Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

It's possible Deus has warped Maxima's taste in whiskey over the last few years. She may be super sus of him and his motivations, but she's not going to turn down the top-tippy-super-promise-definitely-the-highest shelf stuff. If she'd thought about it, she'd have realized her own personal stock has slowly evolved from Jim Beam to stuff that's at least 15 years old. She's not "Drive a car till it runs out of gas then have her people just buy another one" rich... well, considering how rarely she drives, she could do that, the point is she doesn't have that mentality - but - the average bottle of whiskey in her personal bar is rings in at around $150, and she doesn't think that much about dropping that much on a restock.

It helps that she doesn't really drink that much. If her and Anvil and Peggy are staying up late and talking, the three of them would probably go through a bottle. Anvil can keep up with Max. Peggy is a normal human 5'4" woman that weighs... uh, I'm going to say 110? Of course she's missing a leg below the knee... No idea how much that would weigh. I'm convinced that all writers are on FBI watchlists. (I know that seems like a non-sequitur, bear with me.) I personally have googled "what sedative does Dexter use," all kinds of stuff about guns and explosives, military prisons, the pentagon, "woman leaning over pool table," etc. I feel like googling "woman individual body part weight calculator" might tip the threshold to "active surveillance." So I'm going to just guess that Peggy weighs... ninety... uh... four pounds?

Anyway. Max takes 3-4 weeks to go through a bottle on her own. She'll sometimes cap off her paperwork with a shot before she settles in for a trashy TV show before bed.

Panels 2, 3, and 4 are supposed to encapsulate the "Honestly I'm really trying not to look at your boobs but they're right there..." >glance< "Yes, we both know I just got caught but it was just a flick of the eyes, not a leer, I'm really trying not to..." >glance< "Dangit!"

I mean, women are fully aware of it, right? They have to be. Okay, off-topic, but I really want someone to make a first person shooter, and if you pick a female avatar, all the male NPCs do the boob glance. But the game company never says anything about it. I bet you'd have a bunch of male gamers being like, "The in-between mission section around the base was kind of creepy for some reason." and female gamers would be all "I can't put my finger on it, but something about this game is just so realistic."

I know when I'm playing Lara Croft or FemShep and some NPC starts coming on to them I'm immediately like, "Yo, you know I'm armed, right?" I can't tell if that's me channeling Maxima and being offended for the female character, or just me being a het dude and reflexively uncomfortable at being vicariously hit on... yeah, through a video game. I know, it's stupid, but it's there. That's all totally different from when my FemShep boned down on Garrus. Garrus was rad. Although I really wanted FemShep to get with Tali, because she was super rad. But you couldn't to that without a mod, and installing some random .EXE on my PC so I could watch a user-generated clunky Skinemax cutscene seemed like a poor decision.

I have had those moments where I'm at a bar and am thinking of my favourite whiskey and then realize just how stupid overpriced those can get per glass.

I think 110 is probably fine for Peggy's weight. The lost leg would take some off, but muscle is denser than fat and 110 is the bottom to the healthy weight range for that height anyway

That's some pricy malt whisky right there (no e!), tho The Macallan in panel 6 has a typo.

Thisguy

I have a feeling Max’s liquor cabinet also has a few gifts from Deus. But yeah, Max’s tastes have been severely warped. And while not stupid rich like Deus, could probably afford a couple of $1000 bottles a year.

Laphroiag is good, and I have only "normal" stuff home. Now I wonder how good 30 is

Michael Obert

Drinking in the gutter is good for you, Max; reminds you of the human part of superhuman.

Julian

She's a prolific superhero who only drives when she wants to relax, dramatic irony demands that the car ends up wrecked at least 50% of the time.

Garrus IS rad. And from the little research I'm aware of into the boob glance, not only is it common, but often, straight women and gay men do it too!

The Balvenie double wood has been my Friday night drink for about 3 years now.

As an Ex-RPG designer, a common table-top gamer, and GM, and someone who's done proof-reading and Beta reading for assorted writers. My search history I am SURE is on multiple international watch lists.

Nasty icksey hard alcohols and wines. We hates it, My Precious. Gives us a nice, lovely Mike's Peach Hard Lemonade, or maybe a hard cider.

Andrew Denton

Once when on vacation, a had a shot of some $50-an-ounce whiskey. Now, it was good, but it made my normal stuff taste like gasoline, and I couldn't go back to drinking the stuff that I can afford for 3 days.

In the (highly underrated, IMHO) FPS "Sin Episodes: Emergence", if you leave your cursor sitting on your partner's boobs or butt for too long, she calls you out on it.

TrixieTurner

Lol showing how out of touch max is. Guess her slumming it with the regular people is gonna be good for her.

Fogel

I've been told that, if a guy wants to experienced that 'up down glance', you just need to walk into a gay bar. I've also been told by people who tried it that it is strange for both men and women. Strange to receive the ogle for the men, and strange to *not* receive it for the women.

In Australia we have the Bundaberg Master Distiller's Collection, which is to say a rum company produces a limited run of very, VERY nice rum every few years. The bottles rarely go over $200 at retail, but getting hold of them after their limited stock is depleted can get... expensive. I've had some nice whisky in my time, but rum is my drink and Bundaberg makes some good stuff.

While getting hired at a previous employer, I had a meeting with an HR rep who was very, very well endowed. She was displaying cleavage I am still convinced was an eyelash-width from displaying areola. I made the decision that she was NOT going to catch me ogling, and I looked her in the eyes the entire time. I'd pay good money to somehow get an honest answer from her about what she thought or if she even noticed. Alas...

"the average bottle of whiskey in her personal bar is rings in at around $150, and she doesn't think that much about dropping that much on a restock." This is awkward. The 'is rings' should probably be missing the 'is'. Or exchange it for 'probably'.

I've found out that (due to research into writing a book and various GM-ing qustions) that just figuring out the normal weight of a human female is extremely difficult but, if you ask one of those ai chat bots, you need to be ridiculously specific to get a straight answer... Much less for a part of one... I think it's because they have that "it's impolite to ask a lady their weight" (you know the response you get after doing just that, usually with daggers in their eyes) response coded in.
