I like the title... and I love the bucket...
I love how the bucket comes out of nowhere....
We are all like ... "Why is that bucket not sweating us!?!"
And the bucket is leaning back, smelling it's own flowers saying. "I'm not sweating nothin...."
squiggle squiggle....

The woman in the headdress is my mother. She is everybody's mother. How do you like our mother?

Things to love here:
- The title
- The bride's dress
- The face of who Mr. McEcstacy says is our mother but whom is really the young single woman with "a past" that move in two houses down from ours when I eight.
- The title
- The transition between panels 1 and 2.
- The sun texture on the curtain.
- The bucket of flowers.
- The lack of butterflies (but if you squint, the masks on the curtain might look like one).
- The title

interesting how the last 3 corpses have all had visible divisions of one sort or another between slices 2 and 3, so that when you look at the front page, there's a line going right across... could be six mini corpses, almost.
that, and i like this one very much.

I thought at first that the bucket was filled with tabbouleh. Mmmmm...tabbouleh...

Very nice

I *love* this one!
I especially love how you can *really* see the seam between panels 2 and 3 - but then again, you don't. Know what I mean?
I love it - great job all around!

I had no idea what to do with my slice, so I just said, "You know what? Bucket."
I love the title.

Absolutely wonderful. I really get a kick out of this corpse, it's absolutely marvellous. Feel like buying a hat so I can take it off to the four of you.

And I've just noticed the way the woman's lips cross the boundary between her two sides. What a clever touch.
Patrick Beverley at July 28, 2005 5:16 PM
AND the corpse has a near-telepathic consistency of subject.
Patrick Beverley at July 28, 2005 5:17 PM
*AND* the transitions ... I'm sorry. I'll shut up now.
Patrick Beverley at July 28, 2005 5:20 PM
I especially like the top two panels. Althought I have to say Collin's genius in the second panel is the highlight. It manages to make the subject matter of the first panel (brains) become a part of a magnificent head dress, with the focal point on the woman's eyes.
The remaining two panels are nice with the yin and yang of drama echoing the madam's split personality above. The half-barrel planter (or bucket if you prefer) at the bottom, creates a good anchor.
Bravo all.

Man oh man. In addition to a perfectly sublime title, this corpse qualifies for what might be my Favorite Corpse Ever. Superb.

Very cool corpse
Very cool title

[momentarily breaks vow of silence]
Collin's panel is brilliant.

This is gorgeous! Such a dramatic feel to it - like an old Theatre poster. The eyes are hypnotic. Great work.
Dax at July 29, 2005 2:20 AM
Cool work all... The title is truly brilliant!
MetalEar at July 29, 2005 7:43 AM
Fabulous!
I am in love with the top two panels.
Good job all.

Dax is on to something... the image of the woman came from an old theatre poster from Russia, c1920s... It is amazing this theme is continued at the bottom... coincidence, or collective consciousness? Who knows... but the bucket makes it for me...
collin douma at July 29, 2005 9:22 AM
I am glad there are no butterflies too.
