Panel 3: Note that I traced that "nose art" image of "Miss Emp" from its original appearance in Empowered vol. 4, hence the somewhat different figure proportions on Emp—that is, a larger head size than I was drawing elsewhere in vol. 9.

BTW, on the topic of links like the one above, I only today noticed that my page numbering for a decent chunk of vol. 9 has been off by one digit, as I skipped over an interstitial page originally located between the first and second chapters; this means that any vol. 9 links posted since the start of "Power Stripped" may well lead to the wrong page. Oops! (Note that I usually grab a printed version of the volume to look for an earlier page's number.)

I'm likely going to randomly label an upcoming page as, say, "117A" to wrench the page numbering back into alignment with the printed version, but that's not gonna help much when I'm linking back to the 40-odd misnumbered vol. 9 pages. Insincere apologies in advance, webcomic readers!

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!
