Grrl Power #342 – Predenuded
And now we know Dabbler’s true mission, to slowly pervert Earth’s mightiest heroes! Ok, that’s not what she’s doing here. I mean… she is doing it, but it’s not why she’s here. It is one of her many hobbies though. She has an easy crowd there, Harem’s open to new experiences and Sydney, well, she didn’t have to be sold on anything.
If I was a girl, I assume I would do very little in the way of body hair maintenance unless I thought it might come up, like going on a date or whatever. Sure, if it’s summer and shorts and tank tops and bathing suits are in order then I would put forth the requisite effort, but I highly suspect during the fall and winter I would be in Wookie Mode. (This is assuming no boyfriend or job at Hooters.) I asked my wife about this and she said all women do this and the ones who say they don’t are lying liars who lie.
I haven’t decided if guys supers can grow beards. I don’t think I’ve put any supers with facial hair in the comic yet so it’s still up in the air. I’m leaning toward no, but that sort of creates a problem if there’s ever a live action version of Grrl Power. There are just some guys who look like they have a 5 o’clock shadow as soon as they’re finished shaving which could create some casting issues, and there probably aren’t a lot of actors who would be willing to have their face waxed.

I’ve been quite bad about keeping up with messages and things on DeviantArt, so when I finally checked in, I found some fan art pieces waiting, so in no particular order, here they are for those interested:
- Sydney Fighting Sprite
- Sydney pencils
- Maxima done in some sort of dress up doll program (I’m sure she’d be thrilled)
- Sydney as a Pony. Her cutie mark is apropros.
- Sydney via Poser (or similar 3D program Probably Daz3D now that I think about it.) It’s super weird seeing Sydney as a non-anime human.

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.
yea i’m gonna be honest i’d take fur over body hair in a hot second cause body hair SUCKS
In a lover sure, for myself no. I don’t want to have to deal with fleas or itching.
…And imagine having a bad case of full-body dandruff…
Unless you were from my part of the world where it is abysmally hot three months of the year (humid as a jungle ten months of the year). But the other months of the year, particularly winter, I’d love fully body fur ^^
You from the Ohio Valley?
A lot further south, lol. 96-98F avg summer days type south, lol
*raises hand* North Alabama, couple hundred miles further south and you hit the Gulf. =P
Australia?
I have seen Cybertronians with fur, but they’re a specific type of Cybertronian. I am not 1 of them. Mind you, I might be able to scan a furry form with my Pretender Armour…
Actually, I’m surprised that any supers that don’t have invulnerability have any hair at all, including head hair and eyebrows, considering how popular fire is as an effect for super powers.
So, is there a live action version of Grrl Power upcoming then? I would love to see it, but I bet it would be prohibitively expensive to make. How about an animated version!
i would personally prefer an animated one, as live action movies based on comics or cartoons never turn out right. It’s like the movie industry is intentionally trying to destroy the idea that live action cartoons can be good. As an example avatar the last air bender, blood the last vampire, DBZ or most of the marvel / dc films. rarely do they truly follow the books and more often than not edit out pertinent information. when you see an animated film based on a comic or cartoon it usually fits into the events going on in the book or show at a minimum it explains why not.
sorry its a pet peeve of mine.
I’ll keep my body hair, thanks. Y’all who think body hair is gross on a woman, well, we weren’t going to get along anyway. It’s actually a pretty good asshole alert. No one is paying me to be scenic for you. Maybe other women don’t say it, but it’s seriously a part time job keeping up with body hair, makeup, skin and hair care, hairdos and hair cuts – and you need an extra part time job to pay for all that. I do about the same maintenance as the average dude and have more money, more spare time, and am much happier than I was before I quit sucking up the high maintenance beauty bullshit.
What’s funny is some guys actually put themselves through all that crap too…. I don’t, other than hair cuts but yeah just too funny.
And there are at least two cheap alternatives to regular haircuts: shave the scalp, or put it all in a ponytail and just regulate the length. (I’ve gone the latter route, and the chosen length is “longer”, so I haven’t even trimmed the end in a few years.)
We’re entitled to our preferences just like you are, I’m sure there’s physical traits you don’t find attractive in guys (or other women), so don’t make this a one-way thing like everyone else. It’s a tad hostile and can come off as a bit pretentious.
