Panel 1: Back at the funeral, we are now going to see
the Comedian from Dr. Manhattan’s point of view, and it is appropriate that we
open with a shot looking down from on high, again symbolizing how Dr. Manhattan
looms over everything in this world.
It is
also worth noting that the only ones that have any color attributed to them –
other than the minister’s red stole – are those that have some connection with
masked adventurers – Blake’s coffin, Veidt, Manhattan, Dreiberg, and, with the
distinct red roses, Moloch.
Panels 3-4: We have another of the “cinematic”
transitions where Manhattan’s visage remains
unchanged (other than his dress) and the roses being held by Moloch turn into
the fireworks display in Vietnam.
Panel 5: Newspaper headline in the foreground
reads: “[VIC]TORY! [Sa]ys Dick!”
Unlike in our time, America
wins in Vietnam
thanks to Dr. Manhattan.
