Panel 1: Must admit, the sheer goofiness of this crappy Empowered supervillain’s “chronoshillelagh” still cracks me up. And yes, I am in fact aware that a baseball bat has very, very little to do with a proper Irish shillelagh, other than both being forms of blunt-trauma-inducing clubs—but this dumbass bad guy doesn’t necessarily know that.

Panel 4: By this point, I’d realized, far too late, that electing to draw all these g-d clock faces—and their maddeningly difficult-to-align numbers—was an incredibly bad idea. Once again, Writer Me accidentally steers Artist Me onto a path of unanticipated pain and torment. Gee, thanks a lot, Writer Me.
