Moving quickly, Laser Lass disarms the nuclear warhead, removing the threat from Tinsel Town. One more loose end remains: that of Mondo Mongol. Through sheer luck, he has evaded capture multiple times, but Laser Lass knows that she cannot rest, nor even decently attire herself, until he is captured. Resigned to this, she sets out to search the campus until he is found. 

In the performance of this task, she passes many people she knows as her alter ego: grad student Trudy Teal. It i...

With a dexterity not usually associated with nipples, Laser Lass enters the security code and reverses the door's fateful descent. The immediate disaster has been averted, but the problem of Mondo Mongol still being at large still looms. Also the gnomes spring textile harvest is well ahead of schedule.

Wow, 40 pages of this. For all those who don't know, this story was originally going to be no longer than 25 pages. I really seem to have trouble making a comic story that clocks in at le...

Now that the digital sign-in pad is within range, Laser Lass stretches herself towards the keypad. Though the thought of it is distasteful to our fledgling heroine, she uses the only extremities she has available.

This page is based on an idea that came to me in 2009 or 2010. At that time I was using an ipod shuffle to listen to audiobooks, podcasts and stuff like that (I was an early adopter of podcasts) and I had a tendency to wear button up shirts with a pocket on the front. The ipad...

Reaching out desperately with the only limb available to her, Laser Lass manages to snag the stylus and drag the sign-in tablet to within range. While her goal of stopping Mondo Mongol's Mad Mandate is one step closer, she still has a long way to go before she, and the good people of Tinsel Town, can rest easy. Meanwhile, Millie -social media maven and ardent admirer of Laser Lass- gets a few more shots for her Insta reel.

I have to confess, I'm not much of a foot guy, but I think t...

A dim glimmer of hope is ignited when Laser Lass spies the dangling stylus on the arm mounted digital sign-in tablet. (a commonly used security measure at many campus nuclear reactors, no need to look it up) Using her flexibility, she prepares to reach out for the writing instrument with her leg. 

Meanwhile, an ardent admirer of Laser Lass has decided to take advantage of this situation to take a few selfies with our heroine. As if that wasn't enough, a third participant has also j...

Laser Lass is now holding up the door, which is preventing the missile from launching: You guys know the stakes by this point. Alas, it's not a final victory as her strength has limitations, and could run out at any time. The day is not won yet.

Mondo Mongol points this out to our heroine just before taking his leave, Laser Lass rebukes him with the worst language she knows. 

Believe it or not, we're pretty close to wrapping things up here, just a few more pages to go! I lear...

Laser Lass Pages 34 and 35

Laser Lass continues to push her powers to the limit to keep the blast door from closing. Though the strain is great, she pushes through and manages to get the door up and keep the people of Tinsel Town safe for the time being. The nuclear plant workers are very impressed.

Double page day! I had some spare time over March break (not enough, if I'm being honest with y'all, but more than I usually get) and I was able to expand the door lifting bit with a splash page (a comic page that is ...

Laser Lass Page 33

No mere door is faster than Laser Lass! She gets out of the way and clamps down on the edge of the offending exit, and uses her laser strength to move it upwards.

Had to crack out some anatomy references for this one. I've been working on my muscle structure and figure drawing for the last couple of years, but I will admit to using my main character's slender, soft form as an excuse to fudge the details from time to time. I decided, though, that if Laser Lass was supposed to be strainin...

Laser Lass Page 32

And now Mondo Mongol strikes! Having used his strategic wiles to lure our heroine into position, he activates the blast door, which comes down with incredible force!

Ho Jiminy! now Laser Lass is facing some real peril here. Not just naked, not simply unable to use her full power due to her surroundings, not merely unable to even fight properly due to the aforementioned nakedness, now she's about to be pulverized by a 30 ton steel door! They don't tell you about these days in superhero t...

Laser Lass Page 31

Note: Upon reflection, I was really not happy with panel 2 of this page, so I reworked it. I'm including the old version, just for the sake of history and junk, but the first page in this post is now going to be the "official" page and the other page will be...I don't know, an alternative universe or something. 😊

Laser Lass is stuck in a corner, superheroically speaking. Unable to use her laser abilities to collar Mondo Mongol, and too embarrassed to fight him hand to hand due to he...

