Grrl Power #787 – Going outcognito
Sydney is going to find it’s increasingly difficult to go anywhere anonymously. Also, if they’re trying to get into a nightclub, putting already-young-looking Sydney in twintails may not be tactically advisable.
Harem really can steal anything, so long as she can touch it and it’s under her fairly restrictive weight limit. (It’s like 1/5-ish of her body weight – considering she’s a lean, if slightly tall and muscular woman, it’s works out to like 25 pounds. ) She’s hardly unique in this regard when it comes to teleporters. She’s slightly better than Nightcrawler though. She can’t move as much weight as him, and she makes a loud noise when she teleports, but she doesn’t leave a nasty smell behind. Unless she had been making out with a guy wearing Axe Body Spray. Hah, I kid, she would never do that.
I haven’t figured out why punk-Harem-in-a-wig and co-ed Harem are wearing the same dress. Maybe she was adjusting the hem and using herself as the dressing mannequin. And had two of the same dress for some reason.
Harem’s apparel budget must be astronomical. Obviously she can share outfits between herselves, she’s all the same size. (Supers don’t gain body fat in the Grrl-verse, but if she really wanted to, she could put muscle on one of herselves. She doesn’t want to. I’m just saying it’s possible.) Still, when Harem does laundry, you know that panty clothesline thing they do in animes? It’s like 500 feet long. Happosai loses his god-damned mind on Harem’s panty-line day.

"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’m hoping some idiot purse snatcher tries to make off with Sydney’s purse. He gets about 10 feet or so and then the purse yanks him off his feet. Dazed, he looks up to see several ArcSwat ladies holding a flailing limbed Sydney back as she unleashes a nuclear swear-storm capable of melting rebar embedded in concrete.
Ohhhh, that would be epic in a ratzenfratzen kind of way!
I would love to see that, except for the fact that would totally blow their cover…
Well if it happened towards the end of the night, after they’ve left the clubs because of some jerks, this would work.
Especially if the ladies have some anger and frustration to get out of their systems.
The purse snatcher would probably faint within seconds, yet that would be perfect.
The jerks who bothers ArcSwat ladies could quickly find themselves stuffed a toilet in a club.
Sydney can control the positions of her orbs while they’re near her.
“To me my pretties!”
Purse jumps to her hand like Thor’s hammer.
I am picturing this:
Panel 1: Mugger grabbing purse
Panel 2: Mugger “tripped” by taking purse too far from Sydney
Panel 3: Mugger on ground
Panel 4: [Mugger POV] Sydney standing over him
Panel 5: Cut to Sydney/Maxima in meeting room. Maxima “Sydney, didn’t I point out not to use your powers on normal street crime?” Sydney “He was trying to mug me”
Panel 6: Maxima “He is suing ARCSWAT for police brutality”. Sydney “I was defending myself from the mugger”
Panel 7: Maxima “His statement is that -sigh- ‘Halo relentlessly attacked my balls with her balls'”
It wouldn’t be her primary target. Remember she has to hold onto the orbs. She’d probably beat him silly with the handbag without revealing the orbs.
She doesn’t have to hold onto the balls to control their position is space, though
They go to sleep if she doesn’t use them for a while and they’re not in orbit.
They go to sleep but they’re still tethered to her and can’t be moved beyond a certain distance from her. Even when they, or she, are ‘asleep.’
…And a quick poke woke them up, so they weren’t “sleeping” for long…
But if they’re sleeping she’s not going to be able to control their position in space. And it’s unclear if her poking the bag they’re in would wake them.
Even when they were ‘sleeping’ they were still tethered to her anyway. When they were in Tubey in the beginning, you see her unable to move from them, and Maxima was unable to pull them away from her. :) All that happened BEFORE she ‘woke them up’ during the Archon interview.
Remember Shadowy Crushed-Nuts? Sydney wasn’t holding her balls when she crushed his
Butt you are correct that she would simply pummel him with her ball-sack rather than reveal her identity
I actually love every example of your hypothetical panels.
