Grrl Power #138 – Superheroines in the locker room
I probably could have skipped some of the last few pages and gotten on with the press event already, but then we would have missed out on this page and I’m sure we can all agree it was absolutely necessary. Well, maybe half of us. :)
This page is a little interesting besides the world building hidden amongst the cheesecake is that this page is a redraw. When I was gearing up to do the comic, I started drawing scenes that I knew would eventually happen. Since I wildly underestimated how long it would take me to actually get to this scene, it didn’t occur to me how much my art would change in the interim. Also, some of the circumstances of the scene are different, like the eyepatch. You can see the (slightly more NSFW) old page here. (It has a few girls in the shower but you can’t actually see anything.) Look how skinny Heatwave’s (the redhead’s) hips are. Yuck.
For those interested, I have three other old pages like this that will need to be partially or entirely redrawn. Two of them are from Dabbler’s… well, not backstory, but “so what were you doing right before you came to Earth?” I decided to skip over them during her introduction around page 100, but they’ll eventually get used.
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.
I just realized: Jokes on them we *can* see into the women’s locker room!
Fourth wall trasparency for the win!
It’s even more of a win if the characters never discover the fourth wall…We’d be reduced to seeing nothing more than a lot of awkwardly-placed hands. Except perhaps Dabbler, maybe…
Man, that just moved from funny to creepy.
Awkwardly placed hands or flying fists, as Anvil and Max nail the observer then Max and Heatwave start blasting. The result: One very crispy and shattered fourth wall.
Nail. Hurr hurr hurr!
poor poor fourth wall…what did it ever do to them…Oh yeah! the almost nudity…no complaints about that, still…poor wall
I’m guessing that Peggy will be a pretty good PT trainer and buddy for Sydney, since everyone else is powered up to one degree or another.
Is dabbler ever going to be having all 4 of her breasts showing in the comic? Well not showing but present. Would be funny to see Syd’s reaction when she sees them.
i may be wrong, but i think the 4 boobs thing was only used in wereworld. except for the bio page ( and the pic doesnt even look like it was done by dave) i don`t think dabbler is gonna ever have 4 boobs. it probably was a design that was dropped a some point.
Yea, DaveB confirmed that in the first page of comments.
I believe he properly explained it as artistic evolution…or convenience…whichever, I’m not an artist and I’m definitely not complaining about anything I’m seeing here.
Kinda reminds me of the movie Paul, which had a recurring quote: “Three tits, that’s awesome!”
Yes, this is an extremely important commentary on, uh, body issues. Right. Absolutely necessary… in HD.
Certainly. When discussing the attributes & differences between supers & normals, it’s only a good practice of science & biology to bring up the subject of anatomy.
In the name of all beefcake lovers everywhere, I demand their be more pages showing the guys in various states of undress, especially Math…….pretty please. ;)
After reading some of Dave’s comments on the first page, I am pleased to inform you that that is a strong possibility. He originaly didn’t intend to, but a conversation with someone on twitter (I think) changed his mind. Enjoy your future beefcake, fellow reader!
Wow, that joke about the “A-Team” is probably the best thing you’ve ever put in here to-date. ROFL!
I just hope that as a member of the “A-Team” she can shoot straight.
as she is the team’s SNIPER… i assume that yes, she CAN shoot straight… even though she’s BI… that has nothing to do with her usage of weapons. :)
On the contrary, she’s proficient with both rifes AND handguns :D. Though I do get your meaning, and I think Plasma Mongoose (which, along with honey badgers, are among the list of rodents I hope never to have querrel with) may have been talking about Sydney, in which case I am certain the answer is quite the opposite. I get the feeling Sydney’s aim with a standard issue weapon will be worse than that of a storm trooper.
its a good thing Honey Badgers arn’t rodents then.
Weasels are closer to dogs and cats than rodents. heck their closer to bears really than dogs and cats.
