Jeph is certainly forcing himself out of his comfort zone this week, isn't he? It's very obvious how unfamiliar and uncomfortable he is with the forced perspective on Marigold and Hannelore's leading arms here. Not that I claim to have any greater skill, I'm just saying that it's obviously something new for him and I want to congratulate him for trying. Frankly, he needed something to shake him out of the artistic rut that he's been in for about the past 2-3 years.
Also, I was criticised earlier for suggesting that this whole "Marigold the Streamer" arc was going to be basically all about him and about his own neuroses and troubles in this life he's found for himself but I think that was because I framed it as a criticism. However, it's obvious that telling a coded autobiography has helped him rediscover his love for his work.
