 Some comics come about because I had an idea for them and found the pictures.  Here, I found the pictures and had to come up with the idea.  The only reason this comic exists is because I had some frames of Alina's legs.  I thought, "Hey, Alina's legs," and wondered what to do with them.  (Some of the lines would have found homes in different comics, though, if not here.)
 Scots: Thanks.  Actually, this wasn't a scene at all, but a collection of frames from different parts of the movie.  I discovered that individual Jaffar/Alina scenes were too static -- not enough camera angles or kinds of facial expressions -- to reconstruct a dynamic scene.
 
 In this case, the very first frame of Jaffar is from the very first shot we ever see of him, when the mother is introducing all the characters.  I suspect that one shot was actually lifted from footage shot for the final confrontation, though, when Sinbad breaks into his lair and starts issuing threats.
 
 The second close-up of Jaffar comes after Soukra has arrived, and they're standing side-by-side as they look at Alina.  Jaffar starts incanting stuff and making some good expressions in the process.  Great though that final shot of Jaffar is, I can't remember where it came from.  Probably the end again.
 
 The gleeful shots of Alina actually also come from the end, when she's watching Sinbad break out of Jaffar's light-beam cage.  The leg shots come from the very first time we see her tied up in that thing:  the camera starts at her feet and pans up her body.  I already used snippets of this pan and pieced them together in Episode #51.
 
 It's dangerous to borrow shots from later in the movie, because that means I have less to work with once I catch up to those points.  But I have a general idea of where I'm going, so hopefully it'll work out.