Huh, always thought weasels were in the order rodentia, but you’re right they are not. Learn something new every day. Still, I would not want to wind up in a scrap with one made out of plasma! Or a honey badger. Or a badger that has merely been covered in honey, as it’s capacity to stick to a target and cause untold amounts of destruction would make it natures version of the plasma grenade!
you just gave me an idea,
seeing as they will stick coelacanth dna in mice…I propose a cross genomic splice (as pretty sure they can’t breed) of a honey Badger and a wolverine, to produce the ultimate animal to keep people off my lawn.
It won’t work…
Honey Badger don’t give a ****!
It’s DNA does what it wants!
The world’s largest member of the weasel family lives in my area. Although the English Wikipedia does not realise that, and thinks the biggest one is in America. Probably because the locals here don’t even use the Latin alphabet, and could not be arsed keeping English speakers informed.
Curiously enough it is a blood-sucking critter (like the vampire bat, just a lot bigger). Chicken coops round here have to be far sturdier than mere fox-proofed ones, as they are a favoured prey. Not surprisingly, I live deep in vampire territory. Genuinely. There have been over 700 archaeological finds of buried vampires in this corner of Europe. Complete with steel stakes through the heart.
Note to anyone suffering vampire problems. Don’t use wooden stakes. Stakes only immobilise vampires. If they are removed, you have a problem. And wood rots. Fast enough that it will be your problem, and not some future archaeologist’s!
If you are not suffering vampire problems, do not worry. Vampires are not real. They are purely the figments of ignorant dark age peasants. Should you find actual evidence to the contrary, you may wish to consult the previous paragraph instead.
Didn’t vampire grow out of trying to explain people suffering from rabies?
Anemia IIRC. Lycanthropes were Rabies.
Also the incredibly bad habit of humans blaiming the dead for more death. Like Neuntoter of Germany, a vampire said to spread plague. If someone died, then shortly after another member of their household got sick, and they had no idea why and knew nothing of disease they tended to think the most recent death was coming back to kill others.
Hollywood likes to give nice, neat, single explanations for why zombies are running round in a movie. Or some mutated monster is rampaging through the city. Historically speaking things are a lot murkier. If you do not have modern medical and psychology textbooks to give you handy terms to explain why people behave the way they do, then some other explanation will have to fill the void.
Put yourself in the mind of someone from that era. If you discover somebody living in your community, who outwardly seemed ok. But is found to have a cellar full of dismembered human bodies. With a half-eaten one in his larder. With no signs of occultism, witchcraft can be dismissed. The person is lucid, so demonic possession seems out. Vampire may well be a convenient handle to place on him. It certainly would not hurt to stick a stake through him, after he is executed, just to be safe.
Vlad the Impailer being an example of just one historical individual who was far worse than most Hollywood vampires. Not surprising that he may have served as the inspiration for Dracula.
Bram Stoker had several inspirations, among them various vampire legends from around Europe and while Vlad served for the name and location, the character had more in common with Erzebet Bathory the blood countess.
[pendant]
Stormtroopers have VERY good aim. So much that they can reliably miss people they’ve been ordered to let escape alive while not giving the impression that they are trying to miss.
[/pendant]
Storm Troopers are the Elite of the elite forces (yeah, always thought of them as simply glorified grunts for a long time because of A New Hope as well), just have to remember, the only people they failed to hit were the Main Players (and the mutant teddy bears)
Duly noted on both counts, I shall remember to have more respect for the venerated storm trooper.
Oh! Honey Badgers and Ewoks genetically crossed!
Walking, talking Honey Badgers with spears and traps…
they’d be more like mini wookies o.o
Damn it all, Sir! You ARE going to give me nightmares at this rate, you know that right?
Stormtroopers used to provide constant patrol services in Paragon City, in its early days. Often fielding two full patrols at a time. Stopping only to provide photo opportunities with friendly locals, for public relations purposes.
It was a sad day when the Evil Corporation destroyed it! Proving that the pen is indeed mightier than the Death Star.
I do remember one or two of the Ewoks getting hit and at least one dieing. Though that may have been a lucky shot.
