Watchmen II 3
Bench #1569. This one's not as literal a version as the other Watchmen strips; Veidt's and Manhattan's text is taken from other contexts in Watchmen (I 17 & IV 19) where they are referring to Blake. Further inside joke: Nite Squirrel's text is from Penny Arcade's 4/7/99 Illiad: Not Funny, which uses a cemetery photo that inspired this strip's drawn background. Look closely at the tombstone to the left of Blake's. This one took a while since I was playing with the parameters in Gimp's impressionist filter for the tree foliage.
