Oops, I almost let a BT update go by without comment.
Samuel annoints David - I really like how you start with the reference to the
killing in the previous story. Nice continuity. The fact that he’s still
carrying the axe puts a new spin on the “Do you come in peace?” question in the
next picture. I like the carcass on the altar quite a bit.
God torments Saul - In Jesse’s house I really like the window you made with the
back sides of headlight bricks and the inverted slopes. I’m not a fan of your
lyre solution at all, though I have no good alternative. The effect of putting
the feet back a stud to make Saul lean against the pillar is quite good.
Goliath attempts to limit bloodshed - Nice Goliath solution. Makes me think of
Mike Crowley’s Brickfas figs a little. He looks best in 17:16 with the bent
leg. That Duplo bear always looks mildly confused - “Why is this boy hitting
me with a stick?”
David decapitates Goliath - Some really nice effects in this one - David with
the crown not fitting, the sling being held out of the frame of the picture so
it looks like it’s in action, and the stone hitting Goliath (I assume this is a
careful balancing act?).
Another slaughter - The dead along the road from Ekron work quite well. The
“Why doesn’t he remember me?” in the last panel makes me think of Mr. Burns and
Homer.
Jonathan’s feelings - Hmm, the homoerotic twist on their friendship is
interesting. In the last scene, it is unclear what the naked Jonathan is
handing to David.
Fate of Goliath’s head - These are well done, but not a lot to comment on here.
I enjoy how David is lugging the head around for the last three stories.
