Grrl Power #281 – The power of the grrls
I think some of you had guessed this… I also think those who did were mostly kidding. :) I’m not going to lie to you, this is one of my favorite pages so far. :) It took a lot research online to get certain… aspects correct. It was brutal, but those are the lengths I’m willing to go to for you guys. BTW Dabbler’s not slipping nip there on the page, at least not technically. That’s another stripe peaking over the top of her corset. A corset which is clearly magical.
For the record, Sydney should be standing well out of arm’s reach from Vehemence. If nothing else, lightning strong enough to pin Maxima would turn Sydney into an ashen statue of herself like in the Terminator 2 dream if one of those arcs strayed her way, but I needed to draw them close enough so their expressions were visible.
I’ve got two pieces of fan art for you, one is a cute and quirky Sydney which sort of reminds me of Rugrats, or Ed, Edd and Eddy. The other is of everyone’s favorite arch-villain, by AegisKHAOS.
Here’s the link to the new comments highlighter for chrome, and the GitHub link which you can use to install on FireFox via Greasemonkey.
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.
So I was eating a pizza, and a thought popped into my head. I postulate that Sidneys original plan was to slap V in the eye with the tenticle, the way she got hit by a rogue spicy noodle. It would be a small act of violence so not much in the power up for V, and it would disrupt his concentration since it would hurt no matter how powerful he is.
Beating him is all about being effient. Minimum violence to maxium effect.
I know this comment is little late coming, but my brain is Special.
It may not have hurt, but it would have likley triggered a reflex to jerk his head away. Not flinching from something coming at our face and direct at your eye takes a great deal of deliberate willpower to overcome. Such as a long standing faith in your own invincibility (see Achilles who too an enegy blade to eye without even blinking).
Another option would be to try and cram it up his nose, or dip it in cold water and wiggle it in his ear. Actually many of things the Molest-Orb would bring to mind would be equally distracting.
“Not flinching from something coming at our face and direct at your eye takes a great deal of deliberate willpower to overcome.”
Achilles has apparently had little problem overcoming it…https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1358
Achilles knows for a fact that absolutely nothing can hurt him, and has for a long time, and often plans most of his strategies to take advantage of that fact. He has probably long since lost the flinch reflex. Vehemence, on the other hand, is not generally very indestructible, so, while he knows that right now nothing can probably hurt him, his flinch reflex to the unexpected thing zooming visibly toward his face is probably very much still ingrained in his psyche.
Have you seen math?
At the moment all you can see is his eyes. Bottom middle panel, leaning in from the left. Doing his Marty Feldman impression.

Hahaha, your comment ages both of us. :)
Her corset would of course be magically sticky, as one doesn’t want to use ones “spells” at random, but at the maximum point of advantage.
Which makes me wonder what the magical word of release would be. “Looky Here” would be sort of superfluous I think ?.
…The first thing that popped into my head for a magical release word was ‘Wonder Twin Powers Activate!’. I’m not sure what that says about me.
One of us! Like it or not.
Love it. Wish it was used. Most epic visual in my head right now.
Ok, Sahira. Webby’s going through your unmentionables. =P
That phrase leads me to thinking that I have to Free Willy…
I really wish people would stop going on about running out of oxygen. A few quick calculations indicate that it will likely be at least two hours before anyone inside the shield needs to worry about more than stuffy air. If they were to all simply sit around and rest they might have enough air for days. People use a lot less air than many seem to realize. Also, there is no chance of running out without realizing, at least for Sydney. Carbon dioxide buildup makes your lungs start to burn long before the oxygen levels get dangerously low. I don’t know if Max and V would feel that or if their damage resistance would protect them from something like that.
Well, I and some other folk have tried to take up that particular banner from time to time cause its true that Sydney has a lot of time before she would suffocate even in a small shield. More than enough time for most fights. But it will continue to come up because of a direct comment from the author that he changed Sydney’s shield to an airtight one expressly to give her the oxygen time limit weakness demonstrated in comic when she felt off and Maxima yelled at her to drop the shield and refresh her air.
So I guess we are supposed to believe that the shield itself burns oxygen faster or something.
Or maybe in this case Vehemence’s electric arcs are altering the air trapped in the shield? Hard to find lots of articles detailing what arcs do to ordinary air other than turning the part it passes through to plasma. But so far I haven’t found any scientists saying, “And be sure to leave the window open when running experiments with electric arcs in the open air.”
