Grrl Power #990 – Read my lack of lips
I love seeing people in the comments wondering if Sydney was going to ask about Infernal administrative services when I’ve been planning on Sydney’s mouth question from about the second time I drew this guy like 7 years ago.
Sydney isn’t great about not just blurting out the first thing that comes to mind, but she’s trying to get better.
You ever see animes where the monsters don’t move their mouths when they talk? I always thought that was pretty lazy. I mean, I get it. Producing an anime has to be a shit ton of work, but when I’m watching Devilman or Guyver and the demons/zoanoids aren’t even moving their jaws up and down slightly, I always wondered where the sound was actually coming from. Well, now I’ve answered that question, at least in my own little corner of the fantasy-verse.
It also means that if Grrl Power were an animated series, Dabbler would spend the rest of this scene using that voice speaker spell and not moving her mouth, increasingly aggravating everyone present.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:
Half done. I’ve collected most of the good stuff in FC6, so the game is starting to lose its hold on me. Honestly, the starting semi-auto rifle you get is basically the best weapon in the game once you load it with armor piercing rounds and a silencer. All the other AR’s in the game are less accurate at the expense of using more ammo. It’s all about the headshots. So yeah, I found some unique SMG that sets people on fire. It still takes like 20 rounds to put them down if I’m not nailing them in the head, so I used that on like, 3 people, then switched back to the one-shot-pop-and-stop.
October’s vote incentive is up! This is a redraw of a comic I did in 2011 I think, but never published. I had originally pictured the comic going through an establishment phase, and then taking occasional breaks from the storylines for little one-off moments like these. Which I guess I could still do. I just got wrapped up in the story telling and forgot.
So Dabbler and Sydney are up late one evening on night watch but Dabbler has just discovered Cinemax…
Nude version is up at Patreon, as is the original version of this page.
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.
So, Thothogoth’s name is now “Tom Thumb”?
Well connected. Dabbler does indeed call him Tom, so that is a natural extension.
*raises dew claw up*
This is the closest I can come to giving you a thumbs up.
Turn over to the nail side of the thumb! (As Black Helmet Man would say in “Thumb Wars”)
Whoo! Finally escaped from hospital. I seem to have developed a super power. I had two mystery conditions. Both of which had every doctor, surgeon, consultant, registrar and various specialists mystified. Which I regenerated and restored my body to normal function! Again, with them not knowing how.
Love the guilt arrows.
*wags tail enthusiastically*
So your superpower is to confuse doktors. Or just good old fashioned healing powers.
His archenemy is probably Dr Gregory House.
You may have a syndrome named after you! Congratulations on living to tell the tale – usually “Bob’s Syndrome” is named posthumously.
Sadly the World Health Organisation has discontinued the practice. Likewise naming diseases after the country they were first discovered in. Due to the stigmatisation involved in being associated with something nasty.
*hangs head gloomily*
But if I have suffered with said nasty syndrome, it would be nice to have eternal infamy and to be mentioned in medical journals and wikipedia articles in perpetuity!
Or at least your doctors will be famous for it… (◔_◔)
Glad to hear you’re doing better!
Huh, a furry artist I’ve known for decades did something similar. He started developing medical conditions that had specialists around the world wondering why he was even still alive, ended up all the way into a wheelchair but inexplicably worked his way back up to the point where he was only needing a cane to walk around last time I saw him.
Usually if a doctor can’t find what’s wrong, someone screwed up. Mystery illnesses are surprisingly rare.
That said congratulations on getting better and welcome back.
Indeed – welcome back.
Just be careful about publicising your possible healing powers – Syd’s worries about being another Wolverine come to mind..
Its alright, I have developed a cunning ploy. I keep finding (3 times last year alone, and another this year) bodies in the street (or on railroad level crossings). Yet, by the time I have finished tending to them, they are recovering well. Clearly I have developed the “affects others” enhancement, so do not have to be the one getting in dire straights, in order to demonstrate my powers.
Albeit I seem to have acquired that enhancement by offsetting the cost of gaining the “Weirdness Magnet” disadvantage. I mean, just how many people find bodies lying on railroad tracks, just as the level crossing barrier is about to go down? Or walk down the street and have a someone collapse right in front of you.
Clearly the script writer is prone to dramatic co-incidence!
*peers through the 4th wall at the writer*
And thanks. Nice to be back!
*wags tail gratefully*
Dabbler would use the speaker spell but not for her mouth.
“If Grrl Power were an animated series”
It should be. It really should be.
It would probably be able to get pitch money in a few years. You need to have a minimum length of story I think, before it can be pitched for any sort of TV show.
Goblins: Life through their eyes has one in the works. Has an all-star cast lined up too.
Sydney could learn a few things. Excessive level of control and order, can be more destructive that chaos. Imagine so that the law was pushed in a way that took away people’s choices to do things as they need. There’s already been instances where one type of law contradicts one another, and leave no decent options at all. Like one instance where a Bakery had two different regulations to just deal with the door separating the kitchen and the store floor, That say the door has to swing in a specific direction. But both regulations said opposite things, and one of them wouldn’t allow a door that swings both ways. They could never be in compliance with both regulations at once.
Friend Computer gives geetings.
So… The current US legal system?
we are far from that. as long as you have money.

Now I’m imagining Adam West opening a box marked Bat Cucumber Slices. Thank you.
I’m confused why she is confused. Wasn’t there an alien a while back that spoke only in scents, but she understood because of the translator?
its not so much that he is speaking, it is that he didn’t appear to have a mouth at all; despite ALL the demons she’s met up to this point having mouths and moving them when talking. Hell in this scene there are three demons, two of which have human like mouths and can be seen talking with them. He is the odd one out so far.
She didn’t have one, the ET did.
Khorn somewhere, sipping tea, thinking about creating a peacefull democratic society once he wins the war
Haahahahahaha!! Imagine getting guilt shmed by a demon!? Also a Thumb LOL!! Dave you absolute Comedic Genius.
Obviously Demons are into chaos, but Devils are into order.
Right, but Xuriel has established that Thothogoth is a demon.
Also, apparently you’re being very hurtful right now – though saying so means I’m literally playing devil’s advocate.
Just read the comic’s title again, and suddenly I have a yearning to listen to Larry the Cucumber (Veggietales) sing “I love my lips!” …
