A note for people who pay attention to such milestones: This is the 99th posted Corpse. Meaning Wednesday's offering will be number 100. Wear party hats.

Seems like Mel is far removed from the rest, but the links to the past are there, just the colors... The rest looks really good, seam-wise, most excellent. That is some mad skill right there.
And who can argue with boobies?

The freudian nature of this is enchanting. Donuts, holes, and the feminine principle.. always menacign, always underneath our safe fifties nostalgia.

I'm such a Melanie fan. Not a groupie, but maybe a corpse-aid. hehe
The transitions here are really well done. People really utilized what they were given in a great way.
Love the shocked look on the young lady's face in panel two over the obvious exhibitionism going on outside the local church.
Also notice the piece of fruit that fell out of the grocery bag in panel two into Melanie's panel. doesn;t get any better...heh

i like the man holding the pi[e] in the lower portion, perhaps a krispy kreme chef? (or dunkin donuts' spy?)

What I wonder is how Ryan knew that Melanie had (ever so artfully) opted against a seamless transition? The subtle crossovers (houseplant, Melanie; flower petals, Ryan) are cool... we're these achieved with the 15 px cheat or just built naturally?
Despite the jarring lack of seamlessness, quite an interesting and beautiful piece.

Oh bliss! I finally get to see the finished product!
Don't know what made me think of putting the baker in there, but kind of cool how things turned out.
Subliminal messages in those 15 pixels maybe?
Great work by everyone!

Don't laugh, but look at the bottom of the man's suit in Susan's segment two. Can you see it? Looking at the 15 pixel strip, I thought that was a black nipple. I was tricked! Tricked I say!
Melanie at May 20, 2002 11:53 AM
This is dirty!
I like it.

Great job everyone! Seamless or otherwise, I always enjoy seeing a new corpse posted. The differences in terms of style, creativity, mood, experience, personality etc., from one panel to the next is always fun to watch unfold as you scroll down the page.
So I wonder, am I ever going to get a turn? *hint hint* Everytime I see a new corpse posted, I'm checking my email every 2 minutes to see if my turn is in there. That's alot of checks over the past few months... Oh well, I guess patience is a virtue ;-)

I have to admit that I am usually quite partial to seamlessness, however, Melanie and Ryan have really explored something interesting with their seams. I love it! Perhaps the collective is at work again.
And that's a really tall doughnut. *lip smack* Mmmm....

Hmmmm. Doughnuts and boobs.....
Sorry, what was the question ?
Oh, yea. Where`s my new slice ?
:D

I'm also a Melanie fan. The first thing I noticed were all the wonderful seams, including yours, Mel.
What lovely balanced (composition, color) panels all around. I especially like the polka-dot wallpaper continuing down, and the house-headed penguin(?) sitting on the folding screen.

positively luminescent. so so nice.

Anyone recognize the illustration of the woman from the second panel? I believe it's the guy that's always drawing women the underpants down around their ankles. Funny that a nude torso follows it.
A nice piece!
Ryan at May 21, 2002 8:32 PM
Yes, Very Observant Ryan, it's Art Frahm. :)
Melanie's panel is, as always, lovely, and the rest are quite nice as well. Though I'm a little concerned about Melanie seeing nipples in suit jackets.. is this a recurring problem, Mel?
