I stand by my previous comments about text in corpses...

I don't mind text in corpses, but when too many different fonts are used that don't work well together it can detract from the work. IMHO

Sorry, type haters, but I disagree. Instead of looking at it as a corpse to pick apart to see if it's breaking any of your corpse paradigms, look at it and see how intuition made this one a true "Absynthe, nose pickin', pandorama dream.
I like how the artists used different type faces. I think the two lower panels really bring it together.
I know my panel is silly, but I wanted to have some fun.The lady in the upper right corner is Madame Blavatsky, a real Occultess pioneer early in the last century. Her ghost is a bit appalled by the the nose picking the finger, but although I've never tasted it, I hear Absythe does make you nose your pick. Very Halloweeny corpse and I love it just for what it is...fun. Niemand, your panel is so beautiful it could stand by itself. Love the green hand and the Odefinerad I love your sense of humor. Thanks for playing with me. XOXOXO

...last sentence should've read: "Love the green hand, Odefinerad, I love your sense of humor..."
(it's 6:30 am and I haven't absynthed yet....)

On behalf of the text haters, too often we look with an open mind to see what the text does for the corpse, and what it does is force an interpretation that overrides the art and all other subtleties present. It literally tells you what to think about.
Luckily, ghosts and pandora are fairly compatible, but someone could have easily spoiled the effect with text about a Walmart sale or George Bush's fiscal policy.
It helps a little that only a few players are texters.

hey, thanks for the nice words, dorian... it was pleasure playing with you all ;)
imho some argues about the textproblem are really not silly... if you look from the one side of people who want to create/see nearly perfect corpses... but theres also another side of people who just wanna have fun by corpsing i guess?!
maybe there are sommetimes conflicts by that..?
(sorry, my english may be not correct)
