Grrl Power #716 – Emboldened Sydney is bold
One last trip to the medbay before getting home. Hopefully. This is Syndey we’re talking about here.
She really did get stabbed in the ear. Not like, the eardrum, just the “root of the helix” or “forward helix” which is the little flap on the inside loop above the ear canal. That’s not a very good description. Just look at the first panel. Some people get their ears pierced there. Sydney doesn’t have her ears pierced, so I guess she didn’t feel like using Altus’s horn stab as a starter hole.
Anyway, yeah, Sydney’s adventure in space has emboldened her. We’ll have to wait and see if this is a temporary state of affairs, like people going a little crazy on vacation, or if her self confidence has permanently leveled up.

"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.
They do make a cute couple…
OMG what a horn dog
[Offset Crank]:
Well, he DOES look somewhat canine/lupine…
…& there DO appear to be horns on his head…
…& he would APPEAR to have a tongue that would do a “Pierson’s Puppeteer” proud…
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierson%27s_Puppeteers]
I totally ship it!
On a ship, no less.
Hahaha 6″ sub lol.
Methinks that Frix’s free sub is much larger than six inches ;)
at least a footlong
Definitely. Also non human, so there’s that Dabbler merit badge out of the way
If Friday is a six inch sub does that mean Sydney is a 4”5 dom?
Dabbles will be completely scandalized!
I’m willing to bet Frix is very well acquainted with Xuriel…..
And quite terrified of her “appetites” as well…
[G.M. Simpson]:
Dabbler? … Scandalized?
Don’t be silly!
She’ll be 1st-in-line to offer “hi-fives”, & to pester Syd for juicy, salacious details!
On the flip-side, if Dabbler’s feeling competitive (or just teasing), she could go a whole different route:
DABBLER: “Frix? — Oh, YEAH! HE’S the one I was talking about in the SHOWER, when we were discussing hard-bodies-with-fur! How WAS that wiley-coyote dog, anyhow? Does he still do that wild thing with his tongue in your …”
SYD: “BEEP!-BEEP!-BEEP!-BEEP!-BEEP! TMI! TMI! TMI-LIMIT has been exceeded! You’ve just lost access-privileges to any further details!”
Has he put her off humans for life?
[Francisco]:
Well, you know what ‘they’ say:
“Once you ‘Go Fur’,
then, ‘Go Baldy’? — No Sir!”
Damn!
Okay, “cunning linguist” much?, i think Frix just made Syd’s ovaries explode
I’ll say…From the look at panel three, Frix reminds me of what it’s like when ducks mate.
…Yeah, go look it up. I dare you.
I did look it up. I shouldn’t have.
I don’t need to look. I recently attended a session of Biology on Tap in February and the subject was about courtship and sexual behavior among various beasts. They did indeed show a picture of a duck’s penis unfurling.
I have been to the Icelandic Phallological Museum in Reykjavik.
You cannot scare me with a duck’s dong, for I have seen not only that duck’s dong, but I have also seen man, MANY, MANY SQUIDGELY THINGS IN JARS!! *ahem*
Also, at least one peeled and preserved leather peen hide that would’ve made a perfect plaston (a vaguely triangular piece of stiffened fabric that filled the front of women’s bodices during certain eras of fashion, mostly during the 14th and 19th centuries, but also occasionally a piece of armor for covering the torso).
(…That’s one major item crossed off my bucket list!)
I’ll say…From the look of panel 3, Frix reminds me of what happens when ducks mate.
Yeah, if you don’t know already, go look it up. I dare you.
6in seems to be a bit small. Why not go for the whole foot long?
Also seems that Sydney is really loosening up no how about relaxing yes it is really starting to relax among the crew.
But he wasn’t “doing that with his tongue” anymore. Why did he mispronounce it? (Apart from the practical reason, of course)
Maybe it takes a bit to “reset”?
,
“just the “root of the helix” or “forward helix” which is the little flap on the inside loop above the ear canal. That’s not a very good description”
Tragus – you’re describing the tragus of the ear, and a piercing there is cryptically called a tragus piercing
That was just Dave’s clever way of getting around the censors.
He’s not human. He probably said the Woofian version of the word.
