Many suffer from the incurable disease of writing
and it becomes chronic in their sick minds.

okay, so i'm having some issues with this triptych. first of all, i can't decide whether to actually break it into three or leave it as one (having this problem with a few other images as well. so i'll live with both versions and see which one finally asserts itself.

the other problem is this is such a text-heavy trip. i knew it was going to be, but now having placed the words, i feel overwhelmed myself. i could trim the language, but not sure how much fat i could cut and still keep the narrator's voice. i could also draw another set and spread the words over two trips, but yarg. i could probably cut "Lewis Fletcher brought us out to find the body" ~ but that doesn't really alleviate the major congestion, which is happening at the bottom.

meh und Himmel.

i haven't finished cleaning and i've come to what seems the very obvious conclusion that writers make characters suffer so as to maintain a perspective on suffering.

in other words, everything is status quo.

good point ~ the only reason i was thinking of breaking it was for consistency's sake: they are supposed to be triptychs after all ~ but i'm willing to throw that out the window. i agree that it's a contiguous panel and as such shouldn't have the breaks.

But why must the musician always die?!

hahahahaahaha ~ because musicians are so naturally empathetic?

don't feel too bad ~ Banjo is still alive (for the moment)
