Grrl Power #357 – One of the least painful ways to get shot down by Maxima
All in all, a successful interaction with a woman for him. His name is Brad apparently. I forgot, but an astute reader pointed out that his name was actually in the comic way back in the day. (embarrassing art link)
When I started this page I wasn’t quite sure what Maxima’s reaction would be to a clumsy pass. I briefly fantasized about Brad getting tazed but the editor in me quickly nixed that. Sydney… I could see doing it but Max has more practice with restraint, after all, she knows if she slaps someone’s hand away, she could literally slap their hand away. Which isn’t to say she hasn’t broken the odd metacarpal in her day. In any case she didn’t give Brad a chance to finish his sentence. He could have been planning to say “…tactical sense. The battle last night was won and lost on your leadership.” It’s probably not what he was going to say though.

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.
“Maybe he’s an adrenaline junkie and thrives on near death experiences?”
Not with that gut.
It is possible to be an adrenaline junkie and be overweight. Someone who gets their fix by driving at high speed, for instance. He could even get extra thrills, from the danger of eating whilst driving!
Maxima should arrest him, if she saw him doing that, needless to say. Dangerous driving is illegal.
Is it possible to be overweight while being an adrenaline junkie? Absolutely, but increased weight causes low metabolism which slows reaction times. Someone who does dangerous things while being overweight would likely not be able to react to save themselves if something went wrong. This goes against the self preservation instinct. Basically someone who does this sort of thing is suicidal. And I say this as someone who is formerly overweight.
You may have forgotten how stupid this guy is. He could not understand that unless a comic was listed they could not order it. Even if it had been mentioned, in another context, in the publication.
Plenty of people take stupid risks, in search of thrills. Most fat people will not wait until they have lost their weight to get their fix. I say this having likewise been overweight myself.
If their thing is driving fast, they do not need to loose weight to do that. And stupid ones would not realise that poor physical condition is impairing their ability. They take their chances.
Like we see him doing above. If he were to work out, until he looked buff, before taking his shot, he might raise his chances above zero. But he was being driven to act now.
Whilst I would agree that he is more likely just an average couch potato, the alternative hypothesis does none-the-less still withstand scrutiny.
Every greasy burger is a near death experience for him :D
Every potential heart attack is another thrilling adventure for…. obesity man!
Every time I read this page, part of me really needs to know what he was going to say. Is DaveB buried somewhere in these hundreds of comments answering someone about that? Do I need to go comment diving? Nope, I’ll just pretend from his general line of sight that it was about something on her head. Hair, eyes, cheekbones, lips, ears (could you blame him? Elves are popular), nose. It’s something up there, and this shall be my new headcanon on the matter due to laziness and the possibility that there is no answer lurking in this abyss anyway.
Clothes. Max has a really nice Tailor. And the lack of strays in her ponytail is astonishing. That’s totally where he was going.
