Grrl Power #592 – Funhouse funbags
I know I mentioned possibly not posting a page over Xmas, but I went ahead and did it anyway, so if you missed it, pop back one and catch up!
For the record, Maxima mostly thinks it was funny when she punched Dabbler through the wall. Not when she got manhandled. Or, womanhandled. Succubushandled. She does objectively understand that having a squishy mirror-like surface would be fun to play with. She’s not so much of a grouch that she doesn’t see the appeal. If she had a regular lover, she’d be totally okay with him doing stuff like that. To a point. Not like, jumping out from behind the fridge and doing it, but you know, if they’re already fooling around or in the shower together.
I’m sure lots of adults use baby powder for a variety of things that don’t include stripping, and some probably even have baby powder scented deoderant and whatever. Maxima clearly has some associations with it she doesn’t care for. Although come to think of it, I’m not sure when she would have actually spent enough time around strippers to audit their average scent. For instance, she’s never had a sister who was killed while working as a stripper, naturally necessitating her to go undercover as a stripper at that very same club.
I’ve been sitting on this funhouse mirror gag since before I started the comic. Somewhere in a pile of papers, I have a version of this page penciled out that’s at least 7 years old. I’m sure it’ll show up in one of those mythical books of the comic I keep alluding to but never have time to run a kickstarter for.
I had always intended on drawing Maxima a lot shinier than I do, but it turns out rendering her like an Alex Ross Iron Man is rather time-consuming, and as good as I want the art in the comic to be, it’s still a comic and keeping a schedule is more important than making every page a perfect render. A “good enough” render has to do until I magically figure out a way to suddenly draw faster.
Speaking of which, this is the page I talked about when I said I tried doing a page without inking it first. I think it came out pretty good, but the technique is not a time saver for me. At least, not yet.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. $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.
Wow, a nipple! Progress!
You sure? I was initially thinking that, but based on Maxima’s shoulder it seems to me like it is further to the side than these things are usually depicted. And that doesn’t fit the “all superheroines are human ideals of beauty and fitness” theme we’ve so far seen.
Where?..
Panel three, right above the towel.
That’s the danger of trying to environment map a shiny woman. I’m not sure what I was coloring in there, probably some purple from Dabbler. But there’s no nipple, at least not an intentional one.
Although, looking at the page now, there probably should be some nipple visible given how much boob meat is spilling over that towel. That’s the disadvantage of not having time to draw the occasional smutty picture. I’m out of practice.
In hindsight, I got to thinking, that nipple’d be twisted around a bit. Oh well. Thanks anyway, Dave!
Nah, just went back to check and that’s a point-on image of her lower left horn, as evidenced by the glare-like ear fluff visible above.
Nope, not the horn, that is the ear piercing.
Eh, a tight towel like that would pull things down a bit and change the arc of her boobs so the nipple position would seem off compared to the curvature.
Daniel the Human pulled me out of my hypnotic staring at the “nipple” by pointing out it was just a reflection. Pretty quick too. He can be a party pooper at times…
Mind you, I’m wondering how badly hurt Dabbler was after that punch, if it was hard enough to turn her peach-coloured…..panties?… into a red colour. Was there bleeding due to the impact? Lighting? Or just a slight mix-up?
Still loving the comic either way. Been reading for a good while, probably gonna be reading for a good while longer… :)
Does Dabbler bleed red? We have seen Maxima has blue blood (clearly she must be a royal elven princess).
I don’t recall seeing Dabbler bleed yet. Thanks to Achilles.
You stopped your archive trawl a few pages too early. Dabbler has bled before when fighting Heavenly Sword
Blink!
should have blinked faster
She bleeds red blood.
Ahh, you are right, that I was looking for that. I thought she had been cut in that fight, but assumed I was mistaken, when I saw Achilles doing his thing.
Odd that the human has blue blood and the purple & blue skinned alien has red.
I guess contrasting blood to skin colour does give an evolutionary advantage. Handy for spotting and treating a wound.
Also useful for readers to see it too.
Well elven princess might be a bit more likely than her being a (to humans) unusually attractive lobster, spider or snail.
So putting Vance down in the blue blood group too eh?
Doppler shift?
Ahh, doppleganger shapeshited flesh panties? Makes sense!
Maybe it’s the Dabbler-shift. She shifted from a standing position into becoming a wall-hanging.
