Grrl Power

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The title of the page is a joke, but… seriously. Wouldn’t supers probably need to have some sort of insurance fund set up in case they accidentally elbowed someone through a wall, or turned them to stone, or extincted an[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Okay. If I was reading some comic and it took 1,000 pages for them to get around to “where did you get your amazing MacGuffins,” that would strike me as an oversight both on the characters’ part, and the authors.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

This page took a long time to lay out, cause I really wanted to include some dialog that I finally cut for space. Sydney starts off by saying “Didn’t Napoleon or Himmler or someone say…” and Arianna responds with “Sydney,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Obviously Cora launched that FTL Comm Relay. Otherwise that conversation with Frix would have taken thirty years. I’m not sure conflating Terrans with super powers and mass stupidity in the minds of the alien public is going to be a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

This page sponsored by any of you still up in the air about which parent Sydney takes after. Also… everyone at Patreon… look it was supposed to be a joke to justify a page about Syd Sr. drifting away mid[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yeah, it’s no surprise that Dad was the larger influence on Sydney. More on that soon. Lots of talk about genetics under the last page. And yes, I know brunette hair plus blond hair doesn’t necessarily equal dirty blonde, or[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yes, of course we’ll meet Sydney Sr. in just a bit, but he’s probably getting autographs or something. Sydney got in trouble a fair amount growing up, and her and her mom eventually developed this disciplinarian semaphore so Laura could[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yeah, I know, this is probably not correct procedure. We should all accept that I will get the military stuff… adjacent. And don’t worry about the ribbons too much. I cribbed Maxima’s from some Air Force Colonel’s photo I found[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

This scene wrapped up a lot sooner than I’d planned, because I wanted to shift gears in time for page 1000, so there are still succubus related questions in the aether. I’ll probably revisit the topic after we’ve gotten a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I was trying so hard to trim this tale down to the basics but then in panel 4 I couldn’t help stick in a joke about… I guess it’s about ableism? Sort of? There’s absolutely a need to be aware[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Panel 1: It checks out because now he knows an appreciative succubus. It’s going to vary from fantasy-verse to fantasy-verse, but putting someone under a geas to “Deliver this to the king” versus “See that the king receives this” may[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Other methods to detect succubi – Submerge them in baby oil… then have them wrestle home team slave girls Or (sexy young) nuns. Do demons melt when they get wet? Liberally spraying all suspected succubi while they wear thin white[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

These pages are a bit more challenging to draw than the standard talking heads page. I write them to convey the tale Dabbler is relaying, then when I’m laying out the page and the word bubbles, I realize I don’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

That first guy definitely knew what he was doing. So, Frankenstein(‘s monster). Zombie? Flesh golem? Resurrected abomination? If one could reconstruct corpse parts without any external tell-tale signs, then give it the ‘ol lightning treatment, and that guy goes in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Succubi are usually thought of as dream demons, but at least in my little corner of the fantasy-verse, their origins are somewhat more… humble. And as with many typical succubus things, Dabbler didn’t specialize in the dream stuff. She can[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sure, “Fiend” is not a direct equivalent because “Baby Eater” is far too specific. Fiend is more of an umbrella catch-all for half and quarter demon/devil mixes, plus assorted other miscellaneous Infernals. Demons, even during their wardeathdoom phase, are sociologically[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Dabbler telling Sydney about Astral nasties. I think coming up with made up names is a skill like drawing or… I don’t know, throwing axes. I used to get really stuck when making up weird fantasy words, like all I’d[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
