Grrl Power #313 – This measures an eight on the Sydney scale
No, Sydney… just no. You don’t go barging in whatever room you like in a military facility. She’s done some bone headed things in the past. This may top the list. Well, it’s in the top ten anyway, this is Sydney we’re talking about here.
There was a tiny part of me that wanted to make the last panel Sydney just looking over her shoulder and going “Oh, hey.” but Sydney’s not quite that sedate.
Maxima’s not the most regimented commander in the armed forces, still, I assume Sydney’s in for about a million hours of night watch or whatever would happen in this situation. It may be unprecedented.
Normally to get a slot in the Who’s Who, someone has to have a speaking part on the page as well as be introduced in the comic by name. I thought it was ok to make an exception in this case. General Faulk’s aide speaks but hasn’t been named, which is ok because I haven’t thought of a name for him yet. He’s the same guy from way back on this page, though now that I look like it I realize his hair is the wrong color… and the wrong style… and his shirt is different. Ok, maybe it should be a different guy. I really should not rely on my own memory for reference.
Colors on this page provided again by Keith. This time with far less touch up on my part.
Edit: Many people have already pointed out that this would probably never happen due to layers of security in a facility like this. Yes, you’re probably right, but in my defense, this isn’t a classified meeting taking place. It’s a North American-Super-Mutual-Defense-and-Public-Relations type meeting, as evidenced by Arianna being in attendance, as well as (and I don’t expect anyone to recognize them) the press secretaries of the US and Canada. (and probably Mexico, but I ran out of room) So slightly lower security on the room. Besides Sydney’s already made it through all the other security, and there was just the one door in her way. Maybe the aide came out to greet her.
As far as using recognizable people like this, yes it can create a problem with “comic time” later on, but that’s just the nature of comics. Besides, this is supposed to be our Earth now, just with supers going public. Also this gag wouldn’t have worked well if I had just drawn some statesmanly looking guy with an arrow saying “President” pointing at him.

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.
Is there a minimum number of words/lines a person needs to be speak to get an entry on the who’s who?
Since Obama got an entry and GI Jose didn’t?
Or is it a case of “he’s the Prez”
I think his look speaks volumes.
It’s the $^@+#! Prez.
Gotta represent, even for a no words cameo.
I count 15 words when he was a blur in panel 6. Why do you thinkshe cut off and started processing the voice she just heard.
the question was “Is there a minimum number of words/lines a person needs to be speak to get an entry on the who’s who? Since Obama got an entry and GI Jose didn’t?”
Oh I figured that was he wasn’t really named/introduced. Obama wasn’t named either but we all know who Obama is. Like him or hate him he needs no introduction.
It was addressed in DaveB’s notes about the comic.
In my defense can I say I was up most of the night trying to sort out my f*#$ing computer for the umpteenth time (I think it might be the registry, since i get the BSD every time I scan it for errors). and I didn’t read the notes
If you haven’t done so already, you could try to exclude memory errors by checking your RAM with memtest86 or memtest86+. You can also use Windows’ memory diagnostic tool: https://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer
I don’t like this kind of current time cameo.
Now, some years down the road, it will identify this as a period piece :(
So will half of the pop-culture jokes, and comic book references in previous pages.
It IS a flashback, remember?
The comic is set in a specific year, instead of the usual ‘now’ that most comics do
So that’s not an issue
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/60
So will the technology, eventually.
That’s normal, though. It’s very hard to write something set in no particular period, unless it’s set in such a fantasy version of the world that it can’t quite correspond to any historical period.
And Dave has made pop culture references that date this already.
Had a 2nd realization, don’t MTAC rooms like that have things like retina scanners to prevent entry?
Yep, but most dont have a small army of super soldiers located inside them at any given point in time. Also, its entirely possible that since the building is still under construction somewhat, that they havent installed everything yet.
Both very good points! Reading those, I also realize that, unlike most gov’t buildings, anyone who can reach those doors (normally) probably already has clearance.
Noting also that a lot of ARCHONs would not be slowed down much, unless the door was very very tough. Plus there are at least a couple that don’t even necessarily USE doors.
It’ll be installed Tuesday
I see what you did there…
Um … what would be the one level above an ‘OOPS!’??? But not quite to ‘expletive deleted’.
Oh, Wait … the Prez is back there … Make that two. Making it possibly into the ‘expletive deleted’ range.
LOL that’s hilarious. But, having worked in many different secure facilities, that would…could never happen for several different reasons. Just about ALL rooms in such a place have their own entry codes/security locks. Think compartmentalizations. Not nitpicking here, just constructive input.
