Panel 4: TBH, I really would've preferred that the lone tail of Maidman's word-balloon chain was pointing to his face and not to the background image's crotch, but the results are indeed kind of amusing.
Panel 5: "Why I wear a target on my ____" is, of course, an oblique reference to a famous line from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
Next week on the webcomic, stand by for yet more jarring jumps between B&W interstitial vignettes and the full-color primary narrative!
Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching out
more worktime to complete the long-gestating Empowered vol. 12,
I've switched over to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday Patreon posting schedule that
won't feature the fixed content format I previously used. So, who knows what
today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed
Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per
month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design
departments, or possibly something entirely new, such as updates on
fantasy test projects The Last Party and The Chaste
and the Chained. Golly!
