I’m not sure that the switch from the appropriately confused jumble of viewpoints in the first four panels to the static point of view in the next four is entirely effective, although the change probably makes the joke of Alec’s lack of involvement in the actual fight rather clearer. And I love the hands on the end of the looping caption pointers.
It’s more violence for Bahlactus, whose appetite is never sated.

My enjoyment of Alec strips always depends on my thirst at the time.
Which reminds me, gotta go get a beer.
Cheers!
"And I love the hands on the end of the looping caption pointers."
Perhaps a tip of the hat to Carmine Infantino, who used the device often.
Update:
Ow my head. OWWWWWW!