–
What could have happened was Sydney going into a slow boil while waiting outside. Then when she was processed into the facility, she went off.
Hm. In theory she could already have been processed before this. But since we have not seen it, your point is valid. She might have been shown as going through the process, her temper getting hotter and hotter, and finally getting through and being told to wait outside the TV room, and then barging through.
While security may be high, I don’t think a TV screen rates quite the same security as the President does.
Err, wait, I didn’t read your comment properly first, my apologies! ALL rooms have this kind of compartmentalisation? Not that I disbelieve you! It just sounds really hugely complicated to me.
It varies, but when my father was working in a secure facility, to get to his office needed:
Badge reader at the fence outside the building.
Badge reader at the door of the building.
Badge reader at the guard post after the lobby.
Badge reader after getting off the elevator, for access to the hallway his office was in.
Key to the door.
That step before “key” was a bit of a pain for the folks working with someone on a different floor, as your badge only got you into your floor, and there was often back and forth.
You guys are overlooking something.
She has a glowy ball around her. And we never see her open the door. It’s entirely possible she makes the perfect (but can’t physically interact with anything) clone she used when introducing her myraid of powers originally.
Which makes her the greatest spy ever. What with the fact she can walk through objects, and there isn’t anything we know of yet that can stop her (as long as she doesn’t have to touch anything, or take photos, or things that have to keep her attention for longer than 5 mins.)
The door looks to be open to me (right half of a double door, left closed)… And that looks like the Forcefield effect.
if i remember correctly she HAS to see the clone to make it
while not every military building is going to be that compartmentalized, the more secure the facility the more such compartmentalized it will be.
Let’s see.. not a place where classified information would be stored, but where it might at least be discussed at length while classified documents were presented on tables and/or screens. At a minimum the room would be locked and sound proof, no windows, Oh, and the computers running those monitors? they aren’t connected to the internet.
They are going to be on a dedicated circuit and run through a device in that room that encrypts everything, and requires a special electronic key to be inserted which would be locked into an appropriate safe until such time as its needed. So every bit of data is encrypted on the way out (though to talk with other world leaders, it may need to some how be securely handed off to the internet, unless embassies have special facilities for transferring between secure networks. I have no idea how that would work)
Depending on the contract I’m working I can have three or four badge readers before I hit my office just a matter of having the correct permissions on your account which are setup when you are hired. Takes them about ten minutes of work to build it out though a couple times I had to have others buzz me through before I get my badge.
Software testing they like to be secure that it isn’t walking out easily.
Rule Of Funny. Enough said.
I agree with most of the statements made before this reply, especially since I was thinking most of them while reading the comic. The security in that facility would be very high, repetitive, nearly all encompassing, and extremely thorough. Using the yellow orb seems the most likely way she would be able to get any kind of presence in that room, unless they let her in.
—–
So, the only thing I want to add regards the General’s aide. From my experience, the aide of any officer or official would not be watching / guarding a door. That is not even close to being in their job. They have way too many other things of much greater importance to do with their time. They would likely be either in the room with their boss to help them (not called an ‘aide’ for nothing), just outside the door waiting to be called on for anything their boss might need, or at their desk outside their boss’s office dealing with the mountain of paper work they usually have.
So, simply say it isn’t the aide guarding the door, but…… (wait for it)
an actual GUARD!!!
Because, yes, even facilities like that would have lots of guards, in all kinds of places, for all kinds of reasons, & they would definitely have a guard (possibly 2) posted outside the door of a conference room while talking with the leader (much less multiple leaders) of any country. That’s not the kind of conversation they want to risk being interrupted or disturbed.
Ok, so no matter what happens in 2016, Obama’s only got about 16 more months in office. Are you going to update the art when we get a new president to keep it current are will you let this comic become outdated?
How can it be outdated? Seriously? This fic takes place in a point in time. Future fics make this happen in the past. Heck past fics take place in our past. It’s merely a moment.
Although been better to use a fictional Pres. (removes any exact points in time correlating with earth.). But he can say it’s technically in the future, if another president pops up, But then again, he’d probably need to change the other world leaders as well. And all in all, doesn’t negate that this fic can’t be outdated. By simple virtue of this page being in their past when compaire to future pages.
Specifically it’s supposed to take place in 2011
I think someone in the previous page of comments already found a plothole where Jole is reading a comic that wasn’t published until 2012. With the way this comic drops pop-culture references, it certainly feels like it’s trying to give the impression of all this being “live”.
