Grrl Power #522 – Little Giant Miss Matchmaker
I haven’t shown nearly as much of this as I’d have liked in the comic, but Anvil and Max are pretty good friends, and Anvil is concerned that Max hasn’t been on a date in a while. ( Or under a date in a while.) Not that dating her subordinate is really an option, but maybe she figures pressing her up against a prime slab of beef might ignite her interest with other options. Or she just thinks its funny to smoosh her naked teammates together.
Considering there’s a slab of concrete in between them, Max is secretly just a little impressed. And flattered. Not, you know, flattered in a “I’m validated by male attention” way. More of a “I know I’m sexy, not that being sexy is central or critical to my self identity, but it’s still nice to know that others know I’m sexy.” People are complicated.
Both Max and Hiro are stronger than Anvil, though when she’s all juiced up with kinetic energy, she could probably take Hiro. She burned most of what she had stored with that Super Suplex. Still, Max and Hiro both know to be careful with their strength, even when a friend is being totally inappropriate. Plus if Max pushed Hiro away she wouldn’t be able to cover herself.

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.
I kind of feel sorry for the evil one. “The great escape.” Has turned into a “Ya, got em naked so I left, at a walk.” Not something to right home about.
I dunno his forest is on fire. He will be in a panic, gathering up all his nuts, and trying to get them out unsinged!
Focus people! You have two people damaged, two unknowns strung up being drained and a Big Bad in the area! Boners and getting Maxima laid are (sadly) secondary!
Perhaps the CAST section is need of update… Hiro especially for notable appearances >.<
Amen. We really need a wiki for fans (that know how to) update these things. DaveB is busy enough as it is.
There is a Grrl Power Wiki, which I note has had various updates since I last checked it out.
With kind thanks to whichever fans are getting the ball rolling on that!
Harem in back recording this whole thing to offer in trade for various items from Dabbler.
I believe she already knows about it. After all Her sense is tingling! XD
Dabbler’s basically homing in on them by now, probably… while Harem is filing it from any possible viewpoint. They’d probably get rich off it… or at least have some fun in the troops.
Fun within the troop – right until the Colonel finds out. Remember the “Lipstick Prank” that Harem pulled? And what the Colonel pulled it retaliation?
Now that would be hypocritical: it’s fine if Maxi does it, but not if someone does it to her
Butt… in that specific case, it wasn’t what Harem did that rewarded Bodie a direct Maxima-wedgie (with a four-some domino effect, believe Blondini was the only one not seen as part of the fall-out), but where she did it: in public, which would have reflected extremely very badly on Archon as a whole, and Maxi personally
Remember: as far as the public would have been aware, Maxi just sexually abused the heck out of a pair of critically injured suspected bank robbers
Just here to say…that ALL of Dabblers senses must be tingling something fierce right about now.
‘Is that a mars bar in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?’
‘… I have no pants’
‘… ahh.’
Also it’s more a family size mars pack
If they go into the building across the street they can probably find an absolutely gigantic one!
Ka-Pants!
Brilliant solution! Prisoners are allowed to work. In fact they are encouraged to, in more enlightened regimes,* as it reduces the chances of reoffending. Should the Archon prison find his word trustworthy enough,** they could offer him such work, if he gives his parole that he will not use the opportunity to escape.
Maxima, Hiro, please meet your new Emergency Pants Tailor, Vehemence.
* Or forced to, as slave labour, in the less enlightened ones.
** I would not like to be the one having to make such a judgement call mind. But his behaviour towards Halo shows that he does have honour, even if his morals as regards inflicting pain and suffering, on others, is screwed up.
Prisoners working in prison factories isn’t about reducing the chances of reoffending, but about them re-paying their debt to society
It is both and more. Reducing the reoffence rate makes society a safer place, so it is in our best interests to do that. Therefore placing greater emphasis on the punishment aspect, to the extent of making it an absolute, whilst ignoring the benefits, to both the offender and society, would therefore be placing everybody at greater risk.
