Panel 2: Once again, anther example of the randomly occurring stylistic flourish of cartoonishly big-headed figure proportions, a sporadic whimsy which would eventually disappear from my work.

Panel 3: After the deliberately small font size I used for hand-lettering Empowered vol. 6, here I’m accidentally stumbling into a much larger font size, causing the text to take up much more space than is strictly necessary. (Ah, the perils of lettering by hand and not by software, folks.) Let’s highlight this unfortunate tendency with the label “Excessive Font Size Alert,” shall we?

Panel 6: Brace yourselves for another sudden time jump with our next page, webcomic readers! (As has been noted before, this particular Empowered volume is singularly ill-suited for day-by-day serialization.)

Today’s Patreon update: Open slot in the weekly schedule today! Not sure what I’ll be posting, but something will go up today. I’ve been posting every weekday (sometimes multiple times per day) on this Patreon for over a year, so why stop now?
