    Wow, that's a nice little story. However, I have to say that it's really elevated by Sutton's art into something spectacular.

    Sutton's art works well for this compressed Moby Dick riff, with a twist that takes an ocean full of suspension of disbelief and the concept of scale to swallow! Not a bad little post-code monster tale.