That said, considering how long every woman I’ve ever known spends with their makeup bag and combs and curlers in front of the mirror, I imagine it feels nice not to have to worry about!
I’m not dating anyone, but I do wax regularly. I like to be prepared in case I ever knuckle down and get that photoshoot done I’ve been planning for Cosplay Deviants.
Supers don’t grow body hair? That’s really weird!
“I only have a few personal anecdotes…” Um, I wonder what that means o_O
Remember what she said happens on a Friday?
So… she’s having sexual relationships with a few supers? Mind you, the number of supers in the country are more than you’d think (but less than you’d hope). So the few supers she’s having relations with are probably on the team. Oh my…
I mean when you gather together a group of the most photogenic men and women on the planet in one location and have them work alongside eachother in close conditions, things are gonna happen.
Well, considering how Barberian was feeling the morning after the night before, only a Super (or extremely well-fit ‘norm’) would survive DBS-S
Where are Harem’s freckles?
They’re actually there but when I shrank the page to web size they get too small to see. I guess I need to make them bigger, but then it makes the full sized art look like she’s covered in horrible moles.
You can see them in a few panels, but, just like in real life, freckles are not visible all the time on all people (unless they are literally covered in them, where it’s easier to count the spaces between the freckles than it is to count the freckles themselves)
Or they are in the middle of their summer “break out”
Yeah, I’m gonna have to recommend facial hair has to be allowed. One: ’cause the 70-80s, macho look. Two: otherwise it means that Villains are going to be really easy to identify due to their (evil) goatees, moustaches (to be twirled), and neckbeards (hur hur).
Still, the body hair thing is a bit weird, IMO. I get that in this comic we’re taking the idea of “Superheroes are supermodels/perfect physical” trope and enforcing it, but that seems kinda unnecessary. Especially since body hair grooming is more of an aesthetic and cultural thing rather than being able to say supers always have peak physiques, etc.
Or it could be a joke that the super-villains have to use makeup artists to get the appropriate appearance, which makes them easy to track down: “A dozen film makeup artists have disappeared in the Seattle area lately, we suspect McGoatee – a notorious supervillain – is operating in that area. Find him. Rescue the girls. Stop him.”
Maybe men can only grow facial hair if they think it is stylish? Maybe the supers don’t grow any extra body hair because they will it that way!
The real issue is that all supers seem to share some baseline common traits like this, suggesting that whatever gave them powers is essentially the same thing that gave every other super their powers.
Yeah, that is what I see here too. Which leads to all sorts of secondary questions, since that leans us towards one source for the majority of all supers, heroic and villainous.
Beardy stuff on presumed and imagined supers I found so far:

Middle panel – three beards, one sidebuns, but could just be halos imagination…

https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1736
Ren – chin area, but does he count as “super”?
I’d say, facial hair for supers may not be common, but looks possible… good news for all mustache-twirlers! ;-)
Just as well that ‘facial hair’ is not the same as ‘body hair’, isn’t it?
Is Sydney a furry? Or possibly into furrys? TELL ME! I MUST KNOW!
Sydney is… open to the idea of furry companionship. :P
Sydney is a female comic geek, a few of them had a crush on Nightcrawler. and Dabbler’s statement is more or less how Nightcrawlers texture is described.
In the comics or in the movie?
Comics. We do not talk about the ritualistically scarified… thing… that was in the movie.
Just checking :D
Personally didn’t have a problem with the movie depiction, seeing how it was an alternate universe anyway
So dabbler just confirmed furrys are real and as awesome as that is I have a bigger question, as seen in dabbler has not watched much hentai, yet she is clearly smart enough to find anything on the net. I am somewhat confused by this, does dabbler just not like porn?
Still new that this whole comment thingy. Note to self that is not how you link things.
She likely never thought to go looking for adult stuff on the internet, after all video isn’t anything she can get energy from (so far as we know) and she seems the sort who’d much rather be doing it for real (which she can always find partners for) than watching it on her computer.
. . . there’s other stuff on the internet besides porn?!
AND Grrl Power, of course.