"The Interview" dump (A very old story I did)

A couple of people have mentioned to me that they can't get The Interview anywhere, so I decided to upload it to my Patreon when I had the time. Well, today I had the time, so up it goes.

For those of you not in the know, The Interview is a story I did a long time ago: before covid, before there was a Marvel Cinematic Universe, back when everyone wore bowler hats and rode bicycles with the really big wheel in the front. 

Point is, it drawn was a long time ago, and my art refl...

Laser Lass Page 30

Laser Lass reasserts that. despite her current circumstances, she still plans to put a stop to Mondo Mongol's unhinged vendetta against Tinsel Town. She is unaware, however, that she's become inattentive in covering herself. Mondo responds with a swift photography attack that leaves our heroine flustered, looking on in annoyance as Mondo peruses his work.

I don't know if Mondo has thought this through all the way, but you have to admire his chutzpah. 

Laser Lass Page 29

Laser Lass doesn't need super guessing abilities to figure out why the executives in Tinsel Town didn't care for Mondo Mongol's script. This seems to upset Mondo, but he calms back down again pretty quickly. Laser Lass suggests that maybe this is an extreme response to constructive criticism, but Mondo has made up his mind.

 Mondo Mondo does seem to have a talent for missile building, though. It's a shame he can't channel his creative urges in that direction, but he's not the first...

Laser Lass Page 28

Mondo Mongol may have taken things a bit too far, but he did it in the name of getting Laser Lass's attention, which he was able to do. Reluctantly, Laser Lass hears him out as he begins his tale of misfortune. 

As I mentioned before, having Laser Lass let her hair down (or her hair being forced to come down, as the case may be) wasn't something I'd planned to do. Part of the problem with that was that I really didn't have anything in mind for what her hair looked like when it WAS ...

Laser Lass Page 27

Pour one out for the ponytail.

As Laser Lass admonishes the curious workers, Mondo Mongol goes on the offensive, throwing a dagger at our heroine. Her laser senses warn her in the nick of time, and she dodges the attack, but her scrunchy is not so lucky. It seems things have been kicked up a notch.

Someone, (I believe it was Anonny Moose, but correct me if I'm wrong) requested that Laser Lass's hair get let down before the end of the story. I wasn't originally planning to do it, b...

Laser Lass Page 26

Adaptability proves to be the downfall of Laser Lass's borrowed vest as it seems to dissolve into a series of ever tinier components until it collapses into unwearability. Perhaps this shoddy vest embodies a lesson for all of us: that bending yourself to the needs of others, while it seems nice on the surface, is ultimately destructive and we should strive to be individuals, each marching to our own band, twirling our own baton, and playing our own tuba.

Or it could simply be a crappy v...

Laser Lass Page 25

Laser Lass confronts Mondo Mongol, demanding clarification about his apparent lack of conscious motivation for his actions. The villain counters with a rebuttal that admittedly has some merit. He follows this up with a compliment about our heroine's grooming choices. Meanwhile, the nuclear plant personnel, ever the sticklers, continue to make sure things are on the up and up. 

Couple of tricky panels here: the low angle in panel one, in particular, was a challenge. I think the ENF ...

Laser Lass Page 24

Laser Lass's vest difficulties are temporarily forgotten as she enters the chamber where Mondo Mongol has been unfolding his true plan. A massive nuclear missile stands, ready to launch, in the middle of Awesome University's campus. Things don't get much worse than this, friends. 

For his part, Mondo Mongol seems to be distracted, himself. Ironically, this could be due to the lack of vest that has currently slipped Laser Lass's mind. The only people still focused on what they're do...

Laser Lass Page 23

Heedless of the structurally unstable nature of her new garb, Laser Lass hurtles into the hallway in pursuit of Mondo Mongol. Once she learn his destination, however, even she has to stop short and ponder the implications. History's greatest supervillain is headed for a nuclear reactor. It's enough to make anyone clench up in apprehension.  

For better or for worse, we're getting closer to the end of this thing. In the specifics, it's a little different than I had envisioned it, bu...

Happy New Year and Sorry!

Hi everyone, your old pal Legmuscle here.

