I’ve had this scene in my head for a long time, but it was only recently that I thought of Sydney throwing him by his tongue. Normally she wouldn’t be strong enough to one arm a 190 pound guy over her hip like that but he was mid-double over and half blind. Also when someone starts yanking on your tongue like that, you kind of have to follow where it’s taking you.
Edit: I’ve fixed her hand so there’s no more mid-air grip reversal. Now to color the next page!

Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
For what it’s worth, I had no problem with the guy’s foot or the flying chilli peppers – made perfect sense to me.
But that’s just me. LOVE IT SO FAR.
…tongue fu?
Ironically the first ACTUAL use of a super power in this comic,(Excluding Sydney’s https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RequiredSecondaryPowers that causes the tube to , Missbehave …) is Accidental, and not by Sydney!
She looks positively monstrous in this picture, heh. I get the sense her power has something to do with her fiery temper…as well as her strange affinity (INSANE resistance) to spicy foods.
nope that’s just her.
Heh, heh. Pepper bees… my God… :P
Read Worm, skitter dunks flying bugs in pepper spray and flies them into you mouth, eyes and nose.
Be very afraid
Six years later, and I was rereading this novel to see if Sydney could out-swear Skidmark.
Spoiler: She can.
Why does his tongue look like a hotdog when Sydney grabs it?
you’ll see soon
Tongue-fu.
Ok, while I’m making comments on old comics, the end comment on this one make me laugh so hard I really did fall out of my chair the first time I saw it and still makes me laugh so hard I have to wipe tears from my eyes, the whole “Hah hah little pepper bees OH MY GOD SYDNEY!” is just priceless.
Is it scary and a little sad that i act about like Sydney does? mostly with the Fight over flight, instant reaction. . . .
Oh my hahaha what the hehehehehehe holy mother of hawhawhahwa!!!!
Tongues are…. kinda difficult to get a firm grip on…. unless they’re severely dried out.
Is anyone going to mention that an average angry woman just did what most karate experts can only do with someone’s arm, with his TOUNGE?
which might explain Maxima’s expression…
Have been reading this for years, and only just now, doing a spot of Archive Swimming, spotted her eyes in panel 5 (panel 4 contains the flying pepper-bees)
What are fhe odds that would happen?!
Welp, I just spent the last five minutes laughing so hard I started to choke. Thanks Dave! :p
I’ve been reading the comic since you started posting it, but just now started a re-read. NOW I remember why I started reading it in the first place. The new stuff needs more laughs with the potential to hospitalize the victims!
This one gave me such a laugh. Especially Sydney’s expression in the last panel.
I love the look on Maxima’s face in that last panel.
To elaborate on dave’s note that the guy was bent over, he also wasn’t exactly watching his balance. He’s just been kicked in the balls (any type of kick there with some strength behind it is enough to incapacitate most guys unless they’re protected or specifically trained against pain) as well as maced (pretty much). Getting grabbed by the tongue and then having significant force put on that makes it possible. Not to mention that the tonge is half a foot higher from his center of gravity compared to the arm, adding some extra leverage as well. Totally legit move.
I am so adding peper bees and a monster that has pepper breath to my lineup of april fools dnd monsters.
I have done throws like this IRL against adversaries. My biggests surprise was how effortless it was.
Your hip is at the perfect balance/fulcrum point. The pepper bees are the icing on this cake :) I also think his toungh would also be feeling the full effect of weapons grade hot pepper too
I love how shocked Maxima looks at that takedown.
Sydney is displaying a universal law found in all anime universes (save hentai) : never piss off tiny women for they are the most deadly! … I nearly asphyxiate from laughing too hard every time I read this particular page XD
i love maximina’s reaction at the end.
Max’s faces during this whole sequence are just perfect.
