Description
Page 10 of Jonny Quest #1. Yes, this is from the infamous Toth critique story. Toth delivered some insightful notes to Steve, but Rude's breathtaking drawing skills overcome many of the storytelling gaffes Toth illuminated. For example, Alex blasts Steve for having Zin's face obscured; Well, that's in keeping with that character's mysterious, off panel depiction from the show.

My opinion, though flawed (what isn't?), it's a great page from a supreme talent. Also, Toth could have delivered an equally blistering critique to anyone, even himself. No one has ever, EVER done a job to which Toth couldn't have delivered this treatment. To a lesser degree, perhaps, but Toth could have eviscerated The Crushed Gardenia or Krigstein's Master Race while in this mode.

I agree with your analysis of Toth's critique. Steve was still fairly early in his career, while Toth at that point was in full misanthrope mode, effectively estranged from comics and animation and much of his own family because he was so harsh and intolerant of everyone and everything. And few people note that the critique was based on fuzzy 1980's fax machine images of Steve's pencils. Anyway, this is a wonderful page from a nifty little story.
