Grrl Power #1472 – Impaleus interruptus
Gosh guys, what could suddenly cause Ixah to rush off?
- My table at Vicente’s is ready!
- I have a roast in the oven!
- I left the curling iron on!
- I have to go bet more money that I’m about to stab this guy!
- My brother just went into labor! (Max doesn’t have a sister, so…)
- The warranty on this sword is about to expire!
- I could have had a V8! (Yes, I’m old.)
- There’s a tiny lizard on the sand behind you! Eek!
- Damn! I think I left my ear in the taxi! (See… cause Max is touching where her ear should be, but her disguise covers her ears completely with hair. Ah, yes. Jokes are always better when explained.)
You know, the number of comics I’ve titled “Something something interruptus” is like… well, it’s like 3 or 4 I think. But I guess that still kind of makes it my go to for titling a page when I’m stuck for something more poignant. Then again, a lot of pages do end in some sort of minor cliffhanger. I really wouldn’t even call something like this a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger implies there’s some significant wait before the action resolves. You can end a movie or a TV show or a novel or even an issue of a comic with a cliffhanger. But not on a page within a comic, or, in my opinion, the scene in a TV show right before you cut to commercial. I’m sure there’s a word for that, but I don’t think it qualifies as “cliffhanger,” especially when the season is available on DVD and viewers can watch the episode straight through. I mean, yeah, in this webcomic, there will be a 4 day delay until the next page, but any time after that, someone can just read straight through the archive and this page won’t have a bit of suspense.
Not that it really does, anyway. I think most of you can probably guess what’s going on.
Final version is up, both at TWC and Patreon.
Sexy bodymod news lady Gail has a special one-on-one interview with Tournament Quarter finalist Saraviah Nightwing! And if you subscribe to Gail’s Space Patreon, (which, due to the vagaries of Earth and Gal-Net’s DNS servers, happens to be the same as the Grrl Power Patreon, go figure) you can see that same interview in the nude!
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
Is work calling?
Guess were calling the tournament arch early, oh well
I forgot my date with Mr. Moustachio Firefighter EMT.
My guess is “doing that will cause the living explosion to ho nuclear”, so Maxima is running out of the blast radius.
Blue here literally wasting away waiting for this steak to reach his mouth for half an hour now
I bet it is a new steak each time.
I would guess that she somehow got a call from home and needs to intervene even if it throws the tournament bets into the sink?
This makes me think of several things.
One is that an opponent is emotionally hurt when he’s in a fight and suddenly “you’re no longer of any importance” left alone.
The other one is a “top gear” level cliffhanger, like the ones with Richard Hammond.
“After the commercial you can see if i drown or not”
OMG, THE SUSPENCE, I CAN’T STAND IT!
(Something is wrong with Maxi’s sword, so she has gone to swap it out for another one.)
I mean, seriously, wait the whole weekend, again? Not like the good old days when I first started reading ☢️GRRLpower. It took months to catch up to the latest pages. Can I get some 3D-printed steak while we wait?
Pit Stop.
90 seconds to return to the match?
Is she out or just out of this round?
Can she catch up if she’s several laps behind?
Thats a clear case of a Harem interlink call, as in something is cooking way back home.
My guess would be something Dungeon related, since it was toyed with after all.
It also could be:
1. Evidence of Sconia still being around.
2. That interdimensional hatter might have called for a meet and … grind.
3. Stellar investigators started sniffing through earth orbit ( again ), as a follow up of “Do you know this blue powerhouse ?”
She was planning to use a non-lethal sword that would knock the opponent out, but noticed it was set to “kill” instead of “stun” and is running across the galaxy to Xuriel real quick to reconfigure it
