it feels rather nick bancock to me. which isn't bad! forgetting room is kinda cool.
I'm dreaming of my next strip....

Cool low-res feel to this one. I'm guessing the the fat white guy in the first panel's name is Grubby White? Yes? No?

Oh YEAH!
Every panel gets heaps of surrealist superlatives.
My poor brain is worn out from skipping thru this funky corpse playground.

bacon-crabs and bicycle-eyes!

I believe that would be Nick Bantock.
Very nice transitions, everyone. The surreality is seemless.

Each artist here put a lot of thought into their work, I think. The best parts for me are that strip of bacon curling up from the torn paper and the flower petals draped over the bicycle like a pair of womens' bloomers. Great continuity and fun!

This goes on my favorites list - I can't believe I had a hand in it. Consistent yet vivid color pallette and textures - Patrick for instance picked up on a bunch of what came before. Compositional consistency and complementing going on as well.
I'm chortling with delight that Elizabeth honored the bit of blue spotted tin plate in the corner of my panel, turning it into a fabulous background that travels the remainder of the corpse.
I'm a big fan of the Griffin and Sabine series myself, so I love the whole atmosphere contained in this piece.

diggin mr. grubby white... i wonder if he's a sexual offender.
gerald at June 26, 2002 2:28 PM
I dig it. I like the consistant texture.

Still staring at everything in glee. Iain, is that a Rousseau? Those peaches look like egg yolks...

Wow... I am ... agog!
I was so nervous when I realized I would have to follow a panel from Mirla, she's done some of my favorite work in EC thus far. I'm so pleased it turned out so well!
I swear I thought that bacon was a flower petal! I think I could have done better with the green onions-to-grass transition, though. The flowers that replace the crab's claws are a type of orchid - VERY Georgia O'Keefe, which lead to the "like a fish needs a bicycle" reference.
Patrick did a great followup. As a whole, it has a lovely, consistant, gritty texture, with a surrealist-out-in-nature feel. Everyone did a fantastic job - I'm very proud of this one!

Great title, by the way, with a beat-poet feel.
Elizabeth at June 27, 2002 11:10 AM
One more thing... does the bacon look like it's got a penis head on it to anyone other than me? Either way, it's fabu.
Elizabeth at June 27, 2002 11:11 AM
Woah! It's a travel diary in one corpse! The exotic nature, nice English breakfast and seafood lunch, the ancient tourist attractions, letters to home...and the new iMac?

a very unusual piece ... 'with a smile' by patrick has one of the most imaginative transitions ever!
