Grrl Power #1205 – Feckin’ banjaxed eejit wordin’
Okay, I have a confession. “Core” here is a Patreon cameo character, as mentioned on the previous page, but as I was writing this one, I realized that the description I have for him doesn’t include a name. Also the email I have for the guy whose character it is isn’t valid anymore, so I thought it’d be funny to make one up for him and also make it, as Sydney puts it, “Celtic gibberish.” But I must have emailed the guy at some point when I still had valid contact info and gotten the name because it’s right there on page 782. I just didn’t add the name to my cameo notes, like a boss.
And that’s how I wrote and drew this page and only just realized my screw-up as I’m posting it this evening, so… I had to scramble to edit Sydney’s first word bubble, and I guess “Core” is now the guy’s supranym?
People had questions about the status of The Veil and its current demon coverage. That’s… hinted at here, but will be addressed in a page or two.
The September vote incentive is up! Let’s call it the November vote incentive and just say I’ve still got two I.O.U’s, eh?
Well, Dabbler is doing her Dabbler things, and the Patreon version has a nude variant and a comic that… I don’t know, expounds on the goings on of the initial picture?

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
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.
In a webcomic I read extremely long ago, the main character laboured under new teachers pronouncing her Celtic name. It was Ceilidh, pronounced “Kaylee”.
Yeap, that’s how you pronounce it.
They’re awful fun too, if a little tiring.
DeepDB: Dryer sheets :)
Busted.
… dating myself a bit, but I’m betting that was Avalon. :D

It’s still out there, easy enough if you search for “avalon high comic”
Translation glasses message- WTF
As was pointed out, it’s an encrypted language, or maybe just a cryptid language. who knows…
Irish and Scots Gaelic are the products of what happens when the people transcribing your language into Roman characters for the first time are literate in Late Latin. Then you add in several hundred years of drift, mix in a big glass of standardization, and deal with pressure to stop speaking it while you’re at it. Welsh is in a similar boat, but it’s a Brythonic instead of Goidelic Celtic language so the initial phonics were way different.
I sorta skimmed the comments and didn’t see anything, so I apologize if someone else has already brought this up, but… how does Olivia know/remember the spelling of his name? It’s not a name that an American would remember, even if she saw it on his application or when processing his tax paperwork. It’s unlikely she’s seeing it written down daily or even weekly. So either she’s making it up to troll Sydney, or she and “Core” have a closer relationship than has been implied so far.
Not neccessarily. The store is a very small business.
If Olivia is sometimes helping out with some of the administrative stuff, she could have seen his name often enough to remember the spelling.
Not every American is ignorant of other cultures, or don’t care to remember (or even learn in the first place) the name of employees
That’s like saying “not all men” commit sexual assault, or “all lives matter”. Sure, “not all Americans” are braindead, but since the vast majority are, voicing the alternative is missing the point.
Or she just thought it was a cool name and put in the effort to memorize it. I suspect she’s a secretly repressed geek that’s blossomed since starting work at a comic shop.
I like Parfaits smoke top but it makes me wonder, is a seethrough top a sheer effrontery
There is a scene with Steve Colbert and the Irish actress Soairse Ronan… reaction at the end same…
Sha-reese Row-nahn. Love that name.
Actually, it’s SOAR-shah.
The most interesting information for me is that Parfait is able to detect supers. I’m not aware of there being a specific detection process beyond noting that someone has an attractive physique and no bodyhair.
I guess it’s possible that Parfait is much more sensitive to tantric/mana differences, similar to how she’s much more proficient with her lust aura than Dabbler. Dabbler noted that supers are yummy but its possible she can only tell if she directly does her succubus duties with them.
The danger here is if Tom and/or Deus work out she has this ability, although if Deus is seemingly able to do something to improve the rate or likelihood supers are formed then its possible he has a readily available detection method already.
It’s also possible that Arc really does have a method of detection but simply don’t share it. Honestly, I could see the different and more attractive tanctric/mana energy in them being another factor in determining how Supers come to be since their generally more sexually attractive physique is a part of the package as well.
Celtic and Welsh words are spelled the way they are using the english alphabet Specifically to annoy England because **** those colonizing as****es
Looks Irish. Similar enough to Gaidhlig to cause confused pronunciation. I still find myself mixing Gaidhlig in with my spoken/written English upon occasion. The Welsh LL is still my favorite letter/sound combination; it’s just a shame noone outside Wales uses it correctly.

I use the Irish Gaelic spelling of my name quite often, been using it here for years.
