Panel 3: And lo, we’re back to the Mightier Pen Empfic mentioned in passing a while back. Yay? Note that Ghost Writer—nay, Mightier Pen must have been a fellow Of A Certain Age, even as of 2014, to know what the heck “correctional tape” was. (Or, technically, still is.)

So ol' "MP" is the leader of the apparently infamous “Posse Pernicious”; good to know, I suspect!

Stand by for Empowered vol.9’s deleted scene to kick in with tomorrow’s page, folks!

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. So, who knows what today's post might feature? Could be Life Drawing or Distressed Damsels content (both of which are featured at least three times per month), or something in the Work Stages, Vintage Con Sketches or Design departments, or possibly something entirely new. Golly!
