Trying yet another JPEG variation with the art today, to see if it looks any different.

Panel 1: Very tough to pull off tricky foreshortening like that of the spear in this panel, which is stretching from background to foreground in an exaggerated matter.  The issue, really, is the comparative size of the figures in the background and foreground, which I can't say is quite as successfully achieved as I would've liked.  Still, the shot works well enough to convey the basic idea of the staging, more or less.

Wellp, having to dictate this week's commentaries via Windows speech recognition was, as I anticipated, maddeningly slow and frustrating.  Here's hoping that I'm able to use a g-d keyboard next week, folks!
