love makes promises you have to keep

verbicideGod. I love SiP. So. Very. Very. Much.
Doing yet another re-read. Was very intrigued by the conclusion of the Lindsay Noel thing, and having re-read the section where we're introduced to her, I must say I am even more confused.
From Volume 3
Issue 40.
I love the passage of Francie walking around on the green musing about her dad and mom.
"When dad left us, I never saw her cry. Oh she bitched and whined and carried on but--she never cried. It made me mad. Like maybe she had a cold spot for dad that drove him away.
But now, when I think about it, my mother got up early and made a hot breakfast for my father every day they were married. Every day for 27 ears.
Then, one day, he ate her breakfast and left her for a younger woman who gave him sex for lunch. You don't cry over men like that, even if he is my father. You can bitch and whine and carry on, but you don't cry. I understand that now."
So David collapses, clutching his head. How come that never went anywhere? Or is that why Katchoo is sad in the 10 year forward flash. He's died of a brain tumor, the glimpse of which we see in this issue?
Issue 45.
I'm still not sure I understand who the two women on the cover are supposed to be. Katchoo and Casey?
The opening scene with Lindsay Noel. She's allegedly in college and her mom finds her after the attack. It would have to be a college that she and Dumoni attended together, right? I don't get it. Wouldn't all that stuff be hard to prove, as she was in Miami? It really doesn't add up.
Francie answering the door for pizza, and it's Freddie, chasing her down yet again.
"All I have is a twenty. Can you..."
"Change? Yes I CAN! And you don't even have to pay me!"
David, desperately reaching out to a walled up, violent Katchoo.
"Let go of me, asshole!!"
"Asshole? We've gone from 'I love you' to asshole?"
"I've given up everything to be with you, Katina. Now you want my self respect, too?"
And the final page, with In My Life bordering the panels.

My favorite issues are still High School and before. Or, actually, I guess, up to the end of Katchoo's stint as Mr. King, though that's pushing it. After that, I feel like he just lost what he was doing, or where he was going with it. For like 3 years. Now it's kind of interesting again, but I'm still not riveted like I was before.
*very bothered by this*

And I mean, how did she even know that he was going to get frisky with Monica--which led to his arrest? I hate it when he does shit like this. It makes no sense.
My favorite issues are definitely in the same area. I find that the Parker stuff, though fascinating when I was first reading it, does little for me. I almost entirely skip those issues, unless I like a particular panel.
And I was really disillusioned (Koo? WTF IS KOO?!?) a few issues back, but I'm intrigued by this new stuff. I'm still riveted but, um, cautiously so, if that makes sense.

Date: 2004-08-11 11:15 pm (UTC)The Parker stuff I still find interesting. I dunno. I guess it's like with seasons 2&3 of Buffy. Or even Xena. It's like the series' golden age - how you remember it when it was of the good, and you want it to still be like that even though the characters and plot have outgrown it over the years. Once Katchoo is in Hawaii with David and Francine is in Tennessee with her mom and Brad, it's almost like a different series to me. None of it after that would have made me read the rest of the series, had I just picked up one of those issues.
"Neh. Lesbian melodrama. *toss*"
Anyway. The Koo issue was like.. when I was a sophomore in college. Does time fly, or what? That's when I handed the series to Murph with the disclaimer: the latest issues blow. And she ripped through the entire series in a day and a half and remains obsessed with the High School TPB (she's such a sap *coo*).
