Grrl Power #237 – The tongue is mightier than the sword. Also boobs
Why would you wear a fishnet tanktop to a fight? Especially if we consider that Jabberwokky might be Suicide Girled up all over if you know what I mean. Piercing wise. Well it worked out so good for her.
This was definitely planned as two pages, but I’m always wanting to move things along so despite the extra work I stitched them together. It gives me a little more flexibility with the panel layout so that’s fine. The page presented a minor challenge for me coloring wise. Normally I stick to a set palette because otherwise I’d wind up doing much more dynamic colors like we see in the shadows under Jabber’s jacket. It looks great but it does take longer. Originally my plan with the art in the comic was to do it Tony Wong style. Or Wong Jan-lung if you’re nasty. He’s a Chinese artist who does epic kung-fu comics like Mega Dragon and Tiger, The Legendary Couple, Weapons of the Gods, etc. I reference him because his comics are good “production” level art, but then every few pages, he’ll have a big splash panel where he goes all out on the art. I’ve tried that a few times but I need to speed up more before I’m able to do that.
Speaking of colors, the eagle eyed amongst you (or at least those of you who aren’t mutated wolves with thumbs who read my comic) might have noticed that Dabbler’s stripes go all pink when she’s putting the sapphic whammy on Jaberwokky. Originally Dabbler’s skintone was supposed to reflect her emotions. It would go red if she was mad, pink for randy, etc. Like a lot of other things I refined that idea before she debuted in the comic. So now her stripes change color, but not in response to her emotions, but rather as an indicator of something she’s doing. They have turned another color in the comic before but I don’t recall anyone pointing it out in the comments. It was a busy few panels though. :)
To be clear, I’m not picking on mutated wolves. They could probably tell hot pink from luminous green, but probably not luminous green from aqua. And now that I’ve typed that I can only imagine what percentage of the comments will be about color perception and animals. I’m sure it won’t be the last time it comes up in the comic.
The RSS is still broken I think? I messed with the page a little last week and it seemed to start working for me again, but I keep getting people telling me it’s broken. Unfortunately fixing it starts with eliminating possible sources of the error which means turning off all the plugins I have on the page and seeing if they’re responsible, so if you see the page blowing up real good sometime late Tuesday or Wednesday, that’s probably why.
<— If you enjoy the comic, consider supporting it via Patreon. Or buy something via the Amazon referral link, it’s all good.
Ha ha ha ha! Go Dabbler! You go girl!
This page made me laugh!
Me too! I think Math has found the great love of his life.
I think Math has found unconsciousness and an excuse for the rhinoplastist to get in some practice.
They’re not exclusive. Someone who fights him to a standstill and pulls the perfect cheap shot for the win is his kinda gal. Besides, he wants to count her tattoos. Could be useful intel there.
Totally understand, but don’t like this page, for possibly obvious reasons
Not into Girl-on-Girl or not into not into Mind control. Oh and you may have a problem with math being defeated by boobs. (it objectifies women according to Max) You may also Dislike how Fan-servicey the page is. There are a lot of reason not to like this page so it’s not that obvious Why you don’t.
I, personally, am very much interested in (fictional) mind control, but I am a little burned out on Love/Lust/Obsession themed mind control after Agents Of Shield handled the subject in a… very disappointing manner (the episode in question made me immediately stop watching the series.) It also hits a bit too close to home for me when it comes to real life stuff, drugging someone out of their senses and taking advantage of them sort of thing.
It’s just has too many connotations to rape for me, a sensitive subject matter for me.
Oh, please. It was well-n-truly established ages ago that Math’s letchery verges on the downright obsessive, and almost is invariably his downfall every time.
… Plus, Dabbler swings in so many directions one would probably need n-dimensional maths to plot them.
Accepted that some might be uncomnfortable with certain aspects (as often is the case) but, given all that has been established for these characters, none of the stuff that happens in this panel should be a surprise.
I think there is a trope or stereotype of the lecherous martial arts master, like Roshi, one of the teachers in Kenichi, several in Ranma 1/2…
Only one really in Ranma 1/2. Happosai. Genma’s lazy and greedy. Soun is emotionally incapable. Cologne is deadly serious. The only perverted master is Happosai.
And his pal Lukkosai.
Dave had to do this. Many of us have been predicting that Math’s lechery would be his downfall. Now Math can learn from this experience and grow into a better person.
Naaah.
math learning from lechery?…… NOPE
Au contrair. Math has learned something from lechery.
He’s learned that Jabberwocky looks really nice in a fishnet top.
