I fully drew and colored all the figures/expressions in that center panel. Then I wanted to make it look Dramatic and Unique and stand out from the rest, so I covered everything but the hair in Utena-type silhouettes.
Didn't delete the original art, though! Which is why you can see it here.
The last panel originally had a composition problem I seem to draw a lot -- "characters are too far apart to put speech bubbles outside them, but so close together that putting the speech bubbles in between them gets really cramped." I...tried to fix it, for the Master's Edition? Still not perfect, but I think it helped.
Sparrow: . . . Can’t think of a better line than that to leave on. Freyde! C’mere.
Guard: Uh, boss, should we stop them from going? They disarmed us all, but we could . . . tackle them, maybe?
Miaranda: How about you back off, and we don’t report you to the real cops for shooting at my dad.
Walker: Guards . . . give our visitors a polite escort off the property. Then double the building security against anyone who looks like them. Or who fails the entry CAPTCHA.
Walker (thinking): You may have come out ahead today . . . but don’t let it go to your heads.
I’m already working on ways to retaliate. First off — I have no more doubt that the Rabbit’s Master is Cohen’s pompous “boyfriend.” If I can’t get any destructive leverage from a secret that big — why, I might as well retire.
Bennett: What are you talking about, Dr. Rosen? I already revealed my big secret! On live TV, even!
Rosen: Mr. Bennett, I refer to the secret apart from your previously poorly-hidden sexual orientation.
Bennett: Gosh, your accent is so thick, I didn’t catch that last part.