I do not like policies which endanger me more. I want to see prisoners punished and become less likely to repeat their offenses. Obviously executing everybody who committed any offense would cut the reoffense rate to zero. Plus it would satisfy the desire to see the offender punished. But we live in a society which will not permit such.
So, whilst we cannot abolish the concept of using prison altogether, we should do so in a way that maximises the ability to safely reintegrate the prisoners into society, once they have served their time.
If no work or only slave labour is used, in accordance with the principles of punishing the prisoners, as a priority over rehabilitating them, we see the results of high reoffence rates. Whereas if the inmates are taught a vocation, which they choose, and earn sufficient money to feel motivated, by enjoying the benefits of their labour, then the reverse occurs.
Obviously the type of offense does impact how much of a benefit could be obtained. Certain sexual offenders will remain a risk regardless of their economic circumstances. However those who’s crimes were due to, or aggravated by, poverty would have the most potential to escape the cycle of reoffending.
My example is clearly just a comical one mind. No way would someone who incited violence and murder, and attempted to murder a police officer himself, be allowed out in such a way. But once someone has served their time, even violent offenders need to get work, or they will be a burden upon society.
So if Vehemence escaped the death penalty, or life without the possibility of release, then even he would need a job, eventually. I was just posing the quirky scenario in a way where we could envisage Vehemence doing that now, rather than in 20 or 30 years time.
In America, it is neither about repaying a debt to society or about their potential to re-offend. It’s about the fact that our privatized prison system will use literally any and every possible method to make a buck.
Cynical, much? I work for the Virginia Department of Corrections. Preparing inmates for reentry into society starts on their first day. We don’t seek to punish inmates – incarceration IS the punishment.
A suitably enlightened approach.
*wags tail earnestly*
I have to agree with Gary. I don’t even work for the Department of Corrections, but I have a friend who worked at the Telford Unit in Texas. There, rehab is the focus… they have educational programs in Agriculture, Construction Carpentry, Electrical Trades, Small Engine Repair, and probably some that I don’t know about.
It’s all about preparing them for the return to society by teaching them usable job skills so that hopefully they won’t feel the need to resort to criminal activity to make a living. And to be honest, a lot of prisoners re-offend simply because they’re afraid to return to the outside world, or they don’t want to give up the perks.
Think about it… a roof over their head, even if it’s just a 6-by-8 cell shared with another inmate (1.8 meters by 2.4 meters), clean clothing (even if it’s a prison uniform), free medical care, and three square meals a day, which they don’t have to pay for, because the taxpayers are picking up the tab. To some people, those benefits are worth it (and certainly better than living in a cardboard box under the overpass, scrounging through dumpsters for discarded food).
a problem many released prisoners have because employers see the incarceration and proceed to consider the person just out to commit a new crime at the place of employment or otherwise count them unworthy to be employed.
Which is all the more reason why maximum effort must be made to minimise recidivism rates. If they are consistently low, then such fears will be lowered. Whereas if they are the reverse, then the businesses would be justified in refusing to employ staff, who are statistically likely to offend against either themselves or their customers.
Further there is a feedback loop. If parolees feel they are always mistrusted then they may have a knee-jerk reaction against that. So it can be a delicate balance between ‘we are trusting you, but do not take us for gullible fools, who you can take advantage of’ and ‘we do not trust you and are always watching your every move’.
It’s not about punishment, Gary. It’s about profiteering. Check the Adam Ruins Everything episode on prisons.
Pants wouldn’t have helped if concrete is too frail for his boner.
Well, they do have a super clothes maker. Their clothing is bullet proof (eehm, resistant)
A boner that can pop through concrete… I wonder if the major might have been a little… sexually repressed and deprived? Even with superstrength, thats impressive.
and just like that I have a new favorite character.
Yeah, Anvil is pretty funny here.
Guys this was a mini-boss. How bad is the level boss going to be?
I guess we get to see “the orgy in a public parking lot resulting in mass property damage and injuries” after all?
