These action pages don't always leave a lot to talk about. Vehemence tries to punch Ren, Ren hits first, blows are exchanged, V gets knocked through a cliff. Okay, that's a little more interesting.

I've called Ren's power super adrenaline, and that's basically...

Patron Kizik Ucalegon suggested "Redline" for Ren, and think that fits him pretty good. I'm sure Sydney will accidentally call him Renline a few times.

You know your job is weird when your boss kicking you from an eighty foot cliff is not grounds for a HR complaint.

Ren, for those of you who don't recall, has "Super Adrenaline." He's trying to avoid the Supranym "The Black Hulk" because, well, he doesn't turn...

The luckiest dehydrated man

So, Dabbler and Jabberwokky are... 'dating' is a strong word. Hooking up. 

Math and Varia have hooked up in the past.

I think I said it before when Jabberwokky was first introduced, but it's been a while. She has a super weird power. She has basically any power or set of powers she wants, so long as she can justify them thematically. Usually that comes in the form of animal based k...

There's an extended fight scene going on while Dabbler is prompting Sydney for details. I thought about putting in a bunch of PUNCH, BIFF, ZORG, ETC sfx at the bottom of each panel but decided it looked cluttered.

No smash cut for Maxima. If for no other reason, they used up the most of the choker's charge while they were futzing with the enchantment. She'll have to wait a bit for it to recharged before she can take it out for a drive.

I do hope everyone gets what Sydne...

Cora might be a space whatever-the-opposite-of-a-puritan is, but even that caught her off guard. (Anvil is currently 28.)

Sydney is wandering around the room demanding what the last pop-culture thing they said was. It's inefficient.

I'm sure everyone can come up with a bevy of other songs Harem might "solo," especially with a few choice altered lyrics. You's and She's into Me's, etc. A few that pop to mind: I Touch Myself, Afternoon Delight, etc. Yeah, Harem makes no secret of her Suisapphism. ...

(NSFW) Mystery Hexarmed Lady

Okay, so, I didn't visit my parents for Christmas last year because of the pandemic, instead we went down last month during summer break. It's about a 4 hour drive each way, plus I had to actually, you know, interact with them and not just ignore them and not work the whole time. Bottom line is I lost about 3 days of work, because try as I might, I just can't draw while riding in a car. Like, at best I could flat a page with the paint bucket, and even then I miss 1 out of three times...

This is why I suddenly had to start doing the specular pass on Maxima, otherwise the choker would look like it actually added shininess to her. Max isn't, or I should say wasn't, medium-brown haired before the whole gold-plated phase. Dabbler just took a best g...