That is a bit of a anachronism. If this is supposed to be 2011. And a 2012 comic is there. Then that’s a bit odd. But doesn’t really detract that in parellel worlds Obama could be president over there as well. And was President in 2011, then technically, it’s themetaclly approriate.
Similar as if he were to make up entirely new world leaders. Then a future reader would still find it out of date.
2012 in our world. In super-hero populated worlds, comics come out a year earlier.
If you’re identifying someone by their job (“The Prez”) then what happens when they lose that job? I’m just saying it’s like all those movies they made in the 90’s that start out with that narration like “in the early 2000’s….(something awful happened)”. At the time it gave them a very punchy sense of dramatic tension. Now they just look quaint, like a movie from the 50’s where cavemen fight dinosaurs or something.
And while I’m sure we’ll all remember Obama for a while, if someone is reading this for the first time and someone else is the president then, it won’t have quite the same impact.
Not really. If a person from the future, Reading this fic. Knowing it’s supposed to take place in 2011 (could be made to be more clear when this takes place.). Then it’s their problem for not knowing their presidents.
Sure might not be as impacting. But you run into the same problem as making up world leaders, instead of using real world ones. It really falls into the catagory of artistic choice.
Agreed. Presidential faces stick in the memory because you see them so often on TV during election years :)
Even teens are going to remember the last two presidents. Meaning we need to wait several years to find average kids who won’t recognize Obama. If the comic stays popular that long, then more power to the author.
I was taught former Presidents are still called president after they leave the office.
Really? That’s stupid. They should borrow that from the monarchy system. Formor kings are called Princes (queens turn into princesses)
Might be stupid, honestly I heard they are called ‘former presidents’. But nonetheless, if a person from the future who knows what a president is, should know about Obama. Even if in context of knowing passing history, After all, as much as I dislike his actions in office. He did some historic things to make him somewhat memorable.
And it still doesn’t change that as this happened in the past. If this updates to keep modern (even though it happens in 2011), then it’d make less sense. Since a 2031 President wasn’t the president of 2011.
Also didn’t know that about past Queens and Kings. I thought they would still be Kings and Queens, but you know. Dead. Dead and burried, with the next in line taking the throne when they kick the bucket.
Not all Monarchs die while still ruling. I mean when they step down.
Like in the Netherlands, last year the Queen stepped down. She’s now called Princess
I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info ^_^.
As a matter of courtesy, when one addresses another person by rank or title, one uses the most prestigious rank or title that person honorably attained in their lifetime, even if they no longer hold it. Someone who was promoted to the rank of Captain in the U.S. military could politely still be called ‘captain’ even after they have resigned their commission and returned to civilian life. Someone who sat as a judge might still be called Judge even after their term concludes. Addressing former presidents as president falls under that courtesy. It recognizes that they held the office, even if they are no longer holding it. In the monarchy example, when a King or Queen abdicates, they are giving up the title (and yes, therefor defaulting to the next highest title on their list of accolades)… but it would not be impolite to refer to them casually as ‘king’ or ‘queen’ unless the sitting King or Queen is in the room.
Not sure if it’s the same on other countries, but on Finland, ex-presidents are still called presidents. The current one is called the president of the republic (Not sure if that’s the correct translation. If anyone knows the correct term in english, feel free to correct me.)
And this matters why exactly?
I get the feeling that personality-wise Sydney and VP Biden would get along really well.
At least we know that since we are still in flashback time that Sydney gets to remain on the team.
Okay, I’m dating myself here, but “Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!” Poor, geeky, ADHD Sydney. “I don’t care if this is a teleconference with world leaders, it’s comic book day, dammit!”
General Faulk to Aide: “Do you think five years of KP iwould be excessive?”
I doubt he’s foolish enough to let her near food. He has to have read her file by now, and is thus aware of what she considers appropriately spiced (and the fact that it’s outlawed under the Geneva Convention).
I think Obama would agree that new comic day is important ;)
He’s a known comic collector, so yes.
Why is the US screen bigger than the rest?
They probably put whoever’s talking at the moment on the central monitor. Afterall, the people on the other side of the screen can’t tell who’s largest at any given moment- they see people as big as THEIR screens are.
Well, they are IN the US
Ever done a video teleconference with Google hangouts? The speaker always gets the big screen
Although Obama may have “got it” and been amused, this is a major embarrassment for the US. In real time, in full view of heads of state, the much touted Archon has poor security and no control over their “supers”. Not good!
