Grrl Power #397 – We’re here to get your blood flowing in the mornings!
Dabbler may eventually get a talking to about leaving her sexual jetsam all over the place, but definitely not till after that gag has run its course. :) Sexual Jetsam is of course the new name of my non-existent band.
I’ve tried working out in the mornings, but I’m just not wired for it. I mean, I’m sure I could do it if I really really had to but it’s about 73rd down the list of things I’d rather do in the morning.
You know I think that Cupps place would be pretty popular. Sexdecuple means 16 when counting by uples, to save you guys some googling. A Nuple is 0. I almost went with unvigenuple cause it sounds really weird, but 21 pumps of caramel sounded overboard.
Don’t forget to check out the Valentines Day Sex Drive post, all of them are NSFW obviously, so hunch over your monitor if you’re at work.
I’ve started posting double resolution pages over at the Patreon for all supporters. ($1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like :)

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.
CARAMEL IS SPELT WITH 2 A’S!!
It’s too early Syd is pronouncing it wrong ;)
Or she’s American and just says it that way.
Or asking for that town in Indiana.
Wait, wasn’t that the name of the town that Clint Eastwood was the Mayor of in California?
Very nearly. That was Carmel, though it’s full name seems to be Carmel-By-The-Sea, California.
I thought it’s full name was Carmel-By-The-Sea-Do-You-Feel_Lucky-Punk-Well-Do-You, California.
#notallAmericans
#CARE-A-Mel
Why should that Brooks guy care about it? He’s rich from his career in comedy & making movies?
O.o
half of you are wrong about how it’s pronounced
Discuss
Clearly it’s the half in the minority.
It might be intentional – he did spell it right in the text below…
Car-ah-mel? What is this, England?
Considering how tired she is, I’m surprised she can be that coherent
Fixed it, thanks for the heads up.
So, is Jeanie a member of the team now, or did she just come over from the club last night?
Going off Mr DaveB’s under-comic blog thing (what do you Humans call those?) above and the conversation they had on the nightclub roof, I’d say Dabbler decided to test Jeanie’s origin more…thoroughly…
She was probably just Dabbler’s snack for the night
I somehow managed to forget that Dabbler DID snack on someone behind closed doors after the team returned from the club that night. Given Dave’s comment of Dabbler leaving her jetsam all over, mystery solved. :P
I think Jeanie’s “Who’s who” panel needs a little fix.
Unless she got screwed through the fourth wall.
DaveB has also is repeated in her description. should remove one of them.
Whoops, that’s fixed now.
I think Dabbler picked her up at the club.
LOL, I’ve seen Daniel the Human recreate that last panel. He works night shift Monday to Friday in entertainment hospitality, so a few times after a hard Friday night he’ll get home Saturday morning, try doing something, then just snooze out. He says the trick to keep going when tired it to pace yourself, but that doesn’t always work tho…
You know, there’s been more than one military course I’ve been on where the instructors wound up banning energy drinks and caffeine pills, after people kept overusing them and suffering various misfortunes, mostly puking and/or passing out during relatively light PT. Hopefully the concoction that Sydney just ordered is a little milder than that, or else she’ll be drinking nothing but decaf until Peggy decides she’s learned her lesson.
You can pass out from caffeine?
not so much “pass out” from the caffeine, as in “it’s not working anymore it’s making me SLEEPY” but “pass out” because your HEART gives out from too much work. as you can imagine, a medically BAD place to be.
I’ve heard of late-teens/twenty-somethings falling victim to the “heart say that’s it, I give up” problem from being addicted to those energy drink things. Daniel the Human hates them, all the ones he’s tried give him headaches. Coffee just scrambles his brain, makes it hard to think. Easy to confuse too. Just watch out afterwards if you convince you didn’t break his stuff, then works it out later…
Caffeine poisoning is Not Fun At All and can be Serious Business.
had a few laborers working down in South Texas during the summer, they loaded up on Monsters after pulling a bender at the bar the night before. Two of them died of heart failure due to extreme dehydration the rest were hospitalized. I don’t drink energy drinks anymore because of that incident.
