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.
respect show it to that short girl
Brilliant! Now if only she used even more unconventional attacks, then this comic would be made of win!
Did she just stun him with a kick to the pills and hot pepper breath?
That’s exactly what she did, then grabbed his tongue and threw his head to the ground.
I like it :D
There’s a lot of action but the illustration is clear enough that it’s not confusing. I love at least 5 of the faces being pulled and you nearly got a spit take as I was drinking tea when I scrolled down for the last panel.
The illustrations for the pepper bees are a bit too subtle though (imo). I didn’t realise they were anything except peppers to illustrate how hot Sydney’s breath was until I read the footer text. Even the “We sting your eyes!” didn’t make me associate them with bees to begin with.
Yeah they’re a little hard to discern, agreed. Originally they were just peppers and then I thought it’d be funny to add the stingers. The problem is when I’m working at 600 DPI I can zoom in really close and after that I know what to look for so I can see small details that others won’t in first glance.
??????
Is Sydney going to be successful in concealing her secret?
Didn’t see THAT coming!
Also… I don’t think there’s enough tongue to grab to flip a guy.
Was thinking the same thing, but it is a comic after all. Tongues are also impossibly difficult to get a hold on.
Don’t forget–she’s a budding superhero. Maybe it’s part of her super power?
I see Maxima asking Syd “And just WHY didn’t you do that before?”
Loving the comic (been lurking since the start!) but at the slow update speed, I’ve spent the past month just waiting for that damn tube to be opened…….
God this had me laughing so hard. Pepper Bees and the Tongue Toss are awesome. I only wish to be this awesome :)
OMG!! I love Maxima’s face! Awesome work.
I love Maxima’s face in the last panel. No one was seeing that coming lol ^^
Oh Hell’s yeah! That is fricken sweet! And Pepper breath can and will be used as a deadly weapon. I love this,
Considering she was eating something that was almost pure capsaicin before she even got to the bank, it stands to reason that it was just as bad as a bio assault.
Touching a stranger’s tongue? Eww! Go find some hand sanitizer now!
No chance in hell any bacteria will ever survive the amounts of capsaicine that Syd is regularly gobbling down!
Well, we see where the Maxima WTF face came in.
And nobody mentions the chibi Syd screaming “Equalizer Kick”?! Never has such a fighting move been give 2 names at one.
Heh yeah I was going to point out that it’s not much of an equalizer, as I’m pretty sure that kicking a gal in the bits like that would hurt pretty bad too. Maybe not as much or for as long but chances are it’d still make her drop you.
It does. When a kid, my cousin (principal’s daughter) thought it would was funny to go round kicking guys in the beans. And no one gonna do anything to her, considering who her dad was. Then she bagged me. After I got up, I boxed her, toes up. She collapsed in a pile just as bad as any guy, and you can’t hold onto your insides when you been boxed. Put an end to her little game pretty quick.
And was tearing up laffing last two pages.
I’ve heard that hitting a woman in the um, breasts, is just as painful as the 7/10 split above. Since nobody seems to consider that area out of bounds that’s probably a myth. As for flipping someone by their tongue. Guess it depends on how long their tongue is to begin with. Of course it might be longer after she’s done. ^_~
now Maxima will think that Syd is a super because of the pepper breath
I needed that laugh. Sydney for the Win!
I doubt Mr Shotgun is down for the count, but he just lost his gun and his hostage. Kinda reduces his bargaining position, no?
Yo Syd! Kick him a few dozen times while he is down!
i loved this panel and the look on max face,, and the pepper breath,, and all,,, only thing is sydney’s fist as she grab and throw the guy,,, first its thunds pointing inside outh,, then thumb pointing out,, other then that its great,, lov this comic so farL)
Funny thing is, for a human, Syd sure is superhuman.
Loved the chibi and Max’s face. Never heard of pepper bees, but at least now I understand the odd lonely wing on it, wasn’t sure what those lines represented before.
Heh, nice one Syd, but how the heck did you reverse grip mid-throw?
Sydney’s grip does reverse somehow mid-flip. But that’s okay cause she just flipped a dude by his tongue. Which is awesome.
Jeez maybe I should fix that. I didn’t realize it until after I had started coloring and I didn’t think it was worth changing, but I guess a lot of people did.
I wouldn’t worry about it. Only three people or something mentioned it, and I’m not actually bothered by it. It’s a pretty common art mistake that seems like it would be pretty hard to fix sometimes. I’m no artist though so… *shrugs*
I only noticed because I take particular notice of all grips in comics as I’m a bit of a sword fighting nerd.
