Grrl Power #1344 – Charity-ish
Yes, this page is just so Dabbler can debut a dumb shirt. But I hadn’t drawn Dabbler at the construction of the dungeon, which she would definitely be involved in, so I guess she was off doing something, be it going over engineering plans or just “charging up” for a day of heavy magic use, but this amused me more than her just arriving by stepping in from off panel.
Max is going to get suspicious when she notices Dabbler backing away from her and strafing side to side like she’s the little staple thing from Tempest and Max is the source of all the sparks and lines. A tortured simile, admittedly. I just mean Max is likely to notice Dabbler conspicuously taking pains to remain facing her. Not that it’s a big deal for her to change her shirt. Dabbler is probably wearing a generic tank-top or a basic baby-doll-Tee and has a glamor over it. Easier to do glamors over a similar thing. It’s why Dabbler can only make herself look like beautiful women. She never learned the advanced stuff to make herself look like an old witch selling poison apples or whatever. Despite the obvious utility of more flexible glamors, she had a choice between “Glamors 401” and “Particle Weaponry 401” and wound up becoming a TA in that class before even finishing it. And then annoyed the professor by incorporating 601 level concepts into her mid-term and accidentally turned an overflow parking lot into a seething cauldron of exotic particles gifted the school a new pool. A heated pool. Heated by exotic particles. But that’s okay, the next 75 years of students in the advanced magic healing courses got a good education.
I’m going to try something with this new vote incentive.
This month, I’m closing on a new house, selling my Mom’s house, finishing packing Mom’s house, moving city to city to the new house, forwarding mail, canceling utilities, all that. And after that’s done, I get to start the process of selling my old house, which needs a little work before it can realistically go on the market.
SO. I’m going to try and do this vote incentive in stages. Currently it’s just pencils. The TopWebcomics one will update with colors and detail until we get to the no clothes versions, then that will continue over at Patreon. Also there will be a comic or two in between each version to fill out the story.
I know it’s hard to tell from just the pencils, but this is Heatwave and Jiggawatt. The comics will explain why they’re doing what they’re doing. Although I feel like even saying that much makes it easy to guess, but hopefully the journey will still amuse.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
lmfao always read the contacts front and back XD
-keels over laughing hard!-
:D
Snickering Positively Evilly Rather Maniacally
I have to guess that Max has just reached her daily limit of “WTF?” and is preferring to ignore the connotations of Dabbler’s shirt in favor of doing something like telling her to ‘get rid of the shirt’ and Dabs interpreting that as an order to go around topless.
Realistically, Max could solve this very easily by telling Dabbler to change her glamour to a opaque monocolor t-shirt and jeans for casual wear while on duty, or just implementing an official Arc-swat uniform like other branches of the military.
This scene is purely for the gags.
Looking at this inside the setting, I can see Max having probably tried that once. Dabbler made the uniform a size or three too small, and the ‘monocolor t-shirt & jeans’ made her look like she wasn’t wearing anything (it’s not her fault that humans can’t see in ultraviolet, now is it).
Demons & Devils are rules lawyers after all. :)
That would fail the requirement that the outfit should be opaque.
You’re not dealing with a rules lawyer if they don’t follow the rule at all.
Sciona, nearby (thinking): “I wonder if I can get away with offing the succubus…”
Also, I know more than a few gay guys that would love to have that shirt.
Maxima will have her hands full of Dabbler overflow containment if she isn’t very careful with choosing her words…
I was obsessed with that game for a while. Can’t remember what level I got to; though it wasn’t all that far.
ROTFLMAOSTC
*Rolls eyes*
I guess at least there’s some visual wit on display this time.
How is that a feminist issue?
Also, I’d wear a “In the rear with the gear” shirt if I saw Dabbler like this.
Sperm donation allows women who want to be mothers but don’t want to have to bump uglies with some dude to do so. That’s my guess as to what Dabbler’s referring to here.
Well, by the same logic egg donations would be a men’s issue, right? I.e. in my opinion in both cases it’s your own problem and not a gender equality issue if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
This reminds me of those 7-up shirts. The make 7 in the front and -up yours in the back. Real teen rebellion stuff.
Dang it Dabbler!!!
DOH!
Too bad i cant do a donation, since you know, different universes
Love me a good classic arcade game reference. Tempest was a featured in the cult sci-fi classic “Night of the Comet”. Highly recommended.
I was more of a Qix man myself.
I played a few video games (Asteroids, Missile Command) but I was really more of a pinball wizard. Elvira, yeah!!
Galaga was my favorite but Tempest ate a lot of my quarters as well.
Nothing like working practicals for healers.
Odds are Dabs is setting up Max to order her to take the shirt off immediately in front of a crowd. Gotta be a bingo box on someone’s card.
Any chance Dabs sniffs out Sciona’s scent? At least remnants of blood magic? Maybe lingering vibes and pheromones from Mr Six Times ?
And now I’m wondering where you can buy such a shirt without special order. It got me a belly laugh.
I was looking for where to buy the shirt… surprised the comic doesn’t have a cafepress or Topatoco merch page!
I have to wonder where Dabs gets her four armed t-shirts.
Why would you make a shirt like that, and not have it as an option to purchase? To e leaving money on the table here
The Tees only come in the four armed style.
Come on DAVEB, if you’re going to make a shirt like that for the comic, you’ve GOT to have the Link ready to sell them to us when the page goes up.
Years ago in Madison, WI, there was a bar / lounge / drinking establishment called “The Town Pump”.
Its signage on the main drag boldly proclaimed “Entrance in the rear”.
(Said signage also had a very large high-heeled shoe – as in a pump.)
Passed by it annually on my way through Wisconsin and always giggled sophomorically every time.
Is it just me that’s fascinated with how four arm holes works on a tshirt??
I figure the true succubus version of that shirt has arrows pointing to more places than just the rear access…
I’m not sure how four arms works on a more or less human torso. The usual depiction (one arm on top of the other) doesn’t leave enough room for the shoulder socket on the lower arm to work, nor for the top attachment points for the muscles on the top arm.
I think the lower arm would probably be about halfway down the torso. Which means the ribcage would be completely different. No idea what the scapula for the lower arm would look like.
The forms of life with six limbs on Earth are exoskeletal (and a lot smaller than human), which makes for a completely different design; more like hydraulic pumps than pulleys.
Needless to say, pretty much all of Dabbler’s clothing would have to be custom-designed. So she’s either using illusions (possibly not a good idea in combat) or she’s taking designs ideas and running them through her own clothing fabricator. The second one would allow for all clothing to fit perfectly since it has her measurements, and it’s probably about as common with space people as a cellphone with Earthlings. I.e. you have one unless you’re a penniless student or a refugee.
Depending on the flexibility of said receptacle, more then one entrance can be covered by that arrow. Experience has taught me that.
Isn’t a thing that’s two things binary, since two is binary?
:)
Any day that Dabbles gets to troll Maxi simply by being herself is a great day :)
Dabbler in sexy construction gal attire please. bonus points if you allude to benni bennasi’s “satisfaction” in the background
I seen a shirt like that one Dab’s has many years ago, but it was on a Chicago gal that was “walking the street” heh…
My wife seen it at the same time I did and we both busted out laughing, she was 3 months along with our first ;) Then I winked at her and said “I have made all the deposits I needed to at a better bank” I had to hold her up, she was laughing too hard to breathe lol!
