Grrl Power #1323 - Plans within plans
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Sciona is poor at feigning ignorance, (or non-superiority) so imagine her first few lines coming across a little bored sounding, like she's just reading lines with her college roommate who is suuuuperinto her drama classes, and Sciona just... can't. But not so much so that she's immediately suspicious sounding. Ellie was kind of distracte...
Grrl Power #1322 - Headboard room dealings
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Sciona's bootynm might be "Vaguely Threatening Platinum Latina"Platina? Yeah, I'm a sucker for a portmanteau. "Vaguely Threatening Platina."Honestly, I think Sciona might be just a little bit sweet on 6x Guy. She as much as said there would be a second time. Also she didn't take all his blood. The fact that she was conspic...
Grrl Power #1321 - Afterglow vitae
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!That particular spell just so happens to require the blood of a dude you recently banged six times in a row. Hey, I don't make the rules. Okay, fine, it really only requires a drop of blood from a "dual cultivation" partner.However you manage that result is your business.There briefly existed a version of this page where excess blood from...
Grrl Power #1320 - Performance review
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!I know I cheat a little bit with the Who's Who panel, because sometimes I draw a chick with a partially shaved `do and assume you all know who it is even though it kind of could be a few people, like Jabberwokky in a flashback before she went teal and white or, well, hopefully no one would think it's Varia. Even as inconsistent as my art can ...
Peggy recollects (NSFW)
And Dabbler assists with a combination of brain tentacles and a simple 2D hologram spell. Otherwise it kind of doesn't make sense that Peggy would gratuitously describe all the things she thought she saw, or more realistically, imagined after the fact.
Grrl Power #1319 - The Full Peggy
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Weren't everyone's family portraits done under some sort of duress? Usually it's mom cracking the whip, or sometimes it's mom and dad, but I never met any kids that were excited to be forced into a collared shirt so you could go rest your arm on that fuzzy saddle thing while mom glared at you to "smile nice."Peggy's foot i...
Grrl Power #1318 - Have two feet, will probably travel
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Peggy's new favorite thing to do? Not hopping when she gets out of bed in the morning. I mean, sure, she'd probably keep her prosthetic next to the bed, but I assume she has one especially for the shower, fully hydrophobic, with a non-slip foot pad, and doesn't want to strap the everyday peg on to walk ten feet to the restroom. Her second...
Grrl Power #1317 - Beige quo
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Peggy's seen some nasty stuff in combat, but she was almost entirely spared the more visceral elements of losing her leg, as she passed out when Max hiked the Pave Hawk, then woke up post surgery. No one ever showed her a photo of her leg, though she did see an X-Ray of it, which helped her come to terms with why it needed to be removed instead o...
Grrl Power #1316 - Gesnewsheit
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!So I've been having trouble keeping up with the comic due to helping out my mom, and then my brain hits me with this gag, and of course, the whole thing requires a certain level of art to really land. Max, Hiro and Harem's pictures are supposed to be nice PR shots, and maybe just a little sexy. Then cut to Sydney's "Ren and Stimpy Clo...
Grrl Power #1315 - Gotta caption 'em all
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Happy almost Xmas! For those of you who partake.I guess I jumped the gun talking about subtitles under the last page. Oh well. I do personally find it almost impossible not to read subtitles... or just captioning really, when they're on the screen. When I'm at my parent's house, the captioning is always on, cause my dad had a cochlear imp...
Grrl Power #1314 - Replantigrade
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!I think I've said this before, but in my original envisioning of this story, I'd never intended Peggy to get her leg back. But having introduced Cora and her crew and their Space Meditech, it just doesn't make sense that she wouldn't. Only Peggy refusing it or Cora and Co. denying her for some reason that... I maybe could have come up...
Grrl Power #1313 - Da Ba Dee
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!The exception to exotic skin colors applied to pre-sexy people is that baby-shit yellow colorthat major appliances were in the 60s and 70s. You can call it "Harvest Gold" all you want, but it's baby-shit-yellow. On humans that just looks like advanced jaundice. Almost any other color is fine.Sydney is being pretty peak ADHD here, explaini...
Grrl Power #1312 - Epiphonym
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!"...that was about the hardest thing I've ever done and I've ________________"• sat in a meeting with the joint chiefs without rolling my eyes.• resisted the urge to punch out a sexist MTI* during basic.• had to learn how to put on a bra in my adolescence with wildly fluctuating super strength. Come to think of it, just pulling ...
Grrl Power #1311 - Tätowierungnaut
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Don't point at your commanding officer, Sydney, or j'accuse her of stuff. Maxima is a ridiculously lax officer when it comes to discipline... I mean, honestly, there probably aren't any actual military officers who are as casual as her in the real world. Unless, I don't know, does Tahiti have a standing army? You got to figure if they...
Grrl Power #1310 - No cybernetic peg-leg for you
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!The security spell is still there, it just, uh, soaked into the drywall."Shkran lak" is "thank you" in Arabic. At least according to google translate. Arabic is the first language Dabbler learned/copied/cheated when she got to Earth. She also picked up Kurdish, Turkish, and Neo-Aramaic before learning English. Maxima speaks passable A...
Grrl Power #1309 - Hell-oooo nurse!