Not that big of a deal, since there are, most likely, no news reporters present at this meeting, obviously a security briefing and after-action review of sorts, and Sydney has already established a very quirky persona. Also, there appears to be only friendly nations present, so this incident will probably be officially overlooked. Plus, Sydney does have a point, regarding her contract. Maxima made an error in judgement by not passing along a little more information, or even a pro-active apology acknowledging that it was new comic day, but the meeting was very important. Maxima deserves the dressing down, if any.
Ah, but it is a big deal. Only the public gets their info from the press – these politician have much better sources – and it is not the public which is concerned. These countries may be our “allies” but they are headed by politicians whose first and primary loyalty is to be re-elected as well as jockeying for power. To hitch your political wagon to a potential public relations disaster – an out of control Archon – would give them cause for concern and reduce the POTUS’s bargaining chips.
How come noone’s talked about the Bubble? It’s more likely she was using her clone that can’t touch anything. And simply walked through the door (it didn’t open when she walked through). So it’s possible that it is marked down as “Supers aren’t phased by Non-Supe Security).
Archon is not necessarily “out-of-control”. If, after going through proper military training and indoctrination (approximately 6 months to one year), Halo still is acting like a complete civilian, THEN such judgments may be apropos. Very little, in the way of military decorum, is expected from raw recruits, especially ones that may be under a new and stressful situation, like having just joined the military AND a super-hero organization.
I’d say yay for the inclusion of Canada, but it’s Stephen Harper…
Oh well, guess you didn’t have much choice on that. Yay for the maple-leaf flag!
I swear, half of those guys look like they’re about the break out laughing. Obama definitely does.
Also, I wonder how Harem would take the SAT/ACT. I took the ACT, and you’re not allowed to touch any electronic devices or reading material except for your test booklets and possibly a calculator. Assuming the same is true for the SAT, it would present a pickle if a girl who can be in five places at once took the test, because she could easily be cheating. What’s the solution? Keep all five of her in the same room?
In all probability Harem wouldn’t have to take either, and if she did her score would be irrelevant. Sure she could cheat, but she can also do the same on every test and in real life situations. Being in more than one place at a time is as inherent to her as your own natural abilities (like your own intelligence or your ability to see) are a part of you, so she wouldn’t really be cheating, she would be “being Harem”.
But more importantly:She is a Super, her job qualifications are her mastery of her powers, not a university degree.
Sydney, your best bet right now is to pass out. Just… crash to the ground and refuse to wake up for say… an hour or two after the call ends. Why? Because its the best chance you have of getting a LITERAL ass reaming over just how badly you screwed up. Max is pretty easy going, so is the general. But this? THIS?! Yeah, unless the prez himself speaks up in favor of letting it slide, they kinda HAVE to punish you and put it in your record. I think Sydney is about to finally learn why military work is different from civilian.
“to AVOID getting a literal” that was supposed to say. I edited out my first thought and must have screwed up more of it.
Not a bad idea in general, but I think Sysney will need to stay “unconscious” for more than an hour – and it would probably help a lot if she fakes partial amnesia upon waking up.
“Honest, guys, I don’t recall a thing between getting home after the battle and going to sleep, and waking up just now. Maybe it was an after-effect from the fight? ……”
Yeah, that could work.
Im more saying that to help her avoid the instant reaction of ass chewing maxima and the general will have and hopefully let them calm down a bit. She is going to be in trouble either way, but if the incandescent rage gets a chance to fade, it might help.
*Sidney yawn*
“I had a bad dream. I think the President was in it.”
The prez already has spoken up in favor of letting it slide… By agreeing with Sydney.
I laughed upon reading this one.
Dave B. I would have gone for a tiny “is” instead of the three dots for that extra Loony Tunes flavor but well done.
I’d go for a low ‘creeeeeeaaaakkk’ sound effect as her head slowly turned to see what was behind her..
Canada is involved? Canada is almost always forgotten about in these scenarios!
Well, down-played anyway. And who can blame us after those two movies that showed Canada for the great nation of evil that it is:
“Canadian Bacon” and “South Park: The Movie”.
Can you really trust a nation that looks enviously on Minnesota and North Dakota as tropical paradises? They are obviously trying for the stealth invasion. First it was maple syrup. Then it was that weird bacon. Then it was hockey. Now is is that Bieber guy. They even got a spy into the creators of the X-men so they could have Nightcrawler use the name of that national park when he teleports. Wait. That one’s ‘Banff’? Well, sore-y aboot that last one eh?
