Now With Visual Aids!

As you may have noticed, I've decided to start including a little more in the way of visual aids in my posts. I'll be doing this whenever it's appropriate (read: when I bloody well feel like it).
I figure it's a good way to break up the sometimes dense nature of my posts.
Sometimes, as in this case (well, except for this introduction), the visual aid will itself be the entire post.



Note: On his absolute worst day - even when he's having his absolute worst day and is being inked by Nelson - John Byrne is a greater artist than I could ever hope to be, and despite this affectionate jab at some of his idiosyncrasies, I view him as a bona fide master of the comic form who has earned his place in the pantheon of the Comic Gods. Also, I believe he is aware of his tendency to do this sort of thing and has even poked fun at himself for doing it.

Excellent summation of Byrne's talent and idiosyncrasies. Byrne was the first artist I took notice of and remains one of my all time favorites.
