I had hoped to go more visually absurd with the first panel, but as I was trying to sort it out, it didn't have the effect I was going for, and if felt way too visually busy.
I'm not sure why. All I wanted to do was have a bunch of baseballs flying around, some apple pies, and a couple of bald eagles in the background. Simple, right?
Anyway, I wanted it to be clear that Arthur does not think that America has achieved this ideal. This is not what he thinks America is. It is what he thinks America has the potential to be, what it SHOULD be, and what he hopes it will one day achieve.
