Portraying GWB as on the side of the Beatles is sick. The associates of the Blue-meanies are a little more apropos...

I really like the chaos in the first half in contrast to the second. All the sections are hyper-colorful.

Cool one...

"Portraying GWB as on the side of the Beatles is sick."

How can a corpse be sick? Isn't it already dead?

Everyone sees different things with these. Rather than "on the side" of the Beatles, I see him as horning in front of them with his flag plaque, while they stand demurely in the background, not even looking at him.

The other thing I see in that final segment is an emission of great creative pain and pressure, as the segment slave piles pixels while under the cruel whip of the Evil Corpsemaster, threatening to come down from Chicago and administer a Grade A Midwestern Asswhuppin' if the segment was not completed forthwith.

Yes, I can see that clearly. My bricks are one pixel off.

I see GWB as trying to be like Ed Sullivan. Trying to pretend to be cool by introducing the Beatles even though everyone knows he's a stick in the mud old fuddy duddy. Interesting how the older 'real' versions of John and George are looking in through the window. Nice touch. Overall it's a very colorful corpse that's quite thought provoking. I like it. =)

I see GWB as Evil, pure and simple (heavy on the simple). No getting around that, unfortunately. Apart from that, it's a good Corpse.

i'm so glad to see it's finally done! and the panel before mine is nothing like i expected it to be! i totally dig the other panels... makes me wonder what goes through someone's mind when they first get that 450x15 piece.

I see Bush as representing the US, and the Beatles as representing the UK. The flag thing Bush is holding is like a cross between the stars 'n stripes and the Union Jack. I like the dead Beatles in the window. We haven't had anything this politically charged since just after Sept 11th, huh?

The top two panels make me think of the math and physics that are going on behind the scenes for the universe to exist on a day to day basis. The bottom two panels seem to represents the two choices we have as humans in all of this: we get get in sync with it and live serenely, or we can wreak havoc.

The Beatles in the bottom panel did a little of both (rock revolution and eastern philosophy) and they seem to be tsk-tsking the choices of the Blue Meanies, "enemies of democracy", and GWB (because face it, even though he's supposed to be a "good guy" he's a freaking warmonger).

Perhaps that's too literal or I'm trying too hard to be 'deep'?

Kate, good work on a tough seam. Photodude, thank God for one off pixel - otherwise I'd've driven myself nuts searching for that seam.