As so many folk like to remind me whenever I try to apply too much logic to this comic, “Magic!” XD
lightning strikes can change O2 (breathable Oxygen) into Ozone (single Oxygen atom and non-breathable). It’s noticable around say electrical generators in power plants. V’s electrical discharge could, (and I do say COULD in the theoretical sense) lower the Oxygen levels in the shield by changing it to Ozone.
Ouch!
Ozone is a molecule that has three oxygen atoms.
OOPS. I stand corrected, Thanks. Been awhile since Chem class.
Fine smarty pants. Breathable Oxygen.
Ozone is actually a supervillain. It lurks in the Ozone Lair.
Badum-tsss
*searches for like button on Xenau’s comment*

That’s odd. I always thought the O zone was the part of the atmosphere between the N zone and the P zone.
I can tell you the X-Zone is a eternal party, like Valhalla with less fighting and more bouncing.
While I in general agree… your statements assume normal people undertaking normal activities. Throw in super powers and magic….
How fast does V burn air if he is producing 6 megawatts of electric current?
Have you taken concentration gradients into account with those calculations? Simply calculation the volume of the space by the concentration of the oxygen in the air would be highly misleading. The CO2 is the real main player in respiration.
As the O2 gets used up, the CO2 levels would rise. If the concentration of CO2 in their air supply raises above the level of the CO2 in their blood, breathing would become labored, as the body won’t be able to exchange CO2 for more O2.
This would happen much sooner than they would run out of O2.
Oh, and I am more in your camp than the “OH GODS! THEY CAN’T BREATH!!!” camp. I mostly ask out of curiosity.
What you guys are really forgetting is this. Let’s assume that V does, in fact, need to breathe. He notices that breathing isn’t going as well as normal. He already knows he’s in a force field Sydney created. He puts 2 and 2 together. With all his spare Vehemic energy, he does something to make Sydney lose concentration on the shield or knock her unconscious. (I’d go with a force choke or force pull followed by flicking her in the forehead. With V, that’s minimum unconsciousness and a concussion.)
Everyone is also seeming to forget that the whole ‘shield is airtight’ thing is something DaveB ‘added’ comparatively recently, rather than his original plan in the comic. So if he had a general idea of what was going to happen with Vehemence, it’s sort of unlikely that relying on it being airtight would be a focal part of the plan.
Of course, given how so far DaveB has both done the ‘keep V in the shield with Sydney’ and ‘use boobs against V’ – maybe he will use lack of air as well for all I know. :)
I actually think that in this case she means it in the literal sense that her boobs are hypnotic in that they are magically enchanted to draw the attention of those that stare at them. She is not misusing the term.
That is what DaveB meant: Dabbles did use the term correctly, but people are so used to using incorrectly they don’t notice when it isn’t
Enchanted or enchanting? Lets keep that one rhetorical.
Those 2 beautiful mounds of flesh are enchanted, at least. To say they are enchanting can mean both the figure of speech and the literal/physical meaning.
I’ve seen a few complaints here that “Wait, Dabbler’s powers can’t work on V, this is not right” or a variant; and I would just like to point out that the only person who has actually said that was V, himself.
So, yeah, trust the villian to tell the truth about his weak spots.
He thought they wouldn’t work. Either he was unaware of the hypnoboob effect or badly underestimated his ability to resist a non-violent attack. If you want to stretch the definition of attack worse than Xuriel’s top is getting stressed.
Could it be said that they were bouncing “violently”?
I know some people type “LOL” but this literally made me laugh out loud.
I thought V was just talking about a spell cast at him. Not a “natural” ability, however magic in nature, of her race.
Though what some of the people saying this are referring to is the fact that Sydney’s shield is in the way and has proven itself capable of blocking a similar effect from V’s energies.
In this case, it’s not a Lust Aura but a visual stimulous (heck, even Maxi is affected, and so would Sydney if, for once, and even with her meds running out, she wasn’t currently hyper-focused)
And, as we found out in no uncertain terms, force fields don’t block light if they’re see-through. This is probably how Sydney knows that from the prologue.
Sure that’s possible, course now we have a quote from Dave saying its a threshold matter so it is an actual effect of some kind beyond the visual getting through.
Well, the more people stare at Dabbler’s boobs, the more powerful her boobs become.
…My word, she could exploit this even worse than Vehemence could exploit violence, couldn’t she?
I wonder if the effect works through a television screen? They’ve got several camera crews within range.
I wish Toph was here. She’d show this evil avatar wannabe why his correct name is “twinkle toes”!
