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...

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! (produces fleshlight from hammerspace) Dabbler: Allez! (sword fencing noises, but instead of that, it's[...] Read the rest of this entry...

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...

I bet you want to know who won? I kind of want to leave the question open, but... Math did lose," in the sense that he eventually got pinned. But only after taking on four experienced adventurers/fighters that out weighed/strength/reached[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Alari, have a superiority complex concerning basically every other race. Most sapient species are probably going to have some degree of that. It's hard to say since humans living all alone on our spinning hunk of dirt don't have any[...] 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...

Not the most surprising turn of events, admittedly. Math was like let me look at some anatomy charts for youse guys so I don't accidentally explode your appendoid, or your vom deference, or your pancreatic couscous , or your cumulonimbus[...] 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...

Very select, eagle-eyed readers may have noticed a slight shift in the art on today's page. (I'll pause here for you to go reexamine it in case you missed it.) The important point being that if you noticed on your[...] Read the rest of this entry...

If Sciona could figure out a way to package her toe sparkles and sell them in dime bags, she'd be rich. Also, I assume there's some gap between a new drug hitting the street and it being declared illegal, especially[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Doc Chevy is super interested in Frix's Tissue Recombobulator. Her powers accelerate the body's natural repair mechanisms, but she's become about 8x more effective with her abilities since she got her doctorate. She's trained as a trauma surgeon, but her[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Obviously Jabber takes the shape of her body and center of gravity into account when doing all her Hi-Keebas, but even though her chest has more weight than Sydney's, it's not like she's swinging around a pair of kettlebells. You[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Yay! Back to Sydney and crew! A few quick explanations. Sydney is practicing keeping the orbs off to the side somewhere as there will probably be situations where they can get in the way while orbiting her head. Such as[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Hagfish are revolting. Just go to youtube and search it. Just for fun, here's a snippet from Wikipedia; Hagfish can exude copious quantities of a milky and fibrous slime or mucus, from specialized slime glands. When released in seawater, the[...] Read the rest of this entry...

They're speaking Chinese, BTW. I forgot to put the <brackets> around their dialog. I have no idea what the symbol on the carpet says. It could be praise for Puyi, the last emperor of China. It could also say carpet."[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney's Law of Might-as-Well-Have-Been Intended Consequences states that a superheroine in her civvy disguise tagging along on a first responder's call will absolutely cause the situation to escalate, forcing her to choose between revealing her identity, doing nothing (which is[...] Read the rest of this entry...

If sitcoms have have taught us anything (and I will admit that an alarming amount of my knowledge comes from similar sources) it's that firefighters and police have cartoonish rivalries. What would you ask a stunt person? A stunter, if[...] Read the rest of this entry...

(Sorry about the delay in getting the page up but the hosting site has some issues last night. Enjoy!) I guess Harper" passes! And not in a way that involves tucking. I'm making a drag reference here, people. I mean[...] Read the rest of this entry...

There's a variant of the Shelby GT500, made or tweaked or... I'm not sure how all that works... Anyway the tweak is by a company called Hennessey, who I guess does car... stuff? But their version has between 1,000 and[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I did start writing the actual smash cut page to see what the bad guys" are up to, but as I was working on it I realized I wasn't quite sure where it was going, so I decided to do[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney's comment about bisexting was legitimately a typo, then instead of fixing it, I was like, No, I can totally see Sydney saying that. No idea what she was thinking about at the time, or what bisexting might actually be,[...] Read the rest of this entry...

In case you don't recall, Detla was duped into joining Lapha's band of mercenaries when she tried to abduct Maxima the first time. At least that's her story, but despite a slightly creepy sounding race name, Dabbler thinks Stygans are[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I mean, if you do have to hide a bomb somewhere... Well, okay, if there is such a place as a museum of famous movie bombs, that would almost seem to be too obvious a place to stick it. I[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Dabbler's stash probably looks like a 20 year WoW* veteran's stash, ready to outfit any new toon of any class from level 1-99** with uniques and set items, but also neato rares and honestly a lot of trash, because she[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Not really sure what all to say about this page. Tenri goes to demon college and hangs out with demons and other exotic beings, but this is really the first time she's been tangled up in intrigue of this scale.[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Gellen is supposed to look like a (very tall, buff) yaoi pretty boy, but man, I am not practiced at drawing that. I've talked extensively about money in a post scarcity society, and generally came to the conclusion that the[...] Read the rest of this entry...
