Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. (And sometimes they just get worse!)
The Adventures of Gyno-Star
Fighting the forces of evil and male chauvinism
I dont understand what the tatic Gyno was trying to do i mean it was going to be power up for Sappho just with a differnt look and possibly mind alteration which can be fixed
She was hoping his gaze would turn himself into a “weaker then men” female, so gyno can beat him.
Did not work out that way…
Medically, such a physique could be fatal in itself. I doubt it’ll take quite that dark a turn… perhaps he might end up so muscle-bound he’s unable to move, though, or pouch-bound for that matter.
I would think with the trend Gyno has seen plus with what she was saying to convince Objectifier that it would be a boost not a debuff
I think she was aiming for the reflect, hoping that it’d make doucéy there become weaker (as he intentionally zaps people to be weaker than himself) but that seems to have backfired
Honestly I question his claim that he intentionally did anything…
Explosion through the body not being able to contain this much energy/awesomeness is one traditional way for this scenario to resolve.
He’s got a posing pouch! Can’t see straight for the giggling…
I thought it looked a bit like a Sporran, myself.

(Suggestion: if you ever end up dancing in traditional highland dress, move the sporran to one side. Otherwise it can swing on some rather uncomfortable arcs…)
Ah, but a true Scotsman can take it! 😛
Indeed, (ahem) “No True Scotsman” would have difficulty with it. 😉
It’s a race against the clock here for the Objectifier. There’s still the threat of impending massive organ failure. (Too bad we have no idea of when that will happen.) He has to deal with that as well as his new overly muscle-bound physique. I don’t think it can be a winning proposition for him.
I recommend tripping him over and letting gravity finish him off.
pouch codpiece. simultanously the worst and most over the top awesome peice of costume ever.
Ha! I love the pouch over his package! That’s called subtlety, my friend.
It shall henceforth be know as the Supr Sporran(tm).
Liefeldization status: +300%!
I’m going with “dies from a heart attack” as The Objectifier’s conclusion.
Or maybe he’s strangled by his own neck muscles.
Either way, broseph needs some serious reductive surgery.
Maybe the idea was to push him over the ‘point of diminishing returns’.
…or whatever it is that would cause a giant ant to break all of its legs.
The Cube/Square Law?
Weight increases faster than strength?
Does make me wonder what was going on—did he get the effect of his own stereotypes about violent lesbians?
If he did, then he’s just got himself a vagina and that pouch may be compensating for something. 😉
I refer you to exhibit A, i.e. “They’re getting… smaller?”
I suppose he might have intended to turn Little Sappho into an ogrish beserker and make her attack Gynostar, but that’s not as fun.
That is what happens when you abuse anabolic steroids.
Shouldn’t he have 3 days of stubble, a metal chin, an enormous gun and a hairstyle that can only be described as a mohawky-tail?
Don’t give him ideas!
Bahahaha!
No, that’s next level.
Maybe all those extra straps criss-crossing his groin are meant to keep his legs from flying apart somehow. He’s been maintaining the same open-legged stance for a while now. If it gets any worse, I think he’s going to split in half.
It’s too bad this idea has made things worse. But Gyno-Star has rather limited options. As she stated in an earlier panel, the more she fights the more ridiculous her posing gets. So what happens now?
I think you may have something there. Since Gyno has gone all super stereotype without breaking her back then he will have the same durability and limitations. He will become the ultimate DC/Marvel example of how not to draw or choreograph a hero.
This gonna be good.
Dang it, i wanted to see how objectifying Little Sappho would have turned out, just to see how she would react. Probably a lot of cringing 😛
Let’s see… what would be a comic-style idolization of the “little Sis” and “lesbian” type tropes?
(think think think)
Something like this, perhaps?

Massive organ failure imminent.
Either a massive heart attack from putting so much stress on it with all that weight or his bones will shatter. The serum may have changed his outward appearance but I doubt it did anything to bolster basic human support structure.
He’s a true Liefeldian character- his feet aren’t visible!
Hello Lady,
Funny strip. I hope that you are well and tribulations are the reason for your infrequent posts. I like your rather funky ‘toon. Keep it up!
How do you *miss* with eyesight that is set at the speed of light?
No, “Yoink” could save her from being seen.
This guy really needs an eye check-up…
Eyesight is not really as fast as the light transmitting the data. It does take the brain some time to process any incoming optical data into a perception.
Similarly, we would not expect anyone to be able to react instantly. A sufficiently swift and unexpected “Yoink” that accurately predicts the when the guy will begin firing could get Little Sappho out of the way before The Objectifier has a chance to react and shift his gaze.
Sleight of human being?
Perhaps the Objectifier’s gaze takes a moment to charge up, when he can’t see what his target is doing? But the paths of his eyebeams does suggest his vision is out of focus; maybe he hasn’t adjusted to not needing glasses.

Cyclops misses occasionally. I always just figured the Male Gaze worked on a similar principle
Hey, I thought I would let the webmaster know that my Symantec anti-virus just told me that it blocked a Blackhole toolkit on this webpage. I do not know if there is anything you can do to prevent this, but I thought I should let you know.
I wonder if he can reach his face or not.
I love Lil’ Sappho’s expression in the second panel. 😀
“…Bitch, we are going to DISCUSS this later!”