Given the shield still allows sound and light to get through, kinda makes sense something akin to extreme low level magic could get through as well. After all, boobs, as awesome as they are, in motion or otherwise, are not gonna be hypnotic by themselves (I’ve seen plenty for, y’know, research purposes).
sorry to say but dave forgot the agro-aura in panel 4 of last comic where you see dabs by the shield before the aura was dropped which I checked to see if a little aura had passed the edge of the shield (thought I had seen it) supporting the limited (safe?) flow through allowed concept
I’m talking about the hypno-boobs, not the aggro pie. Dave has confirmed that the low level magic from the boobs can get through the shield. Aggro aura is something else.
the aura making it just inches past the shield would be letting a limited (or safe?) level of power though, I was meaning like the light over a set level is stopped concept but below that is allowed to pass
I think I see what you mean now, but I see nothing that indicates that. All I’ve seen is the shield flat out cutting the aura by all indications. Any other light, it’s the shield doing the lighting effect.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1572
The last page, Dave forgot to include the aggro aura on the panel you pointed out, and the other panels, Sydney is not leaning against the shield. There is nothing to show anything from the aura that is partially sticking out.
What I’m saying, magic as small as the hypno-boobs is like the equivalent of sound getting through is what I’m getting at. Anything more grand, and the shield won’t filter that out, and will practically cut it right off. Think of it that way, and it makes sense.
Darn it why didn’t anyone realize this before!
The answer was boobs all along and I never saw this suggested once!
Its so obvious now! Boobs have unlimited potential and can accomplish anything!
and while we’re the subject of boobs I have a question…. Are Dabbler’s Nipples Purple or Green? I’m just wondering if there’s like a stripe going across them that would cause them to be a different color.
Not a major issue but now that the day will soon be saved I think its safe to ask the more light hearted questions
The most we get is a strip slip, so the mystery of her nips remain. ;p
maybe we will find out in the next valentines day sex drive
Cherry Red, just for visual emphasis? =P
The thing is … when Anvil calls Sydney the “big guns” it isn’t supposed to be sarcastic, and yet Sydney has pretty small boobs.
That’s because the PPO is Orb version 6, and one of the unknowns is v5…
I wonder if its me, but in the last panel when Dabbler jumps, does it look like Sydney expanded the shield and let her in?
She couldn’t, the lighthook only appears outside the shield and it’s still around Dabbler.
Nope. The Lighthook must be outside the shield, and at least part of it is blocking our view of Dabbler’s leg, so she’s very definitely outside the shield.
Can see how it would look that way, but Dabbles is simple really close to the bubble
Dammit guys i don’t care if Max said it was the Lighthook, the only one and TRUE name of that ball is The Molestorb
I was just re-reading that scene. Sydney really wanted to call it The Violator.
If she can ‘hump’ them, likely separately, have Harem bring in an oxygen mask, and a couple tanks of sleeping gas. Have Sydney put the mask on, signal to Max to hold her breath, and use the tanks to flood the shield area with the sleeping gas. V passes out and can be dealt with afterwards as deemed appropriate by a judge.
Harem can’t teleport through the shield, Sydney would have to drop the shield and at that point anyone could toss the stuff in there, though that would also create an opportunity for V to unleash his aggro-aura and possibly draw the melee fighters like hiro and stalwart to close to himself for the aura-blocking shield-trick to work again.
Has it been stated yet whether or not Harem can pop into the shield? Also, Harem can just put the stuff next to the shield and then Syd can expand the shield a couple feet to get it.
Yes it has been explicitly stated that Harem cannot teleport through Sydney’s shield.
It’s, in fact, already shown that Harem can’t pop into the shield. See the Shadow Boxer fight for that one. Embiggen around the tank supply? I think she needs to turn the shield off, but seeing as V is distracted, why not?
Nope and also nope.
If they want to pass anything into the shield, Sydney needs to drop it. Which she can at this point.
I guess visually transmitted hypnotic effects don’t interact with the shield.
This fight has had some remarkably bad planning on both sides, really. Sydney has been more than a little lucky.
The jumprobe is probably extraneous at this point.
If all the distraction works perfectly and Sydney is behind him etc… sure why not.
Possibly aided by her previous fumbles since with each mistake V must be taking her threat level less seriously.
There is also the fact that, so far as we know, Sydney can only generate the force field around herself. She would be trapped in there with V. The gas would take at least a few seconds to fill the area at least as long as a normal human can hold their breath while moving to take effect. Either way, Sydney is a scrawny geek and Vel is at least Olympian level in fitness (all natural supers are, and this is discounting his “buffs”).
