Volume 9 Page 146

Panel 1: That third word balloon is a bit too close to the top edge of the page, alas; in the original printing, the filled-in, solid black gutters surrounding every story page would've hid that flaw. (And lo, the webcomic format has a similar effect, as you can see.)

Panel 2: Gotta admit, I'm still waaaay too amused by the idea that this supervillain lair boasts custom labeled buckets.

Subscribers to the $5 and higher tiers on my Patreon might—well, miiiiight—remember that this "awakening by bucket" scene is cribbed from an older commissioned story in proto-Empowered format that featured plucky SF heroines "Rose and Lily" bedamseled by bad guys. (Rose and Lily are, of course, not to be confused with another pair of plucky SF heroines with more familiar names.) Speaking of said Patreon:

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!
