This one is definitely a contender for 'Best Title Ever'.

I agree, best title ever.

There is a great story running all the way through this one, with text binding the disparate styles together:

+ In panel one, we learn of "a man who was not there."

+ In panel two, he's coming for the subject, driving her(?) crazy with his vileness.

+ In panel three, she's clearly going mad, and is now singing Sleeping Beauty's song to another man who isn't there.

+ In panel four, she's lost it completely, screaming gibberish and telling off the staff.

Great corpse!

By far the most cohesive piece in relation to its title. Good work everybody!

What if babies really had talons? We might not be so quick to judge, is all I'm saying.

Oh wow, the title would make a fabulous song lyric. *g*

I love the way there is a story running down, from my 'yesterday upon the stairs' (I was watching Velvet Goldmine at the time *g*) to the 'fuck off and leave me alone'

And the Edward scissorhand baby just ads that touch of class, I think. *g*

There is actually some cross corpse similarity in this one - there is a recent-ish corpse in the archive with a similar section title to mine, also staring a clock with wings. Freaked me out when I saw it. *g*

Baby Wolverine. Oh that just makes my morning! I also concur with the title. I love it when the chaos mimics coherency. Serve the ego.

Plus where the h*ll is that seam between the last two panels!!?? (Matt, you rule.)

I think constable macmillan needs to lay off the bottle. lol ;o)

Also, I am in love with the paranoia rant ending with, "I can hear him. He's coming for me. Someday my prince will come." It's one of those multi-level button touchers.

Mindlessly echoing an above comment: great transition, Matt.

I'm not sure whether I'm coming or going here. It's as if Lewis Carroll and Hunter S. Thompson co-wrote a sequel to "Nightmare on Elm Street." Well played, everyone.
