52nd Door

Ten minute breath holding time is impressive. I had to get an MRI a few years ago and could barely go thirty seconds. My lungs had gotten a little fucked up though so that didn’t help, but still. Impressive.

And I realize now that some readers might think that the stomach-mouth did Ed’s breathing for him somehow, but I want to direct everyone’s attention to these two panels from the first chapter, where Ed says definitively that the inside of the stomach-mouth isn’t connected to his own stomach, and if it was connected to any part of his insides, it would that and not his lungs.

That sure is some ten-year-old art, huh? Jackson’s feelings about Ed’s situation haven’t changed.