To quote a line from a story I recently read, “Couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn if they were shooting at it from the inside.”
Ha ha ha ha! I haven’t heard that version before, man I need to remember that.
If she’s a member of the A-Team, then she’ll fire a lot of shots, but no-one will ever seem to get hit. :)
I believe the A-Team themselves have been hit, once or twice. I recall BA needed a blood transfusion from Murdock :D
That’s what is referred to as “suppressive fire”. Not so much as to hit the enemy as to keep the enemy from being able to shoot at you. You’re only supposed to use that tactic when you have more ammo than you can possibly carry and have a re-supply run scheduled in a few hours bringing more.
Fire and manuever. Close with and destroy (or capture, I suppose) the enemy. Suppressive fire has its uses, but it does eat up the ammo. Even if you use spaced shots instead of rock ‘n roll.
Actually I had a thought, if anyone knows about the fourth wall it would be Dabbler, and with her sense of humor she wouldn’t dare mention it because for her it would be the ultimate private joke…
And we all know Dabbler loves “private” jokes. “Minimum security, like my pants!”
PS: Okay yeah, I should be punched for making that joke. I regret nothing.
The A-Team is the best…the C-Team, though, are apparently a bunch of surly midgets…
Perhaps I’m just easily amused, but I chuckle every time I read this. Going off of Peggy’s ranking system, teams E and down probably have or will have horrendous back problems and yet still maintain a good track record for taking down male opponents.
PS: Or at least drawing their attention long enough for the other teams to take them out.
Nobody’s noticed what Sandy was handing to Sydney? Is it…her Choker? DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN
Parapsychotic mentioned it in the previous page of comments. Not that I spotted it mind, so you are both more alert than I am. Or perhaps less distractable is more accurate.
Although you are the first to capture the theme music.
I was a bit distracted :p
I *THINK* that’s just Sandy’s notepad, with a couple pages flipped back so she can read her notes
Wouldn’t be a choker (at least, not the Official one, seeing how they only just decided on a Call Sign for Sydney and have to decide on how her ‘H’ is going to look), initially though it might be her Visitor pass but it’s too thick for that but thinking maybe it’s a wrist strap
Might also be as jee said, Sandy’s notpad with a few pages rolled over
I think wrist strap looks the most plausible. Although the other two options are not unreasonable. If the chokers are key to building security, they may well have been set up for rapid issuing, perhaps without the custom logo. But a wrist version seems more likely if issuing a temporary one (especially as it could be hidden under the sleeve and provide less Easter eggs, for readers to spot, than a lanyard pass).
Plus you would expect something as distinctive as being awarded their personalised chokers to be a big thing in a quasi-military unit. Kind of like issuing the wings to a fighter pilot. When they have proven themselves.
Yup, they will save the Neck ID for an official ceremony (not the press conference, even if they had had her official NID ready), and if Sydney has her way, it will be a re-enactment of the end of A New Hope (complete with Anvil dressed up like Chewie :P)
Oh man, Anvil would be PISSED! Taking bets on whether or not Max would be C3PO. And X could be there as Pimp Darth Vader. Okay, Darth Vader wasn’t in that scene, and I stole the Pimp Darth vader joke from Andor’s Pimp Cobra Commander Comment back on Page 105. Bite me.
Oh my gosh, there are people in the background of panel one! I hadn’t noticed. I guess I must have been paying attention to something else.
Wait, so guy supers don’t have breast smaller than a B-cup, either?
Well played. ;)
Buff manly men don’t have cup sizes. Out of shape fat guys with moobs have cup sizes. The male members of Archon have muscular pecks, and I don’t doubt they can flex them individually at will. I admit to being jealous of this because I can only flex my muscular buttocks individually at will and have only had one occasion to demonstrate said ability in public without risk of being arrested for indecency (it was in high school and a female classmate volunteered to grab my butt while I did so whilst still wearing pants…annoying how a similar challenge only serves to get me to asked to leave bars nowadays).