Dislike how powerful Dabbles is being portrayed
She’s (roughly) half-succubus. The power set she just employed is rather obviously implied in her back-story and many MANY places throughout the story so far. The succubus’ job is to manipulate people via sex for one reason or another. The original reason was to steal semen from sleeping men so that an incubus could impregnate a woman with hell-tainted seed… which was ACTUALLY mostly there to give an excuse for the “chaste” Christian friars/priests/monks/nuns if someone discovered signs of sex. They were still chaste, it was all a demon’s fault!
As the stories evolved over time, the succubi have become a lot more general-purpose. Some steal energy/soul directly via sexual contact as a method of feeding themselves (or gaining power, or as a hellish currency), most have been freed of the “target must be sleeping” trope, some have been freed of the gender limit.
But nothing that Xuriel is currently doing should surprise anyone. Lust is one of the single most powerful human motivators, and she’s (halfway) a race whose entire existence revolves around exploiting that particular urge. She is extremely powerful for two reasons. One: She is a succubus. Two: She’s a hypertech tinkerer. IN THAT ORDER. A large portion of her power comes from being a Sex Bender, her ability to (short-term only probably) control basically anyone on the entire planet? Her ability to read your thoughts and find out your desires? The ability to inspire instant and overwhelming lust? These are very powerful, very useful abilities that she’s demonstrated before. The crazy tech is mostly there so she isn’t a one-trick-pony and as a demonstration of her major weakness.
She is ADD as heck. That’s her drawback. She can’t focus, she lacks discipline, she enjoys goofing around, she plays the showwoman, she just generally doesn’t use her full abilities all the time (maybe she can’t?). But if she NEVER uses her abilities in a fight when they’re warranted, then why would she be a member of ArcSwat?
I’d guess some strong willed people, that know what’s happening, would probably be able to resist Dabbler’s lust powers, atleast partially.
We got a hint to that when we first got an intruduction to Dabblers powers, here https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/601
Everyone in the room was effected, but only Maxima had the willpower to really refuse to give in. The rest, even those that knew what was happening, had to focus all their attention to resist (except for Zephan, who was thinking about embracing it).
Now that was offcourse a pritty weak version of her powers, intended only to mess with Maxima.
We also know that Dabbler has fought Maxima to a standstill. If her lust power really was powerfull enough to incapacitate anyway, it wouldn’t have been a fight, it’d have been a domination. We don’t know how much it managed to distract Maxima though
Well, you’re going to hate Maxima than
Not so obvious. Care to expound?
Do people just pick and choose the words they want to read?
The first 2 words were “TOTALLY UNDERSTAND” which means that understand why/how Dabbles is doing it, just don’t like it
Rant away, but you can’t just claim that two words should make your intent clear when you write a sentence such as this one:
You don’t even manage to close it with punctuation, making it a vague statement which may not even be a finished thought which just happens to have the words “Totally understand” in it while even admitting that the reasons may not be obvious at all.
Communicate more clearly and completely and you may not have this problem in the future. Or continue to vomit out whatever half formed thoughts you might have in your brain and them blame everyone but yourself when no one has a freaking clue what the hell you’re talking about. It’s a clear choice.
Wow! You sure taught me, will remember to run any future comments by you to make sure they are acceptable and perfectly clear in meaning
No need to get snarky. You posted a vague statement. Someone asked you to clarify what you meant and you blew up all over the place.
A simple answer without hostility would have been enough to keep this civil.
GAWD DAMN, DABBLER!!
Jabberwokyy has clearly discovered Math’s greatest weakness.
Amen and good night Math. They really tore into each other. Lucky he was out cold when Dabbler turned on the charm spell. That nose bleed could have been fatal.
It still could be. While he probably landed face-down, if the blood gets into his lungs, well he could end up drowning, at least in part.
If so, at least he’d die happy. (Kidding)
ALL HAIL BOOBIES!
And hope for a Math-eye view of said boobies. FANSERVICE FANSERVICE FANSERVICE!!!!
Maybe as a voting incentive?
I believe the quote is: “All hail the power of the boobies!” but I forget where it’s from. =)
Well Exiern has “Bwahaha! Behold the power of my cleavage!” – Close enough?

Also a good one from Misfile:

So… early…
pulling a master roshi in a super fight math thats what you get
Alas for Math, Master Roshi can get knocked thru a mountain and get up muttering about the lack of respect in hitting him while he’s distracted! Fairly sure, as he’s not supposed to have any powers, Math is nowhere near that tough.
