Panel 1; "Casually carefree carnal cockerel" is quite a fine alliterative phrase, if I do say so myself. Bonus points for use of the term "prolixity," which was derived not from a thesaurus but from my fading recollection of the endless streams of vocabulary lists I had to pore over back in my middle-school spelling bee days. (I wasn't all that good, TBH, as I never got beyond the state level of my rather teeny New England homeland.)

Panel 4: Sound the "IT'S A TRAP" alert for Excessive Trapezius Mass on ol' Thugboy in this shot, folks! (Well, maybe he was going very, very heavy on the ol' barbell shrugs at this time.)

Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching 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, such as updates on fantasy test projects The Last Party and The Chaste and the Chained. Golly!