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!I don't have to tell anyone that's Dabbler, right? I considered putting "<----(Dabbler)" on the page, but between her eyes, behavior, the Who's Who and someone in the comments invariably asking "Who's the nurse?" and 11 answers, only 7 of which are facetious, I'm sure there are enough clues.Hey, let's play a ga...
Grrl Power #1308 - Gold plated lining
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!The military is probably not great for disability inclusion. Not for field work anyway. I mean, battleships don't have accessibility ramps, and the control panel of a Blackhawk probably doesn't have braille anywhere on it, and there's no spot in a submarine next to the sonar station for an ASL Interpreter. (Cause the sonar guy is deaf, se...
Grrl Power #1307 - Batmax
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!What Maxima is implying about the split decision is that the sniper competition judges were probably a bunch of boy's club old school military types, so naturally anything resembling a tie goes to the "can write name in snow" club.By "in the service," Maxima means the Air Force specifically. A branch not usually renown for their s...
Grrl Power #1306 - Exposure therapy?
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!In my eagerness to put this goofy page up, I have skipped an important transitional page, which would have shown - without dialog - a doctor talking to a forlorn looking Peggy, a doctor showing an X-ray of what was left of her leg and Peggy looking slightly green, then a series of panels where Peggy is psyching herself up to use a crutch for the firs...
Grrl Power #1305 - Save 50% on roller skates
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Is there anything a bossomy hug can't fix? Well, yes, but that's no excuse not to keep trying.I struggled with the layout of this page because I really wanted to include the above group hug panel on it, but I just couldn't figure out how to fit it all without shrinking other panels to unacceptable levels. So it's a bonus panel. Still ...
Grrl Power #1304 - Triple A...ir Force
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!While Maxima certainly has strong feelings about things like burqas (niqabs, hijabs, etc.) she also has strong feelings about reflecting bright desert sunlight 20 miles away, and revealing the nature of her classified existence while in the field. Also, if you get a bunch of special forces guys to wear niqabs, then suddenly they're called shemaug...
Grrl Power #1303 - Unreliable narrator
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Blushing Peggy, adorkably cute Sydney, sexy (if imaginary and embellished) Maxima. This is one of my favorite pages I've done in a while.A lot of you guessed something like this, or basically nailed it exactly. It's not like I didn't telegraph the heck out of it. The only other way this was going to end would be the truck coming down next...
Grrl Power #1302 - Oh, What A Feeling!
Clearly the floor of that valley/canyon thing is solid stone with a dusting of sand, because if it was 10 foot deep sand, the truck would thud into a dune, maybe flip once, but more likely roll over maybe halfway then settle to a stop. Maybe unless the truck was doing 300 when it rolled, and it wasn't. It won't day how fast it was going, because I don't know how fast it would have to b...
Grrl Power #1301 - This looks like a job for the Riviera Kid!
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!There was a time in the era of competitive Quake 3 when I was young enough to have ridiculous reflexes and a DSL line giving me a sub-fifty ping. (Do you younguns still know what ping is? Everyone has broadband these days, and ping doesn't really come up unless you insist on playing on a server on another continent for some reason.) Anyway, my fa...
Grrl Power #1300 - Zeroing
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!Happy Halloween! Everyone dress slutty!FYI, the final panel is what you get if you type "Stick that rocket up their ass!" into google translate and tell it to Arabic it. I have minimal faith in the accuracy of that translation. It probably says something like "That branch and rocket are in the rectum!" But from Peggy's point of vi...
Grrl Power #1299 - Hell hath no fury like a cornered sniper
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!I'm sure some people will be tempted to comment on Peggy getting a headshot at 300 (?) yards on a moving target after both her and her rifle tumbled out of a crashed helicopter. Not to spoil anything, but that is addressed on the next page. I can only fit so much per page. Also, you don't know what she was even aiming at. That could have been...
Grrl Power #1298 - And it was thiiiis big...
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!After I drew this page I realized Peggy's fishing lure would probably have worked a lot better if she'd tied it just below the pommel.This flashback involve a dirty Peggy wearing desert camo laying on the desert ground and it's all in a shadow, so naturally it looks really murky. I'm not sure what the solution for that is besides just...
Grrl Power - Dabbler’s Science Corner #8
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!There's no "System" on Earth, so delving a dungeon is really only good for loot, which, admittedly is nearly unique on Earth and probably hugely valuable, especially if you have access to a reasonably competent alchemist. A chemist could learn to do a lot with plants and slime cores and whatever else you could pull from a dungeon, but at ...
Grrl Power - Dabbler’s Science Corner #7
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!One more DSC to go then we'll cut back to the story in progress. Things have settled down a bit but there's still lots to do.Max is being pretty unfair to Russia here. Infrastructure and upkeep is not a sexy thing to spend tax dollars on, but it is absolutely critical. I personally find it super embarrassing when a bridge collapses somewhere....
Grrl Power - Dabbler’s Science Corner #6
Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!It's been decided to keep Deus's supposed revelations about the nature of Superpowersmum at the moment, mostly due to the assumed "gold rush" of scientists playing god with live human specimens. Since human DNA is the only known way to interact with the Superion field, there's no animal testing possible, or, really any other labor...
