Grrl Power #1002 - Windtalkers
Added 2021-12-02 11:01:02 +0000 UTCThanks so much for your support! Like, seriously, you guys.
Yes, of course we'll meet Sydney Sr. in just a bit, but he's probably getting autographs or something.
Sydney got in trouble a fair amount growing up, and her and her mom eventually developed this disciplinarian semaphore so Laura could scold her daughter without needing to stop other conversations. Also, they can have obligatory "How was school?" / "Fine." conversations without actually needing to speak.
More parental insights to come.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:
It's basically done. Like a dozen more paragraphs. I might even finish it tonight depending on how long this page took to post.

You should have had a shot of Maxima's eyes under each panel as Sydney and her mother did their non-verbal thing.
Marc Vun Kannon
2021-12-06 11:12:48 +0000 UTCConsidering that Sydney is 27, it seems completely reasonable to me that her mother has aged gracefully.

2021-12-04 17:11:42 +0000 UTCIs it just me, or does Sydney's mom look like she's in her late 20s, early 30s?
james hales
2021-12-03 16:09:35 +0000 UTCWe saw her make a phone call when she got back from her big adventure. But I think that's it. Apparently Sydney has at least a +3 Dodge family conflict skill.

2021-12-03 02:30:01 +0000 UTCI'm thinking a texture line, although why Dave thought it necessary he would have to explain.
Eric Loken
2021-12-02 21:06:50 +0000 UTCWhat is that mark on Laura's nose and why is it missing from panel 7?
Erin Palette
2021-12-02 17:57:29 +0000 UTC...and then Syd finds out mom is a government vivisectionist...
akrasia
2021-12-02 17:24:42 +0000 UTCI guess they haven't had that "discussion" yet about why Sydney didn't tell them about the orbs until after the Grand Opening of Archon--with her featured--got broadcast on national news.

2021-12-02 17:14:53 +0000 UTCI'm Orca, and I approve of this message.

2021-12-02 17:12:51 +0000 UTCI’m imagining Sydney senior is like a really exaggerated version of Nigel Thornberry, right down to having either a British or Australian accent.
Miyaa
2021-12-02 16:30:15 +0000 UTCSo, Sydney actually hasn’t seen her parents in person since before this whole thing started?
Thisguy
2021-12-02 15:22:06 +0000 UTCThat should be "she and her mom."
Stephen Gilberg
2021-12-02 14:44:26 +0000 UTCThis was an absolutely great strip. It captures the reality of "Family".
Tie Toter
2021-12-02 14:10:00 +0000 UTCWell, I guess w know how Sydney developed her "poker face"...
JasonAW3
2021-12-02 13:31:53 +0000 UTCThis. Yes. Can we see the Scoville Family D&D Night?
Talespinner Lore
2021-12-02 13:21:52 +0000 UTCI'll bet that on occasion dinner time can be interestingly tense between these two.
Kenneth Winkelman
2021-12-02 13:20:45 +0000 UTCSo, Mom is the rock in this family. I bet she has a hidden side wherein she can cause more trouble than her husband and daughter combined. Bet Sydney's seen it and considers Mom her "Dark Lord of the Sith"(In a loving way); whereas, Daddy is her "Jedi Master". Mom probably can bake a Double Disaster Chocolate Lava Monster cake with jalapenos, and then stare down an irate high school principal until they calm the eff down. Of course, Mom plays the cleric in the family adventuring party.
Town Crier
2021-12-02 12:41:16 +0000 UTCAnd Max realises that despite being a Leiutenant Colonel, and Sydney’s CO, she will never be able to have the complete deference Sydney gives to her mother.
Thisguy
2021-12-02 12:08:44 +0000 UTCI vote Laura for the next pinup. Who's with me?
Matthew Paulin
2021-12-02 11:38:27 +0000 UTCThen one of them sneezes and the other takes out Detroit.
Justaguy
2021-12-02 11:28:29 +0000 UTCDamn. Sydney's mom has got it going on.
Paul Rendell
2021-12-02 11:27:13 +0000 UTCMy wife already has this with our daughter... It baffles me how they do it...
Whoriar
2021-12-02 11:05:37 +0000 UTCA shrug, a nod, a wink, a stare and a glare are worth a thousand words.
