Created by: Matt, Matthew, Tim and Dave
[ Dave went a bit mad and made an animated version of his section. Didn't have a ready way to incorporate it into the actual corpse but it'd be a shame to let it go to waste. Here it is. ]

Always loads of fun stuff in our corpses, but this one is just spectularly cohesive in its themes. I love the transitions - the transition from the first to the second panel is tremedously fluid (I mean, the whole continuation of the grave scene - nice!). And what's up with the Taurus icon next to the wet cat painting? Overall, I really like what this peice is saying about... innocense.

Are we sure Matt and Matthew aren't the same person? That's an amazing transition. The two of you must be working on the same celestial plane or something. Can I ask where that first section came from? Did you draw it, Matt?

Having trouble viewing the animated .gif.
The top two work wonderfully together. That cat!

Tim- I took it off the cover of an old "Choose Your Own Adventure" book.

Matt, I thought that image on the first section looked vaguely familiar. I was thinking it must have come from an old Encyclopedia Brown book I'd read long ago, but when you said "Choose Your Own Adventure" my brain got a de ja vu sense. Wasn't the original picture black & white? I don't recall it being colored, and I thought it was the protagonist opening a door to a cellar, not a grave. Much more creative use of old clipart than someone just scanning a model from a recent magazine. Parts 3 & 4 don't work as well for me as the first two. Each are powerful and well-made, but don't blend well enough from the previous work. It seems as if Tim & Dave each already had in mind what they wanted to say, and preferred pushing the previous work out of the way to get across their own ideas. Matthew followed the hints received from the bottom of Matt's piece, and let that mold his entry, which gave much more favorable results.

That animated bit is definitely well constructed, but I'm not sure how well it would fit into an otherwise static corpse. Very interesting idea, though...
