  1. I thought this one was a fish though. Is it a chicken with its heart cut out?

  3. Ok, at this point, turn UP, again, turn funny. The dark parts are so powerful that they need softening, so if you can keep up a ratio of 10 funny/quirky pages (that youre so good at) versus one dark maggoty-eyes page (which youre equally good at but must use sparingly to let its effect ride the reader a while)...is my advice too frank, too much? Apologizing in advance if it is. Every reader creates his/ her own meaning so other readers might disagree.

    This, by the way, at the risk of repeating myself, is truly brilliant work.
