Strange panel layout non-consistent, breaks time and space. Subconscious patterns generated in our head from experiences. The child is the baby you want to protect, but can be associated with objects. The trickster wants to create disruption and chaos for the sake of joy. Not always perceived as bad, very important to creative mind. The outback is actually julie"s subconsciousness where archetypes run wild. Gone exists and has had interacted and potentially abused julie, however his supernatural villain aspect is made up in the subconscious. The powerful maxx is built in julies mind, however the real maxx is a homeless guy who wears the costume, however does not play it as well. Theoretically the archetypes of the outback escape through the rupture in julie"s psych with breaches reality. Maxx is the rabbit and not the lion.
