Gots to get in the mandatory dose of "damsel in distress" imagery, folks.... though an upcoming chapter covers that content RDA quite a bit more thoroughly, in part 'cause that story had to deliver a full two volumes' worth of said material. (Plenty of distress is featured in Empowered vol. 11, to be sure, but not of the cheesecake-y, damsel-y sort.)

Next week on the webcomic serialization, as we spring boldly into the once futuristic year 2023, stand by for an explanation of how the heck this odd little scene is taking place! (Well, sorta.)

And now, as I'm finally done with these belated commentaries, time to end the ol' workday, pop the top on a beer or two (probably from the New Belgium Voodoo Ranger IPA line), and enjoy the next episode of Chainsaw Man!

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. Golly!
