Panel 3: Again, Moore & Gibbons play the words against
the imagery as the gentleman on the right complains about Castro’s beard and
the countercultural image of Elvis Presley, stating, “I thought I’d just about
seen it all” at which point a brain and circulatory system with eyes
materializes behind them – something far more jarring than Elvis or Castro.
Panels 5-7: In this series of panels we see Jon Osterman
working to reconfigure his body – first, his circulatory system, followed by a
partially muscled skeleton. The third
panel repeats the image previously seen where a younger Jon was working with
the many cogs and gears of his father’s watch in order to put it back
together. This image symbolizes what Jon
is now doing – taking the various “cogs and gears” of his body and putting them
back together in the correct order so that he can have a working body again.
