Rawhide Vindaloo w/ Commentary, Page 16


   There's a lot to say about the panel layouts on this page, because it's by far the cleverest on this page. The crowd incorporated into the borders of the first row of panels, placing emphasis on the dance moves the crowd's doing. Then, the next row of panels, which are literally BANDIT. (!). The Texas Ranger is introduced at the edge of all this bustle, emphasized a solitary man. And then, from his angle, it's LeCastor who's at the edge of the panel, on the opposite side this time.

   Emphasized here, in an unusual and generally unique example of entirely within-the-border border, is LeCastor's tail, which you probably missed the first time like I said because this is the first time it's being emphasized. See how much emphasis there is? That's kind of the point of looking at the backs of these and the panel layouts, emphasizing the emphasis.
