Grrl Power #64 – Someone skipped the harassment video
This comic is probably a good example of how not to write for sequential art. Three conversations going on at the same time (even if two are with Harem, who is kind of an exception in a lot of ways) and I started with the art before I had the whole page planned out. I’m actually generally fairly pleased with the art, but the last line is sounds like it should be a punchline for something I had spent the whole page setting up. I’ll just let you imagine some of the things the others might have said to Dabbler that’s got her wanting to visit Japan. I’m not bagging on Japan BTW, but it’s probably fair to say they’re the world’s leading exporter of weird. I’d offer some links, but outside of their gameshows that violate Geneva convention, it’d all be NSFW.
Speaking of which, is this page NSFW? I don’t know how to judge that stuff. You could get away with a lot of cleavage in a PG movie, so it didn’t seem like I should mark it as such. I’m not sure how I’d do that. Probably put (NSFW) in the title, but that would only help people who are checking the comic from Twitter or the RSS feed. There will definitely be more scandalous stuff in the comic later on, no actual nudity, but stuff like side boob and maybe a bare butt or two. That doesn’t count as nudity in my book as long as it’s comedy posterior and not sexy time posterior. The thing is with webcomics, there’s only one rating. NSFW, which ranges from cleavage to flat out porn. Maybe I’ll mark anything prurient with NSFW-13 or something.
Update: Added Leon’s stubble in and made Harem’s bod a little bigger in panel 4.
I think the safest way to know if you’re NSFW or SFW would be to make a huge wallpaper of everyone sexy naked.
Then you’re sure you’re NSFW from now on and you don’t have to worry about it anymore.

They just released the character editor for Saints row 3, had to make a Maxima
Yeah I was tempted to do that when I saw that you could make gold skin, but I instead tried to recreate my character from SR2, who… well, actually sort of looks like Maxima without the gold skin, in that she has medium length purple hair. I actually dressed her in black and purple before realizing that purple is the Saints’ color. I never played the first game.
I haven’t been able to view that character page on their site. I always get the “Oh S*** you’re F***” message.
oh well, she’s named Maxima and tagged with Grrlpowercomic. They are apparently still having some issues, I can’t even upload my second design.
I wonder how close I can get to a Sydney
ooooooh Larb Gai tonight
Funny smile is funny
There’s no outright pornograp or photorealistic renditions of torture, rape or war crimes, so no NC-17. There’s no highly sexual situations or bloody carnal violence, so no R. There’s no nudity or explicit Japan-level fanservice, so no PG-13. They’re not even talking about sex or violence, so I would rate this G. But I always fail to underestimate the squeaky wheels, so I’ll bump it up to PG because G would require everyone dressed from head to toe, with proper hair and shoes, talking about mundane banality.
Also, your ability to create conversations in which several people are not only the same person, in different groups, but you also have people talking to the idiot box the exact same way I do. It is made of win.
I wouldn’t say NSFW is the only possible rating for websites – if you want a more nuanced one, you could take a look at the good old Adopt a Censorship Panda system, and maybe even adopt one. ;)
Personally, I think this site would fall under Pai Gon‘s jurisdiction, or maybe Fa Teen’s at worst…
cracks me up that Anvil’s just all cool razzing the other copy for what the copy over by the tech guy is doing XD I mean, I know they’re all used to Harem having copies, but…still funny/cute XD I can’t be te only one to notice that Dabbler has a blue AND a green eye, right?
Yeah Harem’s fun to write for. My only concern is that new readers will be confused by her. Hopefully the who’s who badges will help with that.
Vigilantism– otherwise known as being a good Samaritan?
Umm no
Just wanted to say shoulder boob is annoying… Yes I know you have boobs, i’ve touched boobs before don’t act like yours are special. personal opinions may vary.
The last three panels were laff out loud funny, folks. Really a cute comic you have made.
Thanks!
I don’t know how many times I’ve (re)read this series and I just now noticed how eerily Joker-like Arianna’s grin is in the first panel
“angel or devil
I was thirsty
and you wet my lips”

NSFW – Not Save For Work, It’s a freaking comic. Any comic page, no matter the content could get you into hot water when viewed at work instead of – you know – working. It also depends on your supervisor.
Some workplaces allow their employees to use their computers for fun on their breaks, subject to certain limits.
