Okay, the same stuff as last post.

this one is short, it only covers the last two issues.

just to be on the safe side, i'll put that all the characters/
etc. mentioned here are copywrite DC Comics.

so there.

Spoilers, for those who haven't guessed.








ISSUE #11 
Cover:  Note that the smiley pattern appears on the 
butterfly.  This effectively inverts the blood
splatter motif from on the smiley (which has its own analogue
in this panel) to around it.

Page 3 Panel 3 the annots ask, "where did Rorschach get
the sugarcubes"-- the easiest answer is he took a whole bunch when 
last he was at Dan's.

Panel 5 The painting of Alexander the Great shows him cutting the
Gordian Knot.

Page 7, Panel 1 Note the ankh design on the bench where the assis-
tants sit drinking their wine.

Page 14 Panel 5 Note again the buterfly.

Page 28 Annots writes, "this marks the only time that the 9
panel grid is more finely subdivided."
This is wrong- there is at least one more time (issue #7), maybe
more (i stopped looking at that point)

Panel 1 The Annots writes "the clock in the car 
is 35 minutes early"  
This is wrong.  The scene is happening at that time, 35 minutes
earlier than the action at the south pole, although both
are interspersed with each other.

Pages 29-32
Page 59 (within those pages) Paragraph 2
Viedt mentions a disease in Africa-  This is an especially
paranoid theory of how AIDS was started (the text mentioned,
not just a disease in Africa) [ed. the theory makes
no logical sense, but i've heard it enough]

NOTE: that should read PAGE 9, NOT Page 59 (my mistake)

Page 10 Paragraph 5 (i think) While the original
of dubbing may or may not be true according to the text, it
was becoming popular at about that time.


ISSUE #12
Page 1 Note the lettering of the clock.

Page 5 Also note the Hiroshima Lovers.

Page 8, Panels 7,9  Note the Hiroshima Lovers's placement.

Page 23, Panel 1 Note Rorschach's mask pattern mirrors 
the silhouette on Page 22, Panel 7

Page 24, Panel 3 Rorschach is killed without his mask on, hence
his "identity is uncertain"

Panel 5 Maybe it's just me, but this splattered blood
looks like the smiley splotch as seen in profile.

Page 26  more butterflies

Page 27 Note ankh design on pedestal ("i've made myself
FEEL every death")


Okay that's it.

Hope it was worth your while.