Okay, seriously though…
I think it’s just a shift in the environmental lighting…Dabbler might be in a slightly lower-lighting condition compared to where she was standing with Max. With less light, pink appears to be more reddish.
Found it!
Though I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the reflection of a doorbell, given how hard it s to make out
Twist, it’s actually the reflection of her left nipple. Too many mirrored surfaces.
Its a shower knob, you can see the shower head next to it.
also, it looks flat
No-nip argument: In panel two she’s clearly standing in a door frame with no door visible on her left side, making the position of a door on her right side.
Pro-nip rebuttal: Isn’t the doorknob a bit high to be reflecting from her boob mid-point? You’d expect a normal height door handle to reflect from the underboob instead.
could just be a water droplet
Took me a moment those were the blue tile reflections and not some weird bruising, well done.
Yeah, I didn’t get that until I went back and looked at the art again.
Who thinks that this webcomic should start been nicknamed; SFW Nudity: Pushed To The Limit!
Or perhaps: “Superheroines in the shower”
Tickle fights, anybody?
Is there a term for half of a hemisphere?
There should be a two eyed Dabbler face on each.
Tetartosphere? (Assuming we stick with greek)
…
…
Heh, Tit-tart-o-spheres.
Assuming you still have your Christmas tree handy, find a silver sphere
ornament and make a silly face in it.
The convex surface causes reflected images to look smaller.
Your entire face should occupy a tenth of the sphere’s surface
‘Quadrant’ is the usual term, IIRC.
The first version of the reflection in the boobs had Dabbler reflected in each boob, and again on her upper chest, but all the eyes and teeth made it look more eldritch horror than funny back of spoon face.
Suddenly I want to see that.
+1
Yeop.
*shiver goes down spine*
*ears perk up*
Me too. Can we see it?
Will we see panel 8 up top in the mugshot lineup?
or even the right side of panel 7. That’d be a funny one to have out of context.
… now I have a picture of Dabbler flipping a coin yea or nay on whether to keep her tougue studs in before making that try[Happy New Year, everyone !]…
Okay, so is that supposed to be a nipple? Or is it a mistake and a coincidence?
Evidence of mistake:
This comic has always been very clearly “Rated PG-13 for cheese/beefcake, rated R for Sydney’s dirty mouth.”
The placement of the nipple would put it angled on like the side of her boob.
While the areola and nipple look convincing, even with their position they would have at least some protuberance, and while the shading makes them look slightly 3D, the breast itself is still ‘smooth’ with no change in shape.
Evidence of nipple:
It really fucking looks like a nipple.
I mean, MAYBE Dave had some object in the room in mind that is supposed to be reflected off of Max’s shiny fun bags, maybe even as a slight hint to how Dabbler was about to get ‘distracted’, and it never occurred to him that other people might think this reflected object looks so much like a nipple that it’s impossible to even guess what else he had in mind. MAYBE all that’s possible and it is just a massive coincidence and oversight that allowed a nipple into the comic. Or maybe he was hoping he could claim that as reasonable negligence for slipping a nipple into an otherwise ‘non-nudity’ comic.
Or maybe he just wanted to give us a Maxima nipple for Christmas.
In my opinion too far at the side to be a nipple. This would also be the first occurance of Escher girls in the comic.
Reflective surface… it’s a doorknob reflected.
Now I want to see a Maxima cosplay with a Dabbler face bodypaint.
This will probably never happen, but I can still dream.
Dabbler, panel 9, wetness levels: ludicrously dangerous.
Said she: “DAMN, girl! If that’s your foreplay, can’t WAIT for the sex to begin!”
Panels 7 and 8 made me laugh so hard! Her face looks so absurd! And almost terrifying! And “blobble yobble yobble”! Omg!
panel 5 : “I have gazed upon the perfection of Nirvana itself and I …..”
panel 6 : “The Globes! The hypnotizing, radiant, golden Globes of Infinite Reflection!”
panel 7 : * The EXACT face she makes every time she goes down on someone. Really: that’s the last thing everyone sees as Dabbler dives between their legs.
panel 8 : * And the Abyss gazed back. *
I am now wondering if Dabbler can hypnotize herself in a mirror, Accidentally.
Like a family-unfriendly Marigold Heavenly Nostrils from “Phoebe and Her Unicorn.”
