Grrl Power

I’m trying to move things along here a bit. Don’t necessarily need to show every moment of Sydney going through superhero boot. Fining Sydney $10K for getting 13 million likes would be a little like fining an oil company $100[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

In some ways, Sydney is always the main character wherever she goes because she tends to always be the center of the attention. It’s not an intentional thing she does, but attempts to wean her into a higher level of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

When Peggy says “the course changes” she just means that most of the pop-up targets have either a civvie or bad guy option. The course doesn’t rearrange itself. No Shi’ar tech holo-suite danger room for Arc-SWAT quite yet. I think[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney almost made a joke there about knowing where she could find a spare foot. But she didn’t. Making Sydney watch Seneca run the course is a little like getting Math to teach her martial arts. But sometimes seeing what’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I’m not sure why Sydney didn’t know the time limit before she started the course. I guess Peggy wanted a “pure” run, just to see what would happen. Well, now we know. Honestly there are worse things than Sydney erring[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney has reigned in her worst instincts, but it’s still going to be a long day for her and Peggy. At least Sydney didn’t attempt her dive roll with her gun in her hand. She’s smart enough… well, she’s smart[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney’s training is starting to pick up. I skip over a lot of it, especially the classroom stuff where she’s learning the law end of being a superhero. But with her recent improvements to her aim, they want to see[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

It has been pointed out that Cora and Dabbler are being very careful about technological pollution with the leg, or at least the incubator it’s floating in, while at the same time, Cora granted some pretty high tech glasses to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

This is one of those pages where the Grrl-verse kind of got away from me. I hadn’t ever intended to grant Peggy a new leg, but… for Cora and her level of technology, it’s a trivial fix. They don’t want[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Thongs, Sydney. The ladies wear thongs. Or… at least some of them do. Or… at least they claim to. Those are ziplines coming off the top of the tower, because why wouldn’t there be? Hmm. Not sure what else to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Based on some of the comments, I think some people would have liked to have seen at least one more poker page in order to determine if Sydney is actually good at poker or if she’s a disaster. I kind[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I guess strip poker is on hold while Sydney plays a few hands. She might have her brain in neutral at the moment, but she’d still probably figure out what they were doing the first time someone sells their boxers[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Archon HQ is a bit like the Olympic Village at times. There’s a bunch of super fit people hanging out after hours, and sometimes when the RA/Den Mother is away, sometimes things get sexy. I don’t know if the Olympic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I’m not sure why I felt the urge to do two consecutive panels (coming from the previous page) of Vale and Max giving each other the close stare. I just like drawing large panels and closeups I guess. Actually this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Vale is by far weirdest character I’ve come up with, I think. Her powerset is a little confusing, and we’ve hardly seen her do anything. She seems to be some sort of ectoplasmic… thing, riding around in human shaped exoskeleton?[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I don’t know if DARPA actually has field agents. I suspect they don’t, because it’s not really that kind of an agency. Someone mentioned that the CDC doesn’t have agents either. Most of their field personnel are probably doctors or[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Lorlara is 100% channeling Drax there in panel 2. I actually can’t read that word bubble without hearing it in Dave Bautista’s voice. “Primitive fire stick” is such a douchey “my world has higher tech than your world” thing to say.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

If you think about it, all superheroes (except some vigilantes) are there to maintain the status quo. Galactus playing mini-golf through Manhattan? Call the Avengers. Don’t call the Fantastic Four though. Mr. Fantastic actually argued that Galactus (the guy who[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

On the one hand, Deus may well be a great manipulator. On the other hand, someone who yells the phrase “artful subtlety” in the middle of a classy restaurant might not be the best judge of such things. If Lorlara[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

It seems Maxima’s love affair with Lorlara was short lived. Panel 6: The implied text there is “Gary, I know this looks bad, but do you want to know what I see? An opportunity. For both of us.” This is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

They would deny it because they didn’t. Remember Deus’s shopping trip? I was getting a little bored of drawing Max’s face with her boring bun sitting in the booth, so I tried a close up in those first two panels[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Deus doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who would engage the services of a dominatrix, but as they say, variety is the raised welt on the backside of life. So, I’ve figured out why I like Lorlara so[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So I found some books that I really enjoyed, and I thought I’d make a separate post about them. It’s actually two series, both by the same author, Daniel Schinhofen. The first thing I will tell you is, don’t worry[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I put a little thought into Lorlara’s name. It’s a bit like Arabic names that recount lineage. For example, Alexander Siddig’s full name (Dr. Bashir on DS9) is Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Three hundred billion… over ten years, in case you were wondering. The details might come up on a future page, but in case they don’t, I don’t want you guys thinking Deus is trying to grab half the US’s annual[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I think Maxima ordered Steak Oscar, except instead of Bearnaise sauce, it came with a fancy Hollandaise sauce, and also a side of scallops. Because you know what goes well with Hollandaise sauce? Literally almost anything. It’s just a fuckton[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

There’s probably an upper limit to how good something can taste, right? I mean, electrochemically in your brain. Or maybe there’s an overload state, once your taste neurons are maxed out, the extra levels of “yum” get dumped on your[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yes, I drew Dabbler’s long tongue thrashing around all over Anvil’s cleavage. They’re not directly interacting, but I’m sure Dabbler won’t be offended if you pretend. I modeled Archon’s Mess Dress largely after a Marine I found with a little[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Mo’ai, BTW, is the proper name for those big Easter Island heads. Thought I’d mention it here because I had to look it up. It should be clear from this page, Max has no idea what she wants in a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Another. Yabbos is a good word. I don’t think I’ve heard or read it anywhere in at least a decade though. While Dabbler would like to get Max laid, she understands that it’s not always about flashing the most skin.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Stay safe guys. I feel a little detached from all the disruption since I work from home, but I know this is a super weird time, and a lot of places have moved to quarantine in place protocols because humans[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard this music track. The reason Peggy isn’t manning the gun range today is because I meant to show Sydney’s upgraded glasses the very next time she went shooting, but she[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