Roshi is supposedly mmortal, something about phoenix feather or some other BS.
All the Dragonball characters are based on Journey to the West where they are Gods or so close it makes no difference. Son Goku is based on Son Wukong the Monkey King who apparently erased his name and the name of a bunch of his monkey generals from the books of the dead so that the underworld couldn’t track them or go collect them….ever.
Wukong is immortal for like four or five different reasons. Taoist alchemy, eating the Peaches of Immortality, erasing those names, the list goes on…
We have been wondering about the bad guys being mind controlled. Looks like a confirmed case right here.
Yeah, but not mind controlled in the way many thought :P
I was accusing Guesticus of overheating last strip. Now I’m turning the fire hose on myself. (gurgle)
If (that’s “if,” mind you; it’s not yet established by Dave that these villains are already mind-controlled) the villains here have been mind-controlled into this attack, it was done in a subtle & widely-diffused manner…All Dabbler did was override it in a specific individual. If Dabbler has a middle name at all, it’s not going to be “Subtlety.” Subtlety is just not really in the Nature of a succubus…
In the greater, metaphysical context, the concept of succubi lies in the fact that we are all living in a world of matter & physical laws govern over that matter. No one is immune to the demands of the flesh; we must eat, we must breathe, etc. Our very existence in this world of matter imposes its own demands upon us, whether we like it or not.
Boobs power!!!!!!!!!!
Never ever underestimate the power of Booby style! It has been gobsmacking men since forever.
In a manner of speaking, Math just rode the motorboat to Hell…
Pretty sure that involves only 1-face-&-2-breasts – no knee.
They got close, but the knee got there 1st, so it’s only an “Almost Motorboat”-type of tease, at best.
I’d be willing to bet that, in Math’s mind, face met boobs before knee met face.
So near, yet so far…
In this format, the page works best as a single page, when you publish on papyrus you could make it 2 facing pages (like with other pages that you have/will combine for visual/pacing reasons)
I wonder if the proper place for the page break being Math getting his nose broken is coincidence or is Dave being clever?
Was thinking Jabbs’ jacket being ripped open being the last panel on one page, with google-eyed Math the first of the next
Have to say, I did expect Math to end up sleeping with Jabberwocky after it was all said and done. This works too.
Well, Math is sleeping and Jabberwocky was responsible, so Math was sleeping with Jabberwocky.
I accept this explanation.
Oh right, so “Pangolin Style” makes J harder to hurt. (Pangolin – scaly anteater; mammal covered with hard scales.)
Maybe she just has a weird accent because of the fat lip and she was going for ‘flightless antarctic waterfowl’ style.
Hey! Jabber has a tiger tattoo on her back.
Yeah, noticed that after noticing she hasn’t been affected by gravity’s harsh pull yet (and yes, some women are blessed to still be that ‘perky’ without enchancements to the structual integrety ;))
Was also wondering if she has other tattoos like that loser from the loserer Electra movie (and not Carmen’s sextape)
Possible she has tattoos for each animal power. Magic icons gained at some exotic locale. Math has some claw marks among the bruises.
As to perky. Well-developed chest muscles provide considerable support on their own.
Oh ghod. She has a blue-footed booby tattoo to allow her to use the booby style attack.
or may be a pair of nice blue tits
how many tattoos does she have?
We have only seen the eagle and tiger. I was just guessing about there being more to see. Or maybe I was hoping we would get to see more.
She’s also in the middle of throwing her arms up in that shot so if I was drawing boob physics, I could say they’re mid-bounce there.
Was talking more about the ’emergancy nose reallignment’ panel below that one :P
Well, I’d say it looks better this way. Boobs look so much better when they’re not depicted at a moment when gravity or inertia is mis-shaping them…
Makes me think of the manga Crying Freeman.
On one hand, this kind of character design detail been done before. On the other, it’s not bad and quite understandable.
pretty much as much as i was expecting from math…
i hope his nose hurts for “lil” while hehe
Given the few ways someone can beat Math I expected this.
Actually I hoped to be surprised.
i gotta admit that i was sort off hoping too.
plus the fact that it looks like dabbler is pulling all the work… makes me wonder if the rest of the team is taking a break in the end.
i just imagine this “sorry syndical 15 minutes break” and all of them catching their breaths in a corner. hehe
If Math didn’t have a broken nose before, he will have now :P
Or maybe Jabbs straightened it out for him (no more snoring/trouble breathing for him now ;))
Jabber seems to have done more damage to Math. Although that jacket might be hiding some of the bruises.