Dabbler doing a cat dragon impression in a pair of boobies. Wasn’t expecting that!
(What was the dragon’s name from How to Train your Dragon?)
Toothless
Unlike Dabbler, who managed to keep most of her dentition, despite going into a wall.
Placing a bet here that the ‘nip slip’ in panel 3 is a reflection of something in the room and placement/shape was unintentional. A that DaveB didn’t even realize it until someone else pointed it out.
As to how Maxima has the association of baby powder and strippers: she’s ex-military, and judging from that one panel way back where she was hitting the keg (flying upside down) with a bunch of other military types around her, pretty close to a number of them. There’s better than even odds that she was dragged to a strip joint at least once to celebrate someone turning 21 or decided she had to go to ‘keep an eye’ on her co-workers when they planned to get drunk and stupid. Or met the stripper one of her co-workers was ‘dating’ at the time… (Former Navy so experience with more than one of those options.)
And now I once again find myself facing the harsh daylight of reality, having successfully spelunked the adventure filled cave of the archives. I find myself feeling strangely empty, knowing that I cannot simply hit next, the adventure to continue it’s breakneck pace, my face pained from laughter. But it is a feeling I have overcome before and will again.
Awesome work Mr. Barrack. Grrl Power has found a treasured place amongst my bookmarks.
Also, Max may use any one of a number of standard powder makeup foundations, or she could use simple talcum powder, the key ingredient of baby powder.
Also I have heard that women will sometimes comb baby powder through their hair to get rid of any greasy look, should they find themselves in need to look presentable but lack sufficient time to shower.
Dabblers double globular holy grail is so polished that it made her reflect her demise.
Maxima, that was battery.
Self defense against someone who just did sexually assault them.
Frankly, Dabbler seems like a rape just waiting to happen, considering how little she cares about boundaries, and how her powers work.
Actually, i gorget, but just what happened with Jabberwocky?
With as much power and training as Maxima has, it is difficult for her to claim self defense in this incident.
Not really. Dabbler is one of the few she has had to fight all out to defeat…
…which is probably why Dabbler is so enamoured with Maxima.
IIRC Jabberwocky got hit with a treatable mind-control spell of some sort in a situation where shooting her in the head would have been a proportional use of force.
Pretty much the only time when I don’t have a problem with mind control.
Yeah, i remember that, just not if Dabbler did anything more with her.
Because if Dabbler did do anything with someone under her spell, well, we get potentially into rape territory.
Not as far as we’ve seen on screen, at least. They’re still trying to figure out how the supposedly temporary infatuation got stuck, and how to remove it, but Dabbler’s been specifically ordered not to test whether satisfying Jabberwocky works until all other options have been exhausted.
Yeah, she reminds me (in instances like this) of Eros (Star Fox), the brother of Thanos no one ever talks about; when he joined the Avengers. Among his usual power set of super strength, durability and such was a pheromone power that made people fall for him. He was flirty and had no qualms about using his power when his personality was for *deflective of his intended love interest* than attractive. Which landed him in hot water, and legal hotwater at that with fellow Avengers, especially She-Hulk.
Also property damage.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
*hic*
Great, now Maxima has killed Sydney. Would they put “laughed herself to death” on a tombstone?
I have once or twice laughed so hard and long that I reached a point where I felt as though I couldn’t breathe and my ribs hurt for a while afterwards. At the moment I don’t recall whether it was from watching a friend take an egregious pratfall or watching Tim Conway crack up Carol and Harvey.
I believe there were a few cases where people actually died laughing, but that probably takes some additional problems. The Fatal Hilarity article on wikipedia has more information on that.
There was a fan of British (1970s) comedy show ‘The Goodies’ who did so while watching them on TV, but he did have known underlying problems with heart &/or lungs. His widow wrote the Goodies a nice letter saying that it was how he’d have wanted to go.
‘Nuff said.
Yes, it is possible to say too much, or even to read it.
in panel 8, that towel looks low enough that there should be some aureole showing…
hmmmmmmmmmmm does maxima’s aureole’s match her skin tone so they blend together?? poor girl.
Yeah, I haven’t actually drawn any nude ladies in long enough that I’m forgetting the fundamentals.
Will you do something about that? ;p
I could go for that idea…After all, Deviant Art has little problem with nudie pics; to view them, just register & log in, then check your account settings to shut off the “NSFW filter.”