He a mawg. He part man and part dog. He his own best friend.
I choose to believe that’s his actual name, and that’s why he hasn’t told anyone.
I so very much want this to be the reason.
You know? You said it, now I cannot unsee it…
To me it read like he was just following his train of thought like “I wonder what funny sounds it would make if I pronounced it the way I just talked…”
We don’t know he wasn’t doing that with his tongue anymore. :P
How do we know? His mouth was closed
3 trips to the med bay and you get a free 6 inch sub. Bit of a downgrade, I thought she had a foot long the first trip?
difference between 1st panel and others: Sydney is wearing “Halo” choker.
No, she’s wearing it full-time. It appears to disappear only in the right light…
It disappears when she takes off her uniform. I conclude it is the 1st panel that is is error.
If you compare the first panel in this page to the first panel in page 703, it appears Dave copied it from 703 to 716 and then edited it, her hair is in EXACTLY the same place in both panels. I believe he forgot to remove the choker in page 716.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-703-in-space-no-one-can-hear-you-canoodle/
Interestingly enough, she’s only wearing the choker in the first panel on page 703 as well…
perhaps that what her last orb does. the orb of “choker hiding” :P
Would be easier to just draw that panel fresh, considering how many things are different
It’s a common art-error
Love the forth panel.
What does Frix say in the last panel?
I think he says cunnilingus…
Cunning linguist.
She seems to have fallen in love with him… err.. his tongue.
Kinda lingers.
Bunny Ringlets
funny sprinkles
honey penguins
That grin, though. Heh.
Which one?
I wonder if it will work out, he ends up on Earth
I do hope Syd gets her second date before arriving on Earth.
Addiction incoming. Soon, Sydney will be saying, “You don’t understand, Colonel, I…. I gotta get my Frix….”
That made me groan.
lol, made me smile…
Sydney has developed a Frixation.
That Frix is not for kids…
actually with the right intervention, i beg to differ
Pssst… Her collar seems to have vanished mysteriously after the first panel?
Actually, scrolling back through the strips, it looks like she hasn’t had it on for a while, so the first panel is the anomaly.
Panel reuse by the artist. The last time it appeared was when Syd was getting her cheek fixed. Page #703.
That Grinch grin, though… Dang, Sydney. Your face is gonna stick like that.
Yeah, i was going to comment about that too. :D
Yay! I’m not the only who thought that. I guess it’s a terribly awfully *naughty* thought? heeheehee
Like I said before, she’ll be emboldened probably right up to the point where Dabbler starts pressing her for all the juicy details on her adventure.
More like Dabbler will ask for juicy details, and Sydney will reply with, “Wouldn’t you like to know!”
Dabbler probably has some spells that work well for mind-reading…
So the Vulcan mind meld, then? That only requires two hands. I wonder if Dabbler’s mind meld has a 4-handed version…
“What are you… HEY, STOP GETTING EXCITED! THIS ISN’T DENIAL PLAY!”
Y’know only now that it’s confirmed she got stabbed do I notice the blood on her shirt from the previous page.
Emboldened Sydney is bold.
But is she… BOLD?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfBr5l4S63Q
But that’s not bold either, only capitalized.
THIS is bold.
Frix must be part Jagger because I can’t understand a single word that he is saying. If that’s the case then he should be thrown out the airlock because Jaggers and their master only cause chaos.

Jaegermonsters have thick accents but not that kind of speech impediment.
Looks like Frix can’t talk properly,imagine if he spoke like…Ozzy Osbourne!?!?
Then, we’d know his home planet had a Birmingham.
Next week:
At Norad: “Sir, an Australian astronomer has detected an inbound asteroid near the orbit of Saturn. Not near Saturn itself, but at that distance, coming in from Ursa Minor.”
“That’s neat and all, but what does that have to do with us?”
“The discoverer reported that the asteroid is moving at 15% light-speed and heading towards the sun. A radio telescope outside Perth, Australia determined it is moving at 12% c and will miss the Earth by about a million kilometers. A South African observatory measured it going at 0.1 c and figures it may smack into the moon. We’re waiting for results from Greenbelt, Maryland, as they rotated into view less than an hour ago.”
“Well, if it really is slowing down, then we should alert Archon and the Council.”