Depends. Do you think Sciona has something that looks important, and can be removed like that?
Her brain.
Sciona might be able to regenerate that, but I doubt any memories would be restored. A mindless enemy will be a lot easier to defeat than a blood mage.
Although there are potential ethical issues with police using such techniques.
Lethal force is (sadly) authorized commonly. The fact that scionia might be incapable of death thru conventional means is irrelevant.
*nods*
But any death caused by police is investigated.* And this would be a particularly high-profile case. Even if it is necessary, ‘ripping out the offender’s brain’ is going to be a very hard sell for Arianna to do public relations damage control on.
They should leave this option to being a last resort, after they have eliminated any less-gory alternatives.
* This is a covert operation though, so may not come under public scrutiny. And technically no law would have been broken, as no human was killed.
Not that I am in favour of such deceptive ploys. Police should be held accountable, even if there are good reasons for maintaining secrecy. I hope that there is some mechanism for oversight of their actions behind the veil. Such as a Senate committee which would represent the public interest.
Maybe with a member of the press corps (suitably sworn to secrecy until the Veil is eventually lifted) to document the process. Of which Suzy News would be an obvious candidate. Her reports could even be made available to those behind the Veil (including those off-planet), to ensure the maximum level of public scrutiny possible is reached. Within the limitations imposed by keeping the secret of the Veil.
No, if this required a member of the press to document the case, should go with Pinky, or simply get one of the Council (don’t have to be a member of the press to record stuff, just have a camera)
The former would be OK. I guess.
*pouts*
The latter only from the point of view of having wider representation, for which I would endorse having several actually. But not for replacing the press role I proposed. Unlike gutter press, investigative journalists are an essential pillar of justice. Having a camera means nothing if it is not pointed in the right direction at the right time.
And often this means being in places where the powers-that-be would rather the journalist was not. Which a member of the establishment would probably avoid doing, as rocking the boat would not serve their career interests. The opposite of the incentives that a journalist has.
Likewise it means asking questions that they very often would not want to answer. Whilst a faction member might be relied on to ask the questions that represented the concerns of their faction, they would not be so bothered about those of a rival or enemy group. Likewise they would not be representative of the mundane human population, who are the biggest demographic that needs a champion.
And, for the latter reason, I think Suzie Wen would actually make the better journalist. Pinkie was giving the impression of just going through the motions. Whereas Suzie has passion. OK she does have a heavy bias in favour of positive reporting for heroes. But that is because she is young and idealistic.
Idealism is perfect for a good investigative journalist. Because if she sees role-models abusing their power, it will drive her to speak out, and try to get them to stick to the heroic role she desires them in!
Reason why discounted Suzie, is because she is still a rookie-reporter (even if she may or may not be seeing the Spin Queen ;)), and was actually thinking of official records, even if they are sealed (for now), not undercover “The People have a right to know what happens behind the scenes!” crap
Sealed records is certainly the way that governments like to handle such things. Trouble is that means that if there are abuses going on, then nobody gets to find out about it for decades. All of which time wrongs can continue to be perpetrated.*
I admit that my approach is a fanciful one, that seeks to adapt our principles of a free press, to dealing with a widely known secret (everybody in the galaxy possibly being in the know, barring the majority of humans). So it is probably not the route that the comic would end up going.
Plus, yea, I mostly want Suzie because she is nice and fun. A boring seasoned reporter would indeed be the more sensible option, if going that way.
However one of the other pillars of justice I mentioned above is the judiciary itself. If police are operating in a covert manner, there should be judicial oversight of their actions, in addition to the purely political ones I mentioned above. And rather more importantly too, if seeking to minimise the risk of rogue operations or other abuses.
This is a less fanciful route. However judges, on their own, would have no practical way of making sure that what they were being told was accurate or reliable. If there was no investigative reporting role, then there would have to be something else fulfilling that function. Perhaps an internal affairs division, of Archon?
Who watchers the super police? The Arc-Angels!
