Grrl Power #831 – (Not a) Date night
Clearly, Maxima’s idea of evening gowns is influenced by the last time she wore a fancy dress, which was probably her high school prom. My original pencils for panel 5 included something on the back of her waist which was either going to be a giant bow or a big ruffly flower. I ditched it because, well, I didn’t want to spend time drawing all the ruffles, but also because Maxima may not be able to conjure the image of a sleek elegant evening gown off the top of her head, but she knows the difference between that and a quinceanera dress. Honestly I don’t know how manga artists deal with drawing all those ruffle trimmed French Maid outfits. It’s so tedious.
Do hispanic Jewish girls get a bat mitzvah and a quinceanera? That seems like a decent scam, or it would be if you got to chose your gender, race and religion when you’re filling out your player sheet. You know, the one you fill out before you’re born? I assume that’s how it works.

I wonder if there are areas where Lorlara is MORE pleasant than her Earth equivalents…
*Dialing noises*
“FOOL!”
“…Yes, hello Lorlara.”
“Our electronic surveillance indicates that you have ‘the sniffles’!”
“…You read my twitter?”
“Stay home and recuperate, you idiot! Being at less than 100% capacity is an insult to the company! And so is spreading contagion!”
“OK, so do I -”
“Your pay remains undiminished! Your new job duties is caring for your frail Earthling body!”
“…You are SUCH a Tsundere.”
I give her props for maintaining pay. after all the us business community once had the signs- ‘If you won’t show up on Sunday, don’t come in Monday.’
some businesses (esp. the small ones) still HAVE those signs. They can’t afford NOT to.
One of our nurses was doing his 9th shift in a row, and was (not unsurprisingly) ‘feeling unwell’. We all get temperature checked before starting our shift, but we were getting him to check himself throughout the day. When he looked particularly poorly, mid way through the afternoon my colleague and I ordered him (despite being technically our superior) to take his temperature again, and if it had elevated at all, he should go home immediately.
When he quibbled that there was no one else to replace him, I replied ‘the manager can take over’, so that is not your concern. And we walked down with him to the office and checked his result, before we would let him carry on. We would have enforced it too, knowing full well that the manager would back the call.
I have no idea why Deus wants Maxima to dress up. Does he have some defense against being literally blinded by her radiant and highly reflective beauty?
He’s a man of refined tastes, I think it’s just as much about going someplace
fancyopulent. Only fair to alert her to the dress code.by candlelight she’d be delightfully sparkley
I know she doesn’t like to be considered a sex object. However, Maxima looks beautiful in a dress.
You misspelt “angry”. ;-)
Yep, that is definitely ‘angry’ hair
I am very impressed at Deus being fluent in Alari. Especially as it has a cadence matching the Star Wars Imperial March!
Your ap-point-ment for din-ing and con-quest… Yeah, that tracks.
Yes. Sunglassses.
Deus: What happenes when someone watches Dr. Doom, and thinks. “Daddy. I want to be him when I grow up!” Well, more like LEx Luthor at his best.
He would have gone for the Doom look, but decided the facial scars were more striking than hideous.
I think Deux is a notch above Luthor, or he’s where Luthor would be had he focused on gaining personal wealth and power, instead of wasting energy and resources trying to beat Superman. Luthor never bought a country.
Luthor was POTUS
Y’know, I really like how Deus is portrayed in this page. Him not being as 100% in-control of the situation as he pretends that he is, is a very nice humanizing touch. And humorous, too!
Why the hell do I hear Amanda Tapping every time I read Lorlara… (Reprising the accent from the show Sanctuary no less)
Lorlara is my newest fave character.
Was thinking of Lorlara as Deus” “pitbull”.
I’ve reconsidered.
She’s his pack of fight-trained pitbulls with anger management issues….
I continue to like Lorlara.
Also I enjoy the second-last panel. My favourite Deus moments are the ones where we’re reminded he’s actually a total fucking dork.
This fine graphic tale has so many good qualities. Far too many to mention in this trivial posting. But let me add, I greatly admire a modern writer that can use the phrase, “mewling capitulation” properly.
You are so very right. Hard to use. Works well with “…quelled into submission.”
“I greatly admire a modern writer that can use the phrase, “mewling capitulation” properly.”
“Works well with “…quelled into submission.”
Outside of romance novels, that is……..
Minmax yourself lol
I like the fact that she makes him a tad nervous. Doofus–I mean Deus–needs to be taken down several pegs.
So they’re all just a bunch of fucking space drow. I can see why someone tried to wipe them out.
