Panel 1: Careful with that apartment door, Overenthused and Superstrong Emp!

Panels 2-4: Nowadays, I would disguise my less-than-ideal lettering in those "hug number" captions by inverting 'em in Photoshop to white text inside a black caption box; for some unknown and ineffable reason, this simple brick makes mediocre and/or inadequate hand-lettering look much better than it actually is. Mysterious!

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, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
