Strangers in Paradise #85 - Abstract Studio


This is a fantastic book. I can't believe there's only 5 issues left. Where has the time gone? And there's still so much going on. Katchoo is trying to have David's baby. Why? Because David is dying and only has a few months to live. Also because Casey can't have a baby, so Katchoo has elected to be the one to do it. David has a brain tumor. He and Katchoo and Casey are getting ready to go to Germany to try some new experimental treatment on him. Francine is getting divorced. She's decided that she loves Katchoo and is going to try to get back into her life. But, Casey trys to head her off at the pass. Casey loves Katchoo, but more importantly, she doesn't want to see Francine hurt her again. Meanwhile, Francine finds out the Freddie has put pictures of her on the internet. Pictures that she's asked for him to return but he never has. So she takes matters into her own hands. Or . . . foot. Hard in the crotch! This book is fantastic. I can't think of any other book out there that makes you care for the characters as much as this book does. I feel like I'm watching a movie, rather than reading a book. There's always some scene in there where I get a little teary eyed. I will definitely miss these characters when they're gone.
