Ha! The cows must have been out there swimming in the collective. As for the chicken morphing into ducks, well, that's just darn comical. :o)
It's very interesting how, with all the farm animal imagery (sheep, cows, chicken, ducks...) the corpse ends with something that looks like farm equipment.
The overall impression I am left with is a farm after a flood. Kind of like when the have those huge floods in the midwest every few years, we are inundated with news images of farms under water. Or maybe that last bit of O Brother Where Art Thou.

I think the title for my section was supposed to be "traversing the pastoral," but "personal" works, too.
I'm amazed at the cow and moon showing up in subsequent sections without any prompting -- way to tune into the cosmic waves, Joe and Roberto!

That's a lotta livestock!
"farm after a flood" really sums it up nicely, hilary.

"I think the title for my section was supposed to be 'traversing the pastoral,'"
This is what happens when the guy running things is hung over. Want I should change it?
I'd also like to say that recurring livestock is much more satisfying than recurring Bin Ladens.

This one is freaking me out...Jessica, those can't be little cows hanging from the yellow columns, can they? Maybe I just haven't had enough coffee this morning....

...Yeah, I guess I'd like it to change. It's not a big deal if it doesn't though.

Crazy!
Yes, Kelly, the face at the top of the inverted castle (from Burning Man '95) is based on a cow skull. Those are flags hanging from the columns.
I like that every panel has some mode of transportation (brigde, boat, kayak, ship, 6-pedaler bike) for its farm animals, except the ducks who are just fine on their own, trotting through space. Also cute that my grotesque extends David's classical facade, which has none. And I was worried that I'd be out of sync. Ha.
Hooray for utter whimsy!

I love the light-hearted or whimsical feeling, as Jessica put it, in this one. There's a story in here somewhere. It's great.

I've been watching the corpses trying to decide whether or not the site is a hoax; thank goodness you finally blew it and made it too obvious. Now I'm sure you guys are actually working together!!
Totally f-ing awesome!!!

hmmm... and aerial views of land/rock/planet formations, concluding with an earth-view of the sky. Groovy.

Holy cow! This is cool as a pitcher of milk - straight from the fridge.

I was especially pleased with the repetition of water and clouds and such; that's Chac in the upper-left hand corner of my panel and Tlaloc hanging out in the lower-right.

I'm behind in my corpse viewing, but - the psychic corpsters strike again. Just wanted to add an observation about textured gray elements in every corpse section - first thing that caught my eye. Great work, as usual.

Whoa!
First, apologies for not looking at this sooner. I've been away for about three weeks.
I've never been a believer in the "collective", but I don't know now. First the WTC stuff, then cows. Weird.
