The view from above

This one's a bit odd, as it's one of the few times I chose to draw Smith from an angle other than straight on. Here, to give the illusion of Smith travelling downhill on a snowboard, rather than mucking about with a frozen solid skateboard on level ground, I've chosen a God's eye view. For a collection of bizarre viewpoints, frequently used in the same strip to great effect, check out Rose is Rose, which is what happens when the Family Circle enters the cubist zone.
