I think the main motivation for these particular panels (broken leg, noosed naked woman, face punches) is more homage to Hammer/giallo films myself, rather than storytelling, or getting in the victim's head. They're all from the perspective of the aggressor, or a voyeur, rather than the victim and are intended to be fetishtic.

Ah, we're just reading it differently. Fair enough.

I'm not getting the fetishistic thing myself, but I suppose it could be argued that both ways of reading it are equally valid, given that the entire story is about the intersection/parallels of real and fictional horror.

Don't ask me, I was about to comment the very same.

Actually, I was just going to post the word "How?", but it amounts to pretty much the same thing.

Alexei Navalny - effectively murdered by the Russian State / Putin.

Not even a surprise. I was expecting him to have "fallen out of a window" eventually.

My first name's already the name of the Souther H.Q. (if you completely misspell and mispronounce it in a horrendous fashion).

Good lord... It would seem my digital telly gets more attuned to detecting holographic technology utilising alien lizard-folk and/or A.I. generated imagery when it's really windy and the outside aerial is wobbling about.

I'm not saying aphantasia isn't a drawback for visual artists, ('cos it stands to reason it would be), but there's a surprising amount of really quite accomplished artists with the condition, including the bloke who designed Disney's Little Mermaid and Beast from Beauty and The Beast.

Inversely, there's a lot of folk with a very vivid mind's eye who can't draw for toffee, (or any other confectionery of their choice), in the same way that you can't just stick most folk down in front of a landscape with a bunch of paints and expect them to produce a masterpiece.

Because Kenneth Niemand said he wasn't.

Oh.

I'm more interested in the why than the who(m).

Maybe they're hand-picked in the way that strawberries and brambles are, to make sure they're not all squelchy or crawling with maggots.

There's also this...

...and this...

^ Yep. Pretty much that. ^

A scam which artists who do commissions should be aware of...