Actually if we take a hop over to Dave’s deviant art page, we can see a fully nude Max. We can see them, but they’re rather small. Maybe the towel just wasn’t pulled down enough?
OK,first, this is almost starting to reach NSFW levels.
Second, that’s a very big and specific phrase to put in a top.
And third, that’s one big and thick tear.
The phrase on the top is a very nerdish play on a common meme. Those can get quite long, depending on the size of the quoted equation :P
As for the tear, I think that’s just an anime riff, like the “awkward sweatdrop”
Actually the phrase is based on a song that later became a meme (or the other way around, IDK).
Yeah, that seems to take a lot of words that could have been said more simply with “All Hail Hypno-Boobs” with a picture of Hypnotoad.
With the eyes right over the boobs!
Has Dabbler recovered or is she still out of it???
She was booted out to report to Arc-Light.
The only reason Maxima feels safe showering.
This page was brilliant. And reflective.
A shining example or Maxima in the buff.
We got all the comedy gold we can grab here.
I have often wondered about some white rouge and a buffer….
Much of what Dabbler has done up until now has been sexual harassment. Dabblers is smart and observant, she knows the rules, but it must have been interesting explaining to her the first time what sexual harassment is, I don’t think succubi would actually have it. Is it possible to sexually harass a Succubi? As it is, Dabber probably gets a lot of leeway simply because she’s a succubus.
At its core, sexual harassment is unwanted advances… I’m SURE there’s a situation in which a succubus wouldn’t want sex, just like there are situations where a human would say “I appreciate that you’re offering my a 5 course meal, but I don’t want any right now.”
She’s part succubus AND alien. That’s so many layers of culturally removed blue and orange morality.
It’s possible to sexually harass anybody. I’d imagine succubi are culturally less inclined to decline advances, though… and their whole culture seems based on making as many advances as possible to as many people as possible. It may be such a rarity in their circles that they might not have a word for it.
Dabbler: “I know the English words ‘sexual’ and ‘harassment’
but when you say them together it’s just gibberish.”
I thought this was a Barney-ism (or would be for ‘too much’ and ‘sex’) however… it doesn’t Google.
At. All.
What’s up with that??
“Is it possible to sexually harass a Succubi? ”
Jabberwocky may soon find out.
Well humans can be killed from drinking too much water, breathing too much oxygen or eating too much chocolate (if you are nearing a table-full you are in severe danger)!
I daresay even succubi have a safe consumption limit.
Which brings up the question: is there a succubus equivalent to obesity, diabetes, and other diseases related to overeating?
I doubt it. I would think for your typical Succubi, any type of sexual harassment for us humans would just be considered foreplay to them.
For Dabbler it is fourplay (see panel 7).
Actually that could also be construed as Dabbler adding the “Fun” to colorful euphemism, “Funbags”. I mean she is playing with them like a fun house mirror after all..
So Max’s damage resistance is flexible rather than rigid. Now all she needs is a lad who won’t get squished by her Kegel muscles.
which is likely Hiro. he IS one of the few guys she respects and there is some notable attraction there (not to mention Anvil’s already shipping them).
If there’s one thing I wasn’t expecting today, it was Maxima’s boobs reflecting Dabbler’s face via Mercator projection.
Mercator approved…
Dabbler is an interesting puzzle for a(n ethical) military operation. She is clearly preying upon the troops (in multiple senses of the term) and creating a toxic environment (for at least a couple of folks). On the other hand, she is too useful and dangerous an asset to allow (literally) into other hands. If she is this much trouble for Maxima, imagine what she would be like with a less capable Colonel in charge.
Sydney herself is a similar problem, except that her antics are (mostly) unintentional. Despite her intellect, her mental issues combined with her power level and undeveloped impulse control make her almost as dangerous to her team or fellow trainees (or entire base) as she is to any enemy.
Maxima has a rough assignment. Although she isn’t handling it perfectly, she is probably doing better than General Hedaya would himself.
Sydney is a problem that can, presumably, be fixed through medication, training and possibly therapy.
Dabbler, not so much.
In a more realistic story, Dabbler would bring up lot of questions about just how ethical the military is going to be in the face of how useful Dabbler is (i suspect, not very).
I don’t think so.
