PAGE 1
The color palette of this comic is dusty, with dark maroons, pinks, pale yellows, white and black. It's got a noisy gritty layer treatment, lending itself to a vintage feeling.

The characters in todays comic are the following:

- Ripley, the author is a nonbinary person with glasses, shaggy black hair, a a chain around their neck, a white lab coat with yellow latex gloves, and yellow goggles on their forehead.
- Franci, a cis black woman (she/her), who is reappearing from Ripley's previous comic about periods in the wilderness. She also wears a white lab coat and yellow goggles, but her gloves are dark purple and go all the way up to her elbows. Her curly hair is pulled back in a braid, with a poof of bangs over her forehead.

"At last!" Franci exclaims, gesturing to an enormous scientific machine that towers over her. "The day has come to test my latest invention! This shrink ray will revolutionize the world in making all thins FUN-SIZED!"

Now pointing dramatically to Ripley, she orders "Active the Shrinkinator!"

"You got it!" Says Ripley, yanking down a giant switch with both their hands, creating a loud CLUNK! sound. The sign over it warns "DANGER!"

"Yes! Yes! BWAHAHHA-HA-HA!" Crows Franci as a bolt of electrified light zaps out of a staff with multiple disks and a bulb at its tip. Clipboard in hand, Ripley adjusts their goggles, smiling in approval at the scene unfolding before them.

"Success!" Franci exclaims, holding a pocket-sized vibrator aloft. It has a short handle and a tiny little neck that connects to a rounded ball-shape at the top. "A Magic Wand vibrator at 1/4th size!"

"Ooh..." Ripley coos in wonder.

Franci rips open her lab coat, exposing her dark purple bra underneath. "Testing time!!"

"Yes! My favorite part!" Concurs Ripley as they click their pen in one hand and ready their clipboard in the other.

"Greetings, perverts!" A tiny Ripley welcomes us while standing next to a giant Micro Magic Wand, which a helpful note clarifies is "Not to scale". They are taking notes on their clipboard as they continue to talk to us. "Today we're reviewing the Magic Wand Micro."

Around the vibrator, its stats are posted: 4.5" x 1.3", $64.99, soft silicone head, 3 speeds: 4,5000 RPM, 5,500 RPM, 6,500 RPM, USB-C Rechargeable (one fewer cable to lose!), 4 patterns: Beats, slow pulse, Fast pulse, wave.

"I like this 'Wave' pattern the most. It feels longer than similar patterns on other ibes and goes lower than the lowest steady setting." Ripley says, showing us a big heart they drew on their clipboard.

Now checking back further in their notes, Ripley continues, "After hours of dedicated research, we discovered that the Mico packs BIG power in a tiny package! The petite head is just the right size to nestle between your labia but large enough to disperse sensation over the entire clitoris!" In the background, Franci kicks up her legs as she puts the Micro to use.


PAGE 3
Ripley gestures with discontent at a digram using a pointing wand. The diagram shows a vibrator pushing a clitoris to the side, leaving it exposed to the plain air. A helpful icon of a thumbs down illustrates that this is not ideal. "A big problem I have with most vibrators is that they tend to push my clitoris to one side or the other. While I can incorporate that into play, most of the time it's just... frustrating."

Now tapping their wand enthusiastically against a different diagram which shows the Micro's head fully shmooshing dead center between the model's labia, Ripley continues, "But the Micro's flat head is just squishy enough to prevent that kind of unwanted movement! I cannot overstate how awesome that is for me."

The page fills up with latex-gloved hands holding the Micros in a variety of different configurations while the narration reads, "Additionally, nothing kills the mood for me more than hand pain. Ergo, a toy's ergonomics are a high priority. I found the Micro comfortable almost any way I held it! Especially since it doesn't have a long, heavy handle to pull at my wrist. (Or to get caught in my sheets!)"


PAGE 4
Narration: Something that stuck out to me, considering the price point, was the lack of waterproofing.

Now shrugging next to an enormous version of the Micro, Ripley adds "This might be a deal breaker for some, but not so much for me!"

Narration: I actually find the Micro's split, open body design (which is what makes it susceptible to water) way better for my chronic hand pain. The vibes mostly stay up at the business end, away from my hands and that's pretty neat. So if waterproofing is important to you, you're gonna want to look elsewhere.

Still miniaturized, Ripley gestures to an oversize Micro, saying, "But, as much as I like this guy, there are a few things they could work on."

The narration points to the two round buttons on the body of the Micro, explaining, "These buttons could be WAY more tactile. They are TINY and impossible to find by touch along when it's vibrating."

To the side, Franci sits up in frustration, fumbling with her Micro. "Come on..." She grumbles at it.

The scene suddenly pitch black, Ripley and Franci are illuminated by a beam of light emanating from the Micro.

"And I don't know about ya'll, but most of my playtime takes place in dark or dim light. So having a lighthouse on my crotch isn't my idea of a good time!"

The narration explains, "A power indicator never needs to be this bright!"

"Whoa" marvels Franci.

Two bell jars are on display next to each other. Under the first one, labeled "fig.69b Bullet" we see the classic "egg" vibrator with a cord trailing off one end. The narration above it reads, "At this size I consider the Micro more a fancy bullet than a 'downsized wand.' But what it lacks in punch it makes up for in the classic Magic Wand RUMBLE."

The next bell jar is labeled "fig.69w WAND" and contains the classic 1970s style uber-sized Magic Wand with its mega-long handle, cord, and a rounded-but-indented head. The narration continues, "Like the difference between a cello and a violin, the Micro hits those deep notes without the sharpness I've come to expect from bullets."

Between the two bell jars, a Micro Magic Wand is proudly presented on its own pedestal, glowing and sparkling.

"But, uh, $65 is huge for a bullet." Ripley says skeptically, gesturing at their clipboard notes. "While this fun little guy meets a lot of my very specific needs there are probably cheaper options out there."

The notes on the clipboard read, "Comfortable to hold. Convenient to charge. Flat, squishy head. Deep vibrations that don't transfer." along with a checked box by each one.

Back the enormous Shrinkinator machine from the beginning of the comic, a fully nude Franci (except for gloves, goggles, and boots) stands expectantly before the device's business end, asking, "So was the experiment a succcess? Have we achieved fun-size?"

"I think we have!" Concurs Ripley, who holds their clipboard in one hand but now has a nice average-sized dark purple dildo in the other. "But what if next time we try... King size? I've got the perfect test subject..."
