Awesome work.

Agree, this was an extremely effective narrative, the imagery in the final scenes really hit home, and showed what comics could be. Excellent.

Many feel it was relevant and significant, so more power to them and Batiuk. What died for me in this narrative is my interest in the strip. I can’t and don’t follow the strip anymore once it ceased to be funny and intelligible (to me). Not that it matters … it’s just my opinion. I still defend Batiuk’s right to take the strip where ever he wants too.
