Much of Seth's preliminary art shows him working through the narrative flow of each comic page. In the example shown here, though, the artist takes great care with the design of a single important panel from Clyde Fans, part 4, of Abe Matchcard's wife Vera. Seth deftly uses one-point perspective with all lines emanating from the center of Vera's face, so that she appears radiant. Then he doubles down with the diagonal top rail of the staircase also leading to the vanishing point.