In other words, he can get Sydney before the gas gets him. He may not intend to kill her now, since he does not see her as a threat.. But if she become the only thing between him and not being gassed, she will be.
Actually since he would have to let go of Max to get at Syd, and Max is more than willing to kill him, he probably won’t go after Sydney.
Anyways, I did say tanks, since large tanks can holds hundreds of cubic feet of air, several of them will very quickly fill the shield with gas, then there are just a few seconds for him to be affected by it.
I suppose this is a stupid question, but… any particular reason that he’d have to let go of Max to attack Sydney? I mean, granted Max is unlikely to be cooperative, but, at least at present, she’s using all of her pool to stay alive, so he’s enough stronger than her that he can fling her around like a rag doll.
None that I could think of. Between his force push and his own strength, if not for hypno-boobs, I see nothing that requires V to let go of Max at all even to take out Sydney.
V tries to throw leander she will switch to flight so no hitting scoville and be free to gold beam his ass
See, that’s my point, though. Why throw? Why not use her as a flail or a club?
Throw? Who said anything about throw? V can carry Max with one hand. Leap with Max in hand, slam her back on the ground. Use Max as human shield or a glorified human flail as whisakedjak also suggests if need be. He doesn’t need to throw. He doesn’t need to let go at all.
the crushing leander into the ground is part of the choke/electrocute attack so picking her up is the same as letting go to a strong extent, try to swing her or jump with her and she pulls herself off target
No, picking her up simply means he’s no longer pinning her to the ground. He can still grip her real good. Plus, she’s too focused on keeping her armor up, so all V has to do is slam her to the ground to pin her again, and given his own speed, it’s far too quick to convert to one of her other abilities and escape.
Dabbler’s jump rope, however, where he is loosening his grip without realizing it, is another story.
Well as soon as he is no longer amused I assumed his next move would be to kill Maxima not fling her about. Unless he was lying/bluffing about having enough juice to do it now.
Note 2 self:
Do not eat in front of computer while Reading Grrl Power.
Had a mouth full of noodles when I realized what was going on, nearly choked myself to Death while laughing.
THIS should be a warning posted in the header!
Or even better, “Do not eat or drink in front of the computer while reading Grrl Power.”
There has already been quite a few comments related to liquids being sprayed…
Keyboards needing replaced, etc etc.
This is specifically why I got a thin rubber/silicone keyboard skin to cover my keyboard. True story.
that’s why I get $5 keyboards.
Ah yes, I’ve thought about getting a keyboard condom myself. Fortunately I’m normally pretty good about not splorting beverages.
This is a bad time to refer to “liquids being sprayed”
In more than one way.
( math appears shaking a bottle of juice )
Internet Darwin Award time?
Dabbler’s bio lists her great intelligence and incredible mathematical abilities among her assets.
Boing, boing, boing!
I believe that you have outdone Tim Burton’s “Mars Attacks” in creating an absolutely ludicrous weakness for the villain.
Don’t forget the un-boing! ;)
Kinda reminds me of a page on SGVY where Yuuki in male form did a few ‘non-squish, non-squish’ on his chest. :P
Well, Dave’s already been using some pretty unique “sound effects” in the comic. This is the first comic where I’ve seen “Invisible Grope,” “7-10 Split,” and now “Unboing” being used.
Not to mention Sydney’s ‘home-run’ as opposed to the musical annotation.
That was my favorite part of this whole page. 2nd page being “I am conflicted” because Maxima is clearly seeing the danger of Sydney and Dabbler becoming friends.
They started behaving like two sisters back during the interview. They have a lot in common really.
Unfair. It’s not a villain weakness. It’s a damn-near-everyone weakness, in universe. Literally hypnotic and all.
I’ll admit, I almost giggled out loud when I caught on.
Never mind in-universe, it’s a fairly widespread weakness in any universe through distraction alone. Who needs magic when you’ve got millions of years of instinct already in place?
Being a woman with large breasts myself, there is no way they can be shaped like that and NOT be showing some nip with the corset riding that low… That said…
This is ALMOST what I was thinking would happen, but I still don’t know what use it is.
Magic corset
Are we sure her areola aren’t green? Because, if they are….
Unless she can retract her nips.
Its a good thing the news crews are likely still recovering from beating each other up, and maybe don’t have cameras trained on this. Maybe….
