Ho hum. People were pretty relaxed 2004.<br /><br />For me the text adds character, gives a unique voice and sets a tone for the story. I did not feel like the caption information was all that redundant here. I certainly do not feel like the excellent art suffered for it. This Mort Lawrence cat is neat. I'm not sure I was aware of him before these posts. I see I liked the only other Lawrence story I can find in the archives; but I didn't pause much over the illustration at the time. But back then I was just some nutter from the past, anyway. That's been rectified now!

Easily remedied. I just skipped the narrative texts only reading the dialogue. Do other people do that? <br />The story worked. Good art!<br />I do that for a lot of E.C. stories too. Heavy text kills the rhythm of the panels for any story. It fights the artist's efforts often making one of them redundant.<br />It's like having that feature on the T.V. that describes the show for the blind on by mistake.nutsilica.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816159328601948660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-3050116610462706822018-11-08T10:05:56.352-06:002018-11-08T10:05:56.352-06:00I'm overjoyed by the thought of a cemetery of ...I'm overjoyed by the thought of a cemetery of just murders where the gravestones are all nicknames. "Killer Joe!" "Strangler Hank!" I'd love to wander that cemetery!<br /><br />Text heavy is an understatement and the art really suffered from being crammed up like that. The story is clever -- it misdirects you with the money angle (you assume the money won't be worth anything in the future) -- before it catches you with the real ending.<br /><br />Cutting back on the text would have taken this one from pretty good to really good.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
