Grrl Power #666 – Demon stuff!
I hadn’t planned on cutting away from the battle again, but someone pointed out that page 666 was coming up, and I knew I had to do something featuring Dabbler. (Even though the actual number of the beast is 616 but someone translating something one day decided 666 was punchier and just changed it. It’s almost like the whole thing was made up or something.) If I can figure out how, I’ll bump page 663 up to 665, so the pages cutting into the battle scene will be back to back.
Anyway, back to this page. Dabbler’s apron isn’t censored for the sake of the comic, it’s supposed to be actually printed that way, so anyone looking at it in real life would see that Japanese mosaic effect and will fill in dirty stuff to the limit of their imagination. Imagine it was a picture of a tentacle, or a picture of two butts touching, if you’re Tina Belcher, or a picture of a ▛▓▞▓▚▛.
As the commander of the team, Maxima should probably be a little more stoic, and not wandering around the base at 3:00 am in her pajamas. She’s obviously taken a sort of motherly shine to Sydney, and is frustrated she can’t punch this problem in the face to fix it.

Regarding Rev. 13:18 (“The Devil”) — See my article titled “Dracula: Quite a Card!” on The Hermetic Library website. The article, among other related things, correlates Dracula with the Tarot card designated “The Devil” . . . through a systematic numerological process.
Dear GRRL POWER: Greetings once again! There is only one manuscript that dates from the llth century a.d. that cites the number for the beast of Rev. 13:18 as ‘665’. Generally scholars propose that this number is based upon a mis-spelling of Nero’s name. However, this is an example of the ‘RULE OF COLEL’.
“I’m just here for the cookies”
We know you are, Anvil. Although honestly, who wouldn’t want a cookie-sense as a superpower?
OMG, I totally missed the “Dragon Half” reference in the author’s note at the bottom of the page. Just like everyone else.
