...going mad. His body disappears and a wedge cleaves his head in two in a psychedelic sequence that wouldn't be out of place in a drug film of the same era. (Kirihito was originally serialized in 1970.) The design of Tezuka's pages endlessly varies in shape and flow to reflect the action of a sequence or a character's state of mind. He never shies away from crazy experimentation, as when one panel uses a distorted photograph in a character's word balloon to emphasize the stress of the moment...

"I think Talent has some good ideas and I like that he really researches things and doesn't go with the flow. But Talent's on Bush's side and he pretty much follows Bush for the most part." How women like Bloomfield break in the last two weeks of the campaign will make all the difference: The Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll found McCaskill leading Talent by just one point among likely women voters...
