Whose face is that? Oh, LOL, Jay Leno. It is great! It makes me happy just to look at this corpse. It works so well together, colors, content, and with a great big visual KISS in the center.
It is all about contrast. Panels 2 and 3 are fun just together alone, but 1 and 4 really, obviously, gave it direction and destination. Good one!
Those mysterious little blue-gloved hands turns out to be a figure trapped under the ice....eerie, macabre and a perfect touch.
The sun-eating hounds perched on Jay's head are cool, too...plus the itty little skeletal dude under the panel with the huge skull and cross bones is a fun sync. I guess he's craving KFC.
...and the CP (corpse poem, titles, whatever) is perfect:
'Down south of sulfur,
Leno's demise in cold blood.
That is one scarey snow man!

The decepticons hate leno because he stands in the way of Kentucky fried goodness... maybe he should stick to doritos?

laserbeak!
it's a friggin' bizzaro, minimalist, amazingly awesome corpse to begin with, and then on top of it all, it's got friggin' laserbeak! (and young jay leno(?) and the cat in the hat!) Way to work in the pop-cultural smackdown, BudahCronX. :)

With the exception of Jay Leno's hideous face looming large in the center, I like this one. Smegma's contribution is gorgeous and Tavia27's snowman adds a bit of cheer to the winter doldrums. Nice work, everyone.

This is a great corpse. Well done fellow corpsers.

ohhhh, so THAT's what was in Jay Leno's head. I was curious.

I thought that arrow looked familiar...
