Notes: For those of you who don't know, the costume I'm wearing is supposed to be Usagi Yojimbo (Japanese for "Rabbit Bodyguard"), the main character in Stan Sakai's comic book of the same name.

I've always liked playing around with comic frames the way film directors play with camera motion. The middle panels were meant to create the feeling of moving around the characters like a steady-cam shot in a movie cocktail party. I'm not sure if I achieved that sensation, but I do like the way the image can be seen as one, two, or three panels depending on how you look at it.
