Panel 1: Ninjette sports what I've dubbed "the squiggle mouth," which for some reason always takes this form, with that distinctive jag appearing in the lips' line short of the halfway point. Dunno why, but only this very particular configuration of the squiggle works for me aesthetically.

Panel 2: Once again, I probably should've shrunken down the hiragana for nani? a fair bit; as I noted previously, I probably hand-lettered the kana oversize and intended to shrink 'em down for publication, but forgot to do so. (Oops.)

Panel 4: I'm perhaps a bit too amused by the spectacle of Ninjette slut-shaming her blackout-drunk self.

Also, I really should've subbed in "A... unique" instead of "An... unique" in the Demonwolf's dialogue, but this passed proofreading for some reason. Mysterious!

Today’s Patreon Update: For the first time ever, I'm taking a week off from the grind of every-weekday Patreon posting to A) get ahead on production of Empowered vol.12 and B) (re)build my buffer of prescheduled posts. Golly! My ginormous archive comprising two years' worth of everyday content (Empowered and Dirty Pair work, life drawings, vintage con sketches, Patron art requests & more) remains available for supporters' perusal, howeva.
