While Maxima certainly has strong feelings about things like burqas (niqabs, hijabs, etc.) she also has strong feelings about reflecting bright desert sunlight 20 miles away, and revealing the nature of her classified existence while in the field. Also, if you get a bunch of special forces guys to wear niqabs, then suddenly they’re called shemaugs, and they’re cool.

As far as I’m aware, BDU’s, or possibly ABUs, which were eventually replaced by ACUs, (which used UCP, to be replaced by OCP (Not the Robocop company)) only have the rank chevron thingy in the centerline of the torso, kind of between the man-boobs, and slightly higher on those equipped with lady boobs. It’s not on the sleeve patches, and I don’t think it’s on the back anywhere. It’d be wasted on the back, since I assume almost anyone in the field would have something slung over their back, be it a rifle or a pack of some kind, even an officer. Obviously Peggy sees that Max is a Major (at this point in time) when Max turns around and leans over her, but when Max is standing with her back to Peggy, there’s not really a way for her to know what rank Max is. I wonder if there’s ever a situation in the military where a bunch of people are meeting each other for the first time, and they have to juke around to see what each others’ ranks are so they can establish pecking order. Like if they’re all carrying gear and straps and whatever is in the way. Or do they just call out like “E1!” “E3 over here!” “E7, hah hah, suckers!” “O3 here! I win!”

Of course, I’m sure military people are well conditioned for when someone yells out “SitRep!” they just respond instead of going “Ah, ah ah! Simon didn’t say so! Papers please!” Maxima does also have a fairly commanding presence, and also just bitchslapped a technical past the 100 yard line.

BTW, the slice across Peggy’s face actually cut into her nasal passages, but I didn’t feel like writing a bunch of “I mebt to boo bat.” dialog for her, or draw panels of her sneezing blood out in a really… interesting pattern.


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.
