#100!!

Which is about 78 more than I would have probably guessed would get done. Amazing.

I like the camel plesiosaur.

Wow, this is so beautiful, it's like a dream transcript. Great transitions.

This one has a very earthy feel - desert and sky, or is it fire and water, in the first panel; space in the second; camel plesiosaurs swimming in halloween seas in the third; mountains and sky and monkeys with halos in the fourth and final panel.
I also like the people climbing the corporate ladder in the last panel... stairway to heaven?

Wahoo! Finally, my first corpse is up! Great transition between 3 and 4! I'm a little disappointed that Lewis didn't continue the green stalks from my flowers - I really liked the way they were curved. Excellent play with the elements - there is fire and water in my pannel, earth in Lewis', air in Kates, and air and earth in Michael's.

All the inorganic elements are a way to get from one place to another, too - oars for rowing a boat, a space shuttle to visit another planet, and a scaffolding/ladder to get you from down to up or vice versa.

But I must admit the camel plesiosaurus really does make the piece! (*agrees with Tim*)

Gotta love Spidermonkey.

Congrats everybody on reaching 100 Corpses. A quick round of applause, also, for our fearless leader, Phineas!

Woohoo, Corpse 100!

Great job on your first slice, Elizabeth! Lovely!

Michael: ooooooooooh, that is great. I want a beatific capuchin as my desktop pattern.
