Panel 3: No denying that Emp's "thiccness" was definitely increasing in degree throughout this volume, folks.

I'm vaguely puzzled by the repetition of "MISS EMP--!" in both of Manny's word balloons in panels 4 and 5, as I'm normally quite paranoid about reusing names or vocabulary in successive panels. Mysterious!

Today’s Patreon update: In an attempt to scratch 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.