Pffft! everyone knows we got our own tropical paradise, it’s called Victoria city, and even has palm Trees! *trollface*
You forgot Celine Dion, Skinny Puppy, and a good part of wolverine’s origin story.
And don’t forget that whole “X-Files” insanity in the ’90’s. Sucked me right in until I got deprogrammed by the lousy movie.
not to mention Wolverine himself..and Alpha Flight. and Jim Carrey, and the Canadarm. and Basketball, and about three dozen other things Americans claim credit for that are actually canadian.
Well, there was also the Strange Brew movie with the Mackenzie brothers.
…funny as hell though…
Isn’t this the sort of thing that should behind a locked door, security guard or no (especially an assumingly superpowerless guard)
The locked door, yes, or at least one that requires a keycard-swipe to gain entry. Still, maybe the military types aren’t used to dealing with civilians as much as the other way around as well (so they expect people to respect an order), and EVERYONE is still getting used to people with super-powers.
I dunno, Presidents call folks to congratulate them from time to time, without super security suddenly being installed around Olympic Athlete X or whoever. As long as their meeting isn’t about classified stuff I don’t see any reason they’d need God Mode security. There was a guard there, that would be sufficient to guarantee security 99% of the time.
Who said anything about God Mode security? All I am saying is that a closed door meeting involving world leaders should at least have a freaking locked door.
A cup of caffeine and Grrl Power is the best frick’n way to start any week. But today’s, oh yeah, today’s is going to be taken as a sign from the heavens that this will be an awesome week.
nononononono this is something that WOULD happen i only spent four years in the navy and did this twice by accident(well not with the president but did walk in on some admirals once) , that is the exact level of security that i would expect for something like this
Best comment!
Well… at least we know what the special deal was on her contract… at least it was important…
It’s a teleconference, it’s not like the prez is actually IN the building.
Which answers some of the security questions.
Prez’s superpower is being incredibly telegenic.
Ugh, Sydney, its been ONE DAY since you were warned about how the military is very very different from a standard 9-5 type job. Maybe you could get away with busting into a high level meeting at mcdonalds and not get into too bad of trouble, but the stakes are a little bit higher in the military.
Honestly, im slightly surprised that maxima didnt sonic boom sydneys arse back outside, take 5 seconds to ream her out and tell her to stay put, then slam the door behind her as she went back to the meeting a second into the interruption.
From the way the General is acting I doubt Sydney is going to get in too much trouble. When she first shows up in the room Gen. Faulk seems to be gesturing “Well, here she is.” And after that he seems more annoyed and giving the “Wrap up the yelling so we can get on with the meeting.” at Max than Syd. I think they intended to introduce Sydney to the assembled dignitaries, and that’s why they had her come in on new comic day.
Sydney still doesn’t think like military, and isn’t familiar yet with the “Hurry up and wait” mentality. Military is expecting her to jump to what they say, but forget that when dealing with shiny new recruits it’s more expedient to give a brief explanation on what you want if at all possible, than deal with the backlash of “Why am I doing something stupid?” The trust that everything they tell her to do has a reason just isn’t there yet.
Though with Sydney, she may never completely stop reacting first and thinking later.
Next time you hold a meeting you don’t want disturbed…lock the door.
In fairness, they did post a guard. That’s like a lock that can talk to you.
Major offtopic question (I hope it’s ok).
There recently was a talk about colorists etc, and I kinda really wanted to as – is there, like, a progression from colorist to the guy who draws the comic, or are those two professions completely unrelated?
Depends writer, artist, inker, and colorist are all jobs in comics and animation. It is possible for one person to do all four jobs. Larger and more complicated projects sometimes hire more to increase how quickly they can produce work. I have seen comics where one person wrote while another handled all drawing duties, comics the writer & the artist were the same person but someone else inked and colored. I have seen comics with a writer, artist/inker, & colorist. I have seen some where every job was done by someone different. In some cases I have seen series pass from one artist and/or writer’s hand to anothers but it is more typical with mainstream comic than webcomics.
2-3 people dividing duties seem most common with most of the long-form comics I read, at least the one’s that average 2 or more comics a week with similar levels of colour and form complexity.
Well, what I wanted to know, was if for example you wanted to be a comic book artist, would you be better off starting as a colorist, because it is an easier job, that still teaches you skills that you need to be a good artist, and then you can more easily graduate to full-blown artist, or are the skillsets unrelated and both jobs equally hard?