All of a sudden that safety video they have us watching once a month at the warehouse doesn’t seem to comically behind the times and poorly acted.
Sexual Jetsom. I love it. Will there also be the cover band, Just Friends Flotsam?
They are sometimes confused with the band based on a futuristic 60’s cartoon, the ‘Sexual Jetsons”. Their last album listed Rosie as both a band member and one of the instruments. They were in the news a while back when they tried to play a concert on a giant treadmill. It did not end well.
Never step in between a girl and her coffee.
I saw Sexual Jetsam open for the Atomic Wedgie back in ’97 at the Whiskey.
CAFFEINATE MEEeee
*passes out*
Know that feeling.
8 shot 6 pump caramel espresso most I’ve done on a bad day was a 6 shot my brother went for an 8 shot mocha the shop used to give out punches for free shots didn’t pay for one of them and was buzzing the rest of the day after he got over being sick.
Go to dunken donuts and get a Black coffee coolata.
No milk or sugar.
We used to have them here in Washington they didn’t survive the 70’s the last one closed about 30 years ago. Also if I want drip I will make it myself cost less and taste better then Boyd’s or whatever bag of coffee Dunken’s is using now.

Is… that the Hooters equivalent of Starbucks? And this is in Archon Headquarters? Isn’t that a federal building? How is that allowed? I’m so confused on how this works.
There’s a McDonalds in the Pentagon…. So why not?
….really? Are we that obsessed with fast food?
YES, Yes we are… that’ll be the Legacy that America leaves the world when we finally go the way of the Dodo and are no longer around… our umpty-squat billions-removed descendants will be digging thru the remains on archaeological digs, and STILL be finding perfectly preserved Fries…
And those fries will still be edible and delicious
…And the apple pies will STILL burn your mouth…
…Thanks America, didn’t need to learn how that works…
At my age, I’m glad to get all of those preservatives in the food. when my time finally does come around, the mortician might not need to embalm me…
The fries will have long since decomposed. What they will find will be plastic bags and Styrofoam burger boxes.
In all due time, Mother Nature will still be able to break down that kind of trash. It may take a couple of million years to do so, but still…
It’s not the fast food I’m concerned about. It’s the fact that it’s basically a Hooters, and the skin is clearly on display.
You haven’t met Daphne, Anvil, Daphne, Dabbles, Daphne, Heatwave & Daphne, have you, they show similar amounts of skin (only ‘on duty’ Daphne doesn’t show much skin)
Peggy said that part of the building is actually a different part of the building itself. I assume it is actually a civilian area. Sort of like a mall built into the building. Its not that strange. Sometimes military bases are also towns where the families of soldiers live and run shops. I assume the area is for the team to get food not just from their mess hall and so they can save money on actually feeding their personnel while also making profit off of businesses for being there.
it’s actually the Mall that is in the same building, though it is separated from the public side via different elevator systems and walled off areas. Peggy explained it when her and Sydney went to lunch the day she got recruited. as for Cupps being there. eh, no biggie, they just got the spot at the mall, just like McD’s have on-base restaurants on Navy bases, and i think BK has the Air Force bases (to prevent a monopoly) who knows, maybe they’ll get the future contract for all the caffination spots at Archon bases, once more get established that is…
I still want to see a visit to Luftwaffles. A Nazi themed eatery? Offensive, possibly, delicious, jawohl.
Maybe it’s Imperial German / WW1 Luftwaffe themed?
Not everything Germanic themed has to National Socialist Workers Party of Germany themed
Was actually thinking of their national airline (is it still around?), but that was called “Lufthansa” wasn’t it?
Patron 1: Hey look! There’s a waitress giving a free appetizer to a customer!
Patron 2: I see nothing, nothing!
Reminds me of the morning after study night. That’s how I discovered Dunkin Donuts will cheerfully serve an extra large coffee with eight sugars. Good times.
