Panel 2: Enjoy this very rare combination of both literal and figurative narrative elements, dear readers, as Real World Emp somehow perceives the figurative/metaphorical/whatever image of Maidman in the background!

Stand by for a return to luxurious full color with Guest Artist Emily Warren's next bunch of 10 Questions for the Maidman pages, won't you?

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. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