“Which council, sir?”
“Above your security clearance. Never mind. If it is not slowing down, but those speed changes are the result of better imaging and calculations, it is some natural rogue and we alert Archon, as this would definitely count as an extraordinary threat.”
“Sir, results from Greenbelt. 8% light-speed and they estimate at this rate of deceleration, this time tomorrow, it will be about here,” [Points at the floor] “give or take a thousand miles.”
“When can we get radar on it?”
“At this rate, our systems should start resolving it in a couple of hours. Apparently, it shines on radar like 170 tons of iron.”
“An extinction-level object and we have essentially nothing to stop it other than good wishes. Once we get eyes on it, I want to know which air-traffic control we get to call to tell them to open a diagonal corridor. I sure hope that FAA gets to handle this and not FEMA.”
“You think it slowing down is signs of intelligence?”
“I sure hope so. Coming closer to the sun, it should be speeding up, not slowing down.”
“Sir, Greenbelt just reported that the object disappeared from radio astronomy.”
“Good, that means they finally turned on their stealth. They must not realize how good our astronomers have become lately. We’ll let NASA do the standard, ‘it smacked a carbon asteroid and is no longer a threat,’ thing. No need to panic the public.”
“Should we still contact Archon sir?”
“Oh, definitely. I’ll be in my office making some calls. Make sure I am not disturbed.”
Appreciate the Goddard Space Flight Center shout out.
I goofed. In my first draft, I had them coming out of Leo, not Ursa Major, but I did not know where Saturn was at the time, so I changed it so they were nowhere close to Saturn, but in the process, I changed the ship’s course coming from a constellation not visible from Australia and South Africa! I should have left well enough alone and stuck with Leo. :(
Yeah, that ship is coming in along the plane of the planets, or close to it, based on the conversation. Besides Ursa Major is always visible from Maryland, well except when the nearby sun is overwhelming the faint signals from those stars.
The best part about all this is that when she finally gets debriefed on Earth, of all the crazy thing done by her since cut off from them, they’re totally going to be accepting of all the huge revelations like alari planet destroyed and Halo kicking ass, but loudly doubt her having a one night stand with an alien after the way she treated Dabbler.
I thought Sydney has ALREADY been….Debriefed. Heh-heh……. (chirping Crickets)
She was wearing a rather cute pair of briefs I thought….
Panties that cling to Sydney seductively when thoughly soaked.
…Take that statement however you will…
*cough*
Hah, cunning-ling-Woof, more like. He knew what he was showing off.
Also, panel 4 is my new favorite Sydney face. Possibly because it’s a toned-down Grinch smile.
http://grinchmania.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/smile.jpg
Well killing a giant world ending monster and getting some… endorphins released… tends to have a positive effect on a person’s confidence.
This..has probably been asked before buuut, I’m noticing a distinct lack of glasses…did our medical doctor do a bit of space lasik? On. Madame Scoville? Or?
In one of the earlier comics I think before her fiery use of the restroom you see her glasses being rebuilt on a mass fabricator, so she likely hasn’t picked up her new ones yet. Also I think she only needs them for driving.
The reverse is the case. Sydney is hyperopic (and generally hyper in general). At her age, probably not yet presbiopic. I wonder if Frix has any Retinax 5 in the med bay?
Yes, butt is she Presbyterian? Or maybe a pre-bi-terran? ;)
Actually, I believe she’s Batmanarian.
After all, she does get quite upset, to the point where she accidentally blasphemes:
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-400-holy-blasphemy-batman/
When last seen replacements were being fabricated.
We’re all expecting Night Vision and Smart Apps… would virtually unbreakable
but in every other aspect plain generic eyewear be funnier?
Considering whose making them, they may have blasters built in.
Considering who is making them they may have some extra fun functions built in.
IF Sydney has to wear spex then couldn’t she get better frames? Like jayessell ‘s suggestions kinda like 12th Docs Sonic Sunglasses. It would be cool to see Sydney get sexy by SsssLooowly taking off her glasses.
Either way, when Dabbler meets Sydney on her return, she’ll take one look and KNOW what Sydneys been up ..… or Into.