Along with the gigantic sugar bomb that is a donut?
Yes, it’s blatant, and “in your face” (i WISH)… but for the moment, I’m ignoring the sexual marketing technique inherent in the system to comment that i think that’s a pretty cool uniform top they have… the cleavage IS the letter “U” good use of logo design, AND it’s still “family friendly” in the technical sense…
and i especially love the NAMES of the sizes of the drinks… “Crumb Shelf”, “Bazzoomba”…
well, at least we’re “pretty sure” ™ that Dabbler’s Hypno-Boobs work on non-humans too!
She’s a succubus. Her hypnoboobs probably work on trees.
She gives them woodies… :P
if it works on “The Trees” from Dr. Who then i wouldn’t mind a threesome…
What about a treesome? o_O
But…but…Wouldn’t your Sonic Screwdriver be useless in that situation?…
Hey, Dave –
over in the “Who’s who” section, under “Jeanie” , it appears you stuttered with “is also is also” (?) Sorry about being a Grammar Nazi, but these things just get under my skin.
Maybe the employees at Cupps have a superpower to be impervious to steam? Or maybe the super-haberdasher in Archon employ also constructed the Cupps uniforms.
Even after you pointed it out it took me two reads to see it. The line return hid it.
There is an ad up for Great T-Shirt Store that has Sydney’s level-up chart in white on a black shirt, on this comic. Does Dave get a cut of that action?
he may have been the guy that submitted the artwork in the first place, and as such i would expect that he IS getting a cut… BUT… if they DIDN’T get it from him, then he had better contact them quick to get it pulled, or a contract established for him to get his share of the proceeds.
Oh hey, it’s my coffee order. Except I usually say:
Me: “Give me a large espresso.”
Barista: “Uhh, how many shots?”
Me: “… large. Usually ends up being about 14 if you leave some room at the top.”
I take the same as Sydney, just in a little bigger scale. *Hands over a bucket*
She should probably stop by the medic station and see if they have her prescription on hand. I’m curious what she would be like without her meds but I’m not sure Max & Co want to have to deal with that.
I just checked Dave’s Patreon. He’s getting $2,974.25 per month! That’s more than a lot of people get paid. So much for a starving artist! :) Plus, the IRS must be after him to get their cut (evil IRS :). Also, I think Max wanted kill when saw Cupps (I also think it would be very popular. :)
I’m thinking Sydney just has too much blood in her caffeine stream…
common problem I have too.
Lots and lots of jetsam….
Not a morning person either. Not fully awake till at least 10 am. Don’t like to eat early in the morning.
Lots of skin showing for a Java place.
How to tell that Leon is a true nerd:
He hears that there is a new JAVA shop in the building and is disappointed to find out that they are not coding web applications.
no it isn’t… here in the Seattle/Tacoma area, we have ones that are WAAYYY! more showy than that. but. the ones that do that are definitely NOT inside popular shopping malls, they are usually out in the suburbs/unincorporated portions of the city/counties
Holy &%¤% thats some voting incentive..
No foolin’
Brooke is (literally) smokin’ HOT there.
if Syd just passed out why did’t the orbs fall like when she droped after the super brawl.
That took a few moments I think.
Maybe ‘passing out’ is different to ‘falling asleep’
Having worked in customer service industries in the past, I hope that Sydney apologises to that waitress for her behaviour and remembers not to do it again.
Working in customer service currently…
That woman had no business opening her mouth. her job is to get the coffee, not make commentary on how healthy it is, especially considering she works in a building full of neigh invincible metahumans. If a waiter or waitress ever tried to tell me what I can and cannot order (with the obvious exception of them not having the item in question) you’d better believe their manager would know about it.
Given that what Sydney is asking for is probably a dangerous level of caffeine, I think she acted correctly. On your point about who are customer’s are, there reasons to worry about too much caffeine.[1] We expect people in bars to cut people off who have had too much, she’s not even going that far. She’s just asking.
