Grrl Power #985 – Big bodyslam diplomacy
Maxima is not often invited to diplomatic events. “They” learned early on that she only has so many knuckles to crack.
Assuming Tom is 90 feet tall, he would weigh… (one quick googling later) Huh. Not nearly as much as I would have guessed. Roundabout 260 tons. Assuming he’s of a similar composition as a human, of course. I really thought it would be something like 7,000 tons. I don’t know why, a blue whale only weighs about 200 tons. I guess my exponential-math-in-my-head-cortex is out of whack.
I like panel seven, because it makes Tom look like a demonic version of Beaker.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:
I finished the last chapter! Man, the fight went in a super weird direction for about 10 paragraphs.
Now… don’t be mad… But the chapter was pushing 10K words and I wanted a little wrap scene, so… There’s going to be one last chapter. I think that’s 4 or 5 times I’ve said that I’m starting on the last chapter, but this time it’s probably not a wild underestimation. It’ll be short.
September’s vote incentive is up! Nude version is up at Patreon.
The October one will be posted with Thursday’s comic. I spent all day Sunday working on it, but I spent all day Saturday working on T:E 2, so I didn’t quite get it done in time. I need to sleep less. Yes… that plan has no possible drawbacks.
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.
Dabbler looks pretty good from this angle.
… okay, I acknowledge that’s not saying anything deeply profound. How about, “This is a new angle from which Dabbler also comes out looking pretty good!”
Just enough violence.
No more.
Max is a professional!
Gotta admit, Panel 1 had me going “What?”
It was extra funny having Panel 3’s dialogue being the same thing. A nice sequence!
Whell that was a huge waste of time.Are we ever going to meet a real threat in this series again?Gotta admit the supernatural communitys kinda pathetic for the mostpart.
Is the series going to be about the narratively invincible characters fucking with each other from now on?
Because that’s what it looks like.
And the real villains or adversaries not necessarily villains will probably end up being the folks that picked up Sydney’s powers when taking the uncooperative practice dummy out into space.
Spaceman meme? I think this might be an appropriate time for the spaceman meme.
Because it always was.
Ya kinda knew this guy wasn’t going to be a real threat. He had comic relief written all over his storyline.
this guy was obviously not a real threat the instant he was more like that obnoxious ex boyfriend of dabbler’s, and there are plenty of potential threats like the xenovarchy, those squid guys with the giant kaijus, and we still have a bunch of other potential threats that could be introduced
You mean like Vehemence, Sciona, and Henchwhench & Co?
I feel like we’ve met plenty.
“Sciona” is now a Latina Super. “Henchwhench” is still out there!
Yknow.
Maxima is just enjoying a good ol throw-down against ego.
Halo can’t stop herself and isn’t threatened, she could deep-space him. Which at minimum would be an inconvenience.
Dabbler. Is loving every moment of this. One can only imagine how turned on she is.
We haven’t actually established how big she can open the causeway. It might just be big enough for a single normal sized humanoid to transit.
“a single normal sized humanoid to transit.” So far!
He should’ve swatted Max the first time…..
think that would have same effect as maxima trying to move the orbs. he swing and hit a brick wall or instant stop. and then cue the body flip
If she sees it coming and using flight to maintain her position in the air and ups her durability then if he isn’t strong enough or durable enough it would be like smacking his hand into a nail *bullet effect*, pounds per square inch meets differences in resistance and all that.
*scoff* “…Puny Demon Lord…”
Wait, laughing and poking are being uncivil?
Even more looking forward to Maxi encountering a truly uncivil individual, and hope they wipe Uranus with her face!!!
Also threatening invasion and being condescending about the other’s accomplishments in battle.
considering he is trespassing on federal land right now and doing this at and physically touching a federal officer.
yes, he is being uncivil.
Well, would you describe that as being civil?
He was talking, he just thought Maxi was funny
You all need to redefine what is ‘civil’ and uncivil’… oh right, you called that whole war between those who wanted independence and those who wanted to steal their wealth the ‘Civil’ War
A Civil War is what it is called when ANY country has an internal war between its citizens.
it relates to definition 1 of “Civil” as in it is not just a military matter but a war between its citizens.