Math reacted a bit too fast on this one. As soon as he heard her say ‘pangolin’, he should have realized that might mean some tongue action.
Either way, he’s happily defeated.
Good grief. Archon’s #3 in effective fighting ability (after Max and Dabbler) has a weakness that completely negates his abilities despite being such a formidable fighter. And now he’s down.
(Though, to be fair, I’d be just as distracted by an equally beautiful woman myself.)
Well, that has pretty much been Math’s whole shtick: being a lecherous perv (it is even confirmed in his “Who’s Who”)
True dat, but I’m worried about it one day becoming lethal for him.
And given the current situation, that’s 3 Archon members down, while Math’s KO status means they’ve just lost on of their best fighters in this battle.
Dabbler charming Jabber evens it out a little, though.
And turning her on two of the more suspicious characters left standing. Well the guy anyway. But I expect they are a package deal.
What makes you think Math is down? He took a hit. He fell to the ground. He may well bounce back up and start complaining about Dabbler taking away his opponent on the next page.
Jabber looked pretty confident that Math was KOed. Still, he may heal fast.
No, Math is not a super in anyway, just a well trained ‘normal’
The “CHUD” sound effect combined with the elevation of his boot indicates that Math, the consummate martial artist, wasn’t able to do a damn thing about protecting his head from hitting the pavement. Which can only mean that he is either stunned or out. My vote is for out, given the front and back pummeling his skull just took.
Hah! Maths dowfall SO reminds me of how they got the better on Deception during the last battle of the Crossover Wars… SO fitting! :D
… and who can blame him? :p
Hah! Not an anime, and then he gets a nosebleed. Nice one.
Usually the nosebleed is spontaneous. Math had some help.
“slight” help yeah
Trying to figure out what that grey space with the white line through it is in the space above Jabbs’ head beside the tree and below her bubble in the first panel
There is a low wall behind the two villains, possibly it’s part of that same wall differently lit. Just have to guess until the view pulls back for a long shot of parking lot.
That bit that is between them, is part of the parking lot (it has red lines on both sides with perpendicular yellow lines)
It looks like a steel guard rail at the edge of the parking lot in the background with a highway bridge in the far background.
Actually, considering all the damage the battle’s causing, I would not be surprised if it was a large section of parking lot or road.
It’s the side of another building across the little grass island thing. I’ve been thinking it’s a tune-n-lube or something.
that sounds faintly fetishy
Woot! Tony Wong! Never thought I’d see that name anywhere other than in the Chinese comics I used to read! Loved his work and one of the earliest comics I’ve read!
When going to vote on TWC, I noticed that GrrlPower currently has position #1
Todays comic also features a braless woman in a fishnet top.
Coincidence?
I think not.
It also features a topless math
Oh and Dabbler “persuading” jabberwokky to do something for her
DOMINATED
Sorry to jump on the grammar-nazi train, Dave, but “succubi’s” is plural possessive; it should probably be “succubus’.”
Isn’t succubus a male?
A succuba, several succubae, a succuba’s power over such and such?
Actually, if I’m not mistaken the male counterpart of a succubus is an incubus. ;-)
I have an old and trustworthy encyclopedia telling me that the “-ba” and “-bus” endings of Succuba and Incubus indicate the gender of the creature in question, while “Succu-” and “Incu-” essentially means “Lying beneath” and “Lying on top”, as Berpol says.
According to the old tome, “Incuba” and “Succubus” were thought to exist as well, but were supposedly not spoken of since a woman lying on top of a man is apparently the more disturbing part of the whole rape demon schtick.
no, typically a male succubus is referred to as an Incubus, just like how an Android is male, but a Gynoid is a female robot, rarely used, but technically correct.
Correct, succubus is female (constructed from Latin “to lie under”) while incubus is male (“to lie upon”).
But android is as genderneutral as mankind and similar words.
I did not know that and will soon be repeating your unverified factoid until someone else corrects me with a different fact.
DarkStar One featured the a predominately female genetically & cybernetically enhanced super-human race called the “Thul” (pronounced to rhyme with “fool” not “full”) with servant “Mandroids”
It’s a bit difficult to argue technical accuracy when dealing with words made up by science fiction writers to describe things that don’t exist yet.
“Android” comes from the prefix “Andro-“, which means “male” and the word “Humanoid”, which means “similar in appearance to a human”. An “android” is a machine that looks like a male human. A machine that looks like a human female would be a “gynoid”.
The people who wrote the original Star Trek tv series apparently didn’t know that.
