Meet the heroine with the most cast-iron stomach...

... in my review of the webcomic GrrlPower, starring Sydney Scoville!

I was recommended to read 'GrrlPower' 4 days ago by someone who commented on some of my more absurd moods and mannerisms. I've spent large amounts of the last 2 days reading all of the archives [once I saw that Sydney had a 'my strength' aversion to the horrid day-star ^_^]

Your points about the web-comic are very concise. You left out the rather stunning artwork, which is very eye-pleasing. Plus, I have liked his treatment of gender a -lot-. If the comments sections for most of what I'd read hadn't been years or months out-of-date, I'd have left comments like: 'why yes, I -have- in fact punched myself in the ovaries/uterus when the girlie parts are acting up during a monthly'. [Did it help? No ... but it was mildly cathartic and distracting if the pain was really bad.]

'GrrlPower' has climbed into my favorite comics** with a leap and a bound.


** top 10 faves, out of roughly 55 being followed:
Girl Genius, Grrl Power, Schlock Mercenary, Scandinavia and the World, Non Sequitar, xkcd, The Young Protectors, Freefall, Star Power & Order of the Stick

I just finished reading through the archives of that one, after seeing a FB post you made about it last week. Thanks for a new addiction. ;)

Well, that ate up all the time I spent waiting for code to compile yesterday and today, and much of last night as well.

Oogh. Where'd the day go? Why'd the comic archives end so soon? Why is it evening now?

After I shared it with my husband, he accused me of being cruel and inflicting sleep deprivation on him.
