Grrl Power #85 – Wild imaginings. Hopefully.
Welp, tube’s open. See you next week!
Hah hah no. I swear I’m not trying to jerk you guys around with the tube, this is just how it happened in my head, and that’s pretty much what I’ve run with so far. I’ve always said that since I can’t draw this fast, I’d work towards having a fun ride along the way and also toward making the archive dive a good read. So before anyone gets too bent out of shape, the proper reveal is next week, I promise. That being said, this is everyone’s last chance to read up on pre-open Grrl Power, so share it around on Facebook/Twitter etc. Starting to read the comic at next Monday’s page would take some of the excitement out of the build up. I wish I had time to do a dedicated “what’s in the tube” Project Wonderful campaign.
In fact this week’s comic is actually page #86. I couldn’t fit everything I wanted on this page, the only solution would be to break it into 2 separate pages, but that would have meant doing 3 pages with cliffhanger endings, and that would officially make me a dick. Page #84.5 got partially done, but I realized there was nothing actually critical happening on it, it was just a lot of jokes so I decided to skip it.
So is Maxima afraid of cats?
That would be…interesting.
I think the shrink has read too much Stephen King. ( If I spelled that wrong, it’s because its 7:20 in my time zone.)
That’s a bit more Lovecraftian, eh?
Honestly my first thought was on his was ‘Invasion of the Bodysnatchers’. . .
I honestly had a dream involving the psych’s thought…Didn’t sleep for days because I thought that would happen
I wish I had a tube full of Lovecraftian Horror…
Could’ve sworn that was called a penis.
NIce one; but that’s really more of a antediluvian appendage really.
stupid english fail
I thought it was quite the nice joke, even if it was accidental. For those who don’t know, “antediluvian” basically means “beyond ancient” in its use; it literally means something along the lines of “from before the Flood”. I won’t get into my usual speech about the Flood (this is already rant-ish as it is). Anyway, I thought “antediluvian appendage” was quite the crack about a penis… That statement went somewhere terrible…
Dammit, I forgot to check the little email box…
What is WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE! >u<'
What do you mean, “what is wrong”?
A portable gate to the Plane of Snakes & Bees would be cool too.
And I’m now putting the Plane of Snakes and Bees in my next pathfinder game.
Snakes… On a plane?
Well then.
tubthulu
I swear, if it turn her into Puck, or Loki, or other godly jester, we are all screwed.
oh god, Sidney with god powers? scary and awesome. not want to be in that universe but love to watch
I just was made aware of this comic this morning and have now read through the entirety of the archives. I love it. Can’t wait for the next installment :-)
I know, I know! The day after Easter means that they have to be…
EASTER EGGS!
Yes, I expect incoming objects in my general direction.
*Launches a barrage from my easter-egg cannons*
Ah! A perfect time to test out my Easter Baskets… Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
(Really, what took you so long to notice?)
bwahahahahaha! that would be the longest set up to the silliest joke ever and would be awesome!
I’m thinking…. pet rocks in the tube.
Whoops! My comment was deleted. Haha, I guess that’s what I get for revealing secrets. Not even secrets, just the means to acquire secrets. Suffice to say, this secret is particularly cool.
Also the dude in the blue suit is a brony. Also a pokémon enthusiast? Also some anime I’ve never seen.
Wrong on three counts. These are the things he fears are in the tube. And the third anime is Sailor Moon.
Wrong on another count too. The General is a Grandfather. It’s not anything he fears, he just is thinking of Sydney like his Grandkids.
-points down to the smalltext on the bottom left- ‘Guess which one of them has grandkids?’.
I didn’t delete any posts, we’re so close to the reveal now. Probably just got lost on another page of comments.
That foam she tossed out looks like the egg carton bits we put in cricket cages at the pet store I used to work at. I’m pretty sure she just has a bunch of dead crickets in there.
Cricket Woman! everyone would call her Cricket Girl much to her chagrin due to her lack of ‘assets’
Aarrgh! The suspense is killing me. I am almost certain that she is going to pull out an inflatable Peewee Herman doll, but it could be anything. A radioactive pickle? A mummified Lilipution? Invisible edible underpants? A black-light active lego action figure? A micro black hole ensnared in a devious contraption comprised of everyday household items in a McGuiveresque approach to complex quantum physics? The possibilities are endless. I can’t take the suspense any longer. Enquiring minds want to know!
After watching Death Battle: Rainbow Dash vs. StarScream, I wouldn’t mind having her as a sidekick of some sort…
Love it, this page made me have to fight to keep from bursting out laughing at work. Seriously, the page is priceless. Looking forward to seeing what’s in this tube though!
Bees, my god!
*On edge of seat* only a few hours now…
refresh refresh refresh
Another Idea it could be kind of like from bleach the anime orhime’s powers instead from the hairpin they are uber hidden the the poster contanier
Why can’t it be an hour from now already?
Where’s Daylight Saving Time when you need it…
how many people are sitting there refreshing the page every five minutes?
If they’re like me? Not too many.
Try every two minutes. <_<
ditto.
Sad isn’t it?
;-)
Annnnnddd….. its up…nope…how about now??….nope..now?
I bet the Colonel has grankids. Pokemon and MLP are clear indicators of that. ;P
With the way she was describing “them” I was thinking something like smurfs.
I like Maxima’s idea that she crammed a bunch of kittens in a poster tube
OMG This page had me nearly in tears!
Pikachu, rainbow dash, AND sailor moon? I vote for that option.
This page cracks me up every time I read it!
Aww, dashie!
Sonova! How did we all miss telekinesis being misspelled?
In answer to the request at the very bottom, I’d hae to guess the one on the very far left (from the reader’s point of view).
*have
you do realize that flavor text nearly killed me, right?
Oh my god, I have been almost breathless laughing for over a minute now.
cant stop laughing… have to go home……
I would have loved for Rainbow Dash and pikachu to be in there.
I so want a tube full of attack-kittehs!
So does Maxima not like cats, or…?
I thought Arianna’s idea of what’s in the tube really fits with how I perceive Sidney’s personality. I can just totally see it happening.
Oh my god this comic makes me laugh so hard.
“And why were they living in harmony?”
She haz a Rainbow Dash…
the harvest begins???
This made me laugh so hard. The different art styles for the different characters’ imaginings really sell it.
Just reread this page. Do I take it, then, that telekinesis is far too mundane to be worthy of Archon’s attention?
Also note the spelling of “telekinesis.” :)
“The harvest begins!”
That would be sooo awesome… But, alas!
