Panel 4: Gotta say that I still like the stricken look Ninjette gives Thugboy upon hearing Emp's vaguely horrific statement.

Panel 5: As will be established later on in this volume, Emp clearly does appreciate being handled firmly. (Ahem.)

Next week on the webcomic serialization, warm & fuzzy snuggling continues unabated through the entire week!

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. Golly!
