Jack of Fables #3 (2006) page 4: Hatching a plot

Bill Willingham's "Fables" series imagined fairy tale characters living incognito in an American city. But what about non-human characters like the Three Little Pigs? They are sequestered on a rural setting, The Farm, under the guard of a team of Librarians. In this story, Jack of Fables finds himself imprisoned there as well, and he's planning a jailbreak. On this page, after a secret meeting in the garage, he explains to Mother Goose and Humpty Dumpty why they can't come, being very conspicuous in the mundane world.

This page underwent a little surgery prior to publication. A small opening panel now gives a close-up on Jack, necessitating the first panel on the page to have its right side trimmed, as seen in the "additional images" section.
