Superhero Girl 57


Hey, a superhero with a name! I love drawing Spectacle, with her big ponytail and arm socks. She's so cute.

Anyway, there's a long personal reason behind this strip, but I don't really feel like getting into it. Just chalk it up to 'sometimes you have crappy days/weeks/months, and you can't imagine that anyone would ever enjoy the work you're putting out there, and when they say they do, it's kind of a shock and you don't believe them' feelings. Yeah. <:)

    I really enjoy the work you put out here, even if shocks you and you don't believe me.

    I wonder if you want to wear a skirt when you're flying over people's heads...

    Spectacle is the perfect name for her. It fits so well...

    I have to say, from the strip so far, I understand both SHG's confusion at being an inspiration and the fact that she was one. On one hand: her mom nags her, she enemy gets the job she was interviewing for, and the media misunderstands her completely when she was just trying to save her brother from a hipster super-villain with a shrink-ray.

    On the other hand, she totally flung a giant octo-kitty monster into space.

    I wondered what the symbol on her shirt was. Now I know.

    I too enjoy the work you put out there. Thanks!

    We don't get enough arm socks in superhero fashion. Thank you for your attempts to make them a thing. :)

    Like any self-respecting be-skirted superhero, Spectacle wears bike shorts under her skirt. :)

    Sensible! Especially in the north.

    I love the name, but she'll always be Glasses Girl to me. =^-^=

    Though I do love the double-meaning to her name. :)

    Baffling, yeah, but still something like that has got to make your day.

    I agree with Robert, the name is awesome.

    Know exactly how she got her powers.

    Industrial accident.

    Fell into a lens-grinding machine.

    Made a Spectacle of herself.