A proper classic Sydney moment.
I want it to happen!
A literal version of Mugging the Monster!
Varia: Hey, bozo! I guess it is not obvious, but about half of us are cops! The other half are training to be cops. Oh, yeah,a couple of us are in intelligence, like and CIA, but way better. The CIA and NSF with they had our skills. They can really mess your life up.
Harem: So, idiot. You are under arrest for theft, even if you didn’t get very far with what you stole. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say may be recorded and used as evidence against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and to have that lawyer with you during any questioning. If you can not afford an attorney, the court may appoint a lawyer for you at no additional cost to you. Do you understand these rights as I have stated them?
Harem (different body, simultaneous with the one above): I’ve checked in with Maxima. I am guess we don’t actually have jurisdiction as this guy does not seem to have any powers. We should call the local cops.
Krona: Ok, there’s a police car coming down the road; be here in less than a minute. I’ll go flag them down.
Hmm, how can what was stolen get collected for evidence in this case?
Not seeing that at all.
This should be Scarlett’s bailiwick.
As the rest of the girls move off, a little Vampiric gaze.
A little Vampiric suggestion.
The next morning our undiscerning miscreants have no memory of what they did the night before, how they got home…or where their clothing and house keys are.
You’re making me think of the intro to “Robocop 3.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaUqdIFUbxE
We’ve already had at least one “Mugging the Monster” moment:
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-694-threat-underwhelming/
They’re best done sparingly, or they get old.
Then again, they are beautiful when done well :)
And another one in Sydney’s backstory where she was accused of assault against the guy that tried to mug her. “Oh the humanity!”
“Picked the wrong diner.”
Godspeed GSgt. Ermey.
Another thought on this:
Sydney (trying to charge the suspect, but is held back by other members of the party) : Serves you right, you puss-filled malignant zit on the ass of the world! I am going to pop you so much when I get over there!
Scarlet (holding Sydney’s left arm): Make sure she doesn’t breathe on you!
Olivia (holding Sydney’s right arm): I know! Who would have thought she could eat the most ghost-pepper poppers in that contest?
Specs (holding Sydney’s waist): I am sure she cost them more than the entry fee in food alone, and she won the prize money.
Olivia: Yeah, but most of the other people ate less than three, so their entry fees made up for it.
He could just say that he as hoping for one of her Atomic tongue hand jobs (or she could trademark it as the Atomic Bank job after its first iteration).
As far as Punk Harem and Coed Harem wearing the same dress, maybe this is a previously unrevealed ability of Daphne’s to Voorp-Swap bodies while leaving her clothing in place.
That would be 1 heck of a party trick! Just line up 2+ Harem, then have them teleport-swap clothes. For extra points, add in a shuffle game with a piece of hidden clothing…
Aaargh! Help! Cute overload!
Pink, however, isn’t really “Redhead” – a true carrot top should have hair that looks like fire, not donut icing.
Peach is a common stand-in in modern anime but that’s not exactly pink, either.
Or Salmon
I’m guessing pink falls into strawberry blonde subgenere of hair color categories?
Usually, yes.
Glad I’m not the only one who went
“as a WHAThead???”
When dealing with unnatural hair colours, I find it best to just name the colour, (“pinkhead” in this case). Sure there isn’t as much long-established precedent, but no one’s confused by you calling it a different colour, everyone knows exactly what you mean… and no readers are wondering if Sidney just revealed that she’s been colourblind all this time… or that DaveB is.
Or calling a colour that is clearly purple ‘red’
I wonder how nobody commented on the added freckles yet. Harem really means it when she says “makeover” – makeup included. I didn’t notice them at first either, but they definitely go well with the hair.
I don’t bother with wallpapers, 99% of time my entire desktop is covered by something more useful. If panel 7 was available in wallpaper format, I think I’d make an exception. Totally worth it for those few seconds after boot.
Daphne always wanted a younger sister :D
Although, Sydney is actually older, she still seems the little sister type.
