EMPOWERED vol.12's "Crappy Xmas TV movie" scene!
Added 2022-12-23 18:34:28 +0000 UTCUPDATE: 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!

2022-12-24 00:12:03 +0000 UTCThis is great, but I think Bros did a similar joke to this with a fictional Hallmark movie called "A Holly Poly Christmas". The perils of timing, I suppose.

2022-12-23 22:29:52 +0000 UTCFun Fact: There are or were several actual movie and TV producers named Mark Hall, including one reasonably famous one: if you've ever heard of Cosgrove Hall Animation (British maker of children's animation, most famous for Count Duckula and Danger Mouse), the Hall in that was Mark Hall.
