Nicely done!

Nice work extending the hand-held page into a scroll of sorts. It's like the modern day hieroglyphics of someone's life.

So beautiful. "The pleasure of touch". It seems to be about the senses. In the top panel what we see with the eye tells us about physical feeling. The sketchy, illustrated birds de-emphasize the visual experience of them, but you can almost here their singing and the humming of their wings. The apples are more substantial, you can smell and taste them and imagine how they would feel in your hand. The sepia-toned ghosts of dogs and the old baseball are like tactile childhood memories. At the end we find ancient astronomy and the modern abstraction of the monolith, higher levels of sensation, symbols of universal intelligence. Beneath, and blurry, the open page of a book, one from the shelf in the first panel, resolving it all as the intellectualization of sensory experience. Love the Miro UPC code.

A lovely magical quality to it.

Breathtaking.

BTW, the French phrase comes from the 1947 International Exhibition of Surrealism catalog, designed by Marcel Duchamp.

This is one of the very few corpses where I really appreciate the textual contribution. Maybe because it occurred in the first segment and looks like a title or headline, maybe because it's in a foreign language.

Maybe because it's part of the picture, rather than being superimposed?

Yes, that could be it.
