Rawhide Vindaloo w/ Commentary, Page 23


   In comic book time, talking is a free action. This can sometimes get a little ridiculous, as seen here. There's a wall of text spoken while a character is dangling for his life there. That is quite the speech bubble. And, yeah, that was deliberate.

   Texas Ranger looks like Josh Holloway here. First season of LOST, shooting at that polar bear. He bursts in, because it was his gun pointing at Peckinwood's face in that last panel. What's that gun? The reveal: it was Texas Ranger. Another reveal: Peckinwood's a bad guy. Not that there are any good guys in this comic, but Peckinwood's a real pervert, and kind of a jerk.

   It's weird, here: Rawhide's left hand looks like a hoof but his right one looks like a hand. The perspective on that platform is a bit forced, as I had to fudge the trapdoor after the rope was going in front of it. Check this: Rawhide is standing in front of the trapdoor, with his knife behind the rope. Yeah.

   We're left hanging, which I assure you did not realize at first was a pun until now but am using it here as I did. Where to go from this? I had a few ideas of what to do with all that rope, but none of them were strictly appropriate.
