Grrl Power #991 – Demon double dipping
Dabbler telling Sydney about Astral nasties.
I think coming up with made up names is a skill like drawing or… I don’t know, throwing axes. I used to get really stuck when making up weird fantasy words, like all I’d be able think of would be the word “fnrrrg” or something, but most of those names on the demon whiteboard aren’t actually terrible? Well, a few are supposed to be sub-optimal since that’s always going to happen when you’re focus-grouping stuff.
Panel 5 is my little tribute to Norm MacDonald. I was going to name him as a character in the Who’s Who, but only if I could come up with a Demony sounding name that kind of sounded like his real name, but the best I could manage was “Norm MacDemon” or “Swarm (of Locusts) MacDonald.” Or… Swarm MacDemon, I guess, but that’s starting to drift off point a bit too far.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:
About 2/3 done with my editing pass. I’d like to say I’ll have it done in a week, but I might have to prioritize the next nudie pinup thing. I accidentally put 4 characters in it like a dummy, so it’ll take slightly longer to shade them all up all nice.
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.
@DaveB;
I have an important question for you….how do you define the difference between a Demon & a Devil?
We already know some of the basic differences.
Aha, forgot that she touched on at least one big difference between Demons & Devils already…..but that explanation feels like more of a sociological choice than a difference race.
I guess I’m just pulling a Sydney, glossing over the big picture to nitpick the little things that catch my attention.
When you have creatures that feed off of lust and violence, the difference between sociology versus biology tends to become rather nebulous.
Demons are Chaotic Evil.
Devils are Lawful Evil.
Dickheads are Annoying Evil.
After weeks of feeding ninjas I find myself punniless.
look up thread there are mounds of puns. some might say they need some coverage. perhaps that will give you a lift.
So you are saying he should have kept abreast of the bountiful points?
Yorp no, don’t let them encourage you to join them in their evil, pun-filled immoral ways. You’re a good doggo.
*hangs head in shame*
I am repuntant.
Don’t let Pander ruff up your loyalties, the ninjas are cordial enough once you learn how to work with them.
Et tu, Yorpie? Et tu?
brutish isn’t it.
Careful, her Caesar and Desist letters are quite pointed.
I would not Shake a Speare at them
Tempestantrums never solve anything, anyway.
I’m surrounded by monsters.

just thought I’d leave this defense here.
come join us, there are hot cross puns.
As you wish, Pander. But is there a reason why you want me to wear this?
I am trying to stay out of the headlights as I keep coming in under the wire. I wouldn’t want to make any uncomfortable digs.
don’t worry I hear the latest puns have padding.
How much support do they provide?
Ist wündebra!
And now some intergalactic news.
I still recall my (otherwise pretty competent) Physics teacher deriding my prediction that it would not be long before we could detect planets around other stars. “They are too small and too far away for us to EVER be able to detect them.”
A few years after I left that school we detected the first exoplanet (I had been keeping up with astronomical attempts and felt they were credible, hence my prediction, despite the teacher refusing to accept any of my arguments to that effect).
The warm glow I got from reading the above news can probably be detected from half the Messier objects.
*incandescent thermal glow*
to be fair its pretty unbelievable that we can detect planets that far away (and sometimes even predict the composition of their atmospheres and stuff) kind of like how we managed to detect a gravity wave even if they barely can move atoms or we took a photo of a black hole by creating a telescope the size of earth, modern technology is amazing
Worm MacNurgle would’ve been on point, but the design you settled on is experiencing a crippling deficit of buboes and open sores.
@daveb Horned MacDamned’all
Was randomly browsing youtube, and found the inspiration (or one of them) for panel five
are you going to need a yogurt bath like Sidney.
“Slobber sprinkler shit factory face biters” got better PR & are now called “Dogs”.
That’s funny, I thought they were called “babies” or “children” now. I guess I was misinformed…
Babies don’t tend to bite faces…
Nor do dogs.
Don’t you just hate it when a good, old-fashioned riot gets completely derailed by reasonable and equitable discourse?
There oughta be a law…
there is. just not in the comic.
So did Tom just get fiendzoned?
no, at least in human terms. friendzone does not come with lace benefits.
He’s already Dabbler’s Ex.
Sydney? Just… put down the shovel and walk away from the hole
You just got called out for making an offensive comment, and you follow up by making another one?
That is her modus operandi.
Unlike Demon they can’t even argue etymology on this one with words changing meaning with changes to culture. Demon is derived from words that originally referred to pagan gods *minor something between human and gods for Daemon*,
granted “Devil” is derived from words meaning Accessor or Slanderer, although technically referring to a prosecutor by the Greek way and filtering through Germanic and Latin. So a reasonable job being dragged through the mud.
Fiend however always meant “Enemy”
So it is like telling people your people are called The Enemies…that is bad PR.
*Accuser not Accessor, stupid autocorrect.
I find myself amused by the Seal in the fourth panel… the “Department of Sanity”. Would that such a bureau existed in our World.
it would have been defunded.
Pander have you been involved in a precedent-setting dog custody case?
The funny thing is thats not really precedent setting. It’s a contract agreement in conjunction with a divorce basically. But its in Spain and I am not familiar with spanish law.
If anything is original, it would be if the judge treated the dog as a human child. But animals have been treated asliving beings for a long time. Admittedly also AS objects thst happen to be living beings. Laws about livestock. Animal cruelty laws. If you want to stretch it, any laws regulating the logging industry since plants are “living beings.” Etc.
But no, I don’t do divorce law. :)
Aww, when I saw it mention “Panda”, I was sure you had something to do with it.
*ears drooping*
On much of the continent (as in the UK), they are only treated as property, for purposes of compensation for death or dealing with custody, as in this case. Albeit that there are separate laws regarding the prevention of cruelty. The UK parliament though is putting through a law that gives higher penalties for dognapping (and theft of other pets). Until or unless that is passed the only penalty is that for theft, the same as any object. If it passes successfully, the additional distress caused by the loss of a beloved companion will be reflected by higher punishments.
Sadly badly needed as dog and catnapping has been very much on the rise in the UK. It even happened to a friend of mine, a couple of years ago. Fortunately foiled because the villains thought they were dognapping, without realising that they were the wolves I raised! It did not end well for the bad guys.
Lockdown increased the rate of thefts even more, so I very much hope that the law passes OK.
Missing from the white board… Gwar!
Soooo… McDemons has subjugated 40 billion?
Would you like fiends with that order?
It should have been in the last panel: “Man, you need to “find” better marketing”
Either works. Your phrasing is an instruction that would need to be directed specifically at the person (i.e. fiend) who needs the better marketing. Sydney’s is more of a description, and arguably works better if the target of said description is not in earshot.
