Tom, these are even better than the first two. The people-watching page works especially well, in fact it’s beautiful. As does the meandering forms of the conversation, it mimics real dialogue perfectly and you’ve got this Caulfieldish tone in the narrative voice which suits the images perfectly. It’s well paced, and beautifully designed. And the drawings are better. Seriously: nice work dude.

Good stuff… The juxtaposition of the naturalistic and affectionate dialogue with the different layouts, ranging from the formalist 16 panel grid to the meandering, rivered flow of images on p 31, works terrifically well. Just gets better and better… :)