Then you obviously are going to the wrong kind of bar. :)
But the right kind of school!
Yea…
If this was about upper body build, then everybody has already seen it.
I think there is only one muscle only Dabbler coud compare…
I might be crazy but am I the only one that sees 4 *ahem* chichi’s in front of dabbler in some of the art?
Not crazy. Check out page 1 of comments for more info.
chichis? We’re all (mostly) adult here. Use the right term: BREASTS! Lord and Lady it’s not that Difficult! :P
Or ‘bewbs’ if you must (took me a long while to figure out Goku’s wife wasn’t cloned and standing in front of Dabbles)
I was trying to be discrete but finally coming back through all of the comments, I find I have just made myself out to be a newb.
Not at all. Folks often miss spotting that the comments have already ticked over to another page. And, even then it is just as easy to miss an earlier comment on the same point. Your observation was spot on, and pertinent to the comic in question. Nothing Noobish (*shuddering at the word*) in my opinion.
Mmm, talking about which, does the site have an extra “more comments” section since the recent update? I had the impression that it only used to have the pages at the top, which meant that the extra pages were not obvious. * Relying on recalling you had seen different ones earlier in the day/week. Whereas now, there are the much easier to spot page numbers at the bottom too.
* Possibly I just slid from an alternate Earth where this was a problem, but you have never had it here. If so just ignore me. It happens to me often enough that I don’t worry about it.
Do let me know if this is an Earth without shrimp though (or more importantly prawns – nice little pinkish edible ones that taste like tarantula, just in case they are different here). That big a difference I would find alarming.
Namely her bio art.
Surely it has occurred to Sydney that after a few months of training she will, at least
(oops)
…, attain the same level of fitness.
Well, given that she seems to be most sensitive to the difference in breast size, no amount of training will help in that regard. And natural supers like them cheat. They get all the physique for free. No actual training required. If she works out enough to qualify for the Olympics gymnastics team, she will be able to match them. Barring being shorter. And not having an hourglass figure. And having to continue to work out extensively and maintain a very strict diet to retain the look.
Not to mention the fact that other than basic training to get a minimum level of fitness to be capable in the field, she is likely to have to spend most of her time refining her control over her primary assets. The orbs. There probably would not be enough time in the week to get to peak physical fitness at the same time as mastering mental control of the orbs. And they have other people who can do the physical stuff.
Besides which, I rate her as being perfect as is. Far prefering her body type to theirs. Not everyone has the same preferences.
I did say “level of fitness.” It’s pretty standard comic book stuff… hero trains body, regardless of of power set.
fanservice is its own reward
Thank you Peggy for the “A-team” crack. Best laugh in weeks.
Just a guess but I think Sydney is going to get her collar, look what’s in the secretaries hand in the first panel, Yeah.
I would also like to add that I like this strip because Peggy in the last panel of the older one kind of looks creepy to me, like she meant something entirely different, the fact that at first I thought Peggy was a guy when we first met her really doesn’t help the facts.
Also I don’t know about all of you but I am still waiting to find out what Sydney’s “condition” is, I don’t know if it has already showed up and I just missed it or something like that but I think it has something to do with ether her being introduced at the press conference or, on a side note since it was mentioned that the comic book shop isn’t doing so well, if maybe she asked for free advertisement for the shop or what.
No, SDydney’s special “condition” for joining ARC has not been revealed as yet. My guess is that it will become clear in some way during The Big Press Conference.
There could be a big banner over the table where the various members of ARC who are being introduced are sitting. The banner would read “ArcSwat – High-Risk Domestic Response Unit”. An 8″X11.5″ landscape sheet is attached underneath it using duct tape, which reads “Event Presented by Event Horizon Comics“
My own guess runs along similar lines.
Gotta say, I like that. Both the classification you gave ArcSwat (High-Risk Domestic Response Unit) and the overtly impromptu Advertisement of Event Horizon Comics. Duct tape automatically makes everything more awesome.
