Don’t point at your commanding officer, Sydney, or j’accuse her of stuff. Maxima is a ridiculously lax officer when it comes to discipline… I mean, honestly, there probably aren’t any actual military officers who are as casual as her in the real world. Unless, I don’t know, does Tahiti have a standing army? You got to figure if they do, their officer corps are either super hardcore intense to make up for a self-perceived threat deficiency, or they’re super laid back, because the only invasions Tahiti suffers from is bachelorette parties. I mean, modern day Tahiti. I’m sure a lot of wooden-ship naval battles happened over it back in the yore.

Okay, so, I know I could have googled “does Tahiti have an army” before I wrote all that, but then I wouldn’t have written all that. It turns out that Tahiti is part of French Polynesia, and they do in fact have an army. Also an air force and navy.

In related news, I just learned where Tahiti is. Because, yes, I am a dumb geographocentric American. It’s just never come up before. I had a vague notion that Tahiti was an island off the western coast of Mexico or Costa Rica or the like. It is… just 4,800 miles further than I thought.

Anyway, back to my point. If Sydney ever gets lent to another branch for whatever reason, she will probably immediately go to the brig or push-up jail, and come back to the team with swole triceps.

B.H. stands for “Behavioral Health,” BTW. They’re like the military counselor corps, I guess. And I like to think they all wear V-necks that are all slightly off-center.

In German, sharpshooter is scharfschützin for the feminine, and scharfschütze for the masculine, so, Peggy was close. I don’t think “schvartzen” is actually a word in German. “Schvartze” is apparently an offensive Yiddish term for a black person. But “Schwarzenegger” means “black plowman.” That’s “Schwarzen” and “egger,” not “Schwarze” and “negger,” in case you were wondering. “Egger” literally means “male plower.” So Peggy inadvertently called herself a “black shooter.” Which, could be interpreted in a few ways, including something like a ninja sniper, which is Peggy’s preferred interpretation. At least when her translation error is pointed out to her.

I don’t normally explain the page titles, because hopefully there’s usually no need, or occasionally it’s some oblique reference that amuses me and I don’t care if anyone else gets it. But today’s… So Tätowierung is German for tattoo, and naut… I’m actually not sure that it actually means anything on its own. I was actually under the impression that “juggernaut” meant literally either “fear-not” or “stop-not” but I can’t find any etymological backup for that. Apparently the word comes from Sanskrit – Jagannātha, meaning jagat (world) and nātha (lord), and is one of the names of Krishna. So… given Peggy’s misuse of German on the page and my own misunderstanding of the “naut” in “Juggernaut,” I thought “tattoo-not” would be an appropriate page title. Except it only means that to the me of several minutes before actually googling the etymology of Juggernaut, and I figured very few other people would be able to put that together. Because Peggy lost the tattoo along with her foot, see? I hope that part didn’t need an explanation, but sometimes I think ADHD minds are like murder boards, and you have to take the Limitless pill to see all the yarn.

Any guesses on what Peggy’s ankle tattoo was? I’m asking because I’ve never actually drawn her with her leg intact. I think. She might have had both legs in a single flashback panel with Maxima about to do a keg stand… I don’t recall. But she definitely would have had long pants and boots on in that panel. Maybe a “don’t tread on me” snake wrapped around her ankle? I’m not sure how much Peggy is into colonial slogans. Though having that snake wrapped around the ankle and go under the foot to the sole would be… ironic and I’m not sure what else. Getting the bottom of your foot tattooed seems like a poor choice, but I guess if you can keep off of it for at least two weeks it’d probably be okay. If I was into that I’d get a big black circle about an inch and a half across under my heel so I looked like a G.I. Joe action figure.

Yeah, I know I promised an updated vote incentive. I’m really trying to get something done for you guys, I promise.

The new vote incentive is up!

Dabbler went somewhere tropical, in a very small bikini. As you might guess, it doesn’t stay on for long, which of course, you can see over at Patreon. Also she has an incident with “lotion,” and there’s a bonus comic page as well.

Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
