I've seen it done well, but I've also seen it become a gimmick. I considered it for the flashback sequences, but when I looked at the actual comics for inspiration, the pattern wasn't all that apparent. Maybe next time.<br /><br />Arnie, I alluded to those numbers in Monday's post, which has a link to James Gurney's blog post on the topic.
