Grrl Power #1481 - New diet plan (Patreon)

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

Okay, so first off, the main Grrl Power site got hacked. Dunno how, but it was returning 403 errors when people tried to comment, and seemingly at random replaced comic pages with very "pulled from an incomplete template" generic shopping sites, and presumably all the links within were themselves hax. Some of those pages even claimed to be Grrl Power merch. Hopefully no one was foolish enough to click on any of those links.

I have the hosting company working on fixing it. The hack has been removed, and they updated... stuff. The thing is, the site was running Comic Easel, which I didn't know how to update, and I'm not sure if the theme is even being updated anymore. That meant the site was also running a slightly out of date version of PHP, because that version of Comic Easel I guess relied on some depreciated functions that current PHP doesn't use? I don't know. Maybe that's how the hack happened, but it also means that while the site is cleaned up and safe, the actual comic and all associated comments aren't showing up. All the content still exists, but the current theme doesn't know how to pull from the big database which says which pages go where and also something like 500,000 comments. Maybe that's two separate databases. I don't know how long it'll take to fix, because while I designed the page back in the day, that was just doing some bits of art and a lot of CSS over top of the original ComicPress theme. I don't know jack about PHP. The hosting site's "fix my page" service hasn't been especially zippy so far, but maybe that's cause it was the weekend? We'll see. I'll keep you guys up to date here, and in the meantime, I'm going to post the pages for everyone to see, not just paid supporters.

Maxima wasn't really sure how to deal with Kaboomoid. He/it is a largely intangible explosion, and Max's powers don't exactly work well to directly make less explosions. She was considering burying him under a few hundred tons of sand to see if that would snuff him out, or creating large explosions near him to create vacuum and see if the amount of oxygen around him was a factor. It's more likely that Kaboomoid somehow supplies his own fuel, oxidizing agent, ignition and both the confinement needed to concentrate force and the release of that force in an impossibly perpetual explosion. If that's the case, then depriving him of oxygen wouldn't have any effect on him. Nor would "blowing him up" as that would probably feed his power or heal him, and that assumes he could even be damaged in the traditional sense.
