That's wonderful! So watery and fishy all the way through! Nice work!

Nice soft watery fell throughout. I don't know what to say about Lilah's except it doesn't stand out as much as usual. Andrew's piece is particualry lovely. Cicada did a wonderful follow through, that little mermaid-like creature is great. Tony's is fabulous, especially considering...

I like the entire right side of this corpse imensely.
Left side too, but the right side is that much more of an atention getter.

damselfly has pretty much summed up my thoughts.

I really love that first panel. It is so nice. Its so calm and how it picks up the movement and splashing in the wave is really cool. It's really amazing how it ends in fish - super cool.

I really like this corpse. It is amazing how Tony reconnected to the fish concept. That bottom panel is a real beauty, glad its not the "one that got away". Andrew's panel is strikingly lovely.
For the curious, a Jenny Greenteeth is the Yorkshire version of The Peg Powler, which Wikipedia describes as: "-an ugly old woman from English folklore with a green skin, long hair and sharp teeth who is said to inhabit the River Tees. She grabs the ankles of those who wander too close to the water's edge, especially naughty children, pulls them under water and drowns them."

Great job picking up on the fishiness, Tony. And thanks for the folklore lesson, Cicada!
Well done, all!
Andrew at April 25, 2006 2:36 PM
The watery fish theme holds it together, and I have to say..
lilah- you transitioned!
I love the way Andrew's elegant beginning flows into cicada's.
Jenny G. is not going to be invited to my birthday.
Tony's stuff is always a pleasure, and he picks up lilah's colours
...hey, is that a cat-fish I see?
AndyFromJava at April 25, 2006 5:50 PM
I'm not gonna lie - I really like lilah's section.

before reading, i thought that jenny was what's-her-name from the ring... you definitely caught the vibe!
Andrew and tony, not only are you both "fishy" but also pattern-y...patternish? You both use pattern. Phew.

Just because I don't comment on something doesn't mean I don't like it.
There!.. a triple-negative... what does that mean?

I heard of Jinny Greenteeth once, from an old lady - Tasmanian, born and bred.
The general idea reminds me of the Bunyip myth.
The purpose seeming to be to keep 'naughty' children from wandering near water at night.
Still,
I think it best to tell children the truth about dangers to life, and stop telling them they're naughty!

You know, I hadn't considered Samara (was it Samara?), but I do love that movie. Intersting to see her near a Japanese mother then. Ever seen "Ringu" the basis of "The Ring"? There seems to be a running theme in Japanese horror dealing with long hair in the water.
Since I was a kid I was more spooked of Jenny Greenteeth then I was of Suriname toads! She was almost as scary as the real neighborhood witch Leaping Lena, who talked to the porcupines. Now I feel a little sad for poor Jenny, and poor Lena, and thought a birthday cake may cheer her up. You know, help her cut down on the drowning of naughty children thing.
Cheers all.

Points in all directions.
"...is like no point at all."
"Hey, I think he's got a point there!"
[Neilsen (I think), "The Land of Point", early 70's]
Cheer up now Ginny, it ain't so bad.
