Play-By-Play Commentary

The Penultimate Volley

Mr. Draplin has one more chance to out fox the foxy Nakamoto. He has so far proven a very able conceptualizer (with the exception of his slap in my direction). He has returned each and every lob with skill and precision, and we all owe him a big hand for keeping us on the edge of our seats.

What's wonderful here is that conceptually speaking, all the hatchets are buried, and the ill will has been turned into fine graphics.

Hearts in pill form, the marriage of jell-caps and signs of love. Lovely. While I don't quite parse the symbolism, the entire woodcut style image warms those proverbial cockles.

Thanks Drap. I'm sorry I was such a pill. Now its up to David to show he's a mensch too.
