And that’s the end for “Of Clingy Monkeys and Negative Excrescence,” folks. Hope the fighting between Emp and Thugboy didn’t stress y’all out too much; on the other hand, I felt like I needed to show that their relationship wasn’t entirely devoid of stresses and conflicts in the current era. (Note that they had multiple fairly serious fights during Empowered vol. 1, by contrast with the later, almost conflict-free volumes.)

Next time, onward to “Of Fantasy Points and Aftermathiness,” a vol. 6 episode that deals with the wider consequences of the disastrous ending of vol. 5.
