Annotated 49-14
Great time for Frigg to discover she’s got acrophobia, isn’t it?
We would often spec out the layout of the pages to communicate our desires (and design priorities) to John. This was a fairly unconscious process after a while, but I did wonder every so often, “Is there a way that layout can help us tell this story?” That led to the unusual framing of panel 1, which creates a sort of “drop-off” for Frigg and the others to stare down.
Props to John for…so many things, but especially Carol in panel 2.

Carol is OK. She’s fine… she’s fine….
OK like the pig from Lisa the Vegetarian.
Clair and Xan are tagged, but I can’t see either of them.
Tarozerker not tagged.
Fixed!
Trust The Plan
There’s this one frame from one of the earlier Evangelion things, I think End of Evangelion, of Shinji looking especially manic, that I’ve found myself thinking of whenever I re-read this chapter and see Carol in the second panel of this page. Simple convergent thinking, I imagine. The weirder thing to me is honestly that these are the only examples I can think of; it’s a really strong expression that I’d expect to pop up more often.
