Grrl Power #1050 – The one with the list
Deus: We’re the two most attractive people in any room. Max: You wildly overestimate yourself. Deus: I notice you didn’t disagree about your comeliness. Max: I know what I look like. Deus: Pamela Anderson crossed with Xena. Max: … }sigh{[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1049 – Proposing better worlds
I came up with Deus’s comment that “Evil always has the advantage of being more proactive” as I wrote this page and I think it’s probably true, because I think there’s a limit to how proactive ‘good’ can be. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1048 – Limitful cosmic power
This will definitely end well, I’m sure of it. It’s weird to think, but Thothogoth doesn’t actually have a massive need for bars of gold. Since demons/devils/fiends are starfaring species in the Grrl-verse, then it stands to reason that basic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1047 – Deployment abroaaaad
Ah, quite a few semi-centennials/quinquagenarians out there (plus or minus a few years anyway). Thanks for also being alive at roughly the same time as me, and saying so. Also thanks to everyone else for being the age you are.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1046 – Four on the force field
In panel three, Dabbler really means that altering someone’s mind without their consent is illegal. Super powers are new enough to the public that things like psychiatrists with mental powers aren’t really a thing yet. There’s definitely been uses for[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1045 – Return of the Attack of the Boobs!
Sydney will eventually gain a +1 resistance to this attack given the frequency of her exposure to it. Parfait is about three weeks past her 18th birthday, FYI. Young and inexperienced, but not so young that it’s icky. Dabbler has[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1044 – Familial foibles
I apologize for my terrible spanish. This page should answer any questions about what’s going on here, in case you weren’t up to speed, or, you know, have just forgotten some of the details of a webcomic from 5 months[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1043 – Two lates don’t make an on time
Terre is short for terremoto, which is Portuguese for Earthquake. Oh, and since I can’t keep her hair consistent, I guess the blue coloring is dynamically swirling about. I guess the crowds watching the match dispersed quickly. Actually that makes[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1042 – A pelvic victory
As I was drawing this page, it occurred to me it’s really weird that they didn’t introduce themselves before the fight. Anytime supers are going to have an exhibition match, there would definitely have to be a discussion about power[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1041 – Shortstop
Smash cut to action! I guess all cuts are smash cuts really. Well, unless it’s a dissolve or a star wipe, or one of those PowerPoint “a bunch of tiles flip over” transitions. It’s a good rule of thumb that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1040 – Benevolish
The stinger is supposed to be a goof, but as I was deciding what to put there, I started thinking about if it was just a flippant statement or if it was remotely accurate. I won’t bore you with suggesting[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1039 – High Int, middling comedy stat
Yes, they’re drinking Louis XIII cognac over ice. I guess Deus is actually evil. Look, I’ve never been a big drinker. I didn’t know that was bad. I like my drinks cold unless I’m specifically after something hot on a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1038 – Superion, PhD
Poor Maxima. Her job description mostly involves puching stuff, but as a Lt. Colonel, she also has to spend time listening to people talk. Presumably there’s some paperwork as well, but she’s been known to delegate that. Deus hearing himself[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1037 – Rough(ly equivalent) trade
I imagine two billion dollars is an easier sell if it’s mostly in backhoes, cement mixers, and those asphalt Zamboni trains that resurfaces roads all in one go. Even though a bank transfer (or however massive inter-country transactions take place)[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1036 – The unseen… tentacle?
Well, I’m glad everyone enjoyed my math screw up on the previous page. I’ll have to come up with something a little more sensible since what I actually came up with was a number large enough to include every protein[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1035 – Keymaster race
Mele Kalikimaka had been stuck in my head for a week. I apologize if I earwormed anyone else. In reality, anything involving four possible entries would never give you good security options. (Because there’s only four nucleotides found in DNA?)[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1034 – Rationym
Getting to dunk on your super smart friend is always gratifying. At least Dabbler isn’t usually a know it all, unlike that one friend most people have had at one point in their lives who is convinced they’re an expert[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1033 – Field of Supers
The universe is like a onion lasagna, see? Or a 7-layer dip. Actually, a 20+ layer dip. Except instead of layers it’s fields, and the fields all overlap and intersect. So it’s like a 20+ layer dip in a 4-dimensional[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1032 – Physics 501
Man, I really hope I got the physics close to right on this. It’s definitely not obvious, Dabbler. I watched a video on the Electroweak Force, and… basically didn’t understand anything. (I might have been half paying attention and browsing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1031 – Arm wrestlonyms
I went to look up a bunch of funny euphemisms for arm-wresting assuming there’d be a big list somewhere, but apparently it’s pretty much just called “arm wrestling.” It used to be called arm turning or wrist turning or wrist[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1030 – Wing Woman and the Forklift
It’s not show clearly on this page, but that guy is carrying a palette with a big water tank on it. Or maybe it’s fry oil for the mess. Doesn’t matter, it’s like a 300 gallon tank and if it’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1029 – Sticker shock
The discussion in panel 2 is entirely predicated on the crew of that gunship not returning fire. If I was them, I’d toss a flare into the gas tank of that pickup and dive down the side of the hill[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1028 – Nope field
You would think that force fields would change warfare considerably, but honestly I think at most they would cause a fairly temporary disruption. The first ironclads and tanks probably had a few months of feeling pretty invincible, but really all[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1027 – 1:1 Scale
Yeah, dams and giant shipping container boats don’t really mix. It’s not like you have to get the boats into the middle of a country for them to be useful, but the closer you can get to where you want[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1026 – Earl Gray, hot!