She is sooooooooooo cute!
Panel 7 looks remarkably like Huckleberry Ann by Jay Naylor.
Careful looking that up, it’s NSFW, plus most of his characters are furries…..
I can see it. Though Ann had much longer and larger pigtails.
True, but the eyes are spot on………….
Thankfully, that’s where the resemblance ends and Syd doesn’t share any of Ann’s “other” traits……..
I mean, she has been very friendly with a furry recently.
Yes, she definitely has. But she has none of Ann’s ‘assets’, lol.
Well…Sydney already had that kind of experience so….
Naw brother, look up Huckleberry Ann, she’s more like Dabbler than Syd.
Hah, she kind of does.
I thought the trick is to give a blonde heroine a blond wig so others think she is not blonde? Or am I overthinking it?
And Sydney, just keep your mouth closed and nobody will recognize you. :P
That only works on someone who already expects some kind of trickery. Most people won’t search for a wig or think she is just any girl who wants to try a different look. No deep thinking needed, there are enough of those around.
The hero would need a new brain to like, not sound Blonde.
Today I learned I’m inot twintails…
pfffftt who am I kidding, if you have a pulse you’re into twintails, fact.
There’s something weird going on with the noses in this page
How many of Harem’s dups are going to this?
No more than three: one has to remain On Duty, and the last one is either sleeping or ‘sleeping’ with SmugD
Hmm, there are at least four shown on this page though…
There’s also three Sydneys. I’d guess that some of the Harems could be reused if we’re going to be reusing Sydney, too. Sure, they’re in different clothes. But somewhere, Harem has a bunch of clothes stored on mannequins. She’s VORP-changing her clothes at the same time as she’s VORP-changing Sydney’s clothes. Only two Harems required.
There arent at least 4 most likely. Because one of the Harems is ALWAYS supposed to be in uniform. So probably more like 3 (plus the one in the wig who isnt doing anything).
Check the hair of the Daphne’s in the make-over panel, if that isn’t enough to convince you, also check out what they are wearing
Four different hairstyles, and at least three different outfits (can’t see what Gothamer is wearing)
Fairly sure even the one On Duty can spare a few seconds to mess with Sydney’s hair (the disembodied arms at the end), she just can’t join them properly
The one on duty is supposed to be in uniform at all times though, so…. none of the Harems here are in uniform. Therefore there couldnt be four.
Also I did look at the hairstyles. There arent four different ones. There are three. #2 and #4 are the same hairstyle.
Also VORP Harem #1 is the one in the wig (white haired Harem).
Oh wait no, White haired harem is NOT the one in the wig. Different lipstick color. They just both have the same dress for some reason.
So there’s:
White haired Harem in red dress (Vorp#1)
Blonde Harem (Vorp #2 and #4)
Bangs Harem (#Vorp #3)
And then there’s purple lipstick black wig red dress Harem (no Vorp).
So yeah I’m right. 3 vorped Harems, not four. Presumably the last one is in uniform on duty.
No, the hair of 2 and 4 is different
And there are still four Daphne’s shown on this page
No, seriously take a good look. The hair in #2 and #4 are the same. And the clothes are also the same.
There are THREE Daphnes on the page (plus the one in the black wig), offscreen.
Am I the only one who thinks she looks a little creepy like that? Though it could be the blonde eyebrows peeking out that is bugging me the most.
Lots of people have hair and facial hard that is different colors. Isn’t that creepy unless it is really odd, like clear yes you can have hair that is clear my eye brows go from light blonde to clear, my dad’s are clear not which doesn’t match is black hair.
Not really, pink isn’t a natural color on humans, seen plenty of people with dyed blue or green hair who don’t color their eyebrows too.
Yes but it’s rarely shown quite this blatantly. Or paired with such giant eyes.
I think it’s the eyes that really bother me here, as they’re a lot more out of place with her newer, smaller and more realistic hair. Not to mention that the rest of the page has her somewhat squinting for maximum wide-eyed impact on that panel.
