Apparently some poor souls are immune to Robespierre’s charms.
Hey! It’s Karla! The fourth member of the M9 Girls. She’s the one who can make intense bursts of light.
So, this brings our current crossover with the fabulous M9 Girls to an end.
For now, that is. I don’t think it’s the last we’ve seen of them.
And a big thank you to the Girl’s creator, Rulo Potamo! Partner, you are a joy and an inspiration to work with. It was fun, and we should definitely do it again.
Coming up, we’ll check in on Eleanor and Anya. Eleanor wasn’t doing so great last time. We’ll see if she’s gotten any better…
Oh Robespierre the Super Smooth “Well Hello, There” look obviously didn’t work too well.
Charlie, just brilliant!
Rulo can take all that credit. He’s the one who created the super-socialite Karla with her incredible light powers, and he said that she’d get creeped out by Robespierre (unbelievable as that may sound).
And really, how could anybody resist Mr. Smoothapod?
Arrrrrrrgh…….Updated equipment at work has wiped out all my settings and favourites hence why I ended up posting as Anonymous!
A Nonny Mouse? Would that be a Rodent Jester?
Bit like a French Underground Dwarf being a MetroGnome.
Ok I had a bad day at work yesterday, let me be silly for 10 minutes.
Aw Mike, I knew it was you all along.
Around the Underdog kennel, I’m considered to be a bit of a punster. But I’m nowhere near your league. Well played!
Sorry about your bad day. However, I must remind you that Groovy, Kinda is a serious comic, dealing with serious issues in a serious manner. No room for silliness in this shop, if you please.
But, since it’s you, I’ll make an exception. Just this once.
“Blinded by the light…”
…oh come on, SOMEBODY had to say it.
It’s the role you were born to play, my friend. Well played indeed.
Awww I’m sad the crossover has ended. I really enjoyed seeing the M9Girls in your style. This was a fun little story, a nice breather from all the intense stuff that’s been happening lately.
Thanks, mj. This was so much fun that I’m sure the Girls will be back.
Plus it was fun to just get silly for a few strips. While it was a nice break, it also advanced the story, as you’ll see eventually.
It was also a great drawing exercise for me. I really learned a lot, trying to do other characters in my style.
I highly recommend it for all comic creators.
This was a blast for me too! The crossover allowed me to explore the Girls’ personalities and peek at their evolution as a team. I’m honored Charlie let me play in his playground.
Maybe we’ll play in your backyard next time!
Humph! I guess some people just can’t overcome their limb-quantity bias.
And where can I get a Princess Chroma shopping bag? 🙂
I know, right?
You just have to know where to shop, I guess. Perhaps there’s a Princess Chroma high fashion store in your reality. It could even be a cross-dimensional chain!
Heh, fat chance of that–we may even lose J. C. Penny’s if things get any worse.
Hahahah! I love that Karla has LOTS of lockers, just for her. Dunno how many, but five only got us to “BR-CA”… so one can assume that there’s more than 20. Possibly more than 30. More? Yikes!
And I’m sure she’d grow to love Robby if she was introduced to him PROPERLY! Ambushing her with him wasn’t nice. 😛 If he’d at least had a DOUGHNUT to offer her, she might have been less inclined to strike.
Larry and Steph’s expressions are priceless! 😀 Not to mention Robespierre’s. 😀
That started with the last strip. Once I gave Pato her own locker, and then remembered that Karla is the “Veronica Lodge” of the M9 Girls, it all fell into place.
Yes, Clau should’ve been nicer with her introductions. She is the most impulsive of the Girls, at least when Pato’s not around.
Of course, had Eleanor been there…
I’m glad you liked the expressions in the last panel. I seem to be drawing an angry Stephanie more these days, what with Simon and all.
Stephanie is still getting over the terror that she’d lost him – it’s not surprising that she’s a little extra defensive on his behalf – in comic years it’s been a very short time indeed since he was revived. Any threat to his well-being is going to be met with hackles raised, at a minimum.
Which brings up a point – to whom is Robbie most loyal? I won’t ask to whom he “belongs” because he’s patently a sapient being, but if it comes push to shove, would he stay with Edison or Stephanie? I honestly can’t guess – Edison needs the most looking after but I think Stephanie is more likely his natural companion.
That’s a very good question, and one I’ve been pondering lately.
What do you all think?
If Robespierre really had to choose between Stephanie and Edison, who would he go with?
Robbie’s fav is whomever holds the doughnut
Thanks to a certain “sneak peek” I’ve seen, there exists an elegant workaround that solves the problem completely. 🙂
Second possibility: perhaps at that point, Robie might consider allowing Simon to make a “twin”.
Finally, given Steph’s emotional age, Robie might consider Edison his “Mom” and Stephanie his (In the most innocent possible definition) “playmate”.
I really enjoyed seeing Karla’s lockers. And yes, she is very fashion conscious, so she would have lots of storage for her wardrobe.
Clau was really naughty startling Karla like that. She should know better by now.
Ya Think!!!!!
Poor Larry.
Hey, Larry knew the risks going in. After all, he’s doing science.
So basically Karla’s a deer in the headlights making deers in headlights. Another very good reason not to prank her. And Robie’s having a pretty bad day, isn’t he? Stephanie’s really letting them off easy.
Man, Chroma merch is really booming! I love the logo you designed for her–it reminds me a little of the Looney Tunes logo.
“Dear in Headlights?” Where were you when I was naming this one, melaredblu? That’s brilliant!
I’ll have to do another Karla crossover now.
Robie was having a great day up until then. He flew, he got doughnuts, he charmed the other girls…and then this.
Glad you like the logo! “Princess Chroma-you can’t afford to shop here!”
Robie’s flirtatious expression was a hoot!
Chroma’s merch is definitely in now in the M9 Universe, and Karla would definitely need some items for her accessories.
Somehow I don’t think those coke-bottle glasses are ever gonna catch on, though.
Probably not, but it could look cool. Glasses moe, and all.
Sigh, even Robespierre’s sexy comehither glance can’t win over everyone’s heart. If you’re wearing glasses when hit in the face by a photon blast would it fry your eyeballs like ants under a magnifying glass?
Good thing Karlita only made brilliant lights. I’m sure she would like Robbie. It is just she is not good with surprises, specially floating surprises!
Bye, bye, girls! Nice mini arc 🙂
Thanks, Gual!
And thank you again-your guest art of the Girls was a great source for reference.
