Ah, the ‘ol “Lookout Satan” ploy. It never fails! Although in their defense, anyone who had witnessed her tirade might be jumpy when she starts pointing and yelling.
I was hoping that a 3 panel page would be much faster to draw, but as I’m still not great at backgrounds, it still took me quite a while to do. Of course I learned a few things and it’ll go faster the next time.
Alright, that’s enough of the stupid side gags. Let’s get on with the story!

Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Discussion (70) ¬
First !(HA I always wanted to say that). But Comic Funny as usual But really this has to be the longest trip to the bank in history.
Little did we know….
Maybe running into a bank making siren noises and wielding a long, skinny package isn’t the best idea? Also, “Auto Tune.” Snicker.
I think she’s still doing the Curly myself.
Isn’t it what Dr. Zoidberg does?
Yeah but Zoidburg got it from Curly.
As ever, this site has yet again increased my knowledge of pop-culture.
Saw a guy a few weeks ago walking around with bulky cloths and carrying one of those clicky buttons used in grills to light the fire… just walking around with his thumb on the button with an evil grin on his face…
He was just freaking out, the mundanes!
The sailor has mystical color changing shoes
He must have been more embarrassed by Sydney’s cursing than he let on.
Looks more like a lighting effect to me…
Well, considering they were white last page, but black now…
It’s actually a rarely seen phenomenon known as a “b-s Eclipse”. Very rare and elusive! *documents for posterity*
I can’t be the only one that heard Zoidberg’s WOOB, WOOB, WOOB, WOOB, WOOB noise in that second last panel.
Yeah, as has been previously discussed, she’s making the “Curly Shuffle” noise. It’s one of her go to’s.
“Whenever we get the chance
We get up and dance
And do the Curly Shuffle!”
What’s funny is that the noise Dr. Zoidberg makes is based on the Curly Shuffle.
What the hell is this “Curly Shuffle” anyway?
A song that honors this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9rwF2khUIY
I wonder what the name of that gas station is…
Yeah it’s supposed to be an Aladdin style oil lamp on it, which probably makes more sense for a Jiffy Lube type place than it does for a gas station, but that background took sooo long and I didn’t care at that point. On the plus side I watched an amusing lecture by Neil deGrasse Tyson while I did it and he’s always entertaining. Also I think I’ve settled on Illustrator CS5 as a good tool to doing perspective correct backgrounds so hopefully that will speed things up in the future as well.
It makes as much sense for a gas station symbol as a shell does.
Well, a shell actually does make sense because oil used to be things like plants and animals, including sea shells. And of course gas comes from oil. So it’s all good :)
It makes even more sense than you think:
One of the companies that formed Royal Dutch Shell was the “Shell” Transport and Trading Company[1]. That company got its name from the fact the the father of the founders ran a company that imported and sold, you guessed it, sea shells.
[1] Yes, the quotation marks are part of the name.
And there’s absolutely no reason that the gas station in the comic doesn’t have as meaningful a reason for having a lamp as a symbol. We simply have no context.
Lamps are filled with oil. Gas comes from Oil. I could also go on about the whole Arabian Nights, and middle eastern oil.
It works, trust me.
At least she took her tube of whatever with her this time.
Greetings from 2018. :-) Odd that I didn’t notice this before, as the Aladdin oil lamp makes me wonder if Grrl Power takes place in the same universe as the Norwegian Flåklypa, best known from the movie Flåklypa Grand Prix, or Pinchcliffe Grand Prix as it is known in English. There is an Arab sheikh called Ben Redic Fy Fazan (or Abdul Ben Bonanza, which loses the cuss word from the original), with his own oil company called Aladdin Oil, whose logo is indeed an oil lamp.
Do the nuns also look when someone says
“Isn’t that the Emperor from Star Wars?”?
Did Nun #1 change her habit or did Sydney’s
swear-a-thon cause it to fade to grey?
This can’t be Syd’s first visit to the bank post vacation.
They won’t mind her tube.
Maybe they have a problem with her asking for SHINEY pennies…..
Oops… Was #1 grey when that comic was first posted??
If so… direguard my b) comment above.
Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing at first. The problem is that in her first appearance it is a much less noticeable gray and looks more like it is a lighting thing as opposed to actually supposed to be grey.
Emperor Popatine!
I think it’s completely reasonable to fall for “Lookout Satan” at this point. From a nun’s perspective, who else could have instilled such filth into the words of a sweet girl like Sydney (*chuckle*)
I’m amused by the fact that the nuns are keeping score.
If I’m going to be using the background more than once I make a file of just the background & then, when I have to use it again it’s right there. I don’t know if you plan to use this scene outside of the bank again, but you might.