Her eyes should technically be smaller since they aren’t being enlarged by the glasses. But I suspect Dave is exploiting the large eye cute effect. Manga and anime do this all the time to make characters look cuter. Yes things look cuter with large eyes.
Her eyes aren’t big because of the glasses, they never have been, she has been shown several times without her glasses and her eyes remained the same size
Sydney is missing her glasses post-makeover.
Wouldn’t be a good disguise if she was still wearing those things
Part of the make-over was putting in her contact lenses.
a) Harem may be pickpocket +1000, but expecting her to have contact lenses with the right parameters ready to apply is seriously stretching it (on top of what you need for glasses, you have to account for eye shape and size too)
b) putting in contact lenses is definitely NOT something you want to allow other people to do as a surprise (or ever, really)
Art error or Harem stole them without replacement and she didn’t notice yet. Her prescription is not that strong if I remember it right. Maybe she’ll decide to cope with a blurry vision for a while. Women sometimes do strange things for the looks.
Harem probably “vorp”-d to Syd’s room and picked up her contacts between styling her hair and replacing her top. Doesn’t take a lot of time when you can be anywhere pretty much instantly.
Sydney doesn’t have contacts, her prescription isn’t strong enough really need them
Yup, the only Harem in a position to insert contacts is holding a pencil to put on the fake freckles.
“This is real life, not Skyrim”
‘Yeah? Well I bet an arrow to the knee would still crimp your game.”
Why would her proposing to someone crimp her game?
If you had ever read “Wapsi Square”, you wouldn’t find that arrow joke to be funny: one of the characters was shot in the knee, from behind, by a crossbow bolt, then brutally raped to death, then her remains were put into an indestructible golem, this scene predated Skyrim by a few years
So yeah, let’s have a good laugh about taking an arrow to the knee
That was random, dark, and completely irrelevant.
Should we be more respectful with our pop cultural references because a cartoonist wrote about something bad happening to a non-existant fictional character in his own webcomic that has no relation whatsoever to this one?
The point is, getting sick of that damn crappy non-joke from a shitty game
Well Aussies as a people mocked a family for decades whose child was seized and eaten by the local Australian fauna. There is no limit to what people will find hilarious.
What about her glasses? Doesn’t she need them to you know, see?
Her vision is impaired, but not to the point of “help, I’m blind”. I myself could probably go out without glasses (at -8D) and still survive and not get hit by a car. Normally I’d say contacts are an option too, but this looks more like Harem just stole them without replacement “in the name of fashion”, as Sydney still had her glasses at the top 3 frames.
Heck, before my cataract surgery I was 20-450, would have been legally blind if it wasn’t correctable. And I didn’t run into things… much.
But people with bad vision are fairly reluctant to go around without correction, just because you feel naked somehow, and it’s not fun walking through a blurry world.
I *can* see without my glasses to where I probably wouldn’t get killed by a car (or defend myself using magical flying orbs), but at 20-2000-ish it’s not great. I can’t drive, can’t read anything more than a few inches away (font depending), and interacting with a group of strange people in a strange location I couldn’t see properly would be an exercise in frustration and annoyance. Where are the exits? Where’s the bathroom? Is this a cool venue, ’cause all I see are dark blurs against flashing coloured lights?
On the plus side, I did once read some microfilm without equipment. Being so nearsighted that you can focus on things an inch from your eye does have a few advantages, it’s just the not being able to focus on anything further than 4 inches away part that’s a pain.
The previous replies pretty much cover the question. Take my glasses and I would be okay in a fight. But don’t ask me to identify anyone as all faces turn into blurs. And heaven help me if I have to find a door in an unfamiliar place.
I’ve got near perfect sight… in one eye. The other is so short sighted it can’t read size 48 Arial font from six inches away. I’m too sensitive for contacts and could never pull off the monacle look (one day…), so wear glasses. But, without them I can see and legally drive …
Does the lack of depth perception really not make that big a difference?
