Panel 1: Gotta say that the defunct "Year One" prose experiment I Am Empowered (serialized in excerpts on my Patreon) actually explored Emp's early Homeycrib-restroom emotional breakdowns in some detail. Golly!

Panel 3: I realized that I just (re)used the dialogue riff "Okay? OKAY?" in a page from Empowered vol. 12 that I finished yesterday. Whoops!

Today’s Patreon update: In an attempt to scratch 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. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