I actually pictured this as her rotating her wrist during the throw which is possible :)
. Of course the back to front hold is a little off :P so I see what ya meant
HA equalizer kick to a tai pepper breath eye sting into a tongue jerk for the win and im pressed Max ta boot ,but i think my favorite part is withthe talking peppers that made me giggle
Apparently Sydney does not take to attempts on her life well (and a sleeper hold done wrong can easily kill). Still that was quite a flip from annoyed and cussing to SYDNEY SMASH. Unless that was her plan the whole time.
Now she can grab the dropped gun, hold her former captor hostage, and end the bank robbery without ever revealing her powers (cue screaming fan) :P
And if it makes you feel better, I never noticed the reversed grip until it was pointed ut.
Actually I think she’s PO’d enough to grab her tube and and open it saying something to Maxima like: “If you aren’t going to do anything.” That might be in a very euphemistic and indecipherable stream of colorful invective though. ^_~
Haha, guess Maxima hasn’t seen Tongue Judo before….
Oh, no. Her language is clearly from a hard style. That can’t be tongue judo.
Oh, you mean the throw!
lol I wasn’t even thinking about that… Thousands of monks training in the ways of the tongue… both physically and verbally… :D
Yes, trained in a remote mountain monastery deep in the Himalayas, alongside dozen of Shaolin, did Syd learn the arts of Tounge Fu.
In a word…SCORE! More please…
Very nice action – but where’s the tube? I’ve been waiting 4 weeks now for the tube. Maybe if we starting a cheer, the tube will open…
Tube! Tube! Tube! Tube! Tube! Tube!
Don’t make Sydney angry you wouldn’t like her when she’s angry…. Because she will tongue judo you hind end :D
And really if this is the stuff sydney can do with out the tube I’m worried what she can do with it…
“Pepper Breath”? Methinks somebody’s been watching Digimon Season 1 dubbed recently.
Lol sure was some spicy ring of fire sauce to Still be that potent. About the same potency as a can of inferno spray by that reaction. 3rd panel onwards she goes demon-faced ^^
All I can say is… IT’S ABOUT F’ING TIME!!!!
The attention getter kick, the revenge of the lunch, and finally the takedown; and all on just pure rage – just perfect! I’m sorta scared to see how badass Sydney will be once she breaks out the tube’s contents.
Well, I’m not going to piss her off. Ever. I like my tongue where it is
Hah! I love the look on Maxima’s face. I’ve never encountered weapon’s grade pepper breath before though. Between that and the tounge throw Sydney appears to be a master of dental-fu.
what do you meen unconventional judo? any martial arts master worth his salt can through you by your toung… or was that rip it out of your head?
I can see this coming up in about 2-5 years.
“Okay, private. We need you to subdue the terrorists with your mace breath. You know. That thing you did back in the bank when we me… What do you MEAN you don’t have any sort of mace breath power?”
And by 2-5 years, I mean real time, not comic-time.
Who knows , but if she keeps on her steady diet of Mandarin Lava it might just be possible that she’d be able to subdue anybody.
hey who needs pepper spray when you can just eat it and burp later…. wait what!?! lolol i have learned a few strips ago to not have any beverage in my mouth when reading this
That is apparently the source of Dhalsim’s technique.
lol epic pwnage… just gotta love that wtf face on Maxima too
Haha, so awesome!! Sydney in the last panel is epic, and Maxima is totally like “WTF” =D I love this comic
HYPER COMBO FINISH!!!
I got to say I love the comic so far. just found it yesterday and been laughing since then.
But I have one question, did you mean to leave Maxima’s mouth of in the last panel? I am just curious cuz I was lookin and I noticed that while Maxima’s face is in the perfect “What the bloody flippin heck!” look, her mouth was absent.
It’s probably fair to call my art style a bi-polar mix of manga and western comic art, the “no mouth cause I’m stunned and/or otherwise surprised” look is definitely borrowed from manga. I’m having trouble googling an example, but if you’ve read any manga that has comedy in it, you’ve probably seen it.
Ahh I see. Thanks for explaining. I just noticed it and was curious.
Actually when it’s the cast pic at the top of the page you can see her mouth, it’s at the bottom of her face, but at the page zoom it’s too small.
either that or it’s a bit of shading :P
Damn. I doubt that guy will be talking at all for the next year. owie!
I believe we have one case of Massive concussion and a bleeding tongue. On the plus side of things that bank robbers’ GF might be a little happier once her gets out of the hospital … stretched tongue and all that …
He’s going to get a job as a Gene Simmons impersonator.
Damn … I’m surprised Syd didn’t just pull his tongue out and beat him to death with it alá Mortal Kombat. She could do it, I bet.
Ow
