Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

Yes, Maxima can metabolize an incredible amount of alcohol. So much for a low-key start to her evening.

Max has literally never been an adult and looked inconspicuously human. She knows how they're supposed to act, but she's always been the center of attention one way or another. Let's see what happens.

If you had super strength or telekinesis, etc., the temptation to "create parking opportunities" for yourself would be real. Especially if some jackass is parked crooked or is taking up multiple spaces. You'd be morally obligated to relocate that car into a tree or next to a fire hydrant.

I actually had planned on a whole page of Max driving around until I realized I'd be condemning myself to drawing not just her car, but a whole bunch of other cars blocking her access to parking. I can draw a car if I have good reference, but I'm not one of those artists that lives for drawing cars and/or mecha. Like there's no way Shuichi Shigeno, the artist responsible for Initial D, wasn't super into drawing cars before he set out to create that manga. I can assure you neither this or any other comic I work on will heavily feature cars. Unless I somehow become an expert at Blender.

That last panel is absolute gold :D

Michael O'Driscoll

That bar tender is going to make bank on drink sales if max sticks around :)

Torabi

That is a delightfully weird group of normies.

Tannerbot

I'm scaroused! But also, drunk Maxima might be the cause of new laws being put on the books. Let's see what happens!

Ronnie Henriksen

Slight typo in the bottom line. "know as the". That aside, great work as always :3

Spike

Man, your art has really gotten great! The dramatic entrance, the SCHLORFF, and the last panel all really grabbed me. You draw digitally, right? So there's no original art on paper ever available to buy? I'd hang that SCHLORFF panel with no context.

Czarzhan

I don't think you necessarily need to become an expert at Blender. With the right tutorials and a little cash for add-ons, it can be a great background maker pretty quick. (Some of those add-ons can really make life easy.)

God damn Batman level entrance. 10/10. Would Bat-a-rang. Also, I heartily approve of that bartender, and REALLY want Max/Harper to make friends with Skål Gål & Fear Boner, and company.X’D

Swedish Chef

Now, we just need a Schwarzie's look alike dressed up as Terminator fresh out of his bike to make her day/night/whatever.

D.A. Lamont

That was pretty epic. Biker bar Max is best max, IMO. Now we just need a normie (but not really) dude to be super chill and see where things go. ...Dammit! I said that and now any "normie" dude that could hang with or entice Max is gonna wind up being an epic supervillain or some ultra-chad who has to go save space kittens from burning supernovas on the daily as his alter persona, Captain Galaxus, or some such, huh? 🤦🤦🤷

Nestor Rodriguez

At least Max is doing it right. liquor before beer, never fear. Beer before liquor, never sicker.

Steve Ronuken

How long until a trucker finds his truck crucified on poles alal superman ;)

Michael Obert

Swanson family mash liquor? It's only legal use is stripping the paint off of speedboats, but it's your call, lady. Max just got +50 points from me; I love a girl who likes a good, dark beer!

Bruichladdich - it tastes like it sounds. It starts sleek as a cat... And the then the cat tries to climb back out of your throat!

Justin Martin

“Dial 911 and see what happens” sounds like a prom night drink.

Marc Vun Kannon

Max and Sydney should go out for dinner sometime, and invite Deus. How much of her power would she have to divert to shield, to eat what Sydney eats?

Marc Vun Kannon

Watching Max navigate the human world should be as much fun as watching Sydney getting settled in at Archon.

Manuel Vasquez

If I had power like that, and government resources, if I found a jackass double parked I’d relocate their car to the roof of their house

Aclys

For the parking scene... Could max not simply use her tk-lifting feature to lift the car while in contact, ie driving it, then just fly herself up and such to move the car into an available slot?

Deltarno

Well at least she found a nice bar, but I doubt this will end well. Hopefully she can find some drinking buddies. Also, any chance for an enlarged version of tiny Max raging in her car?

OftenSane

I honest to gods hope that guy gets her number. It would do Max good to have a little normalcy in her life, and it would be a hilarious running gag that he has a super hot girlfriend that he can't say much about, or introduce to people, because she's classified.

Eric Loken

I suspect that at the end of the night, Max is simply going to pick up her car, and fly back to HQ.

Louis Richards

So many people out there that don't appreciate a good chewy porter.

IvyReed

Maxima is officially "weaker" than Captain America in that she CAN get drunk? Neat!

Dan Jones

I guess I gotta be THAT guy. Things might be different in the grrlverse but here in the real world, Bruichladdich x4 is distilled at around 92%, which is 184 proof. But it is bottled at 63.5%, which is 127 proof. Still packs quite the wallop. The percent alcohol is clearly labeled on the bottle: https://www.whizzky.net/products/1488182557.jpg

I guess I also gotta be THAT guy. Maxima may tell herself that she's failing due to inexperience in navigating the mundane world as an adult. However, there's nothing unambiguous about "Actually, what's the most alcohol you're legally allowed to sell me in one go?" There is no amount of out of touch that could plausibly explain that as something one thinks of as normal behavior. It's possible that she thinks it's normal showboating. I recall one of my college associates did something like that, imitating something his favorite pro wrestler had done on camera. Fortunately for his liver, he turned out to be a flyweight when it came to holding his liquor... He claimed at first that he was trying to blend in as normal. But he admitted that the character he was trying to imitate was nowhere close to normal - one of the characters that stood out the most in a set of characters that strove to stand out. To be clear, this is absolutely behavior that someone in Maxima's situation could do on a night out, and she could totally be lying to herself and say that she's trying to blend. But deep down she knows she's absolutely not trying to blend in. She wants a night out as someone superlative like she is, but without the media. Chances are moderately decent she's going to find out the media goes after superlative and they just flock to her because she's a known superlative.

Max has zero experience being a normal adult, and has reverted to being a 13-year-old, because that was the last time she did “normal.” Consider: her first move was to take the shiny new car she’d driven maybe three times, and get a speeding ticket, and is now drinking on a fake ID, being clearly _way_ to excited, and obviously not understanding how normal barroom conversation goes. And I say that someone who routinely orders pizza with, “enough extra cheese to gag a goat.” I do genuinely hopes she makes some good, real not-work friends, but I also kinda hope someone shows up to big-sister her through this experience before she get’s too hammered to realize that she _is_ hammered, and starts making super-powered Poor Choices. I mean…it’s a great bit and all, but I find myself being genuinely scared for her. This may be the first time in her adult life she’s ever not had to be “on.” Sudden depressurization can be hideously damaging, in more ways than one.
