Grrl Power

No, Leon didn’t just summon tech support. I really wanted to title this page “Zulu Zulu Zulu” because I am almost positive there is some scene in some movie or TV show somewhere in which someone sends that message, and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Getting cornered by a succubus at a party is like “Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Orgasms?” They might not phrase it quite like that, but you can bet the conversation will eventually veer[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Four hours of flying and blasting is a pretty good workout for Max. It actually pushed her limits really hard at the time, and took her a few days to recover. Firing off about 900 energy blasts in that time[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Instead of sticking her head in the sand, Maxima is sticking herself in, uh… his head, which is made of sand. So… aphorisms. Does this count as a gritty reboot, because she’s fought this guy before and, you know… sand?[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I wanted the sound effect on that explosion to be reminiscent of those concussion fireworks, the ones that just boom without any razzle dazzle. Honestly those are my favorite, but I’ve always enjoyed joint rattling bass. Generally when those go[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I know it wasn’t obvious from the prior page, but the incoming helis lobbed like a dozen missiles all at once. The thought being to overwhelm unknown and probably pretty advanced defenses. You know what they say, “You miss every[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Dabbler: “One big shield is too much work, but I can mass produce these little ones that last a tenth of a second.” Foreman: “We need something watertight.” Dabbler: “Oh. That sounds boring. I’m going to make these instead.” Foreman:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

If you plant the mini-bananas, would they grow mini-banana trees? Trick question! Bananas don’t have seeds! That’s weird to think about – all bananas are seedless. At least the modern commercially available banana is seedless. That and we’re one banana[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Possibly related to today’s page. BTW, the 4th panel says “Dead am I? So much the better.” Or at least that’s what Google translate told me. People can actually read it have said… “Eh… pretty close, actually.” Please ignore all[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Some mixed opinions on Deus’s extra-judicial cleanup crew for the last comic, though we can see here that Deus does have some fairly strong feelings on the nature of thresholds, vis-à-vis innocence. The thing is, while Vale isn’t… entirely capricious[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

And just when some of you started coming around on Deus. Of course, some of you might like him more now as well. BTW the conversation in the post beneath the previous comic was totally canon. I started off this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