* Like using LSD on their own populations, or testing diseases on troops (but telling them it is something relatively mild, when it is actually a dangerous type) or similar on civilians of other nations (without their knowledge or concent).. All of which were actual government programs, which went on for years, under cover of secrecy.
isnt there some psychology behind which eyebrow is raised?
Maybe, i know i use my left eyebrow when I’m curious
Maybe if the person can raise either eyebrow. Many people can’t, so I assume there’s also a large number that can only raise a single eyebrow (and there may be some psychology to that, as well as physiology).
It’s just a dominant characteristic thing, like dominant hand, and dominant eye. It means nothing more than being right or left handed.
Everybody is kind of asymmetric, just take a photo, cut it in half, then hold the halves up to a mirror (or better yet, do the same effects with photoshop). You’ll see that the two faces you’ve just made look somewhat different and have a bit different expressions. What it means is you’re a human with a brain composed of two hemispheres and a bilateral symmetry that isn’t perfect. :)
Oops… Forgot to point out that I believe that even applies to the supers in this comic. After all, they may have ‘perfect’ bodies, but totally perfect symmetry in humans tends to look creepy, and the supers aren’t creepy. (Ok, some are creepy, but it’s not because of that.)
I guess it’s part of the Uncanny Valley phenomenon.
A perfectly symmetrical face would likely be the result of an abnormality. The left and right hemispheres of the brain have different functions. If there were to be someone who had a totally symmetrical head, that might result in them having two left hemispheres or two right ones.
I doubt if such a person would be viable mind, but the brain is adaptable, so some parts might be repurposed, to cover functions normally found in the other half. So it is possible that the person might be able to function. But assuming that their brain retained most of the characteristics, either version would produce individuals with very different mental characteristics to baseline humans.
For instance one half is good with emotional tasks, so doubling up on that might result in an extremely emotional person. Whereas the reverse possibility would end up with a relatively emotionless person.
Either way feeling uneasy in their presence would be a very useful evolutionary trick. It would make observers cautious in their dealings and desire to avoid prolonged contact. Either of which might increase their survival chances, when dealing with individuals who think in a radically different way to themselves.
Of course, in modern society we are better able to handle such differences. But that ‘creeped out’ feeling would still remain, niggling at us, when seeing a flawlessly perfect face.
Don’t you just hate when your boner breaks through solid concrete?
All the time, completely ruins my sense of physics when my underwear and pants can contain this power, but concrete? nah, not a bit of resistance.
Fabric bends, moves, and stretches. Concrete does not do these things.
Correct. A good tailor will accommodate such issues easily. Once they know a client’s needs, they can ensure that the fabric has enough room to move out of the way, and/or stretch within its tolerance range . Done well, the cloth will not be subject to any forces that would damage it.
The real trick, especially with military uniforms, is to make sure that it does not look too obvious.
But there are various tricks of the trade that can help to do that. Hiro just needs to ensure he gets his clothes made by someone who does that well. Archon has a very good tailor, in Iron Cloth.
Panel 6 just has to be included in the cast montage.
It is great.
But I think there would be real problems in cropping it to fit the normal shape, without loosing a lot of the top and bottom. Whereas keeping the whole face visible would end up with gaps either side that would need a border. Which would not match the others in the rotation, and so would look odd too. And drawing in more of the face, would be too much hassle just for that purpose.
Unless… DaveB (or today’s mystery guest artist) already had drawn the entire head and simply got edited to fit between the new Anvil
I’m sorry but this comic is straining my suspension of disbelief rather badly. They know there is another dangerous hostile in the area and hostages. As veteran soldiers Anvil, Hiro and Maxima should all know that seconds count in a crisis. To be so undisciplined as to let simple nudity cause them to waste this much time in a battle zone reflects poorly on all of them.
