In reply to John Campbell (jcampbel). And just exactly is wrong with catgirls, two-legs? Think VERY carefully before you reply, nyao...

And it leads to the highly amusing 'naked lauriats and other assorted intellectuals' scene.

"because what if people can't tell what it is"

Well let's see:

1) Lots and lots of people in People Jars

2) A huge MacGuffin in the center of the room.

3) Said MacGuffin is made by hamsters which we know are up to no good.

We don't need to know what the machine actually does. Just that third panel by itself is one of the biggest "shit just got real" moments in Narbonic.

I've gotta say, it's by far the best-looking hamster-constructed cryonic storage unit/power source/doomsday device I've ever seen.

Curse you, Leon. I hadn't seen a catgirl before, and now I can't stop seeing it.

I think there's a dwarf in the jar on the right.

@Leon: Catwoman adds a lot of energy to the device.

@Leon Arnott: Glad I'm not the only one who saw the kemonomimi there. I suppose she could be another non-mad-genius genius product of mad genius, but one would think Artie would notice that sort of thing.

@Sean Kinlin: No reason it can't be both! 's long as it's got a nice minor third harmonic in that hum...

Leon: Hmm, I hadn't thought of that as a scare chord, but as a sound effect - the hum of the machinery.

Oh, it's very good. The human silhouettes in the jars really make it - they provide a cue to the scale.

Saturday:

VMMM works decently as a classic overwrought scare chord, but I nonetheless feel that this sweet full-panel reveal deserves to be entirely unobstructed.

This kind of sci-fi imagery is so ubiquitous as to have a TVT page, so you needn't have doubted the clarity of your work.

The woman silhouette in the front-right jar looks unintentionally like a furry. I say that only with the utmost approval.
