Panel 1: When Scythebots Attack! (Ah, yes, a fresh and dandy 90s reference, as the first When Animals Attack TV special aired on Fox back in 1996, according to IMDB.)

Panel 4: Apparently, Deathmonger hardware >>>> Advanced Restraint Research hardware.

Next week on the webcomic, ol' DM leaves the scene, but not before tossing out yet another ominous but ambiguous statement; after that, well, it's "frying pan/ fire" time once again, as you might've guessed by now.

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!
