"Huh? What happens is I just stay down here and screw all your predictions, Huh? What happens then?" (panel 5, page 5, chapter 9).
Chapter nine explores Dr. Manhattan's humanity. Moore uses this dilemma to discuss the importance of human kind, which is a debate that has been discussed since the creation of human kind. Laurie speaks for the goodness of human nature, while Manhattan is sceptical. In this panel, Gibbons has draw Manhattans reflection, which connects him to human kind. His reflection, although blue, would be thought of as human if removed from the object casting the shadow. Moore is telling the reader that he still is connected to human kind, and only needs someone to remind him of it.

yes! I like seeing how you discuss the images and words working in unison -- and the commentary is right on as well
