down, and maybe by this time next year you could be selling me graphic novels of ‘Grrl Power’ lol
It updates every monday like clock work
Ah, I see that now. Good, good.
Can someone set that clock ahead? I hate waiting.
Also, love the artwork, and the story looks like it has potential, Keep it up!
You and me both, but paying the mortgage does take some time away from me each week unfortunately. The good news is that I did actually draw 3 pages over the last 2 weeks, in order to rebuild some of the buffer I lost over the holidays, so I am getting a little faster. One of these days I may even be able to post 2 comics a week and still put food on my back and clothes in my mouth.
Of course, in the next few comics, we’ll be venturing out in to the bright scary world and that means all new locations to draw and people to meet. On the plus side, a few of those pages are already done, on the down side I drew them probably a year ago so we’ll see if the art is too jarring. Also I used Sketchup to make some of the backgrounds which I’ve basically decided I don’t like that much. It looks too computery for my tastes so I’ll probably have to redraw bits of some of the stuff in my buffer to satisfy myself at least.
Glad you like it!
I’m basically doing a zombie thing right now…or vampires…or ghosts…or weeping angels
really, I’m not sure what sort of undead remnants would count as…just that they creepy as hell and they don’t move while I’m describing them…
Tony’s expression is priceless in panel 2 btw
kthxbai
my life is a sitcom
Wooo! I was liking this comic already and then I find you’re a Fred Perry fan too! Gold Digger FTW! New favorite webcomic!
UGH. worst christmas present ever…. grinned when i saw that
AIKI !!! AIKI!!! have you read the latest by the way?
As with nearly all my reading I’m several issues behind. Actually with AIKI I might be 10 or more behind. :P
Come on Sydney basic crack dealer business practice number one. Always give the first sample of the product for free, sink the hook, then make them pay, pay, and pay.
“Ridiculously Photogenic Pair” panel one!
The door handles change yet again. That’s the style of door handle my comic shop has.
So far as I’ve checked, the door handle hasn’t been portrayed since #16 (archive #147). Here we should be seeing, in panels 2, 3, and 4, the inside-of-door push-bar, instead of the pull-handle that belongs on the outside of the door. (Well, that handle could be visible through the glass.) But at least the pull-handle is on the correct left/right side of the door, even though it is backward with respect to how it attaches to the door-frame.
I’ll also mention the very next comic-page, which shows the shop from the outside, and the pull-handle is correctly located/attached. However the inside-of-door push-bar should be visible through the glass of the door, and it isn’t.
Highlighting test comment.
i’ve read Aiki before. i loved that series. though i got to say that main character is the worst protagonist i’ve ever seen. just the worse. ever of all time. *not story wise personality wise.
the tape recorder is comedy gold
