Pretty sure that I borrowed the term “INFERNAL SERVICE PROVIDER” from a book review or online discussion of early Empowered volumes, as this demonic fella wasn’t referred to by that title early on in the series.

I’d have to dig up the original scans of this page to make sure, but I recall having to do some after-the-fact Photoshoppery in an attempt to salvage this page’s shot of Young Spooky, as I think her neck might’ve been even longer and wonkier than we see here. Luckily, the jpegs I use for this webcomic aren’t high enough in resolution to fully expose whatever surgery was done to her profile shot.

Today’s Patreon Update: As I did last month, I'm taking off most of the third week of May from putting up new Patreon content, as I just can't keep up an every-weekday posting schedule while struggling to make progress on Empowered vol.12. 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.
