I was unaware that illegal drugs were an implication of ‘partying hard’, and thus called it accurately as a case of overeating plus drinking soda too fast.
Also, McBell plausibly is using some combination of mid and long-term performance enhancers – steroids, blood doping, androgens – in addition to her cardio, but she doesn’t seem to have the long term damage that goes with recreational drug use?
Long term? Shes like, what? 23? Maybe? I don’t think Shes at long term yet. Plus I don’t even think you’re right about what drugs she does, I bet she just smokes weed and stuff. Maybe has done coke a few times, I dunno. Probably not performance enhancers.
Mid-term here meaning stuff like blood doping, which wears off in weeks if not maintained. (Or seconds, if you nick an artery.) Long-term here meaning stuff like testosterone-as-a-performance-enhancer, which, even without antigynogens, probably has permanent effects.
And maybe that’s the intent, but I prefer my interpretation.
This is a setting where punching through a wall is a normal and attainable level of strength. I don’t think it’s fair to speculate on the use of performance enhancers on the part of mcbell just cause she’s more in shape than you can get in real life.
McBell probably just uses recreational drugs, like hallucinogens.
I mean, real life is a setting where punching through drywall is trivial and punching through some kinds of wood or brick walls is attainable. It’s the superleaps that are the main silly strength-related thing, at least that I recall.
Meanwhile, I think some kinds of performance enhancers (basically all the ones I know about that aren’t just stimulants) are kinda neat, actually, whereas recreational drugs have scary brain effects. (And vastly more expensive ones than getting really into meditation.)
The real question is: Is Honey onto Livewire and Fuchsia? (More precisely: Does she have a premonition?) Because a three-legged stool cannot be wobbly, so its clearly a pretense, isn’t it?

Wasn’t thinking pepperoni pizza as a hard drug, but too much of anything, I guess.
I was actually responding to the alt text rather than the comic directly.
I don’t think you should try to explain their skills with real life physiology and stuff. They’re like the X-men, this is just how they are.

Antigynogens? Do you mean estrogen blockers? Testosterone functions as an estrogen blocker, so you get its effects even without a separate blocker.
Oh huh, didn’t know that. I figured it was more symmetric than that.

And that leaves two… Alone… Together. How convenient.
Well this may not end well for the stairs.
i adore the little things like fuschia calling honeypot “honey” and all of them saying “i love you” as they go. this is some GOOD found family stuff
Good to know that Mcbell is the only one who takes cold medicine.
I appreciate this riff and am adopting it as headcanon.

Golly, you think she may be stalling for a reason?
You’re right, it’s definitely that. Totally not because she feels like PJ’s Big Nap is her fault in any capacity. Definitely not the guilt.
Good catch! But too somber an explaination, for my taste. Maybe it is just the utter incapacity to move due to pizza overload…
Just caught up with this comic after binging it for two days and i have a few notes
*ahem*
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this is great i can barely wait for more
Lmao, wasted on pizza and soda. True clownshoes behaviour.
I love these girls (plus Ragdoll!) They’re so precious!
speaking in lowercase is such a vibe