I wish that I could draw cars that well.
When I build a background it goes in to a file so I can copy paste it if I need to use it again. The problem is that it’s not a 3 panel newspaper comic so angles and locations are changing all the time.
I once distracted a nun by shouting “Mister Wojtyla, will you please autograph my book!”
HA HA nicely done Syd the sailor doesnt know what just happened either also well done Dave i am very entertained
I have seen “Oh look, God” work (it wasn’t on nuns though).
I hereby posit that whatever it is in the tube, has a subtle reality changing field, that exists solely to perplex those that notice it.
Sydney will likely remain oblivious for much of the duration of her ownership
at least the nuns have a sense of humor!
I have been wondering what web host do you use for this site?
It’s hosted through GoDaddy, which I have some mixed feelings about. Once I switched over to their distributed hosting, the site’s been pretty fast but it still seems a little slow now and again, like today it’s not being terribly snappy for me. For the most part they seem to get the job done though, I don’t know that I’d recommend them over anyone else though, I just don’t have anything else hosted elsewhere to compare them too.
Ah I had huge issues with godaddy my self. I have good luck with powermonster.net and downtownhost.com.
from saying on the last comic that you had trouble making the older-stern-nun look older and stern – you’ve managed it pretty damn well in this one! She really does look a good deal older!
Continue improving at this rate, and.. I can’t even imagine what you’ll be like in a year!
Thanks! Both of these comics are ones I drew a while ago and I’m only now getting to them. Some of the art is new, like the backgrounds, but the foreground stuff is a mix of old and new. I definitely reworked the older nun’s face on this page a little. I think… this is the last page I’ve done that with. I have other older pages of thumbnails, even some old stuff that’s partially inked, but I’m finding the need to rework a lot of it or even change layouts so the last panel on the page is a better joke or a better place to end the page knowing people can’t just turn the page to get to the next one, so the remaining older ones will probably be scrapped or turned in to roughs for fresh pages. I actually have 2 completely finished pages, one of which… unfortunately may never be published because the joke may not make sense chronologically once I get to that point in the story, and the other one will probably be posted so long from now that it would only make sense to totally redraw it since I’m sure my art will have improved quite a bit by then. Oh well, that’s what I get for trying to work so far ahead. :)
If the chronologically-challenged page doesn’t fit by the time we get to where it would go, I’m sure it’d be appreciated for historical interest.
Phooey I was all ready for a Thursday update. I’m dying to know what sort of powers Sydney has, you know other than eating crazy spicy food, swearing like a sailor on swearoids and of course horrible lying.
Yeah it’d be nice, but I’ve gotten a little behind in my buffer now since I’m trying to have more penciled stuff ready for my girlfriend to ink while I’m penciling or coloring or whatever. So instead of having 4 finished comics, now I have 3 finished comics, one mostly inked, and 2 pages of layouts done. It’s a good long term strategy but it makes me nervous having less than 4 in the pipe.
Every time I look at this page, it cracks me up. Now that’s the test, making something funny after multiple viewings. Great job.
Also, if I ever meet a nun, I’m so going to use “Hey isn’t that the Pope?” on them.
Distract-A-Nun
from the makers of Confuse-A-Cat!
Lol “auto tune” :D
I was wondering if anyone noticed that.
“Ah, the ol’ ‘Look out, Satan!’ trick. That’s the second time this month!”
And from earlier, when she was explaining her tube’s contents:
“…Would you believe posters?”
she rlly used tht ploy on nuns….. -.- she is an embarrassment 2 geeks evrywhere. lol ;) :P
I have to say, most of the nuns I’ve met are harder to fool than that. Still, loving your comic. Please keep drawing.
nyajajaja very funny!
Hope they don’t make it a *habit* of falling for those tricks…
I take your reality and substitute it with wasabi. Maybe that’s why I can’t really taste hot food
PS does anyone else think its overrated??
It should be noted that those lines ONLY work on members of the Little Sister of Credulity.
Sad part is I know someone just like her.
but these are NUNS they’re like the irl paladins aren’t they? shouldn’t they have formed up ranks to protect the civilians and drawn their battle rulers to smite some evil?
Most of the diabolical nasties that ‘uniformed’ nuns encounter aren’t lucky enough to be boosted by The Cursing of Scoville as soon as they arrive on our plane. For the really tough customers like that, you want a veteran of inner-city outreach missions.

Jeez. Is this what I look like to other people? Weird.
This one made me giggle
Gets ’em every time.
She runs around crying out things like “Woo Bwoo Bwoo” all the time son far.
I get the odd feeling this writer grew up on Badger comic books.