DaveB: not sure if maybe panels 4 5 & 6 were happening to quickly, or you simply forgot to move the ‘tickertape’ in two of those panels :D
But it’s still great to see the detailing again :D
I get the feeling if they literally had hypnotic powers the shield would block it. Still the looks would distracted you on their own.
Literally, hypnosis is NOT magic, it’s psychological. You don’t need to be using magic to hypnotize someone. Even if Dabbler’s boobs are “magically hypnotic,” the “magic” part isn’t getting through the force field, but the psychological effect is getting through.
There’s also the fact that Sydney’s shield may not be leveled up to block it yet. There are still plenty of talent options for all of the orbs, and blocking out hypnotic or other passive yet harmful effects may be one of the talents for the shield orb, should Sydney choose to buy it.
Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like the shield being drawn as behind Dabbler in this page. If Sydney was lying about not being able to put the lighthook inside the shield as part of a misdirection to make V vulnerable to Dabbler’s magic without him notice it, that’d actually be pretty cool and clever.
a convincing argument could be made that she deliberately “failed” the initial attempt to draw attention to the presence of the lighthook so the jumprope gambit would be spotted immediately
The next page might actually highlight one of the major flaws of Dabbler’s succubus based powers.
It being that most of them, if not all, can be overcome via sheer willpower. Or other outside sources of stimuli.(Such as anger and pain.)
If the team was supposed to attack when she yelled ‘Now!’ then she also forgot to lower the shield.
Not attack- that would be silly and she can plan “better” than that.
not the team max. syd thought that the bouncing would distract enough for V’s attack to stop being debilitating or incapacitating
“We are not conflicted about this in the slightest ::stares:: ” No we’re not, we also return and agree :: sits and stares::
A few people referred to the “I am conflicted” line but am I alone for thinking it was brilliant? Max is literally (hah) conflicted, since she is in a conflict. I made that less funny now, I know.
Eh, it’s more irony. I think it’s neutral to the funny levels of the line.
Facepalm levels went up those, as did irony levels.
Also, it IS a funny line.
She is conflicted because, on the one hand, she is very opposed to the objectification of women by men, but on the other hand, she can admit that the objectification of Dabbler by Vehemence is giving her an advantage she will soon be able to exploit. Also, she really dislikes Dabbler’s hypersexuality, but at the same time is probably thinking that the bouncy boobies look really nice right now.
Also, Dabbler is probably having so much fun because she is expending almost none of her energy, and almost certainly getting quite a lot of tantric energy from just about everyone. Math being the biggest donator, of course.
Besides, frankly, isn’t it Dabbler exploiting Vehemence rather than the other way around?
I don’t think Dabbler considers this exploitation. She is just a succubus being herself. V’s reaction may be generating mega levels of tantric energy, but like his vehemic energy is blocked, I don’t think Dabbler is even getting a taste of it. I’m sure Math is doing his best to compensate her for the loss.
Oh god, this is still being publicly broadcast…
Ariana is going to have a *lot* of explaining to do.
“Our team will use any means necessary to subdue a threat, both violent and non-violent on a case by case basis. In this case, it required an unorthodox non-violent solution to the problem caused by a villain who uses violence as a power source.”
Live broadcasts have a delay at the studio for just such emergencies. Assuming the person managed to pull the plug before going under.
“Oh god, this is still being publicly broadcast…”
If there’s men operating the cameras, you can bet that it’s being broadcast at extreme “zoom levels” by now…
I love Dabbler’s expressions in this. :D
And yeah, that top has got to be staying up through magic (although why Dabbler would care is another question).
Max being conflicted is amusing too, but Dabbler’s a succubus, what do you expect?
She said that to keep V’s attention.
the “I am conflicted” pannel might be my favorite ever
Death Toll’s nemesis power would make him go blind in order to counteract this. :)
Or turn him flaming Takei.
Frankly, I don’t think that would help. Poetry in motion is poetry, no matter the ultimate preference of the viewer.
Quite true, I myself much prefer females, but I can admit to going “Damn, that guy has a nice a$$”
You & the ancient Greeks, dude…
Despite much of the negative PR about homosexual relationships during those days, those ancient Greeks were appreciative of human beauty, not merely female or male beauty. Both men & women worked pretty hard to make themselves attractive & they were just less discerning of the specific gender of someone’s attractiveness.
I’m pretty sure being gay wouldnt save him from boobs as nice as Dabbler’s. Just not being able to see them would be.
Assuming he doesnt try his sense of touch instead.