Depth perception via binocular vision is somewhat inaccurate, especially as distances increase. At longer ranges, apparent size of the object and comparison to other objects makes up the major parts of how we judge distance.
The bigger issue would be the possible lack of peripheral vision on one side. While such vision is never as clear as direct vision, such strong short-sight would probably render anything seen on that side as a vague nothingness.
IIRC, Halo’s farsighted, not nearsighted. Her glasses barely even have a prescription because she only uses them for reading.
I’m 20/400 w-o glasses, but I can still shoot and drive without them, just don’t ask me to read street signs, or do friend-or-foe simulations, or real life combat shooting. I can hit my target, I just can’t identify what is a target and what isn’t a target.
What about Olivia, won’t she give Sydney away?
They are ‘hiding’ from the public, not each other
It’s really only Sydney and Harem who need to conceal themselves. Maybe Pixel if they were being a bit more serious but Pixel isn’t frontlines and well known. They’re only trying to fool the general public… but seriously, they have a reality hacker who has shown the ability to change hair colour together with an apprentice mage who should know a few illusions. Surely they can whip something up better than a wig… although it probably sets her up to be confused as Pixel’s sister.
Huh, I guess the training montage really did work, because Sidney is looking really damn buff for an indoor nerd who has spent, what, less than a month doing regular PT?
She’s 20 something. At that age, exercise works really fast, especially if it’s being delivered in industrial quantities by a drill Sargent, so you can’t be lazy about it. And she never had much body fat, so naturally she’s going to have excellent definition for whatever muscle she does have.
My wife is a 5 foot nothing, 80 lb soaking wet filipina, and she’s got the same build as Sydney.
Just because she’s ‘an indoor nerd’ doesn’t mean she never goes out, she does work and fairly sure there was mention of a gym once (before her balls showed up anyway)
Some people just have a good metabolism: personally haven’t exercised (apart from a monthly {or sooner} trip into town, lifting a few heavy boxes occasionally) and certainly don’t eat ‘healthily’, butt can still wear the same school uniform from thirty years ago
makeover mugging style :D
*Looks around* where’s Yorp? I thought Yorp would be loving this. Unless the pup is laying dazed in a pool of their own drool…
He’s going incognito. Harem put a pink wig on him too.
Ah, the ol’ poodle disguise, huh?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfsa-Kx0XTo
Somehow avoided all the trailers for that movie, but now I’m kinda interested.
Don’t forget the sequel
« We’re going anon »… somewhere, Arianna is turning around in her sleep ^^
At least Daphne doesn’t leave the smell of rotting eggs each time… well, not unless she’s eaten too much roughage :P
What happened to Tubey?
Not really very inconspicuous when clubbing
Butt I you meant in general? Haven’t seen them since the Restaurant Rumble
Don’t worry Tubey, Syd may be going out with that purse this time*, but you will always be her first.
*Although I hope not: given Sydney’s tomboy mentality I can’t see her lasting an evening with that monstrosity. She’d probably leave it behind forgetting it was hers — “I’d never own anything like that,” — which would result in a giveaway scene like at the bank robbery. A drawstring backpack would be much more fitting.
If she’s going to be doing this regularly, a large pony tail with orb pockets in it as part of her wig would work.
But considering the circles she runs in now, shouldn’t she be able to get an invisible fanny pack?
It’s interesting to see that Harem removed her shirt, as in, she actually took it off Sydney the conventional way before “Vorping” it away.
This leads me to believe that there must be a certain degree of detachment from other things for Harem to “Vorp” it away. Not only detachment but possibly not touching anything else solid to any serious degree.
So obviously she can’t grab someone and teleport away with 25lb of flesh for a kill move . But presumably she also can’t teleport a gun away while a combatant is still gripping it, or possibly even a hat until she removed it from the head first. Which raises the question, what if someone got a hold of Harem or an item on her? Could she teleport away while someone was gripping her wrist? What if they were gripping her gun or top? Could she teleport away with them or without them? (I.E. can she teleport directly out of her clothes?).
