It’s not too hard to believe that this was one of the better days in a long time for Sun and Sabrina, judging by their ‘PhotoBooth’ pictures. Actually, that was a lot of fun to do and showing them as friends is always fun to write and draw. Of course, in their line of work, you’d think its inevitable they’ll be facing each other in the ring as competitors and thats going to be a whole other story. For now though, BFF’s and this page puts the cap on these Upstart girls for the rest of the chapter.
One small peek into what one of the other Upstart Girls is doing and then, onto the TV Tournament!
I must say.. unique page it is.. posting a snapshotas of Sabrina and Sun..
Snapshots 1: as usual, chicky lady pose
Snapshot 2: ah? why is Sun using cat claw? is that a sign, she’ll be in a stable with the Catgirls? hehehhe
Snapshot 3: Peace sign by Sabrina.. and ah? flying kiss from Sun.. Flying love kiss? or Kiss of death? heheh
Snapshot 4: ? ah? Sabrina kiss Sun? ah?
Panel 3: smooch smooch? ah? is Sun eating or something?
One small peek on one of the upstart girl is doing?
Krystin or Brooke..
I may guess, Krystin is in Commission Gabrielle office, in which she got issues about her lossing streak?
Brooke, hmmm.. I might guess, Brooke is shaving her hair off? maybe Brooke is dying her hair pink, like on the Halloween picture.. or maybe Brooke is packing her bag and quits. hehehe..
or Brooke is planning on something.. putting some nasty stuff on “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini’s food and stuff, so Sabrina will get sick before the match..Â
By the way, this chapter is great, we got to know Sabrina more.. heheh.. I might get to like her, maybe an “Ultragirl” Fan.. but not higher than the Hell’s Belles.. number 6.. on my most favorite “Rival Angels” Â
Re- Panel 3: ah? what’s up with Sun’s facial expression? is like Sun is licking icing on her fingers?
I like the photo of Sabrina and Sun. One fan say Sabrina totally win the TV title and I agree. One of the reason I like Sabrina is she nice to her fans and like them. Can’t wait on Monday.
AWWW! I love the Photo Booth Pictures! What a cute idea!
I like the guy who wants a pretzel. I wanna pretzel, too. Pretzel, with mustard, and a frosty frozen lemonade to wash it down.
Re; the photo booth pictures. Drama between Sun and sabrina is almost inevitable as RA continues for years and years and years. Those pictures will be used to show the breakdown of friendship. They will be burned, or ripped up, or simply tossed in the trash. It will be sad.
Hey MGC, we’ll make you a Sabrina fan yet. XD Â AS for Sun, the ‘smooching’ she’s doing is on her hand, exaggerating how the fans look up to Sabrina. Â Basically, she’s playfully ribbing Sabrina. As to which Upstart girl we’ll see, we’ll know for sure on Monday!
And.. I just realised that Sun cussed! Oh emm gee!!!
I know it, she’s got a potty mouth. XD
This one I really liked. It’s fun to see the fan adulation and the friendship and banter between Sabrina and Sun. Kudos.

Wow, I read the comic for the first time today. I planned to do a wrestling based comic myself once long ago and didn’t know how to put it together. You did awesomely.
Cool darkmark, I’m glad you dug the page. Â 🙂
I’ve just realized we learn more about Sun than Sabrina  in this chapter. It wasn’t outright obvious but in seeing Sun’s interactions with the fans, and later in her reactions to Sabrina’s flashback, we see she’s something of an introvert. I think Sun really is a bit put off by Sabrina’s popularity ( do recall, Brina’s featured in the promotions and sells more T shirts )  and doesn’t know quite how to deal with it. Sabrina went to college for a time, I wonder if that helped her socialize. She had a rugby scholarship, did college athletics help her interact with spectators?
Do note how Sun’s personality shifts when it’s just her and Sabrina, The Dragon persona is different from Sun’s natural self while Sabrina is Ultragirl all the time.
Sun’s appearance keeps changing compared to what I consider her definitive portrait, the match introduction in ep 92, now she has a rounder face and ‘beakier’ nose but you can still tell it’s her.Â
The photo booth is fun to see, young women are supposed to strike goofy poses in them. Sun does have her eyes closed a lot!! The ‘not quite right’ color is spot on… my daughter loves those booths and we have a bunch of photos.
In the comic world there are no doubt… c’mon you know it’s inevitable… Rival Angels fan websites. I can just see one of these fellows blogging about today’s events…
Interacting with fans is one of the real life aspects of celebritydom that I hope the Rival Angels pays attention to, positive ones like this are good for ratings. I can only wonder how this scenario would have worked out with the Hell’s Belles ( not that I think they hang out together offstage or go to amusement parks)… then again Brooke would have been all “Look at my low cut top! Got quarters?”
Looking forward to next week…
Hey RDF! Â Awesome comments and observations. Â I think Page 92 is ‘the look’ of Sun and I think I panel 2 might have got away from me a bit and the rest of it is work in progress. Â I’ll lock it down. XD Â Sun would’ve rather spent more time with Sabrina than with the fans. Â If anything, she looks at the fans as ‘intruding,’ but I think with any profile personality, its something that she’ll have to get used to. Â Sabrina’s college and rugby days helped a lot in handling the attention and through the course of Rival Angels, we’ll see the similarities and differences in the Upstart Girls histories.