That’s ok. They also didn’t know the difference between “Decimate” – to destroy one tenth of something, and “Devastate” – to destroy much, or most, of something.
And “technically correct” is the best kind of correct there is! – Futurama
Incubus is the male term.
Depends on where you take it from I guess.
Since succubi are demons they should’nt have a gender per se, but AFAIK they are usually depicted as females in christian mythology. I think the most widely accepted terminology is that succubi are female and incubi are the corresponding male part of the… “race” or whatever.
Over at Dan And Mab’s Fabulous Adventures the race is called ‘cubi’.
I believe there are also myths where Succubi can change form, including gender, based on their target.
So in those storys, Incubi and Succubi are just different forms of the same entity
That was the Vatican’s stance on the issue, back when. It explained how a woman could become pregnant by an incubus.
And why the child bore a remarkable resemblance to the Bishop
Amen ;-)
Somebody, please help me. I can’t stop laughing and my coworkers think I’ve lost my mind.
Don’t try to explain why you’re laughing. That will just confirm to them that you’ve gone nuts.
Send the address https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/ over your company’s internal communications system and then good times will be had by all, but productivity might slip a bit every Monday and Thursday afternoon (I am assuming you are in a European time-zone.).
East Coast U.S. So I end up spitting coffee all over my iPhone every Monday and Thursday.
the solution is very clear, do no read this comic while drinking your coffee!
You mean: Do not drink coffee while reading this comic
Indeed! Priorities, people!
Jabber’s facial expressions are fantastic, as is the effect in panel three. The dialogue on this page feels a little weird though. A little too much telling (“Oh, I’m so hypnotized!” “Wow, bewbs!”) a little too little showing. Which is not meant as an endorsement of a higher visual boob count. At least not primarily.
The above criticism is not to be taken harshly; I adore this webcomic, I’m just trying to point out areas of potential improvement.
I bet Math isn’t KO but instead checking with Leon if he could get a copy of his fight.. in HD :D
Dave B dogs have 2 color receptors yellow and blue (we have a third red) so they do see color just not as much. I think they are more than compensated by their much greater ability to smell. In some cases dogs have detected cancers too small for us to find just by smell.
Dogs have rods (good for low light levels) taking the place of the low-frequency cones. Also, they have a very reflective coating in the back of the eye, which is why a dog’s eyes seem to glow at night. A lot of other animals do too, especially those that are most active at dusk and down.
Well I didn’t mention them because they don’t detect color. We also have rods but not as many. The Blue Man Group explained it in a fun way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-yLfm5HsHc
In panel 6, I notice that Jabberwokky is not wearing a bra. In panel 8, I noticed that it looked like she was; it took me a few seconds to realize that it was just a “modesty” lighting effect. With breasts that big, she will definitely be wanting to wear a sports bra before doing all that jumping around. Does she have supportive cups built into that jacket?
Oh well, I guess this is all covered in “The Most Common Superpower” over on TvTropes.com .
Part of being a super is the body to go with it. Comic drawing guides will show that normal just don;t look like that. Real people are like 6-61/2 heads high while supers are 7 or more. No super has small bewbs and none wear bras so yes all part of the super package. Also they don’t age like normal.
I would like to refute that all Comic Supers have that with my favorite example. Kitty Pryde *purrs*
Yeah, I guess she is usually part of the A-Team.
Tisk-tisk. Kitty Pryde looks that way because she’s supposed to be in her early teens, and her body isn’t fully developed.
I’m pretty sure there have been times when all-grown-up Kitty Pryde has been shown thanks to time travel, alternate universes, age rays, or whatever. She’s no “A” cup.
she was a bartender in chicago for a while and she’s never gotten past the “B”s she sure as hell never got to the “need a bra with a vibranium underwire to hold them up” stage
While Kitty was originally introduced as a slight young girl who was probably on the A team, various artists always seem to need to change things up, and she’s been pictured as a D or DD also. You might have missed it due to the fact that even a DD looks small next to the typical superheroic breast size.
ugh, the fact that an image search of Kitty is like 50% fanart and cosplay,25% X-men Evolution Kitty,20% Ellen Page, it’s almost impossible to find an actual comic page with her in it.
I ran into the same issue when I tried to look for “official” pics of Kitty as a D cup. Sadly, the amount of fanart (and outright Kitty porn, disgusting pun intended) outweighed any chance of finding a picture which supported my memory of those comics.
So, you’ll just have to take my word for it! :)
I though that normal people are about 6-7 heads, and Supers tend to be 8..?