Duct tape man capable of repairing an unflyable aircraft or building a canoe with nothing more than a few wooden poles to provide a frame. Criminals can often be found, bound and gagged, dangling just outside the crime scene. With police catching no more than a glimpse of the elusive vigilante, as he swings from building to building on his super-strong tape.
The media speculate whether the distinctive shiny grey suit is simply a strong, protective outfit, or if he is actually duct tape animated and given life by some unknown means. Certainly the tape he wields animates of its own accord, forming massive webs, to allow victims to leap safely from burning buildings.
Known to have some link to the Mythbuster Heroes, as they seem to be able to summon him in an emergency, debate rages over whether this is actually a superhero or simply an animated creation of The Savage or Inscrutible Imahara.
What I’m asking is 170 comments so far, and no one mentions “Jiggawatt”? Who dat?
Pretty much, every time someone mentions Jiggy in the comments it has been answered fairly quickly: she is just one of the other Supers in the building, hasn’t been officially introduced yet but has been seen a few times (possibly most notably when Peggy was first escorting Sydney and Sydney did a ‘security sweep’ when Jiggs walked past them in a hall)
I found Peggy! https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/530524_330412510398346_1354696976_n.jpg
… not sure if offensive or just bad punny…
I though Peggy was a below-the-knee amputee. Also a bit “pudgy” to be Peggy (not fat, just not the wiry body type displayed by Peggy).
sorry, just got hit with a jump picture from facebook on a link that looked a lot like that. so, no. i’m not clicking on that. you’ll have to describe it for me
Just a picture of a woman with short blonde hair and a full prosthetic left leg
Sandy’s hair is HOT.
and her features are much more appealing than before… I’ve been racking my brains for the last 2 days trying to figure out who she looks like…
I suppose it would be funny if in a few years Sydney gained a few feet and gained similar dimensions the rest of the super powered squad has. Although I see the likelihood of that happening very slim.
Not sure how that would be possible: Sydneys ‘powers’ are entirely obtained from the Orbs
Forced mutation via one of the unknown orbs?
Sexy Jutsu Orb,
temporary transformation.
Well, that could work.
In print comics this often happens when a new artist takes over. Or when a title’s sales are flagging and they decide they need a costume change. Often it’s not just the costume that changes, but the cup size as well.
https://www.toplessrobot.com/2013/04/the_ten_sexiest_superhero_costume_makeovers_for_be.php
Almost as funny would be the episode where Sydney is the only mega-hot looking one and everyone else is reduced to relatively normal looks. If you think Sydney is hard to control now….
Oh man I approve!
Oh my god… I know that these superheroene boobs don’t need much support, but those bras are so tiny!
Next time on Grrl… why superhero comic artists always draw their heroines with the same bust size.
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but the idealistic appearance of superheroes and heroines does make practical real-world sense… especially in this setup. First off, they’re generally engaged in a highly athletic line of work, so they’re going to be trim and fit.
Secondly, especially in this setting, they’re going to have personal trainers, PR people and more who are going to focus on making sure they look good. Which means everything from wonderbras to plastic surgery…
In generic comic book settings, agreed. However in this particular world, whatever it is that causes super heroes to exist also gives good looks, physique and ahem… ample endowment, as part of the package. Yes, they do have access to trainers and so, but they just don’t need it. Not for vanity purposes, anyhow. Combat training and ways to make best use of their powers however will still be important.
I do approve that such things are just accepted by the characters. To them it is normal. The way the the world works. It would feel artificial if they started to have a conversation to give us exposition for something that everyone in their world knows anyhow.
I get the feeling that at least some of the team (Anvil and Maxima, mainly) would be the first to complain about the problems large breasts can cause (though their superstrength would at least mean they wouldnt get backache) – they’re probably jealous of Sydney and Peggy for not having to deal with them!
