Panel 1: Interesting that Emp apparently has limits in how much of her anxiety and nervousness that she would opt to show to her loved ones.

One of my favorite shots from the early portion of the book, must admit. Nicely done by 2013 Me, even if he was still indulging in sporadically cartoony figure proportions that I no longer favor.

Panel 4: Right...? (SPOILER: In response, I believe Ahnuld put it best in 1985's Commando.)

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. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
