Guys, I just want to say how pleased I am with this discussion. This is the second time today I've woken up/come home to find 40+ comments in my inbox, and that's really exciting! I posted these pages to get people talking, and I'll be damned if you didn't deliver. We've had a lot of interesting perspectives here, and reading them has been really cool for me.
Pat yourselves on the back, S_D, we really are the best comics discussion community! I need to post new comics more often!
