Panels 1-3: Emp’s Big Pouty Lips return—in every panel featuring her, for once! (Normally, I have to switch out to a more cartoony mouth to give her a different facial expression, as the ol’ Big Pouties don’t lend themselves to an especially dynamic expressive range.)

Panels 3-4: Behold, a state of the art video camera circa 2009-10, folks! (Probably aged more gracefully than Emp's CRT-monitor PC, at least.)

Panel 4: At lower left, behold the return of Ocelotina’s intern, as spotted briefly—and commented on by Emp—in the previous volume.
