Grrl Power #107 – Dabbler’s green card says “Super duper skilled alien”
Here’s a quick link to page #96. I didn’t draw the phone actually going in but this is where it happened.
There have been a lot of discussions around about the failings of alien invasion movies, so I can’t take credit for Dabbler’s observation. Obviously the idea is new to Sydney though.
Sandy’s arrival puts the headcount in the room at 9, but also marks the end of the interview, so we’re almost ready to move on to a new setting finally.
I’ve updated the vote incentive with the inked version of Dabbler vs. Zintiel (of Flaky Pastry – I linked to the homepage but I recommend immediately hitting the beginning of the archive.)
Oh, and I’ve updated the cast page a bit. It’s probably not all 100% sorted out but at least I finally have Math, Achilles and Mr. Amorphous. And I just realized I misspelled Amorphous. Son of a!
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.
The chemistry between all these characters is impressively excellent.
It’s like the MCU. It’s got so much amazing and interesting stuff going on, but the characters and their interactions are what turn it from good to great. The scene in “age of ultron” where all the avengers are just hanging out and playing games and such, I would watch a whole movie that was just that, and I would love it.
Likewise.
*keeps claws crossed that Marvel might commission a non-action movie, like this*
Mind you Grrl Power, the Movie will be even better!
You know, I’ve been avoiding this comic for years. Mostly the name, and what little I’ve heard of the premise.
That said, this is hilarious.
Thanks! I know the name can be a little off putting. It sounds like a comic about hippie feministas or something. I try to mention that it’s a comic about superheroines when it comes up.
Not gonna lie, the title made me a bit wary as well before I started reading it, because my mind went to “riot grrrl”, and then basically — to borrow your phrase — “hippie feministas”. The logo’s imagery — a radiation symbol and a Venus symbol — didn’t help dispel that impression. I’m not sure what I imagined the comic was about, but I think I expected a poorly written, heavy-handed, obnoxious, and possibly misguided feminist tract thinly disguised as a story — something not unlike, say, Sinfest.
Have you ever thought about changing the title and/or logo? If two readers that we know about were reluctant to check out the comic purely because of the title, there are probably more readers we don’t know about who had the same experience, and probably even more people who are still avoiding it because of that. (It wouldn’t have to be a big change — even just replacing “Grrl” with “Girl” would probably help a bit.)
So uhh. I always thought “How do people even drop their phones in the toilet?” Till today when I had it in my hoodie pocket. Sitting down caused it to be pushed out slightly and the angle and weight made it slide out. Caught it in time though :P
Well, whether to invade a planet would depend on how easily you can control the inhabitants. Based on just the little amount of Dabbler we’ve seen so far, the answer is very easily and without violence.
And if they’re nuclear armed, that means they can build an orion nuclear-pulse drive. You don’t even have to transport the ice up yourselves. In fact, they could fetch all the nearby comets while they’re at it…
X being forgettably generic, a joke ahead of it’s time apparently.
