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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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.[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

The exception to exotic skin colors applied to pre-sexy people is that baby-shit yellow color that 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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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,[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

It's been decided to keep Deus's supposed revelations about the nature of Superpowers mum 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[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I personally wouldn't deal with any company that offered a la carte insurance on my body. If the core function of their business isn't we keep your body completely safe and healthy while you enjoy our rental bio-surrogates" then you[...] Read the rest of this entry...

The return of Dabbler's science corner! It's been... geeze, 10 years? Probably should have slipped a few more of those in there along the way. I didn't want to interrupt Peggy's flashback, but I had a sudden time crunch, and[...] Read the rest of this entry...

In case it wasn't clear, I don't know anything about fishing. Like terminology-wise. I'm sure most of you don't either, but the one guy who does would definitly be all Akshually, you'd only use that on a downwind cast." or[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Designated Marksman Rifles are designed to be effective around 800 meters. Plus or minus a bit depending on the actual rifle. Proper" sniper rifles start at about 800 meters as well, but it can depend on what they're chambered for.[...] Read the rest of this entry...

As far as I can tell, a Pave Hawk is basically the same thing as a Blackhawk, just with a different loadout? But I decided on the Pave Hawk based on my deep military knowledge, AKA I googled what helicopters[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Dabbler: Question my ability to attach things to other things, do you? Engarde! (produces giant, floppy dildo from hammerspace) Cora: Indeed I do, scurrilous trollop! Pret!

Dabbler knows medical stuff. She can do stitches, set a bone, mix up some alchemical nonsense to soothe a burn, even whip up a variety of healing potions. Reattaching a limb? Brain surgery? Organ transplants? It's not like she can't[...] Read the rest of this entry...

You see, it's like the Odd Couple, except one of them is like My Favorite Martian, and the other is a relentlessly ravenous amoeboid covered in eyeballs and teeth. I speak of course of Pirpo the Enlightened Loves Azbblethog the[...] Read the rest of this entry...

You silly primitives and your lack of advanced space medicine. Just invent advanced space medicine already, geeze! Is it so hard? What are you waiting for? Blowing off a supervillain's leg when there's a very good chance that it[...] Read the rest of this entry...

This page was intended to move things forward a bit more, but then I got distracted by the idea that these four a sort of on a double date. I mean, not really, but they are kind of acting like[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Presumably, if you have a really good translator with all the extra options, you can move your holo-mouth around, like how Garamm is offsetting his there in panel 7. And clearly that sets up all sorts of possibilities for sexual[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I had to re-write half of this page moments before posting, because I watched (part of) Trigun like, 25-ish years ago, and I did not remember most of the significant things that appear in the wiki when I went to[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I accidentally drew that apple way too realistically. You'd think that trying to steal my body" would put Lapha on The List" (which come to think of it, we haven't seen in quite a while) but, Sydney also has a[...] Read the rest of this entry...

We cut away from the fight since it's not going to be, as at least one reader complained, a 30-episode chocked-full of flashback Naruto style fight. Honestly I tried to watch Naruto once upon a time, and I just couldn't[...] Read the rest of this entry...

The true measure of a martial artist is how quickly you adapt to getting kicked in the face because your opponent has bendy bones. No doubt Math has blocked hundreds of swings at his face, and is very secure in[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Maxima allows an absolutely non-military amount of casual interaction on her team. In fact most people who start reading the comic even a few hundred pages back might not realize that Arc-SWAT is a military outfit at all. Or know[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Imagine onid kids playing dodgeball in middle school, only they play it with rocks because they're a hardy race, then some kid gets clocked in the fun-knee bone and has to spend the next hour with a tingly stiffy. It's[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Math is one of those guys who punches iron bowl full of hot gravel every morning. The skin on his knuckles and the back of his fingers is like the sole of an elephant's foot. He also does a bunch[...] Read the rest of this entry...

In reality, I don't actually know how much of a speed advantage the smaller guy has in a fight. Overall mass is probably more of a factor. A chonky 5' fighter vs a 6' 4'' lanky dude? I suppose fighting[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Math decided he wanted to fight a bunch of professional Space Marshall Adventurer Mercenaries who all have at least a foot on him. Taking bets! Cora thought 3 to 1 in favor of her boys was fair, but Dabbler thinks[...] Read the rest of this entry...