In the comic you reference Dabbler doesn’t indicate she’s not watched hentai. It’s Arianna that’s never seen it. Dabbler just said that she thought she’d met the tentacle creature that the hentai animation was based on.
Of course furry’s are real! Oh, you mean anthropomorphic animals, not grown adults wearing animal costumes and not as a mascots
Does this make Sydney a Furry, yes I think so, she likes the idea of the anthromorph, so yep, yep it does.
Do Wookies, Selonians, Sasquatch, or Yetis count as ‘furry’? I was under the impression that a certain level of (earth based) animalistic features came along with that. Not that you’d ever find any interested Selonians, hive based biology.
Furries run the gamut from ordinary animals that talk about ordinary animal doing mostly-ordinary-animal things, to animals that you could replace with humans without changing the story aside from replacing an occasional species reference with a culture reference (there seems to be a strong pattern, across many but not all furry comics, that mice are culturally similar to Jews – whether or not there was a Hitler in that universe).
I’d say there’s room in there for the for species you named.
They don’t appear to speak in human speech – but in furry worlds that also contain humans, whether or not the animals can speak with humans varies. In Faux Pas it’s been implied that they can’t; in Gene Catlow and Freefall (if you consider the latter a furry world) they explicitly can.
Interesting. Just wondering, do you think the mouse:jewish association/trope stems from the comic book Maus, itself?
Would be very interesting to track back through the sources and inspirations and see how it has developed. Anyone looking for a literature/art history thesis subject?
actually….. Corran Horn in the Old Expanded universe dated a Selonian, Chertyl Ruluworr. their chemistry was great. (and according to Corran, other.. things were great).
the relationship fell apart due to incompatible Biochemistry. Corran found out he was slightly allergic to her fur and broke out rashes, and his sweat was slightly acidic, which bothered her in pretty much the same way. They ended the relationship, but remained good friends after it.
Okay, most supers are good-looking, w/ hair only in specific places (scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes), conforming to a specific standard of beauty?
Could it be someone, or something, in-universe, is designing, specifically designing supers?
Where did most of these supers get their powers? Some sort of meta-gene? Do the supers themselves even know?
Is there some deeper agency, w/ its own agenda, at work here? What is its ultimate goal?
And who will protect me from it now that I know it exists?
I think it was mentioned in an earlier strip that there’s a chance humans were possibly modified by an external force. Or being.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/880
It was this strip.
Oddly, it was the previous strip that made me think back to this. If we accept the possibility of extraterrestrial tampering to specifically make the Supers attractive, then Heatwave’s injury would make her “imperfect”. Are we going to see her toe regenerate so she can fit back into the “physically perfect” baseline?
Even if we don’t, it’d be interesting to see how far this goes in future strips with the whole physical perfection thing. Can they eat as many cheeseburgers as they like and never gain a pound? Are they immune to cavities or acne? If a Super was transgender, would they be unable to change genders or would their body conform to their gender after the surgery/hormone treatments?
Only if you are one of those narrow-minded arseholes who consider scars to be unattractive
When they became Super (usually during puberty) their bodies became ‘idealized’, does not mean that they remain that way (except for poor Les, who can’t even change his hairstyle… EVER!!!! Except with illusions and wigs)
Do we know that? As far as I know, we haven’t seen a single scar on any of the Supers and we’ve seen plenty of body shots. With the exception of people like Achilles and Maxima, most of the Supers that we’ve seen aren’t invulnerable. Yet Peggy is the only one of the cast with any visible scars. Jabberwokky indicates that they can get tattoos but that’s all that’s been shown of any body modification to the best of my recollection.
As far as I know, we haven’t had any confirmation that there isn’t anything that maintains their physical state. Now, if we see some of the villains from the big fight still missing teeth in a later appearance or Heatwave’s toe doesn’t regenerate, that would prove that the idealization is a one-off. As it stands, it could go either way.
Apart from Maxi and Peggy, this is the first time any of them have seen any real action (we don’t know what sort of mischief the Vigilante Three got up to before being given the choice of ‘join ARCHON, or join the prison population’)
And yes, we are both assuming things that, so far, only DaveB knows (or could know)
Math has an impressive collection of scars. As Maxima pointed out, he may or may not be an actual super, since his martial arts abilities are indistinguishable from “real” superpowers. I suppose that could be determined by whether or not there would be any point in Math getting a full Brazilian.
