Grrl Power #949 – Hob-nobbin goblin
I far more amused with “tall, bark, and fluffy” than I should be.
Sydney is only just barely on board with attempting polyamorous relationships, and even then, it does seem it’s mostly because the two guys she’s shown the most interest in were already taken. Well, except for Olivia’s half-brother cousin. (Back when I could get away with drawing half-backgrounds in half the panels.)
Okay, we don’t actually know if Tony was attached to anyone at the time, but Sydney never mustered the courage to ask him out, and she hasn’t seen him in the store lately, as she’s only there one and a half days a week now. Still, Sydney’s giving it the ‘ol college try. Just barely.
Digit is your typical scatterbrain inventor, which is a fun trope to play with, but if I had really given it a lot of thought before introducing in inventor into the comic, I think it would have been just as amusing to have an inventor that was super organized and buttoned-up. Like a sexy lady Jamie Hyneman. Which is not a sentence I thought I would ever type again. (I typed it once already in a (non-Grrl Power) Discord I occasionally idle in.) There isn’t a Grrl Power Discord in case anyone was wondering. My attention is already pulled in too many directions for me to manage something like that.
I guess that’s not to say Arc-SPARQ doesn’t have someone like that, but if they ever bumped into Digit, they might mutually annihilate.
We’ve got a brief cameo in the form of Frosty’s Prinrin, a goblin inventor. I’m not sure she’s normally this forward, but that’s how it worked out on this page. :) The Twilight Council has its own engineers, of course, but they work with magical stuff and enchanted things as much as they restore old pumpkin carriages and DeLoreans and whatnot.
If Prinrin does get Frix in bed, she might be the first cameo character that dies in the comic, because there is some evidence that Frix is… unaccommodatable to someone of her stature.
The new vote incentive is up! Some of you got sort of invested in Lapha and Garamm, so here she is testing out her new duds. I don’t know if or when they’ll show up in the comic again, (probably more a question of ‘when’) but we’ll have to see if she got any other options besides the tail. Personally I’d go for retractable, venomous fangs, but presumably if you get those, you also have to get a special upgraded pancreas or liver or something, in case you accidentally bite the inside of your own cheek with your fang.
As usual, there are a few variants over at Patreon, and as is becoming more common, a little follow-on comic.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. 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.
I won’t link it, but there is World of Warcraft fanfic adult material based on the same idea about a goblin and worgen.
I am hoping they find something from scanning the offgasses of the green orb.
Some interesting isotopes. Something like 30% representation of 18au Oxygen atoms.
An unexpected molecule like nitrous oxide. Just for a laugh.
Nanotech drones.

Poor Sydney
I have a feeling that there is going to be a goblin missing after Sydney is done.
Then she’d have failed at the idea of a polyamorous relationship :p
It’s still an open relationship, it’s just that all the alternative options are dead. It’s an open-coffin relationship.
I feel like he’s yelling “Digiiiiiiiiiit!” the same way that Spacely (george jetson’s boss) yells “Jetsooooooooooooon!” more than Dave yells “Alviiiiiiiiin!”
Or maybe the Skipper going “Gilligaaaaaaaannnnn!!!!”
(Awesome to realize that most of the people on this planet have never lived in a universe without “Gilligan’s Island”
Fun Fact: Gillian is an Irish surname.
is that why there are no snakes on Gilligan’s Island?
Hooray for poly representation, although I sympathize with Sydney for having a rough time adjusting to a new paradigm.
Well, given that during the day and a half per week that she’s at the shop she probably sees Tony’s sister, if Sydney is still interested in Tony’s relationship status (and possibly more) all she needs to do is ask.
Prinrin reminds me of a character from an amateur story posted on literotica. I don’t remember the name but it’s something about a house providing a guy with a harem. The harem members are typically fantasy critters, and one of them is a goblin girl who does all the fixing up and other hands on mechanic/carpenter/plumber/etc type work at the house.
That sounds quite interesting provided it’s an actual tale and not just stage props for porn. I don’t suppose you have a link or the name?
Literotica is easy, just add a .com and you’re good.
For the story, that’s rough because there is no search function as far as I’ve found. The best you can do is an alpha search, which is not ideal when I can’t remember the name of the story. You can also pull up tags, so you might try ‘goblin’ and etc. But again, I think you have to have found a story with that tag in order to click it for the list of tagged stories to be presented to you.
As far as being just stage props for porn, I refer you to the domain name… It’s a site that hosts amateur porn stories, and as you might imagine the vast majority of them are utter crap. This one has an actual plot line, but once per chapter there is always a sex scene. The chapters can be fairly long, 6+ pages, and the sex scene might only be half of one page, so while it’s not the primary focus it’s always gonna be in there.
As you might have surmised, I read several chapters and then got distracted. Forgot the name, and haven’t spent any time trying to find it in my browser history. Because while it’s not utter dreck, the author manages spelling and grammar and has an interesting and fairly entertaining plot, it still wasn’t good enough for me to bother trying to find it again.
I did a little poking at my browser history, and in February I ran across the links to this story. So I now know the name, again:
Home for Horny Monsters
I’ll post this in the most recent update in case you don’t receive email notification of replies to your posts. I don’t, so I know it’s not a universally used feature.
Ohhh boy that hob goblin is going to be regretting trying to pull a dabbler and go sexual on someone.
Prinrin reminds me of goblins from a certain corruption game…
Have you noticed in the early comics how Digit’s hair is a lighter shade of blonde…!?
and Math had white hair and last we saw him it was yellow.
preferred the white, made him stand out more, also he seemed a little shorter before.
He also was lacking… eyebrows!
Or is that now?
I am just thinking of a cross between Nitrine from Flaky Pastry and the “Girl Gremlin” from Gremlins 2.
She has knee-pads! Dabbler approved, no doubt.
I hate to break it to you but she needs a step stool, more than knee pads for what you are insinuating. Those knee protectors are just OHSA approved safety gear. Having had to wear knee pads for more than one job, it kind of annoyed me, but not too much so don’t stress on it or anything. My mind had no problem following you there after all.
I seem to remember Sydney needing to make a phone call to her parents to give them a heads up before she ended up all over the news.
There are so many comic possibilities from a full exploration of that relationship. Will me meet her parents?
Now imagine her introducing her boyfriend the Woof and his other girlfriends.
Then she introduces her other boyfriends. Then she introduces their other girlfriends.
I suspect that a certain Goblin is going to become a good friend of Syd and maybe a main character.
Maybe she works with Halo to build some cool gadgets. She just has crazy great ideas. She shares a taste for spicy food. She is the source for custom toys that are Dabbler tested and approved. She has valuable connections. She frequently and repeatedly clues Sydney in that ARC needs them at least as much as they need ARC. She loves comics and actually has her own that she renders and authors. (Machinima web cartoon, but still cool.) She is creative and fun. It hurts Sydney a lot when she gets killed.
Or whatever actually happens.
I see Prinrin and right away I Hear the Voice of Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wallowitz from *TBBT*. I mean she’s short, Busty and a Genius, a Woman “Who can get all the GIANT MISSLES She wants” (Sexually).
I like her already!
…
…for SEVERAL reasons. Shut up.
Dayum Prin is cuuuuute O.O
I think you mean “perilous”.
