Stage is Set : Hot Puffin' Dogs' red room thoughts of Monster DNA

The last two panels stand out, for me - they're fun, and bold, and share a common style and palette. I wish Katherine had been able to continue the knife, and to provide something incomplete for the next player to follow up on. While Chantelle's piece is well-composed within itself, the knife appears to be the only opportunity she provided to Katherine to work from. Everything else is above the 15-pixel margin shown to the next player.

Angelina clearly did follow up on my idea, Jakey. See Mr. Spongemonkey? HE'S SAYING PUFFINS. (Note: there is, in fact, a puffin in my panel) There is also a Zeppelin in Angelina's panel, showing my panel was clearly enough for Angelina to READ MY MIND. Thank you and good day.

Sorry, Katherine, just trying to provide honest feedback. The way I see it, since you pasted in a complete image of a puffin, there was no opportunity for someone else to come along and do something different with it, hence no mystery as to what it might become, hence no fun!

P.S. Just what is the connection between the zeppelin and the puffin, exactly? =)

Yours,
Jakey

Sorry, Jake my pal, I was just messing with you. The connection between zeppelins and puffins is both strong and mystical. And also mysterious. I appreciate your feedback.

OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST!

Jake, you're wrong, I left the curtains AND the knife to follow up on, which was done beutifully, thank you Katherine, Angelina and Jesse for making my humble slice into a Masterful Work of Corpse Art (a-go-go)

Chantelle,

To me, the most important thing is that each participant feels that his or her work was honored by the next person, and it's even better when you feel the way you (glowingly!) do. I do think there's room for improvement here - I always hope every corpse will be as good as #35, #41, #43 or #45 - but I should have found a better way to express that. I'm glad you're happy, and I'm sorry if I cast any shadow on your parade.

P.S. This is your first e-corpse - congrats! Have you participated on any other sites?

Jacob
