Grrl Power #71 – Punk Busting
Who needs to teleport when you can fly that fast? I mean obviously it doesn’t get you through solid objects or into places without being noticed what with the sonic booms and shockwaves and all, but as far as getting across a city quickly, Max could probably beat Harem. (Although I haven’t quite figured out what Harem’s range is, so maybe it’s a closer race than you’d think)
This page is evidence that I’m still hugely amateur when it comes to drawing interiors. They’re supposed to be in a two story room but that ceiling looks awfully low to me. I guess I need to take some snapshots of the insides of malls or something to figure out what I’m doing wrong.
Speaking of which I’ve made the hilarious mistake of putting them in a supposedly high security location… with a flipping skylight. I just have too many scenes in mind there the heroes fly in and out of the place to do away with it. I guess the explanation will be that there’s nothing of critical importance on that level… except that Leon’s office is right there and he has access to everything. I guess the door is normally closed and there’s always a dozen super powered types milling about.
She’s so scared that her nose fell off.
And her mouth prematurely teleported away in fear!
and her sweat drop cried out in fear!
And were silenced forever.
just to toss it in I think you should update personel file harem has had her first (and probly last as she seems about to die repeatedly) notable appearance.
I never thought you could actually depict the verb ‘murder’ before.
that was then, this is now.
I can actually hear the word “DOOOOOOOOOM” when I look at that last panel
Every time I see Harem’s freckles, I just want to count them… ALL of them. Eh, eh? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more!
Forget counting them, be more fun playing ‘connect the freckles’ ;)
Love the comic so far, but i REALLY love the fine details like the news 5 splash text at the bottom of the screen “ferret balls – new standard unit to measure surprise”
Indeed. I love new units of measurement.
holy space llama!!!!!
on a nearly unrelated note, i just realized that i actually played with voltron as a child. that is, until i made the childish mistake of trading voltron for a giant tub of dinosaurs. plastic ones mind you. live one’s should have been the only thing worth trading a mint condition 1997 voltron for. i sigh knowing that i traded away a rare collectible at the tender age of 3. no seriously, i was actually three years old in 1997 and i understood the concept of a trade. lord was i an insanely smart baby. good god i can’t even believe it…
by the way…voltron’s made of lions. not tigers. CORRECT YA AUTHOR’S NOTE!!!
Not sure if it was mentioned, but love how the sweat drop is screaming in terror :D
CanNOT read ‘We welcome his expectatory eminence’ without giggling.
OK, everyone got the whole “security” thing wrong. First principle, every door, room, foyer, etc., in a secured area will open onto an unsecured area somewhere. That’s because you can’t secure the whole world. So you have to consider any secured area as a bubble that is surrounded by unsecured space. Second principle, you can have open doors, skylights, windows and so forth into secured areas, but if so, the area must be manned during all times when those accesses are open and/or available. Third principle, the security of the area will increase as the level of the contents increases. Which means, I need more security for an area holding top secret material than I do for an area holding secret material.
Notice that there are high security areas in forward operating bases that are in tents. For the obvious reason, they are manned 24/7 by people with weapons loaded and they will point those damned things at you. (Which leads to guys like me with jobs that go all over sometimes getting a bit upset with overly nervous specialists in the EOD area, but I digress.)
So the office you mentioned would have at least a cypher lock on it, or similar, the door would be steel and, presuming they access secret or higher material in it, the windows would be obscured (glass blocks, paint, wavy distortion glass, whatever). Or they can have the Officer of the Day and aide (they always come in pairs, because they can’t both leave without locking up, which they aren’t supposed to do unless it’s a must) put their office in the corner and stay all night. It all works, either 24/7 manned/armed presence or you secure the parts that need security.
If they were locking up to leave the place empty, and there is secret material around, then all that material must be secured in a GS approved safe, any openings have to be secured to spec (probably shutters over that skylight) and the whole business locked up.
