Grrl Power #1376 - I spy with my little satellite... (Patreon)

Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

Max isn't actually all that offended by "guy scoping out slightly drunk chicks." She knows how the world works. Nothing wrong with a little willful social self-lubrication. Now, if he'd said "blackout drunk chicks," that'd be a different story. She's also not a huge fan of referring to women as "chicks," either, but at least it's better than "broads," "slags," or many other terms in a series of rapidly diminishing respect. 

Yes, Cora and crew have "raised money for the orphanage," like a Three Stooges plot, and while it's more of a Robin Hood style transaction, there is usually a lot of hitting. You know, the stealth mission that devolves into a huge firefight just because that one guard was actually doing his job competently.

I was so tempted to draw stars above the Earth there, but I know that's not how it works. The human eye has too limited of a dynamic dynamic range for that. You know, come to think of it, it's almost a little weird that more of our senses don't have a dynamic range slider, like how the iris adjusts the amount of light coming through. Like it's kind of odd that our ears don't automatically close up when there are loud sounds. I guess that means we'd have "earlids," which is... really disturbing now that I think about it. Still, eyes have lids and irises, so couldn't ears have earlids and also a thing that makes us attune to high pitched sounds at the expense of low hertz sounds and vice versa? I'm sure our non-eye senses do have some brain-based slider to mitigate some of the more extremes? Maybe? But... I don't know, maybe it doesn't. Like, if you get into a slap fight, the 5th slap might not hurt as much as the 1st, assuming they all hit in different places and aren't stacking. But then, if someone is tickling your cheek with a feather, then you get slapped in the face, that first slap will probably register much more strongly than if you know the slap is coming. But that's due to adrenaline, not sensory dynamic range. 

Anyway, so yeah, there's an alien spy satellite floating somewhere above Archon HQ.
