Oh I so love the seamless transitions in this one! Baby girls in two scenes - the mechanoid monster issuing from the mechanical effiel tower -all shrouded in darkness. excellent.

Zach's explodingdog.com-style character emerging from the eiffel tower's arches shows the power of carrying on the shapes that are passed to you; it's both creative and collaborative. I'm amazed by the complete silhouette!

I almost wanted there to be a face on the right side of Hue and Justin's panels, but it's not quite there. Fabulous colors all around.

Wow! I love how the first seam is almost impossible to find.... the eifel tower turns into a stick figure guy! It looks like he is giving bubbles a little pat on the butt.
One thing that I've noticed here, and also while looking at some old school surrealist exquisite corpses, is that the best ones always have the least amount of 'noise' in the background. It's all about breaking it down to the main ideas and allowing them to flow throughout the corpse.

Actually if you look at the outline of the dark section, it does sort of give the impression of a facial outline. Very cool corpse, well done!

This one's brilliant. I love how the pink/black contrast stayed through the whole thing. And the seams are all but invisible. One of my favourites thus far.

Love!!!
This time I clicked onto the front page and saw the thumbnail - knew it was gonna be a good one. Bob is a psychic for taking his little bit of pink and expanding it out to balance out the explosion of pink at the top of the corpse.
A seamlessness of theme as well - cartoon figures everywhere. Well done.

Wow. I was so afraid my contribution to this one was gonna suck when meshed with everyone else's stuff. I went with the clues from Maggie's slice as literally as I could. The big trick was mojo. I couldn't find an image on the 'Net that was an exact copy of what Maggie had used, so I had to rebuild the bottom half of Mojo, pixel by pixel. And if I was gonna use Mojo, then I had to throw in the Power Puff Girls, and from that I needed another character from somewhere which I could use as a contrast. The roundness of what looked like a halo to me suggested Exploding Dog. I happen to think Exploding Dog is one of the most thought provoking and disturbingly heartfelt artistic forms of expression ever to grace the Internet. It all sort of made some illogically logical sense within itself, but I was really frustrated with the end result and afraid it just wouldn't work. I couldn't imagine anything that others could contribute that wouldn't end up making my stuff look stupid & sour.
But it flows much better than I thought it would, and I'm blown away that the halo for the exploding dog guy turned out to be the bottom of the eiffel tower! Woah! And then everything that flows out after that.. The pink and black flows throughout the piece and that color scheme helps to bring it all home. It's great. Kudos all around gang. I'm honored to have been a complimentary part of something that turned out so uniquely special and freako cool. =)

hah its great how it all somehow revolves around babies and young playful things pink and tiny. but at the same time there is this all around violence and scariness!powerpuff girl ass kickin, killer zombie baby terror, what looks like an arial nighttime city scape of blood, all capped off by the severed dolls head. happy ending?
even the title has the same connections.
how diabolic!

When I was in art school, one of my teachers forbade us to use Pepto Bismal or Band-aide pink -he said it would never work
wow, twenty years later I see a pepto bismal success!
