Grrl Power #290 – After action action
This page should help wrap up some unanswered (and possibly unasked) questions. Harem’s the obvious choice for this since she can interview 5 people at once. Well, 4 at the moment. “Vanilla” Harem got her wrist broken and is currently un-teleported.
After I drew the panel of Sydney smacking that fire guy into the ground, I thought it was a bit much, I mean people can break bones just from tripping. Even if I’m conservative and say what Sydney did to him was the equivalent of a 1 story fall, he’d still be really hurt.
Seneca’s never been formally introduced in the comic, but she’s shown up a few times, most notably demonstrating her sweet tooth. A page I was going to include involved her walking up to the defeated Vehemence, asking Dabbler if he absorbed violence when he was unconscious. Dabbler responds “Eh, like 10%” so Seneca kicks him and yells “That was attacking before dessert was served!” Sydney immediately admonishes her and tells her not to assault unconscious perps, and gives a thumbs up to Anvil, calling back to this page. Obviously I wound up cutting that stuff, but pretend it happened anyway.
While looking up Q words to finish out the Arc-SPARQ acronym, I came across “quaff” I always thought it meant to drink a quarter of something. I recall reading it a lot in fantasy novels. People quaff potions all the time in them, but nope! It means to slam back your drink. It’s weird when you learn a word that you thought you knew your whole life means basically the opposite of what you thought it meant. :/ Of course after trying to do actual work, I wound up just going for a funny word instead of trying to come up with a serious acronym.

It’s probably been happening for the past few pages… Yeah.. I just noticed the art change, and now stuff like
MAXIMA IS TALKING IN ALL BOLDED CAPS AND IT IS KIND OF DISTRACTING
Either that or she’s yelling all the time now.
Like a yeller-bellied possum. They yell so much, that’s why they’re yeller.
I’s do likes me possum belly stew. Yeehum yeehuum. No wait.. I hate stew with strange animal parts.
Just like Maxima bled from Vehemence’s punch, even her eardrums have a limit to the protection her personal force field can offer. She has sustained some auditory damage and is speaking too loudly to compensate for that.
Also, Vehemence was using all his strength to try and strangle her. I wouldn’t be surprised if her throat is damaged (not as bad as V, but still)
I thought DaveB indicated it was because she had a scratchy voice, because V was choking her, and she was starting to lose…
I just love that Harem is calling it Sydney’s victory.
Just noticed–Max has her heir tied back with a piece of rebar, doesn’t she?
