Watchmen IV 7-8
Bench #1903. We are in flashback to Gila Flats Test Base, Arizona in the 1950s, seeing how Jon Osterman became Dr. Manhattan in a classic superhero laboratory accident. I couldn't resist turning it into a Windows Blue Screen of Death gag. (In Watchmen, Jon gets trapped in the machine I drew in the background.) Since I drew Gabe (instead of clipping character art as usual) in the final panel, I cheated and used Penny Arcade art for the computer in the foreground -- scenes of Gabe at that computer are in many Penny Arcade strips.
