Grrl Power #206 – The Velma reversal
Yes he was indeed trapped in there with her and not the other way around as most people predicted. Hopefully even if it was predictable the execution was amusing/cringe inducing. There were several ways Sydney could have dealt with him but this is the most straightforward. Really anyone getting within 3-4 meters of her is risking a similar fate, but of course, some supervillains might not be as dramatically affected by the orb blitz for various reasons. Originally I drew a 7-10 split instead of the Homerun marquee, complete with pins and one of the orbs in place of the bowling ball, but then I realized I’d used the 7-10 split gag already.
Streaming! I will attempt to do this today. Assuming you want to watch me ink and also want to see the page I’m working on spoiled. It’s not an earth shattering plot development just some fighting. I’ll post the link here when I figure out what the best service is for it. I had it all figured out before my hard drive crashed several months ago and now I don’t remember if I’ve got myself set up again. I’ll shoot for 12-1 pm CST but I may start earlier while I’m getting stuff sorted out. Stream’s done. I’ll see if there’s a better way to do it in the future.
So apparently, Grrl Power won the ComicMix tournament! Well, Paranatural edged us out in actual votes, not by a lot, but some of you guys dropped a few buck on the paid votes, which I admit to having mixed feelings about. Paid votes do make it feel a little too much like actual politics, but I’m not complaining, and the money does go to that fund. Thanks for all your support throughout the tournament! I think the prize is just exposure, but maybe I can convince them to make a little badge for me. Not for the comic. For me, to wear on a gold chain.
In other news, remember the Master of Understatement gag from page 193? Well, people requested a standalone version of it, and I made it then forgot to link it anywhere. So here it is, along with a larger one you can reduce to whatever size you need.
<– Supporting Grrl Power through Patreon earns you karma. Not Reddit karma, real karma, which of course is not real.
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.
What if he’d had super-endurace/armor, or fashioned himself a Nega-cup? You just took a pretty big risk there, Sydney.
Bad guys should be made of piñatas. That way, many more people would be motivated to fight them and the world would be forever safe.
so basically just make citizenship automatically come with a bountyhunter’s license. same general effect
I’ve been reading through the archives again and welp, I feel less intelligent now. I never noticed that the “homerun” move placed on ol shadow ninja there was done using two orbs. (winces) A pincer attack on the family jewels….I have a bit of respect for his ability not to pass out from that one attack alone. Lovely creativity on a well used move though Dave.
I adore comics where when re-read new details spring to the forefront. There’s always something new to laugh, cry, grin, be shocked at, or (in this case) cause empathetic wincing.
Yup, I’m here on business and even I took a moment to reenjoy Sydney crushing two balls with her two balls. Perfection.
I never noticed it. I had to look after reading your comment. XD
Aside from Yugi Motoh point about Sydney taking a risk, I have to wonder, how indestructible are those Orbs and has Sydney taken into consideration that her enemy might have diamond hard skin?
I’d imagine it would be hard to determine exactly how tough the Orbs are without risking destroying them.
Hah! Trope Subverted! She doesn’t even wear the glasses over her eyes anyway!
OH! That’s a Baseball!
any once just notice that instead of being hit in the crotch with one orb the man parts where crushed between two of them
Engine bloullgs are pretty durable, I’m sure.
When will supervillians learn….
Always wear a protective cup to battle (good advice for any man really).
Y’know… considering Sidney has reflexive command over these durable crystal spheres that fly telekinetically under their own power and appear to be of fair weight and capable of moving at high speed… and considering that her ADHD makes her very skilled at analysis and multitasking…
There are the seeds of a very effective personal martial arts style in here that she could make use of even if she had to fight with mittens.
I just noticed that Anvil has a guy in Marshmallow Hell.