Depends on the person, one can improve one overall simply by working ones way up but some people may never pass this or that plateau. They may work coloring enough that they can handle inking as well but never pass that point. They may be the best colorist and inker you have ever seen but lack that something to become a artist. Some artists are never happy with their own inks and/or colorings. Some are excellent all around and age like fine wine.
And the US is currently looking a LOT like the Titanic. Hope we manage to stay afloat.
Hmm, that’s weird – I was replying another comment, but it dropped it down here, where it has NO context. Nice.
Sorry about that!
Okay this comic is pretty sweet. Nice job putting in other world leaders – it shows that you care about Canadian readers! Which isn’t to say that Harper is my favourite Prime Minister. But still, thank you.
It’s a North American conference more so than an inclusion for broad appeal thing, but you’re welcome anyway. :)
First off, I *love* how blase General Faulk is being to all this. :) Makes me wonder if he expected this to happen when Maxima called Sydney in despite the protest of “it’s new comic book day.” :j
Also makes me wonder why Max would be so insistent about Halo getting there “now!” then have her wait*, despite knowing about Sydney’s ADHD and (in theory) having been told when new comic book day is for her store**. Makes me wonder if Harem was actually talking with Max at all and is playing a joke on both of them (which will most likely chew her arse and spit it out). “I don’t know what she’s talking about, Maxima. I just went to see when she was going to be in.” >_>;;
*Yeah, I know, Army: Hurry up and wait, right?
**Please note that I don’t know whether new comic day is the same day of the week for every store, nationwide, or if it varies from store to store. n__n
He he. I think that “Halo” is going to get a new designation. “Foot in mouth”.
Interesting bit of timeline tweaking going on. But we only had the one frame, in one comic, that set that, so easy enough to keep it consistent.
Holy Executive Branch, Batman!
Holy references to a Bovine disease batman
I would suspect any COMBAT team member can access pretty much any room in the facility, at will, in minimal time using their ID (in this case Sydney’s bracelet). The world has superpowered bad guys in it, some of whom will be ‘porters or bricks than can walk through walls like it’s tissue paper.
Are you going to hamstring your primary defenders with bullsheite checkpoints if seconds count? Think about the SWAT teams at nuclear facilities. They have full access to the entire facility, but little reason to go into most of it and rarely will see most rooms except in training. Nevertheless, they have access because it’s part of the job description.
Sydney is on the A team and is a headstrong ditz. Sh just took massive advantage of her complete access to ARCSwat…and now she is in deep kimchee because of it.
Always knew the Prez supported small business, but still glad to see our commander in chief is a vocal supporter of the comic industry, BTW.
IM surprised that she didn’t faint dead on the spot from sheer embarrasment
The embarrasment isn’t over yet. She still may
Eh our president is in the summit…, wait a second, does he got insta translator? We know Peña nieto cant talk english for shit
They have ear buds with folks off scene translating you never see them they are just a voice in your ear.
My inter ninja is laughing her ass off right now.
Well, that’s Sydney’s problem right now. She always expects ninjas, but she never expected a bunch of national leaders.
I know someone who’s gonna be court-martialed.
Unless that there indifferent colonel has anything to say about it. He looks like this kind of thing happens like every other day.
Isn’t going to be a court-martial just a really nasty tongue lasing since she is a recruit you can’t get busted lower than than.
True, but if Sydney’s training is anything like boot camp, Maxima may decide to treat her like a boot. (Read: Extra physical training, or whatever other legal punishments she can think of.)
Push the earth until I’m tired privates I had a Drill Sargent actually say that to us. He was none to happy with us at the time.
Well he is working daily with Harem AND Dabbler.
And don’t forget Math
That is General Faulk, Maxi’s immediate boss
Oh my the President appears amused this will be good. Also at some point she needed to meet them after all he is the boss and I suspect he would want to know his supers more personally as people than tools.
Success! We found something that could make Sydney shut up on the spot! :D
+1
I was chuckling so hard at the comic I missed that Obama said the line about New Comics Day until someone in the comments pointed it out.
+999 For DaveB
“Miss Scoville, how are doing on your first day as a public superhero?”
The next page is going to be GLORIOUS!
She may not be the only one interrupting this meeting. After the president’s comment to Sydney, we will probably hear from behind him “It’s new comic day? I am gonna have to send some of my Secret Service guys to pick my new issues!” To which the president replies “Will someone please get Biden off the line?”
Except Obama’s the comic geek, not Biden.
