Allen, Josh, Bradley, Jocelyn and Dave

I love Josh's continuation of the longitude and latitude lines into a beautiful blue field. It has the feeling of an oil painting for me.
I'm also extremely impressed with Dave's continuation of the long/lat like lines in his piece. The girl looking up and holding her hands as if to keep from being crushed by the weight of the corpse is great.
I think blue is my new favorite color. Great corpse! :o)

dave, thanks so much for completing this corpse where two other people apparently dropped the ball. i've been waiting almost 5 months for this one. and a wonderful ending it is, too. worth waiting for.

So, is this another situation where two people were given the same strip to work with? Jocelyn's piece looks like it could be a continuation of Josh's as much as it could be from Bradley's. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just curious, especially considering the high turnover rate on this one.
Regardless, this a really nice Corpse. The playfulness of the figures in it, and the repetition of kabuki/circus imagery tie it together, along with that brilliant blue.

It does appear that it should be either Bradley's or Jocelyn's section in there, not both...
But who am I to say - I don't want to be the guy who tries to police all the strips.
Nice work as usual, either way.

yeah, I didn't want to say anything but now that it's been mentioned... Bradley's strip looks almost like it fell in there by accident.

It's because Bradley has done the horizontal symmetry thing that you all think that.

What makes me think there's been a mistake is the otherwise inexplicable continuation of meridian lines in Jocelyn's section in the exact same locations and style of Josh's piece -- Bradley's section doesn't give enough information for that to have happened, and it's too close for magic Corpse telepathy.
I printed it out to test my theory, and Josh and Jocelyn's sections line up exactly. This wouldn't be the first time this happened, and last time it was in a Corpse that had reassignments due to dropouts also.
This is no reflection on Bradley, just an observation of possible error.

I'm personally amazed by the return of the webbing in the last panel, without much of a clue from its source pixels.

It was all I could think to do with what I suspected was a crumbled dollar bill.
Incidentally that webbing is the glass structure roof of the British Museum's courtyard.

I'm still tempted to say that there is some sort of assemblage mistake here. It's far too much of a coincidence that section 4 aligns perfectly with section 2. C'mon phin, spill it.
