Grrl Power #1503 - Umami is in the mouth of the beholder (Patreon)

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

What is the funniest condiment? Originally, Cthillia demanded spicy mustard, but I capriciously changed it before posting. I do think both options are good on tempura... well, I don't know about ratballs, but generally spicy mustard and yum yum sauce go well with most fried things. Ponzu sauce too. BTW, "ratballs" are not clumps of rat testicles or testicles from giant rats. It's a rat, crushed into a ball, and batter fried. I don't know where the extra bones come from. 

Anyway, I don't know if "Magic Shell" ice cream topping counts as a proper condiment, but I guess that'd be amusing to put on any random food item. Likewise, I don't think candy sprinkles are proper condiments either. I think a condiment pretty much needs to be a sauce? Chutney is a funny sounding word. So is Tahini, but I think they'd both be perfectly acceptable for a fried crunchy meat surprise. Chimichurri is also a funny sounding word, but it's also delicious. I dunno, maybe for a funny condiment, you'd have to veer into the unexpected, like if she wanted grape jelly for her ratballs. Or grape jelly and yellow mustard, which sounds foul, but actually, if you put equal parts jelly and mustard in a crock pot and dump in a bunch of meatballs, you've basically got a pot of sweet and sour meatballs. That used to be my go to for office pot lucks. 

Is Deus kind-of-maybe hitting on Cthillia in a childish bid to make Sciona jealous? I have no idea, actually. I think he's just being gregarious and obnoxious. He'd call it "chummy," especially if he was kind-of-maybe hitting on a shark woman with a bucket of fish guts. See? Cause... the fish bucket... >cough<

As for why he's got a box next to Cora's suite? He knows Dabbler and knows she's old friends with Cora, so maybe he found out that she was getting a suite and booked the one next to hers for... reasons? Probably to hit on Cora, if the opportunity arose, if I'm honest. He is definitely aware that Cora's ship was conspicuously not reported as having left Earth, and Earth in the world of Grrl Power is still fairly excited about the revelation of aliens and the one spaceship full of sexy aliens that hangs out with the still newly revealed sexy superheroes, so there's more than a little media attention on the comings and goings of Cora's ship. Which I think I named "The Interdictor," which is not especially memorable or creative, IMO. Maybe I'll say it's a heavily modified Interdictor class ship if it comes up again. I don't recall if the name even appeared in the comic or just in my post below some page. 

It would be weird dating a guy who could palm both of your butt-cheeks at once. I... assume. I have no perspective on that. Actually I probably drew Harem's butt too small there in panel 2 and 4. It's one of those things that looks okay from this exact angle, but if I had to animate it in a 3D fly around it'd probably be all kinds of messed up. I think I underemphasize hips on women, which I've been trying to correct - where appropriate. Especially fit women tend to have smaller looking hips because they have less padding to smooth out their curves, and I mostly draw fit women or beanpoles. I think I draw butts too small too, generally. Max is supposed to have one of those "a little too much time on the stairclimber" butts, AKA a conspicuous, but very fit butt. Granted I usually draw her wearing non-skintight paramilitary style pants, but of course Ixah has no excuse.
