Grrl Power #77 – She’ll get there eventually

February 6th, 2012 | by DaveB

I wanted to have a panel or two showing that maybe 5 or 10 minutes had passed since the last page, but I tried to cram too much in on this one and had to lose them.

So yeah, nearly 20 pages after her first appearance, Heatwave finally opens her mouth (to do something other than stuff it with popcorn. Evidently they must go through boxes of the stuff there), results are mixed. Turns out, the rarity of super powers in this world does mean you don’t always get to be quite as picky when it comes to some of the other desired attributes when recruiting. Heatwave just has a different, some would say slower, method of processing data. Some would just say she’s dumb. But she can follow orders, fly, and her heat rays are formidable. She’s not going to lead her own squad, but she’s still a valuable asset.

Also, if you haven’t stopped by since the last page went up, I’ve posted a voting incentive over at Topwebcomics.com, some of the lines came out a little light but honestly I haven’t done a pencil piece in years. Next one should be better. I’ll try and do at least one a month, I’d love to do one a week, but if I had that sort of time, I’d rather spend it on doing more comics.

I set up a voting incentive over at topwebcomics.com. I’d like to promise that I’ll do this every month, but we’ll see what time allows. Swing by, drop a vote in the bucket and check out the Grrl Power Xmas party.

State of the union comic

January 3rd, 2012 | by DaveB

First off, thanks for all the topwebcomics.com votes, (vote link) we got the comic into the top 10, which is amazing since the guys who usually dominate that position offer a post incentive with every comic that goes up, usually nudie pics of their female characters. Especially Spying with Lana, which you should check out if you’re not at work and enjoy well drawn naked people.

I saw some other webcomicers on twitter post some year over year stats, so I thought I’d do the same. I’ve got roughly 5X the traffic since this time last year, so thanks for sticking around everyone. Still, a year ago the comic was only a few months old so while my current traffic level isn’t bad for a relatively young comic, it’s not something I’m going to be making a living off any time soon. So my goal for this year is to get another 5x increase in traffic. I don’t know how realistic that is, but I really would like to escape the cube farm and do this for a living, which of course means more comics each week, so at some point I’ll probably add some ad banners to the page (I know, ads suck but I won’t allow any annoying flash ads or any epilepsy inducing gifs) and that’s not going to pay my mortgage, but at some point my host will probably say “Hey I know we said ‘unlimited’ bandwidth, but… here’s a bill anyway” so the ads might defray that cost and maybe even pay for some advertising of my own.

I don’t have a donate button or any other source of income off the page yet, except for a few T-shirt sales… I should really link the store at some point… but if you enjoy the comic and want to help out, for now the best thing you can do is share it with your friends, facebook, twitter, whatever, and hopefully people will find it and decide to stick around.
