What are the odds that Naomi won’t pistol whip a Fed until Zed shows up?

Better yet, how long do you think Zed will stand there watching Naomi beat the crap out of the fed with 1/2 her top off before he finally stops the fight?

The elbow is more effective at that range but a strike like that is telegraphed like waving a flag… I”m frankly shocked Naomi would get surprised like that…

With the Dawes and an ornery bull outside, i don’t think she’ll make the gate… and “backup” mat have a hard time getting in .
Despite tge FACT that she threw the first punch, it’s assault of a federal officer. I smell a set-up.
Oh hell, party time! And great wardrobe malfunction for all who were wondering earlier.

Real World: That elbow is not lethal.
Real World: Naomi’s retaliation is lethal. Given the position of Naomi’s hands, my money is on numerous shards of nasal bone and cartilage several inches deep into Inspector Quan’s brain as well as at least two crushed cervical vertebrae.
Real World: Inspector Quan will never get to throw the punch from her cocked right hand. From the beginning, her feet were poorly positioned, and her left elbow was hampered coming out of her jacket to generate any force for either her first or her planned second blow. Her body is wide open to any number of lethal counter-attacks and her momentum is going to carry her right into Naomi’s strike.
Clearly, Inspector Quan is a “wonder graduate” of one of the two-hour “hand-to-gland” courses many of our Federal agencies seem to think are effective. Nobody ever taught her, and she has never experienced true hand-to-hand combat.
Even if Zed is six feet away, it will be over before he can get there.
If there were a level three trauma center right next door, there will be nothing left for them to save.
It does not matter that the soon to be deceased is a Federal agent.
The training is hard-wired into Naomi’s DNA and her response is instinctive.
“Stem Lock” has no meaning to Naomi (or Zed for that matter). Naomi couldn’t “pull a punch” if she wanted to. The blows will come up from her legs and finish several inches beyond her target.
The autopsy report will use words similar to “bone structures were observed to be shattered (pulverized, anihilated, destroyed, take your pick) beyond any capability for surgical repair. Numerous bone fragments were observed to be dispersed multi-directionally, several inches deep into the soft tissue surrounding the original structures whose remnants are largely unrecognizable.”
An inexperienced physician will find it difficult to believe that any human being could generate that much damage in one or two blows, especially a woman.
A wise physician will recognize the results of world-class training diligently applied.
Don’t mess with the pros.
The Greek playwright and “Father of Comedy,” Aristophanes called this match correctly over 2,400 year ago:
“Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupidity lasts forever.”

In Texas, a lovely lady with a gun drawn on another female would draw tons of attention. Female Two hitting the first female would result in more attention, guns being drawn and the County Sheriff being called to sort it out. Security would ramp up and the Fed agent would be questioned, if possible. Other federal agents would be searched for just in case of a multiple layer attack. Phone and radio jammers could be activated to prevent communications between attackers.

Boogers. They both are too adorable to be fighting. Mud wrasslin’, yeah. And just how the heck can the jacket in her left hand turn into a pistol in 1/5 second?
Naomi (bless her Eve’s Puddings) apparently has Good Witch magic on her side in order to accomplish that transformation.
The Feeb Lady ain’t got a chance, but I hope nobody gets dinged too badly.

Why did Naomi let her remain on her feet for the search? Having to control the two pistols in that outfit is quite a disadvantage I would have thought she would avoid, unless baiting her opponent. Interesting strategy.

Saturday’s toon, the holster is empty. Control the weapon first people. Naomi has lightning fast hand changes and I suspect that Zed has also drawn, since he got the initial warning of the interloper on premises and Naomi calls his name.
Artistic license has Naomi’s gun sliding across the floor next and then its game on. My money is still on Naomi but the Fed chick is some “ancient Chinese secret” agent with genetically inbred chop sockiness, hence the Quan name. Also note the oblique reference to the Q’anon similarity. Maybe she has info that will enlighten us all, once Quan is vetted by the DD tribe, if she survives the sorority initiation and makes Zed a sandwich.

Said the other day they’d end up hand-to-hand and it would be a good one…the one chick a career Mossad killer and the other trained up by us or the chinks, Somebody will end up comatose or dead pretty quick, but I did say I hope they get down to panties only panties first.
I’m all for a good hot chick brawl, but whatever Quan (and Smith?) have as an end game, she does have a strange strategy. Are our FIB’ers really that bad at their job or is there something else in store? Hmmm?
Oh well whatevs, back to titties for now. 🙂

In panel 2, it looks like Naomi is bringing her hand down to control the weapon. At least, it looks that way to me. But why didn’t Naomi have her prisoner stand against the wall with her weight on her hands and spread-eagled?
“…stand against the wall with her weight on her hands and spread-eagled…”
Man that makes me think of that upside-down spreak-eagle of Skye he used as an (awesomely effective) lure. Absolutely, up against the wall and spread ’em agent Quan…maybe add a little come-hither glance over the shoulder? Or a death stare, either way hot as hell.
spread-eagle, although a nice spreak- might be interesting.
BTW Chris, what happened to that incredible Skye pose?

Anyway Chris, that large portrait was usually positioned under the toon where your ads are now…and I think used during fundraising time too?
The iconic Skye, tats and all, on her belly and striking a very welcoming pose…as sultry and tempting and twisted as anything Vargas ever did.
More memorable for me maybe because you know, Ass Man.

Is there a bag of Jello powder in the Kitchen…
…or throw a bucket of ice water on them to break it up….and do other things.
I rather doubt that that would have any effect on Naomi, at the least.
