The Man Who Bought A Dingbat

Notes: Another example of Everett's combining cartooney elements with "realistic" textures and Chiaroscuro techniques.

The Rookie!

Notes: In this story, a young man practices to try-out as a baseball pitcher. He trains himself until he can throw a ball through a tree, but then decides not to risk hurting the catcher and walks away. A strangely downbeat story, that is even stranger, because in some of the panels where he throws the ball (or a rock, as in the splash page) the projectile disappears behind the next panel in a very unrealistic looking way. It's probably intentional, but the way it is done -- as if the panel is pasted over the existing drawing of the ball -- makes it look as if something was changed in the story.