Sorry to contradict your wife, but I’ve hated body hair ever since my leg hair came in as a child. We are not going to talk about what happened with puberty! (No seriously. If you ask you will deserve what you get.) I don’t keep everything perfectly maintained, but even in the winter I’m shaving. I don’t have the money to wax, but when i have the money I do!
The exception is arm hair. Mine is nice and fine and acts like little antennas that extend my sense of touch out a little.
Ditto. I can’t stand for my legs to be prickly. Same goes for the Northern Territories and the underarms.
I knew I was going to find some women in the comments who shave regularly! I shave every to every other day all year long. It feels so awful to let it go any longer than that!
Theres also no no
The Maxima hyperlink isn’t working…
Are we talking squeaky clean? Cuz that would look weird. Not even forearm peach fuzz? But then you wouldn’t have an evil mustache to twirl… you could probably even make it a point of contention in the super’s world. If someone has powers and a beard, obviously he’s evil. So somewhere along the line you could come across a villain who is only a villain because he want’s a sweet goatee. Syd then shows off some wookie leg action and he see’s the light. Besides, character design will become awful lackluster without facial hair options. Would you truly rob us of the glory of beard? You know who would be great to ask this question? That Barberarian fella.
Fairly sure moustaches don’t count as body hair, or you would have to include everything on the head
Most people accept ‘body hair’ to be anything below the neck
while it is technically facial hair. But in context It’s clear what is meant is the hairs that change with puberty
We’ve all been only Sydney. ;p
Maxima link is broken
Is it bad to really, really want to see Halo in a fighting game, complete with sprite swear word bubbles when she gets K.O.?
my Girlfriend does not shave, period, and I have no problem with that. in fact, I really dislike the whole shaved bush, it makes you look prepubescent, which I do not appreciate.
You do know that there is an option other than Full Brazilian, don’t you?
I am aware, but honestly, then your not in straight removal mode, your actually trying to landscape, which is harder, and the hair that is removed in all alternate styles is the hardest and most painful hair to remove.
Again, it’s not an ‘all or nothing’ deal
When you get your hair cut, do you just style or trim it, or do you go the full-on shaved head look?
I put on a #7 guard on a set of clippers and shave away, and I only do that for temperature control.
and I do know there are as many styles of bushes as there are mustaches.
I’m saying that I don’t like the full shave. that is my opinion. yours may vary, I prefer the full bush, you may not. I don’t see the point of the in between, maybe there is one, I don’t care enough to look into it
Neatly trimmed or cut short makes eating out more pleasant. Long enough not to be stubbley, short enough that there are no stray hairs up your nose. Think buzzcut length.
I prefer shaved to not, because hair in your teeth is disgusting.
Then return the flavor and at least manscape for your girlfriend/significant other. They’ll appreciate it.
Well it depends on how hairy you are to begin with…
and see I just accepted that as part and parcel of making my GF really happy, and quite honestly is one of the least problematic things I deal with on a daily basis.
besides, it give me a chance to roll out a Twokinds reference ocasionally
Another question of course is why shaving “there” make you look prepubescent” but a man with a clean shaved shin does not? I know it’s a matter of personal tastes but it is also a matter of expectations from society etc.
As a tangent I am also confused to why a man asking his girlfriend to shave “her natural hair growth” (anywhere) is “sexist” while a girlfriend asking a man to shave (his face) is “good taste”. After all chin hair on men is just as naturally masculine as hairy armpits are naturally feminine for women…
…I haven’t really seen anyone here saying those things.
It can be seen as rude when it feels expected, like your body MUST conform to their expectations, or you’re gross, but that’s not restricted to one gender.
and I sport a mustache/beard most of the time, except when it gets really hot. My GF actually prefers me with facial hair, and I prefer her with body hair, if for no other reason than it provides contrast on what is otherwise a very low contrast palette
You have good taste, Other Josh.
I am very curious if the orbs will eventually gain a level that grants her the superhuman package and how she will turn out.
I am thinking she will go Pixie. Same height, but with slightly less football in her head shape, better hair and body definition.