Maxima complained about them once when trying to stick her gun in its shoulder holder. ( https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/320 )
Yup. I’m not sure about Anvil, though. She might be proud of her physique, if she’s into the body-building. So far, I think Dabby and Harem are the only supers who outright enjoy their physical superness. Max, not so much.
It’s not like Peg and Syd are dogs, though. Syd has a nice little shape on her (as revealed when she was wearing that wetsuit) and Peg seems to have a similar build. I’d say they’re cute, not intimidatingly hot. Like Kaylee on Firefly. Sort of.
Kaylee would definitely be my favorite character in Firefly, and both Sydney and Peggy are pretty damn cute too! However, nowadays people tend to judge themselves by near impossible standards and convincing them otherwise can be difficult. Peggy likely has the self confidence not to be bothered by it, but poor Sydney may need time, perhaps after her fame earns her a few stalkers but then she has a whole new set of promblems!
Kaylee is really sweet. An extremely likeable character. Shame they never did more of the series. Around Christmas time I met a guy who had a spookily close resemblance to the captain. Younger, but, if they ever did another series, he could walk onto the set and would be taken as a younger brother or possibly grown up son of the actor.
I think Sydney and Peggy would appeal to a lot of individuals. Sydney having the problem that her awkwardness might make it harder for her to make a connection. And her extroverted behaviour is likely to scare off more than a few, otherwise viable, prospects.
I miss Firefly. Kaylee was the best. She dressed up nice too, when she went to that ball. Just imagine her in a slit skirt and high heels outfit, let’s say. Now do a confidant Sydney. Not too bad, eh?
She and Peggy could make a lot of fashion stuff look good (if they can find it in their sizes). Maybe not the thigh boots and bustier kind of thing, but other stuff. I’m trying to think of a reason for DaveB to have Peg and Syd show up wearing sexy clothes at some point, but I can’t. They’re not secret agents going to cocktail parties, after all. Oh, well. If it ever happens, I think everyone will see what I mean, and I’ll feel vindicated. ;)
Well (putting aside the publicity and fame that will come from it), they have a better chance of pulling off covert duty than maxima does! :-D
True, but like Kaylee, Sydney’s essential honesty makes her a terrible candidate for covert work. On the other hand, Syd does do role playing games. So, I don’t know. I’ll take a wait and see on that one.
Well, Maxima and the generals have cigars that could be stolen and used.
Who would be willing* to risk getting caught stealing one of Maxis cigars? O_o
*stupid enough
Starts with an H?
Heatwave may be slow, but she is not that unwise. Oh, you were talking about the other H. Now, are we talking about the teleporting H or the hyperactive H?
I’m guessing telepporting H. She can, well, teleport and seems to take much enjoyment in feeling sneaky. She is also more than mischeivous enough and is probably looking to pay Max back for the atomic wedgie chain reaction incident.
Now that you mention it, how likely is it that she’s already done it?
*clutches skull*
Oh my gosh was this page really necessary
However, points for the “A Team” line. ;)
Yes. Yes, it was.
I have to ask, have you ever read the Wearing the Cape series by Marion G. Harmon? In this series about super heroes you have a hero called, “Seven”. He is in essence the luckiest man in the world. In any situation he is in the law of averages tilt in his direction. This means as an example if a sniper shoots at him the wind will shift making the bullet miss him, however it have a 90% chance to ricochet right back at the sniper hitting him with his own bullet instead. but at the same time he would hear the shoot, drop, and find a hundred dollar bill. Thought I might mention it as it could be a great character to pop in as someone from one of the other departments. In essence a hero with super powered luck.
A character with that powerful a premiss would need awfully skilled writing to keep interesting. Once the novelty of the core idea wore off, it would get tedious fast having every break going the heroes way. Not illogically, as that is his thing. But equally not particularly challenging and therefore having no suspense or drama as know the hero will “luck out” every time. Of course, good writing can get around that. But it removes many of the tools of a writer can use, limiting his options.
Personally I found the character of Tom Chance to be a far more interesting premiss. He had both the best and the worst luck. From a British sitcom called Chance in a Million.
