I'm cranking this week's commentaries out on Christmas morning during a verra brief window of opportunity before other responsibilities claim my attention, alas, so I wouldn't expect a stupendous amount of text and/or insight this time around. Then again, you're getting these commentaries essentially for free, webcomic readers, so you'll just have to make do with what my seriously limited "free time" (as if) allows, okay?

On the other hand, if you'd care to financially support the ongoing endeavor that is Empowered (while gaining access to a truly firehose-worthy stream of my creative output both old and new), you could always check out my familiarly tacked-on final paragraph:

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!