Everyone on the team, or at least the people she propositioned, know what’s going to happen if they have sex with her.(Namely, getting drained.)
She made it pretty clear that Succubi aren’t a fan of rape, or fuzzy consent. Which is probably why she hasn’t “drained” Jabberwock while she’s still under the influence of magic.
She does tease an awful lot, and it borders on sexual harassment with Max, but nothing too major so far.
Trouble is that any species that exudes a mind-altering influence can’t have anything BUT fuzzy consent. The only way for a person to genuinely consent around Dabs would be if they were immune to her hypnoboobs. You see something similar with the White Court in the Dresden Files novels; people who have the ability to override someone else’s decision over whether or not they consent.
Hmm, there is a tricky (grey) area if her influence is a passive empathic influence, where she can only push emotions that would already be there, but not outright control them or insert new emotions and thoughts. Basically making impulses and emotions hidden under the surface stronger and more dominant.
problem is that comes to a cultural and moral issue of just how much of our actions can be accepted as driven by those emotions and the unnatural means in which they were amplified, after all everyone has a passive aggressive thought here and there, but someone like Vehemence for instance making that passive thought of *I bet I could run that guy on the bike over with my car who is taking up traffic* into a real uninhibited action.-inverse possibility someone can have that thought, but not really feel that way so an empathic influence would be shaken off; but many people it wouldn’t.
Basically comes down to, what constitutes a (true) emotion and control vs the influence pushing those specific emotions from an outside party.
Of course she can turn it off. Otherwise most of the team would be in a constant trance.
Her regular succubus arua is just a passive: “ultra-attractive”. Which she can turn the dual up to
Indeed. Dabbler specifically indicated that she ‘never goes below a 10’. Implying that she may be able to (for instance if the guest of honour at a slave auction and not wishing to be bought by Comix guy). But, rather like we have just learnt that Maxima can lower her default power levels, I imagine it would take concentration on Dabbler’s part to do so.
Whereas cranking it up, above 10, is as easy as turning the dial up.
: “Literal Hypno-Boobs”
And, as far as the Canon has told us, her raw physical appearance is so attractive it can even really be called deciet or lying either.(No ones gonna wake up next to Dabbler and suddenly find her horrifying.)
Well Sydney found her horrifying (or frightening) enough, the first time she saw her true form, to instantly attack her with a chair!
Fair enough.
It was also kind of an “ooga booga booga” moment for her. She wasn’t expecting her to suddenly have four arms, be purple, and have horns, no idea her hologram projecting orb could also see through illusions.
Which I personally found funny as it reminded me of ElHazard (every human who went there got a superpower, but only one guy got a big obvious power *enhanced physiology*) the others got powers that were situationally specific, one of which was auto-sight against illusions as it were, they simply didn’t work, not a hint there was an illusion either, just saw things normal, so it wasn’t discovered till she pointed out someone had blue skin that the others around her weren’t seeing that.
which would suck as a real power, especially if people had you convinced you were seeing hallucinations as no one else saw them until it was too late.
I think the General’s last name is Faulk. But I know who you mean, so good choice of wrong name!
It was an intentional play Dan Hedaya is the actor who Dave used as the reference for drawing General Faulk.
And all this time, I though he was modelled after a young(ish) Peter Falk. No wonder he never had one more question for Sydney during the interview scene.
And no trenchcoat.
Okay, this was amazing. Nicely done, DaveB
SNERK!!!
That was so good. Yes, I did laugh. Thankfully not like Sydney – but I am sure to her it was SNORT worthy. Way to go Max.
I definitely take precautions whenever I look here for a new update. I make sure that I’ve swallowed any food or drink before the page loads. I make sure I’ve got folded towels & pillows scattered on the floor around my chair, so that I don’t crack my skull open on furniture or the hardwood floor if I should fall out of the chair.
…Precautions such as these have saved my life numerous times already…
+1
You forgot to lay out ninja defenses though!
At the very least you need a mirror.
did she hit dabbler so hard her panties changed color? also its odd and nice to see maxima is still squishy in the places she should be.
Maxima hit her so hard the light refracting from Dabbler’s panties has begun to redshift.
Dabble does not appear to have a tail on her tail end showing through the wall. A minor distraction compared to the golden globes but still a matter to be rect.. okay sorry about the pun ahead of time… rectified.