Umm – hostiles that probably can’t hurt anyone there, and with no civilians in the area. And even in battle, being suddenly nude when not expecting it can easily cause someone to freeze. (If you’re ever in a house fire and in the shower and can’t grab clothes/underwear it is horrendous! There have been a few people who have gotten badly hurt for the extra bit of time to get clothes/robe/blanket when they really shouldn’t.) :(
So the supernaturals capried up in the warehouse don’t count as innocent civilians in danger? You don’t think a bloodmage as brilliant as Siona can’t do anything scary with that much supernatural blood available to her?
I don’t think either of these 3 know about those.
Yea, Sydney did not have time to report that, before the fight kicked off. And she is too sleepy (and distracted) to remember right now.
Anyone doubting Sydney’s ability to forget stuff, do recall that she forgot that the assembled press corps were there, even when they were sitting right in front of her!
Spamotron is correct. They are ON-MISSION. They are veteran professionals. They have seen and caused death. They have drilled to prevent losses on their side and to neutral parties. What they should be doing right now instead of flipping out over nudity, is assessing the situation, checking to see if the robot is ACTUALLY dead, debriefing Sydney, securing the area, looking for Sciona, and THEN Hiro has time to worry about his boner and Maxima to have all the time in the world to be offended by boners. Anvil… I’m not sure about Anvil, but whatever she’s doing is double-wrong.
If this sort of thing was witnessed by a higher-up I’m sure they would both be under some form of punishment. I mean, I imagine Max is stronger than Anvil, and yet both Hiro and Max were pushed together. If neither of them wanted this to happen, they both damn well could have just dug their heels in and been like “Anvil. The hell are you trying to do? Stop that nonsense woman.” So both of them are, at least partially, willingly going along with these time-wasting shenanigans while the villain is likely getting out of tracking range.
Just as well this is a comedy then.
Plus in this comic talking is a free action, so they can have as much banter as they like, without it having serious ramifications for their mission.
Although you do raise good points that Maxima may raise in a later debriefing. But Dave has already shown us one of those, so we may skip that, unless he has something funny or interesting to raise, at that time.
Yeah, and just what unit were you in that taught “How To React When All Your Clothes Have Been Blown Off Leaving You Unharmed But Naked”?
ARCHON, clearly. Common superhero occurrence, anon-kun.
No no, didn’t ask what unit they were in, asked what unit you were in
The other problem with your complaint, Spamotron, is that DaveB writes this comic with “talking is a free action”. So in this case, the seconds don’t count.
Excellent point :). Plus this was funny anyway.
+1 for each of you.
And a yummy doggy treat for everyones favorite doggo! :D
Yummy, yummy, yummy!
*wags tail enthusiastically*
Question for Dave – You said a few pages ago that you would be tagging only the characters that have speaking parts, but in this one you tagged Halo. Is that only for the pages that are too busy?
Thanks!
I think he meant characters that have speaking parts in the comic, not on one specific page. So Halo (who does quite a lot of speaking in the rest of the comic) still gets an entry on this page’s “Who’s Who”.
No, it is about the individual pages. Usually.
Maybe he put Halo in because he focused on making her expression SO expressive in panels 1 & 2. That is definitely some SERIOUS non-verbal communication she is doing right there.
Nicely said. And true as well. The speaking rule is mainly aimed at new characters, whilst they are just background characters. They do not get a Who’s Who entry to avoid spoilers that might ruin their introduction, or make the readers view the character differently to Halo’s perspective.
Likewise if there is a crowd scene, such as the council chamber, it would be impractical to list everyone present.
Beyond those situations though, Dave has indicated, in the past, that the ‘speaking’ rule also allows for those who play a significant part in the scene. Halo’s expressions are both prominent and speak volumes. I have quoted her in several analysis about the interplays present in this scene!
As far as “self control” is concerned as Max put it. I really think Hiro shouldn’t get too much grief here. I think anyone would have a difficult time staying relaxed when pressed up against a mostly naked golden goddess. And with the slab of concrete it’s not like he isn’t trying, just failing in a very human and understandable way. I can see Dabbler wanting a full size shot of panel 5 on a t-shirt.
