Grrl Power #295 – Ovareaction
I’m sure no woman has ever done this. I’m also fairly certain most women have wanted to. Yes that’s right, Book 2 opens with our heroine punching herself in the ovaries. That should set the tone nicely. Eventually I will go back in and draw a splash page to insert before this one indicating the new chapter.
I thought a lot about whether book 2 would just start with the next day or jump ahead a few months, maybe to catch us up with the flash forward at the beginning of the comic, but I knew if I did that, then half the comic would wind up being flashbacks to Sydney going through basic training because there’s a whole lot of humor to mine there. Plus my favorite part of most superhero stories is the origin tale slash discovery phase where they’re learning about their powers and limitations. (Except when a movie studio is rebooting a franchise for the third time and for some reason feel the need to retread the origin story. It’s like sitting through a long joke that you already know the punchline to. Everybody knows Superman is from Krypton and Spider-Man got bitten by a spider!) But don’t worry, day two will not take another 300 pages to get through, in fact I think book two should cover several weeks of time.
Also, evidently Sydney’s version of quarters is played with 20-siders – although the 20-sider in panel 5 seems to be sitting outside of her bowel, which is… concerning, now that I think about it. In any case I may have taken some liberties with the background of that panel. Sydney does not, for example, have a broken Guyver unit where one of her kidneys should be. The dragon thing is probably true though.

Well, at least sydney is toothless down south. That would be a problem for anyone she was interested in a relationship with.
That’s not exactly shown…
Toothless is the name of the dragon depicted, stormseed.
It’s okay bones, I get the joke :)
“Toothless”?
You got me cracking up XD.
Why would some teeth down there be a problem? Mouths has teeth too and oral is a thing.
But “here be dragons”? Is it a baddragon add?
sydney WHYYYYY
don’t you know to use a heating pad
-_-
An arrow labeled “here be dragons” pointing in the general region of her fiddly bits…
Dragons….
Bad ones?
I hate to point out flaws, but shouldn’t Sydney’s choker/necklace be on? She had it on last page, didn’t she?
At the start of it yes. But she was getting undressed, during that page. By the last two panels it is no longer visible. Either she had already taken it off, or (if it is simply hidden by the bedding), she will have finished removing the uncomfortable items, before zonking out again.
Odd… whenever I get cramps I never got the idea to utilize a Falcon Punch. I’ve gotta try that.
I would not recomend it – unless you want a better idea of what a guy feels when he gets kicked in the… well I think you get the idea.
I don’t think a gal’s gonads would appreciate the experiece any more than a guy’s would.
Some years ago, I discovered that a slug to the lower abdomen (right between the hips) results in the same kind of gut-pain that follows a blow to the testicles – in other words; a gal’s gonads (ovaries) may be better protected from injury than than those of a guy, but they’ll cause just as much unpleasantness for her if the location where they are is hit.
Hair down isn’t a bad look for Sydney. Maybe some contacts or sexy lady glasses? Kinda has an Ino Yamanaka thing going with the bangs in front and loose in back.
Snort. Har har! I finally spotted it. Nice one Dave. A six-day delayed realisation. You make me appreciate what life must be like for Heatwave!

Especially given an incident I once had. I used to walk past a hospital, on my way to work. Periodically, I would see a snazzy sports car, parked in the “Ambulances only” bay outside the entrance. Given how frequent that happened, and the penalties that would be faced for violating such a restriction, I figured that it could only belong to a doctor. One who got called in, when there was an emergency, and could justify parking there, as there was no other parking nearby.
Notably, the number plate read “A1 OVUM”. Which always made me chuckle.
One day, I saw the car pull up, into that spot, and a guy stepping out of it. Which provoked a comment, from me.
“Oh, I really expected you to be a female doctor, from your number plate.”
To which, he replied. “Not a female doctor, but a doctor of females.”
I debated spelling the title of the page Ovaryaction, but I think people would have read that as Ovary Action instead of Ova-re-action.
I…er, I can’t say I’ve done a flip but that’s not to say I haven’t punched myself in the gut because of cramps. It was not my proudest moment.
I love the look of Sidney’s hair in panel three. and the look on her face in panel 4 is just adorable.
Hair nice, check. Mmm. No mention of the eye though.
*adds a check to a new column, “Freaky eye, but too polite to mention it”.*
FALLOPIAN PUNCH!!!!
but in all seriousness. Panel 3.
Hopefully we get to see more shots of her with a normal (non-crazed) smile. Cause G’Damn, that’s some major league cute she’s got going on.
I really, really like her with her hair down like this.
Four page worth of comments already, and no one has mentioned the 20-sided die that appears to be lodged in Sydney’s colon?
They did, but in code.
Ah… I honestly find Sydney to be the prettiest of the characters.
Yay, another fan with superb taste!
She fucks dragons?
No.
It refers to the ancient cartographic practice of marking unexplored territory with “here be dragons”. So it implies pretty much the opposite of your query, be it dragons or otherwise.
She’s…. named her ovaries Bowder and Gaston?
…
And they’re MALE? Oh…. ooooooooh dear.
I love how she punched her socks off…
I have wanted to hit any number of my body parts. Often it is joints that aren’t working right (ok, I’ll crush it, and rebuild it – that’ll teach it not to be painful for no reason!) I never have, but invisioning taking a large hammer to that one knuckle is soothing…
