This ain't the army nor the navy. This is where it all goes down.

Denial aint just a river in Egypt! Something bad is comin..
"Who's grave is that?"
Below them the souls of hell moaned as if in answer.
LOVING IT.

i love that through out this section Jane has remained present. like a reminder of what Billy is really looking for. i love how you make sure she retains her grace in every fall and jump that they take together. a visual emphasis to the ways that the characters compliment one and other.
in the shadows with hearts in her eyes.

Thx, Dave. I need to do that. I've been writing this as I move forward every week with only a crib sheet of plot notes keeping me on point.

I love how this is totally getting SIGNIFICANT. Like you're taking it out of the realm of symbolism and irony and into the realm of CONSEQUENCE.
Having your cake AND eating it for breakfast! Brilliant.

Thx, Kiel. I learned awhile ago to iconosize in order to make drama universal. Once you've done that, married the fiction to the reader, you can get nice and personal.
My stories with BILLY DOGMA is a unique seesaw of events that often polarize readers.
Love it or hate it.

Dogma doesn't change his Shirt in all that time?
I bet he dind't put up the toilet seat afterwards either.
She probably died of frustration!

I never thought that somebody will ask himself: Who? I always thought it is: Why? Or more possible: Why me?
But forget the philosophy for a while: Great question here, and I'm sure everybody will be wrong with the answer. I'm trying to think positiv here.

In the second panel, in the photograph-- why is Billy holding his ding-dong?
Also, in panel one, coming off of Billy's shoulders... stink lines?
Looks good, Billy needs to unload that Berserk gone on his old bald handless self, pronto.

I don't know what these guys mean by "end it". As Mike Altman wrote, "suicide is painless, it brings on many changes", but Birry ain't about that. My guess as to who wins or loses is as good as anyone's.
This episode is So HEAVY. Damn you, kiki, for making us wait and suffer another week. The pictures, the close ups, the moaning souls... this is top notch stuff.

Thx for your stamp of approval, bro-san. There are at least five people I anticipate their reaction to my comix [whether it's pro or con, doesn't matter] or the work isn't validated. You're on that list.

Yes! I think this update has taken a nice turn to something with a real sense of dread. I love the idea of having a conversation with your future self...amazing potential here and I can't wait to see you capitalize.

Thx, Joe. I wrote the general plot to this story over a year ago and I am as excited as I am dreading putting this tale to bed.

Man,everyone got high and hogged the computer!

Last panel reveal is pretty cool. I steal that now!!

Whew, this story gets deeper and deeper! Really admiring your ability to move things along in single panels, like storyboards.
