Grrl Power #1289 - Holo-mouth
🕑 Added 2024-09-02 10:00:07 +0000 UTCThank you for the support! You guys are awesome!
Presumably, if you have a really good translator with all the extra options, you can move your holo-mouth around, like how Garamm is offsetting his there in panel 7. And clearly that sets up all sorts of possibilities for sexual shenanigans. Also a lot of upsetting ones as well, like you're getting it on doggy style and she moves her holo-mouth to the middle of her back to bark instructions at you. It wouldn't change where the sound is coming from or provide any tactile functionality, it would really be more of a test of your focus, I think. I'd assume that the good translators would be able to do stuff like lipstick or whatever, but also change things about the mouth, like if you have a chipped tooth or something. But maybe they could also swap your mouth out for another species' mouth? Like Garamm could have a pair of normal human lips? That would be off putting.
How much food would a 7'4" muscular-but-not-quite-bodybuilder eat? Yeah, Frix has pretty huge arms, but he's not "abusing HGH" big. Though in his case it'd be W(oof)GH. I googled how much he'd probably weigh, and there's a 7'2" bodybuilder who competes at around 330 lbs, so let's say Frix is an even 350 so it's easy for me to remember. Of course, alien metabolism makes it impossible to really guess his caloric requirements, but a half-rack of beef ribs and a double serving of mash and mac and cheese seems like a reasonable lunch.
Speaking of fanfic, you know what the most successful one of all time is? Dante's Inferno. Nearly everything Christianity believes about hell comes from that. The bible basically says Hell, or Gehenna, is a place of fire and torment, and… that's kind of it. There's virtually no detail other than that. Every movie, comic, novel, poem and TV show about Lucifer and devil summoning and possession is derived from The Inferno. It's basically canon, and it's fanfic.

It's her lungs collapsing from the hug.

Sydney has transferred to comfy lap.

"...Garamm could have a pair of normal human lips? That would be off putting." Reminds me of Space Angel and Clutch Cargo. The only 'animation' in those cartoons was human lips overlaid on the character's face. "Off putting" is the usual term for it but officially it was Syncro-Vox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncro-Vox

The expression really sells it.

Consider it as a prequel. The War in Heaven gets about one line in the Bible, I think.

About 3k - 5k Kcal's a day with a 70 - 80% level of protein, then fat and carb's are subdivided however you want to. At least that sounds about right.

I'm forgetting - why would Frix have hard feelings? And when did he become a team member? I thought Cora's crew were visiting Friendlies, vouched for by associate in "good" standing Dabbler.
AlpineBob
I think you are agreeing with Dave (most people treat Inferno-lore as canon), just disagreeing about whether it's a good thing... And actually, he didn't put a value judgement on it.

Happy Sydney is so cute.

Of course the flip side of the mouth hologram, showing someone NOT talking while they're frantically whispering instructions to the people next to/behind them while on stage/at a function.

I wouldn't agree about the inferno it's not where any Christian beliefs come from and it is far from canon. It's where most of the misconceptions about hell come from. It's actually really frustrating to explain things to someone who's only knowledge comes from fiction and pop culture
Tim Starliper
Maybe, but I am sure he won't turn down some 'convincing' from Sydney.
Terence Bryant-White
Sidney's toy squeak noise is the best 😅

In response to the bottom-of-the-strip-blurb: I'm fairly certain it's the cosmetics industry who owns the rights to any and all 'improvements' the holographic mouth gives to the wearer. Seriously, it'd be way to easy of a cash grab for even them to miss, especially as there would be no animal testing involved so it's purely a positive for their image.

Frix doesn't seem the type to hold grudges tbh, I'd assume the first.
Magraal
Don't forget the Book of Enoch, which is also fanfic and where a lot of information about 'angels' comes from.
Bowoodstock
Interesting how friendly Frix is being here. I'm guessing one of two things: 1. He's at the point of "no hard feelings" now, since it all worked out and now they're team members. 2. Sydney did some "convincing" of one nature or another.
Andrew Denton
I would put up Paradise Lost as possibly more influential than Dante's Inferno, if not a close second.
Thomas Dorner
Dante's inferno as fanfic, now that's a thought! :-)
Sarazarus
Not only is Dante's fanfic, it's self-insert, extremely indulgent fanfic, with all his enemies suffering and humiliated in hell xD
Fogel
Also fanfic: King Arthur. It's just a group of different authors throughout history adding their own cool stories to the myth. Lancelot is someone's OG-do-not-steal
