amazing!very well done, I haven't read through it completely yet, but will do so sure enough soon.I often think about these things a little myself when going through usagi's adventures, but not that detailed mind you.very well observed!!
I'ld love to see a book just that same way done on examples from all of usagi's stories.that would be great.I think it adds to the admiration of the work regarded as well.
I have just been inking a comic page all day long and was very happy to read that part about the heavy blacks doing a lot for the page's weight cause I like to use it every so often myself and wasn't sure what it did(just that it added to the design of a page you can feel I think..)
great job done and thanks for the hours put in for the learning experience!
peace

It's like I've been saying for years now...Stan Sakai is the absolute master at manipulating the action in a panel.