She never had a tail on her tail end. Not this version of her anyways. Just pure succubus posterior.
mostly because if she had her tail back, she’s also have her second pair of hypnoboobs back…and not even Max would be able to resist that ;)
Dabbler looks sexier and sexier with each new page. I am in awe of the improvements in general over the artwork.
Also, of the things to do with shiny boobs, making faces was not one of the things I thought of. I’ll make that my priority.
Well, it’s something to remember if you ever find a set of shiny boobs in the future…I wonder if it would make a good pick-up line?
Dammit, I have a meeting in 20 minutes and I can’t stop laughing.
OMG… It was hard to stifle my laughter from this page. Once Dabbler made the face it started, but then seeing the outcome and Sydney laughing, made it even harder not to just bust out laughing. Had to contain myself to not draw attention to this borderline NSFW page. Nicely done though Dave. Also, don’t forget to keep practicing with the naked lady drawing in case we have any future pages which might contain nip slips. ;)
I now have my own “peep quest.”
“The ashes of people who annoy me.” I believe I could die happy if I knew THAT is where my ashes would end up.
Yeah that might not be such a deterrent.
Jesus Christ, Dave, I don’t think you can top that one for a while…fucking dying over here
Panel eight and nine are both among Daves best.
So how come Dabbler’s facing towards Maxima pre-punch, but away from Maxima post-punch? Subconscious succubus fourth-wall awareness?
On the subject of other occupations that use baby powder. Lots of factory and construction workers use it. During the summer you get hot and sweaty so chaffing become a problem that the powder can help prevent.
Oh boy. I had pretty much the same reaction as Sydney, even whilst thinking the things that Maxima was saying.
But that panel 8. That has got to go down as one of the most iconic panels in comedy comic history!
I think this was the first time a non succubi entranced a succubi with their boobs.
Albeit in a sort of non sexual way, which I’m not sure if that’s more surprising or less surprising.
huh. Oddly she is considerably more endowed there than I thought.
She must have gone to McDonalds and told them to ‘supersize me’!
I just go to Tim Hortons, I walk in without any cups, and walk out with a DD cup.
Impressive chat up lines. Unless you are just buying a bra.
Tim Hortons sells coffee. they always mark your Double Double with 2 D’s.
Sydney, is that really you? Not just a look-alike? Pleased that you are trying to cut down on your morning coffee though.
Goddess of glorious golden globes and glutes, damn Maxima is one sexy being. :o It’s too bad she’s fictional, and I’m an out of shape woman in training with no super powers but the ability to digest lactose as an adult*. Also, she’s fictional.
Finally, Halo collapsing into a fit of shameless, unrestrained laughter is so wonderfully her. She’s become a little . . . pretty lately, see the vote incentive, and I don’t think it really fits her. Over the top expressions to an almost toonish degree are more her thing.
*The majority of adult humans on the planet can not, therefore it’s a superpower.
I used to be able to digest lactose, until earlier this year. My 87-year-old mother still can!
Lactose intolerance is very dependent on your place of origin. In the U.S., only about 25% become lactose intolerant… and most of those 25% are of Asian, African American, or Native American descent.
Rates elsewhere vary, but the worldwide average is 75%.
So, like I said, superpower. Specifically, I’m a mutant.
There are a lot of us around.
*gets into Cerebro and scans the planet*
Wow, about eight billion, just amongst humans.
*glares suspiciously at one individual*
I wonder why he isn’t?
“mutant” means “changed”. Changed from what, exactly? That guy! He’s the only human left.
People cease to be human, if they have a mutant version of any DNA? That would mean they would not be protected by human rights laws. Nor any law which stipulates that it is only relevant to people. There are different laws for animals you see.
Does this mean I am allowed to bite postmen? They are not listed as a protected animal species.
*wags tail eagerly*
Since there’s no “definition” of the exact DNA sequences that are “human”, we’re really all mutants. some mutations occurred in one of our parents before they knocked boots, or as embroyos worship the god Meiosis, or are inherited from previous ancestors where the mutation first occurred. Individually and as a species, we are a polyglot of praise to Darwin, each uniquely, but somehow compatibly. Really, it’s less amazing that we’re all mutants than it is that we’re actually able interbreed across the entire planet.
I think pretty much everyone is a mutant now, humans died off when the Aztec calendar stopped.
(yes, kidding)
That would be an interesting premise.
