Interesting that Elvis and the orange-bordered boxes of the last corpse reappear here. Lots of sublimenal text in addition to the obvious -- very nice.

Seems a bit disjointed. Was this one of the ones that got delayed for forever?

Elvis AND the Bat Boy? This is the corpse one finds in the register line at the grocery store.

I was just wondering when someone would work the Bat Boy into a corpse.

I really prefer four-part corpses to the never-ending five-parters. This is still an interesting one, with death, planets and metamorphosis as the recurring themes. Where did you find the man with hundred eys, Jessica?

I was originally going to put an infant where the man-with-a-hundred-eyes is. I was going to do a baby floating through space, with the binary digits I got turning into protein sequences (GATC - see?), with the idea of transfiguration in mind. But I got stuck on this one shot of my friend's baby, and didn't feel right about using it, so found this painting called Transfiguration which fit the bill in an entirely other way. And threw Batboy in there as the mutation that might come from binary sequences blindly dancing with protein sequences.

Ha! I've toyed with using batboy in a corpse a couple of times. Now I can officially let the idea go. Great corpse, everyone. Shelley's section in particular is gorgeous. And the face in Jim's is just plain *creepy*.

Thanks John :)

I've been looking at the finished product for days now, and still don't quite know what to make of it. (I love the big-eyed orange face in the panel below mine, BTW) It just amazes me that different people can make a picture without ever seeing the other piece. I love this - it's so much fun. I can't wait to do another :)