[1] What if the girl in The Ring grew up and married a human. Erma is their daughter.
You are evil! SOOO EVUL!!
My favorite Internetcomic watchlist went critical …
and i cant stop of thinking a Sydney&Erma Halloween crossover special @.@
I’m glad that you like it. Now you’ve got me thinking about a crossover. lol
Every time I see something like this, I think back to my college days at the beginning of the caffeine revolution. The Zophie’s Fix was 4oz of House, 4oz of Colombian, 4oz Dark Roast, 4 shots of espresso, and 16oz of cream to take the edge off. That was $5 in early 90’s dollars. I was the first person to figure out how to get them to go. (Gatorade bottles are a wonder of engineering.)
actually there are coffee shops that are starting up like that, however they go all the way to bikini and lingerie instead of revealing uniforms.
So now we have an answer for what Jeanie dreams of.
What? o_O
Obviously, if her name is Jeanie then she is dreaming that she has light brown hair.
(This joke may have set a record for longest pop culture reference at 162 years)
I wonder how many will get that reference. :p
Forget the cup, just give her a caffeine I.V.
Don’t let Greenie anywhere near the commander of the group.
SUPER EARLY JOKE CALLBACK NOBODY CARES ABOUT, YAY – and probably mentioned once or twice already. too tired to read the comments.
Actually you are the first to make that connection.
Here’s your trophy, ribbon, and a voucher for a Scoville special at Fusion.
Can they make it a little hotter?
WOW, I actuallly make something similar to that to wake me up in the mornings….. Yeah, sometimes I think my heart might stop a second when I drink it, but then it starts back up again and everything is fine……
Technically, your heart is continuously starting & stopping, even under normal circumstances. If it doesn’t start up again is when you need to call 911 with all due haste.
I know, its called a mild joke just let it be man, just let it be….
Sooo..A LOT of comments, and I am not sure if it is commented on already(haven’t read ALL of them yet). but I had to throw out there. the subtle markings on the man behind Syd’s face waiting in line. Reminds me of a couple of tribes/cults in other literature. if he is at all affiliated or even similar to them, he needs to come out soon.
Thought it was just a shadow from the overhead window slash skylights, but then just noticed he has a similar lines on his right side
Sidney’s reaction made me think of Rich Stevens’ mug: https://store.dieselsweeties.com/products/fucking-coffee-mug
Ermm, isn’t everyone in the facility, military or civilian a member of Archon? If so, why any need to mention a discount?
Any given government facility will have any number of contract workers, temporary employees, visitors, dignitaries, etc. at any given time. Presumable the woman working the counter is open to the possibility that Sidney isn’t a full fledged member of Archon on the basis that she’s never seen her in the shop before.
Hmmm, I don’t think so, she does refer to Sydney as Halo the Archon member. This is Sydney’s 1st visit, so she might/probably doesn’t know about the discount. I’m told by Daniel the Human the people in customer service are usually told to point out discounts & deals customers are able to get, so they’re more likely to come back next time…
Maybe because, seeing how it’s in the ‘civilian’ section of the building, they have non-Archon members visiting?
Someone just posted this on the DCUO forums: One More Cup Of Coffee
Seeing the menu is the last nail for me believing that this is a coffee shop chain Maxima never frequents. Scanty outfits ‘and’ the drinks are all named after slang for womens breasts?
Feminists who take offense at objectifying women say what?
I always feel bad for people having to work at places like that. I bet a lot of jerks show up to Hooters thinking they can harass the women.
Places like that tend to have people watching out for jerks like that
So Dabbler had sex last night with the waitress who is really an alien in disguise.
Do you suppose she let on to Jeanie that she knew she wasn’t of this Earth? If so, did the waitress drop her camouflage while they had fun? If not and Jeanie stayed in disguise, it suggests that Greenie genitalia and erogenous zones are in the same place as human ones.
In any case, it must be a helluva good disguise she’s using if it could stand up to the kind of close inspection she could expect to get when having sex.
MOISTURIZE ME!
