The Standard

And here we jump back into the content that was present from the first draft.  Originally, we went straight from the silent sequence on what is now page 15 to this… just think of how much good stuff we would have lost!

One little note about this page, as I believe there was some confusion over this back when the book was first released.  That’s not Bill Finney that’s interviewing Alex Thomas.  It’s Howie Hollows, chat show host.  The two originally looked more distinct, with Finney wearing glasses and Hollows wearing shades, but I believe a shading error led to Finney’s glasses becoming shades too.  But hopefully the lack of facial hair on Hollows still makes them distinct enough.