Basically, like the others, her but idealized.
To me, she already is idealized
I am not saying she is ugly or anything, don’t get me wrong.
But the ‘no body hair’, ‘swift healing’, ‘naturally good hair’ and other enhancements are just neat. She can function without them, but her collection of bruises is already getting pretty impressive and it hasn’t even been half a week.
Never heard ‘swift healing’ was part of the general package of being a Super
it could just be cosmetic? I mean look at our Lady of Fire, her toe is going necrotic and yet the rest of her foot is pristine. It should be veined with black and bluised like crazy. Others got punched, kicked and generally beaten the crap out of but only Sydney shows any sign of it.
Why? It was just the tip of her toe that was affected, and maybe the reason the rest is back to ‘normal’ is because the Super Doc was able to do that much, but the toe was too far gone
Technically its only her second day
That is an interesting thought and might be cool for a later story arc involving illusions, dreamscape, if not introduced into the canon itself, and a character moment of “do I really want to live like this the rest of my life?” Hmmm…
I like Sydney as she is and I’m sure having her be different from the rest gives Dave lots more story options. On the other hand, I would not be averse to a vote incentive or something showing a fantasy super Sydney.
Agreed. Or even another super taking that form to taunt her. Perhaps a devils whisper, promising the power in return for a deal, only to be immediately shot down by the far too Trope Knowledgable Sydney. :)
*steeples fingers* Yes, we approve, yes…

Beware the back hair!
From The Oatmeal – https://theoatmeal.com/
A Question for the Esteemed Author:
OK, maybe I’m missing something, but Dabbler (in the penultimate panel) seems to be missing her Left-ear, when it was clearly visible in the panel just before that. Just how prehensile are they supposed to be? Can they tuck themselves under her hair, without the use of her hands?
Yes, yes they can
Learn something new every day. Wow, that has got to be handy >_>
It’s there, it’s just tilted up behind the word balloon. She can tilt and swivel them like a cat, but independently.
Cats can do it independently too :)
So they do have eye brow hair, head hair, ear and nose hair, but none of the two types of body hair, and third type pubic….at least that. The rest can go. I have low amount of body hair. Still would like to not need to shave my face twice a day…
That’s because eye, brow, ‘head’, ear and nose are not generally referred to as ‘body hair’
Heh. That particular fetish is one of the few my brain shortcircuits for. as in HELL NO.
I am fully aware that it is a personal preference though. :)
Heh, now I’m crawling back through the shower scenes looking for a glimpse of Sydney’s shin.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1799
Funny, I just went crawling back looking to see if the face bruise was actually consistently maintained. If anyone else is curious, no, it’s definitely missing in a bunch of the comics.
I’m guessing Sydney covered her face bruise with makeup, which the run and shower subsequently removed.
Grrl Power #149 – Let’s cut to the chase
You have a super with a beard.
Also in #186 the bandaged Arab looks like he has stubble.
Don’t know why you wouldn’t give super guys at least some facial hair. Body hair I can understand but at least give the guys that much.
Lots of superheros and villains have em. Green Arrow, Dr. Strange, Iron man, Wolverine, Sinestro, General Zod, Raz Al Gual, Death-stroke, Superman who is the son of Zod in the Justice League Gods and Monsters animated movie.
Again, body hair and facial hair are not the same thing
Well they both happen at puberty so I thought it would be weird to have supers not grow body hair post pubery (I don’t mean the downy stuff everyone has pre-puberty) but then be able to grow beards. Evidently I didn’t think that far ahead when drawing some of the other supers in flashbacks and flash… sides and they do have facial hair so I guess that’s the case now.
No body hair on super guys? That *is* disappointing. Shaved and waxed dudes just aren’t very attractive to me. well… at least Math isn’t technically a Super, right? So there’s still hope.
Nope, Math isn’t a super (as far as anyone can tell), but he doesn’t have chest hair.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/672
…A lot of scars, though…
There are those that do! My wife likes my chest hair, and ignores my back hair, and I had an ex that actually once HISSED and grabbed me possessively when I was offered a discount on laser hair removal at a party.
Also, there’s a sci fi novel from the 60’s where a guy gets it on with a humanoid cat alien, and DAMN, did that sound hot when i read it.