One scene has stuck in my mind, over the years, as an ideal example. He and his new girl friend go to some sort of local charity event. It went something like this:
Location: Inside a village hall.
The event is in full swing, with a large crowd packing the venue. Everyone is happy and there is an exited buzz in the air.
Girlfriend “Here, Tom, I bought you five tickets in the raffle.”
Tom “Oh no! I better return them straight away.”
Girlfriend “Don’t be silly, it is for charity. Anyhow it was only a pound for five.”
Tom “That does not matter, I will give them a donation to make up for it. But if I don’t it will go badly.”
Tom struggles to get through the crowd, but they are jam-packed and he is making no progress.
Girlfriend “Too late, anyhow, they are making the draw right now!”
The announcers voice is heard over the loud speaker
Announcer “Ok, starting with the smaller prizes, our first winner is Blue 504. Let me turn the ticket over and see the name. Tom Chance. Is Tom Chance here?”
Girlfriend “Oh, Tom, you won!”
Tom gestures her to keep quiet, fingers over lips, but she waves over the crowd and calls out
Girlfriend “He’s here”
Everybody claps politely, and those nearby turn and smile at the couple. The prize is passed from hand to hand over the heads of the crowd, to Tom.
Needless to say, this repeats three times, the crowd getting increasingly angsty after each further “lucky co-incidence”. By this stage, anyone who glances at the couple now do so with an irritated frown or envious gaze at all the prizes.
Announcer “Right, what a lucky man Tom Chance is! Well, turning to our Grand Prize of the evening, we are truly fortunate to have had such a magnificent donation to allow this…”
Tom (Holding an armload of teadybears, bottles of wine and other prizes whispering to girlfriend) “Here, grab hold of a couple of these. We need to get out of here right now!”
Girlfriend “Oh, Tom, you can’t be serious. I know that it has been embarrassing, but surely you can’t think that you will win again?”
Location: Outside the village hall.
Tom and girlfriend are fleeing in a panic, teddy bears falling as they run. The crowd surging after them, with many shouting
Crowd: “It’s a fix!”, “Somebody call the police!”, “There they go, catch them!”
Yeah I read that series recently, like in the last 2 months, and I really like it. Looking forward to the next installment. Also, there’s another novel “Playing for Keeps” by Mur Lafferty which has a villain with super powered luck, which is something I’d never seen before.
Nice to know that he writes it well, despite my reservations about the premiss. I shall keep an eye out for it “when my ship comes in”.
Another really good one, and I mean out right twisted funny, “Confessions of a D list super villain”
It’s all about this low level super villain that ends up becoming a high level hard hitting super hero with a villain’s morals but a penchant for being the best hero to call in situations where the entire world is at danger. Great book, oh and just to clear things up at least a little, he’s a gadgets type hero, sort of like iron man, but on steroids.
Yup, just read this one as well. It’s really good too. Wearing the Cape, Confessions, and Playing for keeps are definitely on my recommendation list.
I can just see Sydney’s revenge. A foam body form that makes her look like she has big tits and ripply muscles, barely covered by a tiny t-shirt.
The avatar at the top of the page for Sydney is the one where she’s over-salivating and it looks hilariously lesbian.
DC is the worst offender of the super model superhero. Only Jonah Hex doesn’t look absolutely fabulous.
At the last picture peggy looks like a T-rex
I’m only 5′ even, I’d feel so tiny. I do have DD’s though, so at least my body has SOMETHING in common with the supers
It’s like being around the Stepford Wives. Creeeeepy.
Sydney’s probably Murdock.
The ludicrousness of the boobs was bothering me, but the fact that Sydney is the one who pointed it out is awesome.
…Just realized, this is foreshadowing that someday, Sydney will probably invest a point in one of the two unknown orbs, and suddenly grow by at least one cup size.
Noo! Say it isn’t true!
Pages like this make it really hard to read in class.
I can see how it might impact on the quality of your lessons if your teacher gets too ‘excited’.
