Grrl Power #101 – What else would you do with two invisible arms?
It’s almost like Dabbler wants to get into a fight with Maxima – which probably says a lot of things about her.
This page shows the lingering effects of Dabbler’s “lust aura” enhanced entrance. It’s an innate succubus ability which she has leveled up considerably, but she wasn’t pushing it very hard when she came in. On a scale of “Girl Lookit that Body” to “Insta-Orgy” this was about “6 Jello Shots.”
You’d think that Zeph would have some talent for resisting spells like this, or an enchantment or something, but then, maybe he has no particular reason to want to resist it.
A wild goatee appears!
I’m thinking that Dabbler is causing all this chaos just for the hell of it.
Ya THINK?!? ;)
Okay maybe I should of said I know she is causing this chaos for the hell of it and more chaos will happen.
Well, if she got a shield that’s strong enough to stop Max I can imagine why she has so much fun provoking her, she’s not really in danger that way xD
I’m totally down to see Sydney throw up a force field just as a reflex, heh. Hopefully that’d draw the attention back onto the orbs. XP
what orbs?
I distinctly see only two orbs in that whole room
don’t give him ideas … or the comic will never go anywhere.
invisible grope + look on Maximas face = priceless

You know Dabbler, it might not be the wisest possible thing to tease Maxima whilst her hand is around your throat. You know…just in case you want to keep breathing.
personal i hope one of those or that sid does not know what it does see thogth dabblers enchanment break the spell on sid and she gets to see dabbler in her true form and goes into a tiraid been do for one of those from sid heres hoping
I’ve always thought that was what one of the orbs did. Remember when Gwen scanned Syd’s tube and got a reading of “too empty” ??? I figure that was because an orb inside was nullifying her spell.
I was thinking he same thing. OR perhaps the orbs don’t activate since they’re always working? Automatic power that more subtle than the rest. But I have a felling it’s like it was stated earlier; that it requires a specific condition to activate.
This train of thought reminds me there was this manga/anime series called “Toaru Majutsu no Index” (A Certain Magical Index) with a main character called Toma. In a setting with a large population of psychic/magic power users he alone has an antipower: His right hand contains a power called Imagine Breaker, a power which negates all magic, psychic, or divine powers directed against him.
You can watch it online if you want.
sounds kind of like the “Mage Killer” from (Modern Magic), this guy doesn’t call himself that, its just what he is. He is so immune to magic that he can neither see it or touch it except for seconday effects like explosions or fully manifested objects.
The seeing through illussions and not knowing about that skill always makes me think of the girl in El-Hazard who had that power, but never knew it till late in the OVA when she pointed out someone had blue skin who had been casting an illussion to hide what they were while attempting to assasinate someone.
I wonder if Harem has ever considered sprouting a male version?
All Harem copies started the same, the differences are cosmetic, not because she can initially manifest a different form. These forms remain consistent because she doesn’t have to destroy them between teleportations. So, no, not going to happen unless there’s a wacky mutation down the line, or one of the unknown orbs responds to sex change desires.
It may be possible with Zeph or Dabbler’s help…
Wait a minute, Harem’s an experience junkie. Has she tried to learn magic, yet?
Magic seems to be something you need the “Knack” to be able to use. It is quite possible that Harem simply doesn’t.
You never know with her. She hangs out with both Dabbler and Gwen so she might be taking lessons on the side to keep up with them, and to have more awsome powers and abilities so she wont be considered just a one trick pony.
She’s probably also learning a half a dozen other things as well.
Will Maxima need to use bondo on her rear, or will the dents eventually repair themselves on their own?
the impressions are most likely just in the clothes, but I’d imagine even with superskin the body retains some maliability to it; something too stiff couldn’t move or would actually make them more breakable.
Actually we sort of discussed this effect earlier with DaveB. If Maxima’s skin was always bullet-proof hard, she would be unable to do many normal things, like open a door knob or drink through a plastic straw. Also, intimate relations of any sort would be impossible, as would any sort of internal medical care.
However, Maxima can consciously dial her skin’s resistance to deformation back, like she can dial back any of her “always on” powers, so that she can interact with much of the ordinary world.
She would have to “dial back” to be able to grab Dabbler by the scruff of the neck without damaging her. And since her skin is dialed back to be more ductile, Dabbler is able to sneak in a butt-grab that actually deforms the butt flesh.
Speaking of the butt-grab, it took me WAAAY too long to figure out how it was done. I thought it was some sort of magic effect. I’d seen Dabbler’s normal form had four arms, and her “Glamour” illusion only has 2, but did not connect the dots enough to ask what happened with her other two arms.
Well, now I know. ^_^
I have a feeling that Maxima was less effected because she was already steamed when the “6 jello shot” effect hit her. If you are in a bad enough mood attraction can sometimes take a back seat.