Seeing Horse always makes me smile :D
Thanks for addressing this – I was thinking the same thing. WoD here is “anything she can touch that’s under her weight limit”, but we see the shirt yoinked first. Which is probably no mean feat with an unsuspecting / un-assitive subject – as is getting another one on the traditional way. If she could vorp one onto the body directly, that’d be quite a trick too; probably off a mannequin and making only minor adjustments with her teleport sense, doubt she can unfold it at the same time.
The only other clothes-swap reference I recall is the restaurant battle, when she told Goose to put his arms up before dropping and strapping his armored vest.
My guess is Dave’s comment under the comic is technically correct, but there are *issues* with her doing that, so she doesn’t do it if she doesn’t need to. The fact that she doesn’t teleport things with too much contact with someone else doesn’t really indicate whether the penalty for going up to the limit of what Dave said she could do despite contact is for her, the other person in contact with the thing, or the structural integrity of the thing. It could be any combination of the three, really. All we know is it’s something she wants to avoid.
Wow way to do it. Or maybe this is what she is assumes a smash cut is in real life
I would feel sorry for the jerks, getting stuffed in a toilet at a bar after bothering the ladies is not a fun way to end a night.
Sometimes you have fun, sometimes the fun have you.
I am confused or my eyeballs are getting worse (which wouldn’t surprise me as one is already on the blink), but since when is a pink hair do a redhead?
Pink is a shade of red
What gets me, is when people call someone with orange hair a ‘redhead’
There was literally no word for “orange” until people in Northern Europe saw oranges. A lot of old names for people and things call them “red”. It’s the same in Scandinavian languages – an explorer was called Leif the Red. And in Irish, a fox is sometimes called a red dog.
But I agree that she’s pink, not a red head.
Pink is just Red-Lite =P
“It’s not pink, it’s lightish red.”
“There is a word for that. It’s called….pink…”
Kudos to anyone who gets where that’s from. Daniel the Human introduced me to the series…
The quote seems familiar, just not sure where from… :(
Red Vs Blue’s Donut was always in lightish red armour…
https://youtu.be/AX5jkjku_V8?t=50
Need to find more… :)
I’m really glad that you were able to teach me that fact about the word orange :). I don’t know why but it’s something I did not know before and I find it to be incredibly cool knowledge.
To wit we see robins as having orange chest feathers, but there is an old song that calls one Robin Red-breast
want to know something really weird.
Orange is a shade of brown.
Or to be more precise, brown is a shadow of orange.
So if you had orange hair you’d be a brunette.
Or you would be Pink Alice.
Which would get me confused stares on another forum, but probably only an eyeroll on a nerd site.
Strawberry blonde is the usual term for hair that shade.
Hmm don’t know about that, strawberry blonde comes out a lot darker and more into the almost light brunette with dash of ginger I always thought. I have two nieces and the eldest one is classed as Strawberry blonde where as the younger one is straight up ginger. But given how weird the hair ranges are these days for just red alone its hard to pin it down. I just stick to my light brown with a shed load of grey streaks (I actually have the Mr Fantastic strips of it down both sides which is funny).
Strawberry blonde has a really impressive amount of range. It’s basically a mix of anything (very slightly ginger to quite ginger) and anything (peroxide blonde to dirty blonde). I have read the claim that rusty brown hair has about the same amount of range, but since it’s a mix of anything (very slightly ginger to quite ginger) and anything (very dirty blonde to dark brown), it’s not as apparent. I’m not sure I believe that. I think I’ve seen about a dozen shades of rusty brown, and over a hundred shades of strawberry blonde.
Lol that Ranma reference, I can just imagine it!
Right now Sydney looks like utterly kawaii anime waifu material! She might even get hit on by somebody at the bar!
She is SO going to be carded, looking like that.
I worked in a quikee mart for a few years, and I’ve met 14 year old’s who look almost in their 30’s and 45 year old’s who look 16.
A good bouncer cards everyone.
Red head? She looks more like what some call a pinkette.