(Personally, I’m about 7.5 “heads tall”, but only in the “lanky, skinny and unimpressive” sort of way, not the “8 tall, 4 wide and giving workout tips to Herakles & Atlas” sort of way… TT_TT)
(No, this does not imply a lack of normality on my part. It merely confirms it! xD)
I got the numbers wrong an average person is 7.5 heads and a heroic figure is 8.5 heads high. And in DAVE’S world all supers get sexy bods. Other comics may be different Dave B. is not responsible for how other comics present their supers and they have sole responsibility for any problems or issues that arise from how they present their supers.
Monologing is never a good idea when you are within punching or kicking distance.
Personally, I only monologue after I’ve won… no-one’s conscious to listen to me, but I don’t get smacked down in the middle of my speech.
How long does the charm spell last once Jabber is clear of the hypno-boobs?
1 round per level of caster, so she should get in two or three good hits before she gets taken out.
“What are you oof talking about? Inhuffsult DabOw!bler? Stop that!” Flurry of activity “And stay down! Now where is the bitch that sent Jabber after me?” Limps over toward Dabbler. “Turn one of my people into a weapon against me, will you?”
“Yup! Here try this. It does not affect my species, but I understand it does a number on primates. Hmm, it looks like it does. Okay who’s next? Ah Math looks so peaceful lying there.”
or is it a Dominate effect that lasts 1 day per caster?
I get this feeling Dabbler’s 7 power level is an under estimate.
I did wonder how Math’s limited strength level would match up to supers, but I would guess there’s supers with less than above human levels of ability to take a punch, they’re just usually not in a fight to get thrown through a wall. :)
Agreed, she is extremely capable, but I think it has less to do with her extremely broad powerset and more to do with the fact that she’s very skilled at getting maximum utility out of her powers
exactly, remember she’s at LEAST as old as any 2 members of Archon combined. Her individual powers are mainly in the 1-2 star range, it’s her variety of abilities and her experience that makes her effective.
“Succubi” is the plural.
You mean “Or a succubus’s power over anyone”.
I’m really starting to dislike Dabbler, defeating everyone with pure BS
okay DaveB, you piqued my curiosity, so I had to go searching
I have to admit I never noticed this one, but in https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1062, panels 7 & 8, Dabbler’s stripes do indeed go from teal to TRON Blue while she summons the railgun
Odd, though, that they don’t seem to change in the multiple castings she does in her fight with Heavenly Sword…
on the couch during the robbery she was also a much deeper purple (More amethyst than lavender)
And I’m surprised nobody’s noticed that when she puts her whammy on Jabber her ears are glowing pink. Pheromone emissions perhaps?
NVM. I didn’t read the blog first or notice her stripes were doing the same thing. But now I wonder what color they turn when she’s being…satisfied…
I also went a-lookin’ for the “other” time Dabbler’s stripes changed collor and I couldn’t find it till I saw your link Jee… however I Still don’t see the differance in collour between her usual teal and what you call TRON-Blue… I’d say her stripes appear a bit glowy with power which I assume is an effect of using her teleportation-summoning but when you speak of the pallet-differance… I just don’t see it…
DaveB, the man the myth the legend, would be great if you could give a hint or two on this issue dude?
On this page https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1343 Dave actually mentions in his comments that as Dabbler’s power level goes down (feel free to use the words ‘Dabbler and ‘goes down’ in your own snarky follow-up comment) the intensity of the color in the pattern fades.
You guys need to adjust the cyan level on your screens or something. On my iPad it’s clear that in #164 Dabbs’ stripes go from the usual warm teal to a neutral torquoise as she reaches into ‘hammerspace’.
I happen to not be a mutated wolf, but even after you pointed it out, I can’t actually see any difference in Dab’s stripes. I happen to be Red/Green color deficient, so I guess that means telling the difference between- what did you call them? Aqua and pink? is impossible for me.
Honestly, I thought her stripes were a light grey.
I’m not getting the rss. I’m getting this error message
XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity

RSS seems to be working this morning. Yippee!
It’s obvious that Math is clever but not smart, and easily distracted. Don’t forget he was taken out by Harem with a pool cue while he was distracted by his own cleverness.
So that’s how the nudity-induced nosebleed works in western comics … ;)
Hee-hee-hee was the part of the comic that made me lol :D
DaveB, please tell me it was deliberate?
Pretty sure Math’s actual nosebleed was caused by an earlier hit by Jabberwokky. The knee lift would just make things worse for Math.