Personally believe that is simply Maxi being shocked and slash or surprised, not angry
Agreed. Maxima does not have enough experience with handling tricky emotional intimate issues, at a personal level, so is drawing from a limited toolbox of responses. Of which an angry-looking response is her usual go-to solution, to dealing with unwanted attention. Even though her actual emotions will be a lot more complex in this situation.
This is a serious career problem for Maxima actually. She is at a point where her lack of a partner, or spouse, will be viewed with suspicion when it comes to potential promotions. Precisely because of the limited experience in dealing with relationship matters. More normally being a lack of empathy for personnel with family issues (for example), but having implications for a lot of other areas too.
Having a spouse might make it easier breaking through the glass ceiling. It is weaker than concrete, for a start!
and if Max pushed Hiro away… hard enough… It’d take them a few days to find him embeded into a mountain a few miles off, possibly.
Yes pleeeeease
Maxima, please stop shaming the young man. As my dear friend and professional cuddler Sam Hess would say, it’s simply a “natural reaction.”
Admittedly, her comment is a bit harsh. Given the situation of having just been mesmerized, nearly blood harvested, blown up and losing 80% of her clothes, it’s understandable she might be a bit snippy, but yes the current direction is not great.
In the same way that Hiro’s ‘Concrete Buster’ move is a ‘natural reaction’, so too is Maxi’s reaction to that move
HAH. :) Nothing I can really add, except…well done, Anvil. *Golf-Clap of Serious Approval. With White Gloves On.*
as we have just seen the top of every body, Max reaction may be not induced by a superboner, but by his hands straying too near “off limits parts” of Max lower body.
after all he was holding a slab of concrete over his abdomen before this “warm friendly embrace” by Anvil. Even trying to get them out of that zone could induce reaction.
Without any hold the contrete slab will fall, prompting intimate contact and reflex boner too.
has the chopper any camera? It may be mandatory for replay analysis of ARC SWAT actions; and there will be a hard struggle between Dabbler and Max over the future of this video ^^
Dave’s blog, above, gives us the clue that it was Hiro’s concrete penetrating ability which elicited Maxima’s surprised reaction.
*replace “his hands” in first sentence by Hiro’s hand for comprehension’s sake
Have we met? Your face looks familiar.
Honestly, the verbal gymnastics SJWs have to do to express the obvious…
Well when the obvious flies over the heads of some people, you got to do something to correct the trajectory and stick the landing.
I think you are mixing up your enemies.
That is the “I make certain not to say someting ambigious, so Prydonian has nothing to blow out of proportion” Enemy.
Not the “I hat assholes regardless of gender, nationality and orientation” enemy.
Must be really hard to keep all those terms for your enemies straight, if you 99% of the Population are 1-10 of them ;)
While I am fully in the camp against SJWs (and their right-wing equivalents), mostly for their abuse of the cause and victimization of people who suffer from the real social issues many SJWs just play at…
I don’t get what you’re on about. What’s going on here that is SJW explaining? What required this exact post?
As I said: He mixed up Enemy Types. And propably not for the first time.
If you hate people explaining stuff that you can not twist into a made up attack.
And hate people of opposing Opinion (regardless what that Opinion is today).
That can propably happen easily. I can not say certainly, I do not think I ever had that problem.
And now I suddenly have dialogue from Ford Fairlane running through my head:
“Down Stanley!”
“Stanley?”
“You know…like, the *power drill*.”
So, it is basically like the Barberian and Dabbler. And the chair.
Not a judge in the world would convict him… :-)
May be not, butt, will there be enough pieces of him big enough for a military funeral? o_O
there is ALWAYS “enough” there for a Military funeral… bags of cement are available everywhere…
Good point
don’t think vaporization leaves any pieces
“I was having self-control, Colonel… All the self-control in the world wouldn’t have helped here, sir.” (Or does she prefer “ma’am”?)