I prefer the term ‘rosecrown’ for a pink-haired lass.
I’m honestly really happy you can still see the bra straps, mostly because it makes it obvious a good deal of women’s “fashionable” clothing isn’t for women who wear normal goddamn bras.
The real question of course is: How long before her bangs break free?
It looks like the pink hair is a wig that Daphne/Harem put on Sydney ~ so unless said wig come loose enough, I’d say it seems unlikely that Sydney’s dangling bangs would “break free”.
One problem with Harem’s master makeover. How’s Sydney going to see without her glasses. I know she’s not blind as a bat, but she’s probably not functional ether…. speaking of…. since she’s rich now, why not just get lasik at that point. Heck, the military would pay for it anyway just so she wouldn’t be a liability.
She just got back from outer space a few days ago.
Time in this webcomic runs slow.
A pity she didn’t think to ask if space Lasik was available.
Actually, wouldn’t that sort of vision correction normally be a benefit of working at Archon? To eliminate the risk of getting your glasses knocked off? Of course, it’s not going to happen for plot reasons, the glasses are part of her character.
I tried for Lasik, and didn’t qualify, on account of the fact that my corneas were too thin to allow the necessary degree of correction. So that could be an excuse, though I had other options that I just couldn’t afford, and she certainly could.
Mind, at this point in the story she hasn’t had time to get her vision corrected, even if it’s going to happen.
Military paid for two of my sisters, so considering how robust Archon’s health plan has to be it must be covered. That’s especially so when you consider the ramifications of someone who can cut a tank in half missing because of vision problems.
The military bought your sisters? Did they pay top dollar or a group discount for taken them both? o_O
Actually, she is functional without her glasses. If I remember correctly, she’s farsighted and only needs her glasses for reading. (Of course, there’s a chance I could be wrong.)
What a haul! What a haul!
Seriously though, Happosai Vs Math, who would get distracted by boobs first?
And we all know that Happosai would have Maths beaten on the ‘spy on girls in the shower’ thing.
Unfortunately, With people like Harem and Maxima, Happi would never be able to get away.
Happosai has techniques that would be a problem even for Maxima. His dimensional cloak, for instance.
You counting on the reflectivity of her skin or her relative modesty (compared to mush of the rest of the team) to somehow prevent him being distracted? – his only defense would be avoiding her (and every other member of the team with breasts) – you think he could do it?
It’s the same dress, but in a different color offcourse. We women tend to do that, if we really like a certain cut.
There’s and old saying (but it applies to guys too if they wear an odd size) “If the shoe fits, buy it in every color.”
Is it just me, or are Syndey’s eyes firmly in the uncanny valley when they’re open that wide?
It’s not just you.
For Halloween she dressed up as “Alita: Battle Angel.”
I find it funny how many people complained about her eyes in that movie. I had the opposite affect (probably thanks to watching so much anime and cartoons in my lifetime) that when she was talking on screen and they’d cut back to a regular human I thought their eyes looked so tiny and weird.
Indeed. Alita’s eyes were much bigger in the manga. Compared to that, movie Alita’s eyes completely normal. though all versions of Alita are super cute.
There are a -lot- of different things going on with Sydney’s face in this comic.
Can’t say I like the way her mouth looks in panel 7.
It took me a few seconds to realize her mouth was open, thought her tongue was a heavily painted lower lip like Harem had gone full on Jessica Rabbit with the make up.
Could use some teeth and eyes that aren’t dimensional locked to the elemental plane of uguu.
Then you are reading the wrong webcomic, that is the way it was introduced.
Even then I doubt you would hear the VORP with level 1000 pickpocketing. At that level you could steal an entire apartment complex using heavy equipment Carmen Sandiago style and no one would notice even afterwards.
Harem has 100 pickpocket skill
Omg we need Sydney to start dyeing her hair this color from now on she is soooo adorable as a redhead! Also we need a hi Rez pic of the panel!!!
might get mistaken for Pixel if she does.
not likely pixel has a tan while sydney is pale as pale can be
