    Nicely done. I would've loved it even more if it'd been Tom Waits instead of Nick Cave, though.

    @Meredith Woerner: As much as I like Waits, I agree, his reading would have distracted from the art and story. This is purrrfect as is.

    Hmmm, maybe White & Gibson and the P.R.A. will get snapped up for a feature film like Shane Acker did. Not to expand on this one but something...

    Really nicely done. And the infernal instrument reminds me of the Sultan's human version in Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

    @Boas_MC: You realize somebody actually built that device at least once, for therapeutic purposes. It was meant to snap people out of there meloncholia. Sort of the reverse of Monty Python's "Confuse-a-Cat" Sketch.