There’s a fair amount to talk about on this page, but all I want to do is talk about the benefits of bubble mail. Sure, the AC is bad. Like, if the wind blows, the armor starts to disappear. But[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1025 – Military industrial simple
Maxima obviously did some googling before her visit. Certainly hit up the wikipedia page for Mozambique at the very least. Deus feels that the major problems with your typical supervillain plan are threefold. One, the plans are of such scale[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1024 – A squeaky clean leader
To quote Agent K, “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.” I assume that line is paraphrased from some ancient philosopher or sociologist, because I think it may be the single smartest sentence[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1023 – One nation under new administration…
Sydney: “I’m not leaving this country until I learn to curse in Xhosa, Chiktr, Alar, Makhuwa, Changana, Nyanja, Ndau, Sena, Chwabo, and Tswa.” (She already knows how to curse in Portuguese.) Mozambique’s “non-surrender” was largely due not just to a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1022 – Pressed to impress
This page was supposed to show Deus working out alongside a bunch of soldiers, and I kind of started to do that there in panel 3, but in my head, there was like a line twenty deep behind him and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1021 – The family tree contains several mobius branches
I guess Sydney was excited to learn that she had a great-times-5 grandparent who was a native Maltan. She’s been keeping that one in her back pocket for years in case she needed to trump someone else’s genealogy tale. No[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1020 – I dream of genealogy
Don’t worry, this isn’t another ten page tangent on Dabbler’s genealogy. (It’s two, I promise.) I bet a lot of doppelgangers are like “I bet it’s awesome being king.” but about three weeks after replacing one, they’re bummed out by[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Grrl Power #1019 – Rosetta brain
The important thing to take away from this page is that, yes, the Alari have ass-sculpting technology. A hundred and thirty languages is a lot. It’s one of those figures I could probably justify by reminding everyone that she’s a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1018 – The troll under the extol bridge
Should that be “abject exemplification?” Honestly it works either way. Object = a tangible thing. Abject = the lowest example of. Oh, English. The “he’s a supervillain because he mercilessly crushed his opposition” joke doesn’t… quite ring true for me,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Tamer: Enhancer 2
I wrote another book! Have a sequel! Wow, almost two years to the day since the first book. Well, still faster than some of the pros, eh? This book is a bit longer, at 210K words. The first book was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1017 – Nants ingonyama!
I’m not pleased with how this page turned out, because it’s mostly backgrounds, and I’m disappointed with my results. Backgrounds take so much longer to draw than I ever allocate. The Alari ship is barely just past the draft stage.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1016 – Have a nice trip, see you next regime fall
Is it rude to tell a succubus that teal might not be her color? I thought it’d be funny to see Dabbler casually cosplaying as the 11th Countess of Abbingdon, but honestly the teal top doesn’t quite play well with[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1015 – Shock and brimstone
Yeah, everyone called it. Who else would have been calling Tom? Deus enjoys stacking the deck. Also counting the cards, bribing the dealer, and telling the guy across the table that his mom gives great blow-jobs, and also replacing his[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1014 – The Zambezi high club
An odd page, admittedly, but things are happening on the other side of the Earth. I didn’t write this page intending to dump on Mozambique, but I had to decide where Galytn actually was, and based on other higher altitude[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1013 – The Faketrix
If you can make copies of yourself, there’s a lot of mischief you can get up to. Harem has customized all her dupes with dye jobs, haircuts and tattoos in some cases, but there was a time when she had[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1012 – Between 0 and 6 Harems walk into a bar…
This is a page that I really didn’t want to split into two, but I couldn’t fit everything on one page and I just couldn’t make it a double cause I’m still trying to get caught up after Xmas. (The[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1011 – Occupations and hazards
One might be tempted to think that working in entertainment, the two less mature Scovilles would have no excuse to not know what Ma Scoville’s job is, but just because she works in the entertainment industry, it doesn’t mean she’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
Grrl Power #1010 – Apocalypse watch
Leon and Zephan are both thinking “just hire some fish researchers and slip one of our own guys in the group” or coral researchers or marine geologists or whatever. FYI, a “fish researcher” is an ichthyologist, but a guy who[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
