I was thinking about doing this awhile ago and didn't get past the layouts. One correction I would make is that that the layout of the panels in the Watchmen comics don't necessarily match the layouts of the Tales of the Black Freighter comics. A good example is shown on page 25 of issue (chapter) VIII when you see the comic page the boy is reading you'll notice that the 1/6 size panels number one and three of the Watchmen page are the number one and two panels that are 1/4 size in Black Freighter comic over a 1/2 size panel that appears to be advertising two pirate comics. I hope my explanation isn't too confusing. I would love to see where this goes from here. You did a lot of great work. I was thinking about doing this awhile ago and didn’t get past the layouts.

I think it would make a wonderful dramatic monolouge. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been looking around for a compiled script of the whole thing sans pictures.

It encapsulates everything you need to know about the ethics of Watchmen. Absolutely awesome, thanks for taking the time to do this.
