New strip. Now we really need to know what exactly is going on in her head, because this does not sound like the Hostess we all have come to know.

Whitewashing herself is pretty consistent.

Apparently there’s a paywall bonus comic where Hostess has an erotic dream while in her drug coma about Spinnerette where she realizes that Spinny and Heather have the same butt

It’s possible that there’s some connective tissue there, in the eroticism. Erotic connective tissue.

... Here's to hoping that she doesn't get permanently stuck as a giantess.

... Since when did Buzz get recruited into the National Guard? Last time we saw him, he was just a security guard at a university who merely happened to survive a North Korean superpowered operative's attack on said university and was present to participate in incinerating said operative's remains.

He was always and very explicitly referred to as a Badass Normal, as I recall. The idea that he's in the Guard isn't too bizarre.

Dunno, but I assume that Spinny is wearing Chekhov's size-changing alien gizmo.

Oh yes, the all-too-classic "soldier is so twitchy he fires his weapon at the slightest perceived threat without any actual orders to do so" trope.

And this after I read on Reddit yesterday that the US military has much stricter standards on firing one's weapon than modern US police — that is to say, soldiers are drilled to not fire upon anyone without express orders even if they're being shot at.

[up][up] I feel I should point out a quick reminder. This isn't the regular military, it's the National Guard (aka reservists at best).

But they're part of the US Armed Forces, so logically the training regime shouldn't be that much different; in fact, the National Guard should emphasize strict regulation of weapon use even more because it operates far more frequently in civilian areas than the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, which AFAIK only get involved in national emergencies that are so serious even the local National Guard units aren't enough (e.g. a hurricane that practically wiped out an entire major city and its surrounding areas).
