Play-By-Play Commentary

Goat's Head Soup

Oh, that's just lovely. There's so much to take in here.

Not sure what to make of the translucency behind the red. Just a way to make it feel as though it's "building" upon Inman's last shot? Or something else?

The border really makes the whole thing sing.

More great type. Looks like H&FJ's Knockout. I particularly enjoy the large parentheses.
