Description
An early page from the ongoing story of Joe is Japanese, I had a good bit of fun with the onomatopoeia in those last couple panels. Check it out in full color with words and in sequence over at the Joe site.

There was a bit of a scuffle over the orientation of the central panels, with one side wanting to flip 'em horizontal so that the action consistently runs left-right, and the other side wanting it this way as the action follows the "Z" layout across the page. The latter won out, but I don't know that either viewpoint is "wrong" exactly... it's just one of those fun arguments that comes up when laying out sequential art.