Sydney has a superpower to trip without even moving. She uses her mouth to do it.
But then in El Goonish Shive there’s a character who has on at least two occasions tripped while seated. And he did NOT use his mouth to do it.
Does Dabbler have any tech she can give Halo the will make the matianice simpler for her?
Better question: if you weren’t comfortable with obviously pan-sexual succubus making moves on you, would you want her helping you with body hair removal or the inevitable comments and innuendo she’d probably throw your way? lol
Yeah, I’ll bet she could come up with something the size and shape of a gun that does instant whole-body electrolosys from a range of a mile and a half. But why???
Based on this page I get the feeling that Dabbler is a fan of the movie “Earth Girls are Easy”.
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/57/89/7f/57897fe6e1a8727f3fbcb6a6aa7c5775.jpg
Uh… body shaming isn’t cool guys. She can keep her body hair! C’mon Syndey, don’t give in to peer pressure!
If only one of those two mysterious orbs was for body modification.
I wonder how much shampoo an anthro has to go through in a week…
Now I want a super that has the superpower of growing beard and mustache… maybe on anyone he want…
I would guess an anthropomorphic would go through a lot of hair conditioner.
I guess an anthropomorphic would have a hair dryer the size and shape of a shower stall. Or, you know, built into the shower stall to turn on right after finishing with the water.
Supers not growing body hair is just plain weird.
Let’s add it up. “All supers are apparently incredibly photogenic” … “Evolution doesn’t work like that” … “Yeah, they’re still trying to figure it out. All of them look like idealized versions of humanity.” …. “Holy crap there’s not so much as a B-cup in the place but they don’t have an ounce of body fat… ”
So this is just one more piece of evidence. Something is definitely going on. Dunno what it is, but this is either a separate species – and they all have human parents? Or some unknown, alien, agency is doing something to very intentionally mess with humanity.
I say alien because what they did requires technology so advanced we don’t even understand how it could be possible. Supers are drawing energy from, and sometimes matter from, and sometimes even transporting themselves through, some source that is as far as we can tell outside our universe.
I had been thinking It could be some kind of weird test – “we might want to open diplomatic relations with your backward planet, but first we want to see how your civilization handles contact with or integration of those who are truly different from yourselves and who can inspire both rational and irrational fear.” But body hair? That’s too small a detail to matter if that’s your agenda.
I had also been thinking It could also be some kind of experimenting or bush-league for an alien army – “Let’s see which soldier enhancements work best on these monkeys before we try a major recruiting drive here….” But once again, what would body hair have to do with that?
Or I had even been thinking maybe we’re even just seeing the rejects: “Yeah, we managed to get five hundred fully boosted and we abducted them just after birth, but in the process created a bunch who only got one or two of the powers each – no point taking them, they’d just get in the way.” Once again though … Body hair? Doesn’t have anything to do with it.
And I had been thinking that maybe this whole ‘verse is all some kind of World of Warcraft / City of Heroes simulation for extradimensional tweenagers. “I’m going to set one up with awesome flght and energy blast and invulnerability, but there’s a catch – they’re only awesome one at a time – and see how that character does.” “Oh yeah? I think I’ll make one totally invulnerable – and that’s the only power. Think I’ll get some funny stories out of that?” etc… But once again… Why body hair? That difference doesn’t even make sense for an “in the matrix” game.
Body hair? That is truly weird. And apparently too consistent to be accidental. What possible motivation would any agency, human or alien, have in producing pre-depilated supers?
Maybe they’re a hairless species, so adding it never accured to them, aside from the obvious head/face hair that they can always see that humans have.
Sort of a “forgotten detail” instead of a deliberate omission.
Does this take place post WereWorld? That would make more sense about furry men. And if so, could the supers have something to do with Enigma? Dabbler should have wide range satellites in orbit to keep an eye out for other extraterrestrial life in the area.
Dabbler looks..wierd. Maybe it’s the sweater.
She seemed a bit younger in the last few strips, too. She’s back to looking like herself again now. For the record, I like both versions . . .
Well, Dabbler did get a good chance to “recharge” herself just last night…Looking a bit younger might be a side-effect of it.
