Panel 1: Whoops! These jpegs are from a first-draft and tragically uncorrected version of the deleted Empowered vol. 9 scene, which is why the misspelling "scarp" appears in line 4, as opposed to the proper "scrap." (Sorry, but I'm too far behind with this week's webcomic posting to go back, fix the error in Photoshop, then upload it again.)

Panel 2: A wee touch of Emp's old-style doubt and uncertainty leaches into her Sexeh Roleplaying in this panel, alas.

Panel 5: This moment still amuses me perhaps more than it should, folks.

Next week on the webcomic, Emp & Thugboy's Bedroom Cosplay reaches its climax! (Ahem.)

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!
