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...

I love seeing people in the comments wondering if Sydney was going to ask about Infernal administrative services when I’ve been planning on Sydney’s mouth question from about the second time I drew this guy like 7 years ago. Sydney[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I’m not sure humans are actually bad a being subjugated. I think that’s western romanticism. Or, specifically American romanticism. We don’t of modern England of being remotely subjugatey, but they did have one of those top 5 empires at one[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Meet Dexon, who has been languishing in the cameo cue for quite a while. Sometimes the character designs are hard to just slip into the comic and have them make sense. I probably could have stuck him in the background[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Battle a giant arch-demon to save Earth from an invasion? Stand off to the side while your co-worker and/or subordinate catches up with an ex in an extremely visceral way? It’s not that Maxima doesn’t enjoy a good fight, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Just to make sure all the text on this page is fully legible, I’m going to post this page over at Patreon so everyone can see the double size version. For some reason, I decided to include two different pages[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Maxima is not often invited to diplomatic events. “They” learned early on that she only has so many knuckles to crack. Assuming Tom is 90 feet tall, he would weigh… (one quick googling later) Huh. Not nearly as much as[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The problem with someone who speaks in 18 point monster font is that you can only fit so much per page. I’ll probably have to lower his volume quickly. (For reference, the normal dialog font is 6.5 point.) Tamer: Enhancer[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Customs Agent: Reason for your visit to our dimension, Sir? Thothogoth: Telling off an Ex. Customs Agent: I see. I will expedite your processing forthwith. Some book recommendations The Laundry Files – A lot of people might know this as[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

This may shock you, but Dabbler’s been around. Yes, it’s the return of the dumb joke from page 77. (And 92. And 200. I still stand by that Status Quola joke. That makes me laugh to this day.) Started of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Ever since being given this opportunity, Vehemence has been legitimately going back and forth as to whether or not he was going to behave. After being handed such a one sided defeat, and seeing Sydney in such a good mood[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sydney probably could have just hunkered down in her shield and let Kevin just blast away at it, then maybe juggle him around with the lighthook, but she felt this would be a whole lot more demoralizing. Tamer: Enhancer 2[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I know it’s been established that Dabbler has a wind spell, but it’s centered on her and jumping into that melee is not advisable. Dabbler can probably track what’s going on. As I mentioned on the last page, I don’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I had to draw a slightly less involved page to make up for the previous monster one. I can’t decide if Arianna would go for this or not. The boob letterboxing there would increase the views, but she’s not of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Max is just having fun with this. It’s not often she gets to cut lose. She can spar with Hiro and Stalwart, and while most supers heal faster than your stock human, they could still wind up being laid out[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Vehemence must be really bored in prison to stop in a middle of a fight and play ball with Maxima here. Without at least a trickle of violence, he starts getting full body restless leg syndrome, and that’s just for[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I know what the title of the page is, and this isn’t technically chip damage, but Max is exploring the deterrent factor. That or she’s just going to make him mad. Vehemence’s line on this page makes me think of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yeah, he just got punched through a cliff two pages ago, but I think this would hurt more. He’s used to getting punched and slamming into things. This is almost certainly a new pain for him, if not an entirely[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