Gotta say, I’m looking forward to Sydney meeting the rest of the group – in particular, the 2 “bank robbers”:
SS: “Mr. Amorphous? So you’re a shape-shifter???!? Hey! You’re the one I face-slammed in the bank! I didn’t put it together at the time, but my hand never entered your mouth. In spite of that, my fist wrapped around your tongue with some to spare on the other side of my palm, & not even Gene Simmons has a tongue THAT long!”
(REF: Pg.42, Panels 5+6)
I can’t even begin to imagine what he’d say in response…
Amorphous: [ Sound like he is trying to talk without moving his tongue or jaw ] Unn huh nuh new.
Sidney: [ Looks longingly as Amorphous ] Will you be my boyfriend? [ Lots of little hearts around her speech bubble ]
Amorphous: Actually, I’m, uhh, already seeing someone.
Heatwave: Hi, honey, I’m back! [ Running in, giving big kiss ]
Amorphous: Why is your hair steaming? What did you do?
Sydney: Does anybody else smell that? It’s kind of like the time I heated up a bottle of cola in a microwave ’til it exploded. C’mon, someone has to smell that!
Each paragraph is meant to be its own scenario.
that idea was hilarious till I read the intended format.
OK Mr. Dave, You need too get to introducing Peggy the sniper.
I read her bio 8 months ago and been anticipating her appearance since then.
I know you are told this overly often, and you have multiple projects going, but maybe two pages a week?
We’re lucky to get 1 page a week.I’ve seen web comics with art 1/10th as good as this take months between pages.
Would that I could. I’m working towards it but I’m not going to promise anything yet.
I am thinking things will go out of control in a few moments, that or the colonel steps in to stop the mess. I am also willing to bet Sydney will have a funny reaction seeing Dabbler as she really is. Ether way chaos seems to be waiting to happen.
Hes a general. Plus I think he’s more than smart enough not to get between a half demon and someone who bears a very striking resemblence to a goddess who can rip steel with her bare hands.
Or were you talking about Maxima? She is a Colonel, so I could have misinterpited what you were talking about.
The reason for Dabblers top shifting position is simple the entire “Look” is a glamour. Glamours are illusions that are so good you can’t tell when they shift or move until it has already happened and are mostly in the mind of the observer. Whichever angle you are looking at her will just barely not show her most interesting bits. So if you are looking a t her from the side and there happens to be something in the way (the orb) it will look like it is showing a whole heck of a lot, while when you look at her from dead on the top covers all the necessary bits, in a very enticing way.
I am entertained, and yet forced to ask.
Why is Arianna’s blush orange? Kind of dumps me out of the storyline.
Still deeply entertaining, though.
Her skin is yellow gold, combine that with red and you get a orange tint in her blushes.
That’s what I would do with invisible arms.
Go Dabbler!!
^_^
is just my imagination or the colonel looks like DAN HEDAYA (alien 4; commando) the actor?
es mi imaginacion o el coronel se ve igual a DAN HEDAYA (alen 4; commando) el actor?
It’s not your imagination. I thought he would be a great model for my general and I have a bit of an issue with drawing generic looking guys if I don’t use it reference. Fortunately I’m not good at drawing an exact likeness so I don’t owe him a performance fee. :)
I mean if he knew about the comic and asked… and I was making money on the comic I’d be happy to throw him a few bucks. That’s a lot of ifs though.
Ok it’s official.
Maxima’s face in the last panel is my favorite of all her appearances.
The truth about succubi? They don’t care if your not a lesbian because… well as far as they are concerned you are now.
just noticed, but Dabbler’s shirt in the first panel is kinda wonky (her breasts would have to be crazy contorted to match up the side view with the front view)
Harem and Zephan totally have the right idea re: Dabbler.
Just gotta say, love the look on Maxima’s face in the last panel. (Yes, this miiiiiiiight be my umpteenth read-through)
>.>
<.<
Oh my god I just noticed the generals face as I thinking of a bathroom humor type joke my supervisor told me recently
I have to wonder how the hell is Maxima relatively immune to Dabbler’s lust aura.
She’s probably resistant to most everything.
I am comfortable with Dabbler saying that she’s a 10 – in Hex.
Wow, Maxima gets scary looking when she’s pissed.
Duh. You make things “levitate”.
Give into your lesbian urges Syd, IT’S FUN!
OMG Max in the last panel is totally making a Tohru face XD
Love coming back to this page once in a while because all the different reactions are great.
“Yes, this is a ‘Loki’ entrance. I believe that’s what you call your goddess of mischief?”
i love how every lady save maxmia is thinking “not a lesbian”
That’d be Harem being the only one entertaining it.
