EMPOWERED vol.12's "Crappy Xmas TV movie" scene! (Patreon)

UPDATE: Whoops, accidentally scheduled this post to go live at 9:00 PM today instead of 9:00 AM; alas, a power outage this morning (high winds in my neck of the woods) prevented me from noticing that error. Wellp, now that the power's back, here's the g-d post a tad belatedly, folks!

Behold, as my Christmas-season gift to you fine Patrons, all three pages of the wacky AF "Crappy Xmas TV-Movie" reboot from June 2023's Empowered vol. 12, riffing on the yearly onslaught of ultra-formulaic holiday-themed romcoms.

Looks like the Bigger Spenders saw an early preview of the first two pages of this oddball scene a year ago, but I held back the final page, for reasons that will become obvious.

A few words: 

Those Yuletide gutters were a g-d nightmare, to put it mildly. 

BTW, I'm experiencing an odd sense of deja vu over a seemingly recent positive comment re: the wee detail of Elissa's phone case, but for the life of me I can't figure out where the hell I would've posted this image lately to have received said compliment.

And now, the heretofore unseen (I think) final page of the scene:

Since Empowered vol. 12's cover illo quite deliberately spoils this bit, now I felt like I could show the concluding page to you fine Patrons.

Note also by this point in the scene, I belatedly said to myself, "Ehh, screw drawing these elaborate festive gutters."

Anyhoo, Merry F**ing Christmas, dear Patrons!

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: We're rolling with 5 full weekdays worth of posts to finish off both December and the year of our Lord 2022, so stand by for plenty of content next week, folks!
