Look at the console in the panel before the "BRAAAK": I get no clue that it's curved up and facing me, the reader, until I reach the wedge at bottom panel left, and even then the rest of it doesn't click. The next, wider panel you show, with Strange at the controls, has the same lack of orientation and bulk, to the extent that it's almost like an Escher deal. Other than the slats directly in front of him and up, we see no raised dials or switches, where by contrast Kirby's rendition is chock-full of depth suggested by doodads on top of doodads.Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-37160513676946094092014-01-16T10:21:40.957-05:002014-01-16T10:21:40.957-05:00You're right, Uncle Matt!

He is a <i>radioactive Nazi skeleton covered in killer bees,</i> which is clearly the scariest thing that it is possible to imagine. Give the poor guy some credit!Uncle Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372568503602699725noreply@blogger.com
