I think Bishop's friendly smile from earlier made an impression!
The challenge for this page was taking dialogue from three previous pages, scrapping out bits and pieces, and pasting them together to present a relevant backstory for Bishop. This had to act not only as a recap, but as a substitute for Tedd's own thoughts, Jay's dialogue combined with the fantasy visuals meant to imply everything.
AND HEY, maybe I communicated what I wanted! I'll know soon enough!
As for why I didn't want any of Tedd's current thoughts—by which I mean words—it wasn't an idea I set out with. It's just when I tried to add any, it didn't feel like Tedd thinking. It felt like narration. So I used Jay's words as context, and stuck with the most incredibly subtle visuals for Tedd's thoughts.