One of my big problems I have when interacting with the web space is I'm not very communicative. I often present a blank, inscrutable edifice that spits out weekly boob stories but is otherwise silent. I always feel like these communiques are, not a waste of time, but a drain on mental energy that I could be spending hunched over my tablet perfecting my nipple shading techniques. Intellectually, I know speaking to my audience is not a waste of ...

Laser Lass Page 22

After having decided to work within the limits of her impromptu crime fighting attire, Laser Lass spots her quarry passing by mere meters away. She calls out to him, but he ignores her. Her attempts to further leverage her authority are stymied by the safety garment's heretofore unnoticed customization features. 

I don't know if anyone in the audience missed him, particularly, but Mondo Mongol has finally reappeared in the story! It's been 14 pages since he was last seen: which I t...

Laser Lass Page 21

I'm just realizing as I'm writing this post that there may be some of you out there who are new to my audience and may not be up on all the Legmuscle-verse deep lore. Such people could be forgiven for not understanding why Laser Lass is not freaked out by gnomes stealing her boots off of her feet. 

Back in...God, it must be 2007 or 2008, I drew a comic story called "The Interview" where a job interview is interrupted by invisible (to most people) gnomes who like to steal women's cl...

Laser Lass Page 20

Laser Lady's speech, though truncated, was sufficiently inspirational to motivate our heroine to continue her mission. And -even better- she spots something she might be able to use to cover herself! Other aspects of her situational awareness could use some work, however.

There's a lot of butt on this page, I'd say it's about one third butt if my math is correct. I remember really wanting to draw a girl with their butt pressed against glass, and I did, but I didn't think the image was g...

Christmas animation: Jiggle Bells

Hopefully this works.

In honour of the holiday season, which is now fully upon us, mauling us all with festive cheer and junk, I have prepared a nice little animation. I have included three versions of said animation: One where Santa's little helper is gradually denuded, and one where she is nude for the whole thing, simply because I thought the animation loop for her being nude turned pretty well and needed a more robust showcase. 

I've uploaded the files to dropbox, which t...

Laser Lass Page 19

This might be one of those ones that doesn't go up Deviantart when the time comes. 😅

Laser Lady attempts to give one of her patented motivational speeches to her less experienced partner, but it cut off by unforeseen circumstances. 

This page is one of those ones where everything clicked, and this is in spite of being four panels, three of which feature some pretty tricky (for me, at least) poses. Even a month after I drew it, it still makes me happy to gaze upon it. Hopef...

Laser Lass Page 18

Laser Lass reaches Laser Lady, who -despite what she might be saying- seems to be having issues of her own. Always the consummate professional, however, Honey Baxter makes sure she doesn't let her situation affect her ability to counsel her sidekick in her time of need.

Laser Lass, meanwhile, seems to have also attracted some attention from the nuclear plant's curious staff, who gather to get a closer look at the visitor to their workplace. 

I'd imagine the thing that this pa...

It's been a while since I did one of these, guess it's time for another.

I wanted to post this on Monday but I hadn't finished it by that time (schedule changes will always be my Achilles heel) so I'm just posting it in the middle of the afternoon on a random-ass Wednesday.

Also, it has a title now. It's officially a story!

Laser Lass Page 17

Her nudity has caught up with her, and the full reality of her situation has caught up with Laser Lass. Taking stock of her situation, she makes the difficult decision to scrub the mission. Perhaps, she thinks, there's another superhero in the area who might be able to take her place. Perhaps Mothwoman is in town. Pressing her buttocks against a glass wall, she activates her wrist mounted communicator and attempts to reach her mentor.

One of the little things I wanted to do was have a c...

Emperor Boxes

I noticed that some of the artwork in the ENF art sphere seemed to be unusually box related. I asked around, and box-related ENF is the thing to be doing right now. Never wanting to be left out of a trend, I sat down at my tablet and whipped up this quick FOMO fuelled box comic, jumping on the bandwagon just as it leaves the station. 

Do wagons have stations? I don't know. It's very late right now, and I probably should be asleep.  

Laser Lass Page 16

During the course of her conversation with the nuclear plant worker, let's call him Roy, it's brought to Laser Lass's attention that her clothing predicament is even worse than she believed. This news overwhelms even her heroic resolve and she flees the situation, covering her shame as she does so. Don't be too hard on our heroine, though, she is, like all of us, only human.
