Panel 1: That atom symbol is supposed to be a tattoo around Plutonium Blonde’s navel; alas, I’m sporadically plagued by a peculiar drawing idiosyncrasy in which I place the belly button waaaaay too low on the lower torso, as seen here. Whoops!

Panel 4: The untranslated hiragana in Ninjette’s word balloon is, of course, “Nani…?” (As in, “what…?”) Couldn’t quite pull off that very distinctive manga font—which I adore, for some reason—when I lettered this panel by hand, alas.

Today’s Patreon update: As it’s a Wednesday, time for the $5+ Patron tiers to get their weekly dose of commissioned damsel-in-distress content, along the lines of the same material was eventually reworked into Empowered. (No idea what as to exactly that might be at this time, though; these commentaries are written much further out from posting than are my often last-minute Patreon updates.)
