Grrl Power #1139 – Anti-concision
Sydney uses “ADHD wall of text.” It’s super effective. Exactly what it’s effective at is another matter.
I assume that most languages have acronyms. Not like, Chinese, probably. Or even Japanese for that matter. I know Japan knows what they are for sure, (Evangelion’s N.E.R.V., etc.) but I think they have to use Romanized alphabets to achieve it. But yeah, probably most written languages with non-ideogram based writing systems probably would. No idea about Korean, which is non-ideogram and phonetic AFAIK, but each Korean… syllable (?) is consonant-vowel-consonant (except the ones that aren’t) but that would leave most Korean acronyms looking like something Iceland would name a volcano, or the noise Klingon would make when he got a bat’leth to the groin. KLKTKTK! German seems like a language that would benefit from acronyms.
I enjoy writing Sydney’s stream of consciousness manner of speaking, cause it gives me the change to do a lot of googling about topics I know nothing about. Writing this page taught me what the standard unit of currency is in Senegal, its general exchange rate (it’s closer to 600-1 at the moment, but I have to keep reminding myself that less than a year has progressed since the beginning of the comic) and that xylophone is indeed a word in the French dictionary, but isn’t French in origin. Oh, and also Bissap. I wanna try it.
The March Vote Incentive is up! The thumbnail is weird because the picture doesn’t have anyone’s face in it. It’s an odd incentive, admittedly. Trying something new. But hopefully you all still enjoy it.
Variant outfits and lack thereof over at Patreon, as well as the semi-usual bonus incentive related comic.

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
Evidently Sydney DOES have a natural super power. The abilitto disable the auto-time out on voice mail.
Either that or Maxima has hers disabled somehow/for some reason. She’ll probably never make that mistake again.
The X stands for the fact that it’s a multi-country currency, not tied to a single central or national bank. There are a few other currencies that start with x, like XPF, which is the franc used in the pacific, and the XAF used by Central African countries. No idea what the O stands for though, aside from that the A was already taken.