I expect that when Sydney and Dabbler meets, Dabbler will take one look at Sydney, show surprise for just a moment, then give her a high-five…
…and say, “I see you met Doctor (tongue goes all weird) Fwikalishis.”
I believe that is “what’s been into Sydney”.
Don’tcha mean what’s been into Sydney?
Okay… I’ll say it…
It seems like Frix ‘ties’ Sydney up in ‘knots’….
I think Sydney is deliberately finding ways to visit the med bay…
I just noticed that Frix has ears that look like webbed feet! Neat!
Just curious does anyone else think Frix looks regretful or something negative in the last panel…?
Nah, just the woof equivalent of a human smirk.
That was my first reaction.
i do need to comment on the new art style; its not my favorite for the core subjects…. it looks to plasticky, gumby, shiny like the folks are made of gloss paint. I dont have a word for it but things like her eye ball looking like it belongs on a pitchers mound kinda sucks the enjoyment of the art right out of the comic.
hmm and the audience might need to collectively take a cold shower. its a bloody comic not a porn flick; calm down.
What is the timeline so far? is this still in the first week?
well, the day of a super is packed with stuff
up to page 294 it’s only the very first DAY of the story, including the bank, the press, the restaurant parking fight with the other supers
then it’s the second day until page 385, mostly equipment, debriefing, conference, partying at night
then, third day until page 532, it include actual training, construction work on the destructed parking lot, meeting with Deus, council fight, tracking “half a head” Sciona and letting her escape
then, page 533 starts with a “that stuff happened several nights ago” and it was about a week since day 1
that last until page 587 with pool party and the whole vault robbery thing, end of “week+1 day”
then we get week+2 until page 666, with Sciona x Deus, the chase, the teleportation to ruined planet and Sidney left behind and Dabbler making cookies to symbolize a new day
Sidney continue to fight against the big aliens and skip a night sleep, then lvl up enough to causeway out of there to space station, until she end the day in her quarters in the spaceship on page 711
here we are now, page 716, it should be officially day “week+4” at this point of the comic
lots of stuff happen in a mere 11 days
I think for the first time we get a second page based off an idea in a previous page.
Today’s is from the dialog in the last two panels
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-56-and-that-would-explain-why/
This one is has a mini-comic from the mini-comic
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-176-pose-dramatically-much/
And for good measure this is a second reference based on the second mini-comic
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-180-seek-the-lee-of-the-damage-magnet/
Only a 6 inch? Poor Sydney.
Why poor Sydney? A six-inch “sub” is the average for adult males, in part because that is the the average size for the corresponding female part.
Nice to imagine that Sydney taught Frixie a new word (or maybe even a new application for his dextrous tongue ;))
I dunno, but it seems Fris is a bit… disappointed, sad in the lastpanel
Well, Sydney is almost home and there is no guarantee that they will ever meet again.
I mean she has a means to communicate (Dabs) and a casual means of getting literally anywhere in the galaxy in a few minutes. So…yeah…about as easy as long distance is likely to get.
As much as I like Frix, I am opposed to the relationship because I am already shipping her with Leon and don’t want to rewrite my fan-fic……..
Unless, polygamy is a thing in Frix’s culture and women can have multiple husbands………..
I am no longer opposed to their relationship.
But what about Barkley and Trent?
Sydney hasn’t matured enough to settle on one guy yet anyway. Her inattentiveness and melodrama would destroy a relationship at this point.
Women with multiple husbands is called polyandry.
No, polyandry is when there are both multiple males and multiple females.
You’re welcome for the correction. It was big o’ me.
No. That’s Polygamy.
Polyandry is where there is 1 wife and multiple husbands.
Polygyny is where there is 1 husband and multiple wives.
I vote for more Sydney and Frix.
Ok, what is with the weird accent he has in this page? He was talking ‘normally’ before, and he was still talking funny AFTER he showed her the tongue technique….. I wrote that wrong….
Because he kept his tongue twisted in the last panel
Perhaps it takes a while to untwist a Woof tongue.
Maybe the wind changed and his tongue is now stuck that way :P
It was conjectured earlier that panel six might be his actual name.
Its not, its his twisty tongue trying to say Cunnilingus. The act of stimulating a woman’s genitals with one’s mouth and tongue.
