Panel 2: Might there be a specific reason why Thugboy refers to Emp as "Princess"? Why, yes, in fact there is such a reason; and unlike the print and digital readers of the original Empowered vol. 9, you lucky webcomic readers will get to see the explanation, as I'm going to restore a lengthy scene from the middle of the book that I had to cut in order to buy myself more pagecount for the book's climactic chapter. (Readers of Empowered Deluxe vol. 3's Bonus Material section  and $5+ tier Patreon subscribers have already seen this missing chapter, I should note.)

Next week on the webcomic serialization, our fourth apartment-mate stentoriously weighs in on Emp's uncertain if not perilous (parlous?) situation.

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!
