Grrl Power #1302 – Oh, What A Feeling!
Clearly the floor of that valley/canyon thing is solid stone with a dusting of sand, because if it was 10 foot deep sand, the truck would thud into a dune, maybe flip once, but more likely roll over maybe halfway then settle to a stop. Maybe unless the truck was doing 300 when it rolled, and it wasn’t. It won’t day how fast it was going, because I don’t know how fast it would have to be to flip at least 3 times. Probably a lot faster than anyone but a rally driver would be going over that sort of terrain. So let’s just say the valley is slightly downhill toward Peggy?
Oh, and I admit I messed up the driver yanking on the wheel as the explosion comes through the sunroof (See? Told you it’d be relevant.) and knocks him out the door. If he’s yanking on the top of the wheel, the tires should swerve the car right. Instead I drew the car swerving left (the driver’s left, not our front-on view left). I was going to reverse the arrow, but then if I erased his hand to make it like it was on the bottom of the steering wheel, the “YANK” wouldn’t make sense unless I drew an X-ray shot of the lower part of the steering wheel. So instead I’m just going to say he yanked it hard over so suddenly, that sand actually slammed up on the inside of the… in this case, driver’s side wheel, since the steering setup is reversed in that truck, and that caused the truck to kip-up, or whatever it’s called when vehicles… trip. That could happen, right?
The title of the page is not a reference to dancing on the ceiling, BTW. It is a good song though. Very 80’s.
I know the vote incentive is stale. Things have slowed down but they’re not back to normal and won’t be until we figure out what to do with my mom’s living situation and the house. The current one is, if I do say so, one of the better incentive images I’ve done in a while, so if anything going to go stale, that’s not the worst choice. But I am trying to get back to (nearly) monthly updates. Previously when I was at my folks’ place, I couldn’t work on them because I was situated in the kitchen (they have a marble topped kitchen island the size of a Cadillac,) so that I’d be able to hear if someone needed help with something, but now I’ve moved into my dad’s office and have enough privacy to draw bewbs. I might try something a little different for the next one. I was thinking about a 1-2 panel per page comic that has sexy shenanigans that I would try and put out a little faster than (kind of) monthly, with simpler art than the usual highly rendered vote incentive stuff, along with the occasional splash image that’s better? I don’t know, I might experiment with that.
One of my favorite xenoanthropological series now has an audiobook! Just the first book, but the author is the very definition of indie AFAIK, so other audiobooks will follow only if this one can pay for itself. It’s the Vixen War Bride! My only gripe with it is the narrator read almost every single alien name with a different pronunciation than I did in my head. hes-TAY-en? HES-tee-en, surely? I actually don’t know which character he’s talking about until I consciously “translate” what he said in my head, or he says the name 2 or 3 times in a short span of time. Not to say it’s poorly done, they’re alien names after all, it’s just a little surprising that we only had like a 15% match on alien proper noun pronunciation.
P.S., No politics talk today, please. I’m really depressed and I just can’t deal with it. I thought my lack of faith in humanity stat was maxed, but apparently there’s no actual limit. Seriously, everyone armchair about truck flipping physics or whatever.
The new vote incentive is up!
Dabbler went somewhere tropical, in a very small bikini. As you might guess, it doesn’t stay on for long, which of course, you can see over at Patreon. Also she has an incident with “lotion,” and there’s a bonus comic page as well.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
Wish that truck didn’t have the “do a barrel roll” feature installed.
Given the way things are going lately it’s more like you have to pay a monthly subscription to have that “feature” turned off.
Apparently BMW was floating the idea of having a subscription for heated seats. Then they pulled it “due to customer concerns”. Which means they’re waiting to re-introduce it when there’s less publicity.
Like Doc Hudson says, sometimes you have to turn right to go left…
My sister-in-law died here in Texas in October mostly likely due to the doctors slow-walking her uterus cancer treatment due to Texas’s draconian new laws concerning women’s healthcare as it applies to women’s reproductive organs.
So we’re in a sudden scramble to escape the state as soon as possible. Trump winning the presidential election has just added to the pressure since it gives Texas the green light to go even further.
My daughter, who lives with us, has baby fever. Both she and my wife are scared to death of her trying to have a baby in Texas. Rough deliveries and ovarian/uterus problems run rampant on the wife’s side of the family.
I have health problems and reading comics on the internet is about the maximum speed of me being able to to be of help in anything. So my main area of responsibility is sitting back and worrying while everything goes to hell around me.
Sorry you’re moving out of state. I always thought I might get someone to drive me across town to show up at the game store where you play and watch a session.
Moving out of state is one of the options. A cross country move might not be the best option though. It’s a lot of work.
Perhaps if you are upset about Trump will to Hungarize USA , Hungary is the Trump cultist of EU a change of country could be a good thing …
U.K is outside EU but pretty progressive about society…
Eire or republic of Ireland is in UE abortion is legal ( 12 weeks ) ,
you can apply for Irish citizenship by naturalisation if you have legally lived in Ireland for five years …
citizenship in Irish republic give UE citizenship ..
EU citizens have freedom of movement, and the freedom of settlement and employment across the EU.
EU citizens have the right to vote and run as a candidate in certain (often local) elections in the member state where they live that is not their state of origin, while also voting for EU elections and participating in a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI).
Basically UE citizenship is the equivalent of an UE green card plus rights to vote at certain election if your country of residence is another country of EU.
I just gotta say it. You can not, absolutely can not, detonate an RPG with a bullet, of any caliber. It has been extensively tested ever since John Malkovich did it in the movie RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous).
In Jormungand, instead of shooting the RPG, Jonas shoots the person holding it and just about to pull the trigger… hole in his head makes him slump over and trigger pulls after he is dead now pointing into the vehicle causing it to go boom. :) A bit more practical.
Correction: It was a Javelin in the scene I was thinking of, not an RPG. Still, a more realistic idea.
RPGs have impact fuses though? Granted the energy involved from a bullet might just destroy the entire mechanism but I can imagine a situation where a superhuman shot might just be able to impart enough of a vibration (say in a glancing blow) to trigger it without shredding the whole thing?
The device isn’t armed until a set distance from firing. The bullet won’t cause detonation.
is it a technical if there isn’t a big gun mounted in the bed?