Since they’re in the U.S. Military… it’ll be “Ma’am”
You know, Hiro’s probably being literal in the last panel. This is probably less than a minute after that intensely hot explosion, so Maxima’s skin is probably still emitting quite a bit of excess heat. Probably around 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit between them, right now…
Hopefully this is not the case as it has been put out there repeatedly that Anvil is not resistant to those temperatures. I can’t imagine that even if she was seriously interested in hooking these two up that she would grin while hugging the equivalent of the inside of an oven.
Is it just me or does anvils face look really weird and scrunched up in the last panel?
I was thinking the same thing. She looks “off-model” here when compared to her masthead thumbnail. I like the thumbnail look a lot better.
Try mischievios kitty face or as someone else indicated troll face for rule of funny use
Not just the last panel, but all the panels she is in, it’s like the last couple pages were drawn by someone entirely else, even if DaveB hadn’t drawn her in years (just how long ago was the Restaurant Rumble in real time?) he should still have easy(er) access to old files and character model mock-ups, not to mention, the current invotive is still recognisably the Kenya we are familiar with
And here I thought Anivl was much more prudish… cheeky woman.
….then it hit me like an……. Anvil?
Anvil is shipping these two!!
Anvil is indeed trying to anchor Maxima down with a fellow. Acting on impulse here, in hoping that Maxima is secretly looking for a Hiro.
One thing need to point out: Hiro would not be ‘poking‘ a hole through the concrete unless he is hung like one of those old overweight men at a nudist camp (where their dick resembles a savaloy or cocktail wiener wearing a sweater), and not the bull elephant as envisioned by Sydney, it would be hanging down even ‘at ease’, and when it ‘stands to attention’ it would carve through the slab like a light sabre through a Tauntaun’s belly!!
Or simply displacing the concrete upward as it rises. Maxine can feel… something… sliding up betwixt her thighs. Sort of a tickle?
Kenya Erectile Function Removal Service, 100% service Guaranteed.
that would be Dis-function Removal Service to be specific…
Well the function that Hiro was attempting on the last page was that of preventing a response. So your first answer actually covers that. Albeit that the second is correct as to the normal meaning.
Oh, that’s just mean.
The ‘near and the naked’ aspect has already been beaten to death. I want to ask about the art ‘style’ for Anvil. I’ve always liked the way Anvil looked in earlier episodes and her ‘caption box’ cameos… this one, she’s got a widely different nose — literally. Just ‘a different art style’ or are we seeing ‘creator’s license’ in changing her in some fashion?
Several have been asking that, and most have not been liking the ‘new Anvil’
Have ‘some’ self-control? Does she not understand what self control is? Did she not see the poor man -CRYING- with the effort to restrain himself a moment ago? That he’s holding concrete over his junk, which, even if invulnerable, cannot be comfortable in ANY way, entirely for her benefit and sense of decency?
Like, damn. Hiro’s a great guy, went the extra mile to try and make sure she’s not uncomfortable with him pointing the ol’ invulnerable arrow at her because he has no choice but to find her attractive. And still gets scolded for having no self control after his dick punches a hole through concrete?
I have zero interest in this man’s junk and even I’D be flattered to know concrete was not strong enough to dampen reactions to my good looks. Poor man tries hard, does better than most of the planet would be able to, and still gets told he’s not trying. That’s an insult.
Maxima is not really mad at him. It is just her way of blowing off steam. Both Hiro and Anvil know that, so they are
completelyemotionally relaxed.This reminds me a lot of Crush’s super inappropriate work relationship with Xane. Which is alternately funny and horrifying, really.
Hmm… Crush and Xane should totes make a guest appearance and compare bicep measurements with Anvil…
Anvil is sooooo evil right now. I absolutely love her for it >.<
Heh, speaking of Anvil: just found the perfect song for her :D
anvil’s face looks really weird here. maybe just me, but i can’t stop staring. it’s creepin me out
That appears to be the common reaction
I dreamt that Anvil got a big bobble-head, like the phase Sydney and Krona went through!
