We continue serialization of 2013's one-shot Empowered: Nine Beers with Ninjette (as collected in the anthology volume Empowered Unchained), featuring sweet B&W art by Guest Artist Takeshi Miyazawa and lettering by Susie Lee.

Yeahp, circa 2013 I used to watch a helluva lotta Lindy Hop dance videos, ranging from clips recorded at then-contemporary competitions to classics like the famous scene from 1941's Hellzapoppin'. Why, as my workday crawls to a close, I might check out a few such videos on YouTube later tonight over a few beers (though not, I should clarify, nine frickin' beers, as I am no ninja).

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. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
