Wow! One of the most diverse Corpses yet, in terms of drawing styles. I think everybody did a great job on the transitions between panels (I love the ants, where it looks like they're eating the arm of that one spaceman). I really like it. Congrats to all involved.

At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, I have to say this corpse joins the ranks of the corpses I've liked (and I've liked all of them so far). Like Jima, I like the diverse drawing styles of the participants, and how they've meshed to form a playful, color-consistent, head-to-toe corpse.
the ants and the hepburn-daisy are my favorite 'bits''...

Wow! Great job everybody! This is definitely another T-Shirt/Lunchbox worthy corpse (if I were less of a capitalist and more of a communist, I suppose I'd want to see it really massive - blow up fifty stories high - and pasted on the side of a building. And if I were more of a monarchial imperialist, I'd want it on my big pointy hat.
I love the ants and the space monkey, and the mouthy/vagina-y flower thing - and the "final word." The whole thing read like a . . . a cartoon - like a collaborative work between Max Ernst, Charles Schultz, and Andre Breton.

This one is great! Very slick-looking. Are most of the people who made this one pros? Because it looks to me very graphic-artsy, like it could be one of those giant plastic signs museums hang outside to advertise exhibitions - or maybe an ad for a new Gautier fragrance. Yet it maintains a spirit of creativity and art that keeps it from looking commercial. Very nice everyone!

I'm kinda embarrased by this one, not the whole thing, it all looks great, but I feel my slice could have been a lot better than just a mish-mash and blending of Angelina Jolie pictures (get it? Angel Pretty?)
I love the spacemen, they're great, and what, I'm left wondering, is the significance of the one red bug?

I don't think it's anything to be embarrassed about. The way you continued the arm from Jocelyn's piece with another arm I thought was a fairly brilliant stroke.
I was a little unsure what I thought of this one initially but I like it more the longer I look at it. It certainly proves that disparate styles don't hamper the process.

I wonder what the other participants think of the final product. My favorite is the Daisy-lady, I think it's a brilliant composition! Personally, I'm a little surprised about my part because the strip I was given gave no hint whatsoever as to the content of Allan's piece. To me, it just looked like a gold and black column on one side and some stray black smears on the other. I wouldn't have thought they were spacemonkeys in a million years.
To answer some questions posed here, yes I am a professional and the red ant signifies something profound and insightful. But you need to figure it out yourself because I've misplaced my knowledge of all things philosophical somewhere in my livingroom, and I can't be bothered to find it right now.
So there.

I like this one a lot. I think the transitions work fairly well, and the whole thing kind of works for whatever reason. I like how black and white runs throughout the whole piece, and how that snot yellow color slides down the last three panels.
To answer a question, no, I am not a professional, but I would like to be one when I grow up :)

Missed the professional question first time around. No, I don't do it for a living, but I could. Does that count?