Can’t believe how easy you all make this
The American’s weren’t the only ones to have a ‘Civil’ war, the English had one first, and the Spanish had one just prior to WWII
No duh, that was my entire point in correcting YOU for not comprehending what the word meant.
There’s this really funny youtube series hosted by The Escapist called ‘Slightly Uncivil War’ where they debate video game-related things. It has Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation debating Jack Packard.
> Wait, laughing and poking are being *un*civil?
In the sense of ‘impolite’? Yes, absolutely. Would you consider it polite if someone walked up to you, laughed at you, and poked you in the stomach with their finger?
> You all need to redefine what is ‘civil’ and uncivil’… oh right, you called that whole war between those who wanted independence and those who wanted to steal their wealth the ‘Civil’ War
Are you perchance someone who believes that the American Civil War was about states’ rights? If so, which rights do you think it was about? (Hint: The answer is “Yes, it was about the Confederate states wanting the right to own human beings as property.” I’ve compiled a list of evidence if you refuse to admit that: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KWELXt0FH2IbnM5YxjKzxOQZ0u_-UZyD0JW0JUgJWRk/edit#heading=h.e3baeke8wvo8 )
Thank you.
Right, it had nothing to do with the crops, the oh-so-valuable crops that could only be grown in the south
The people who started the war made it very clear that the reason they did so was to preserve the institution of slavery. It was not a secret. They made speeches where they spelled it out.
It surprises me that someone who isn’t personally invested in the south’s ridiculous narrative by way of being born there would fall for it. Doesn’t your own country have enough nonsense to keep you occupied?
Apparently Guesticules can’t be bothered to click a link. Okay, I’ll paste it for you. There’s more at the google docs link I posted, but here’s the Cornerstone Speech part:
In March 1861, Alexander Stephens, the Confederacy’s vice president, said this (emphasis added):
——- quote
[…]
But not to be tedious in enumerating the numerous changes for the better, allow me to allude to one other-though last, not least: the new Constitution [of the Confederacy] has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutions–AFRICAN SLAVERY as it exists among us–the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. THIS WAS THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF THE LATE RUPTURE AND PRESENT REVOLUTION.
[…]
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
———- end quote

Well, that guy should’ve known better to be a villain/villain-adjacent in this comic.
Wonder what Kevin’s up to while this is going on. Or if he’s just waiting around for more screentime. Paneltime?
Okay, Thoth has a problem. what is he speaking out of? he’s got a top lip/fang thing and a bottom lip fang thing, but his neck extends through it. no jaw, no tongue, just a weird wart that kind of looks like lower fangs. it looks like his entire head could just be a decoration on the red neck.
its not even a wart, look at the previous pages, his lower jaw is floating in the air.
its why I rolled my eyes at any talk of physiology related to his size, he clearly isn’t obeying any, heck his entire eye sockets are lit up, unless he uses mana sight or indirect particle perception *or simpler things like sonar, electro sensory perception ect…* than he shouldn’t be able to see out of those.
The mouth hole is a vertical tupe behind one of the jaws, which function as mandibles, the macerated food topping into the gap. Alternatively, he eats souls, not through his mouth, or eats through his skin, like The Giant Claw.
Speaking of non-sequiturs,
a hypothetical on what may happen the moment Sydney fills in all the pips of her orbs.

I absolutely. *Adore.* The way Sydney looks in the last panel. :D Something about it just makes me happy, hehe. Good job on the drawing there! :3
Inverse square law. If you double the size of a creature, you quadruple it’s volume. I am 6 feet tall, 200 pounds. If you made me twice as tall I would be 12 feet tall but weigh 800 pounds. Etc…
The dialogue (trialogue?) at the end is perfect for these characters.
New invotive is… interesting, Sydney is wondering where Dabbles’ fourth hand is :D
Square Cube Law.
If he’s ACTUALLY that big, he pretty much CANNOT have similar body composition to a human.
Or he’s like Achilles. Generating so many overlapping force fields (structural integrity fields) to hold himself together…
Someone of “merely” human body composition would snap its own back, it’s arms would disarticulate at the shoulders, and the legs would telescope back up into the torso under his own weight
Now, maybe similar body composition to a super…
Or it’s magic, picking up all the physical slack.
What part of any of him indicates to you ‘human’?
And Dabbles already pointed out that he was using magic to appear to be that big
I imagine that when you”re as insanely strong as Maxima AND you have her INCREDIBLY POWERFUL flight powers….silly things like Leverage become FAR more flexible
One Punch Man vs Max?