Anvil jumping on a trampoline plus a line of Harem duplicates Twerking would just about reduce V to jelly right now. Of course, Math’s head would explode, but every victory has its price.
Max’s head might explode too. For different reasons.
So, Hypnotic boobs have V’s (and everyone else’s for that matter) attention. There is little violence going on, except for V’s lightning which I’m going to assume just for the sake of it burns more juice than it generates for hic vehemic pool. Keep this up for a while and suddenly V might find he no longer has power to burn when he finally manages to tear his attention away from The Twins. It might take longer than Sydney’s idea of giving Maxima moment to act, but it might just work.
Fantastic and funny! Try reading the comic while listening to scat-man.
I’ve got this image running through my mind of dabbler going jump-rope to the scat-man tunes.
It’s stuck in my head!
I’m curious about Dabber’s form in these panels.
Back in #105 Zephan said “ Why did you drop your spell Dabbler?
You know she (Sydney) doesn’t have clearance to know about you.”
This was when Sydney found out Dabbler was all “purple and arm-y.”
The press media is there at the fight scene too right?
What are they seeing? Dabbler in her real form or is there a spell on the press?
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1004
I think she dropped her glamour spell in the fight with Heavenly Sword, so I’m pretty sure she looks like a 4-armed purple alien to everyone right now..
She calls it a “Battle form” so they could think she’s a shapeshifter with exotic tastes, or a Sentient Nanite swarm.
Looks like they’re aiming to misdirect. The public know that Xuriel can take on appearances and forms besides her baseline one, and not being in the loop on the existence of ETs they don’t know they’ve got the stick the wrong way round.
As soon as I realized what was happening, I laughed out loud!
Can we convince you to introduce moving images in your web comic?
What would it take?
Win the lottery and give Dave all the money.
There may be some risk to animating those panels. Staring at the screen could cause retinal burn-in of the image. Going through life with Dabbler jumping rope in front of you might have some disadvantages.
I never thought I’d say something like this, but it’s not enough of a disadvantage to require use of Brain Bleach ™…After all, some things you may NOT want to forget.
“Hides MD’S supply of “Brain Bleach” , for now.”
Don’t fall for it, V! It’s just a booby trap!
That ones already crossed off the ‘get Max to say’ bingo card, Lol!
when exxxpecting traps from dabs send a boob in first …….. hey who stole the drum set for the rim shot
“Snicker” from behind the closest debris pile.
That might have been <slightly better if you’d spelled it “exxxxpecting” (with 4 x’s), because that’s what’s on Dabbler’s comm-collar.
So this panel was the purpose for the inteoductory pages at the beginning of this webcomic! Nice set up, DaveB!
Took a looong time to set it up to this point though…But it was worth the wait.
Hey Dave, on panel 15, the power line that was visible on panel 12 is missing. Just letting you know.
Dangit. So many details. I’ll try and fix it when I get a chance.
Also, FYI: Dabbler’s choker in panel 2 is missing the XXXX.
I kind of wish I had a corset like the one Dabbler has…
Even if you do get a corset like hers, pics or it didn’t happen.
;)
If I had her corset… I would cosplay as Dabbler, well the human appearance anyways. I mean I already have the pants, that and my body doesn’t react well to body paint. Though I would still have to dye my hair…
I wonder if his tattoo is growing.
Actually, I wonder if I am the first to notice / comment on the lack of glowing tattoo on his hand in panel 15. At first I thought it might be that his power was fading as a result of burning through power reserves without additional power input from the surroundings (as has been suggested). But no, the tattoo reappears (at least partially) in panel 17 when we next see V’s hand. That isn’t to say it isn’t fading (or at least slightly less “glowy”), but it does appear to be missing.
Either that, or the orange line in panel 12 is incorrect …
I just popped on to say, your comic is one of the few that has managed to make me actually laugh out loud. And the ONLY one to do so regularly. Thank you for your work.
Thanks! And/or you’re welcome, as the case may be.
Just throwing this out there, maybe someone already suggested it…. But has anyone notices that the next shot of maxima we see after she thinks “I’m conflicted” her head seems to be tilted farther back as if she is also watching Dabbler? Just a thought
Agh sorry I meant to put this as a comment not a reply x.x
Panels 9 and 15 need to be put in the banner rotation.
I am giggling entirely too much at this strip, particularly Dabbler’s realization at what her role in the plan is right now.
Boobies: The most dangerous warheads of them all.
And the nicest.
True that… ^_^
First on the agenda is motorboating…To be followed with the submarine races.
O.O
