There is so much coming and going and going on in this widescreen tableau. And as the first poster above observed, there’s much fun to be had following the characters from frame to frame as their individual episodes unfold. It makes me think of certain classical paintings with crowds of people all doing their own things and largely unaware of one another. “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” is one such. Wallace’s little boots in the last panel are exactly like the bare feet of Icarus after his fall from the sky. In fact, it’s something of a game of a painting… as in “Find Icarus in this picture.”
