Wow!! What a powerful book! Casey and Katchoo are getting things ready to head to Germany, for David's treatments. He's in the bathroom shaving, when . . . . . BANG!!! He's out cold on the floor. Katchoo tries to perform CPR on him, while Casey calls 911. As the ambulance arrives, so to does Francine. She's finally got the courage to come over and talk to Katchoo, and this is what she walks in on. David's taken to the hospital. There's no dialogue after that. There's really doesn't need to be any. All the words are conveyed by the expressions of the characters. Even Tamby can't hide her feelings when she's called and told what's going on. I take that back, there is some conversation. But it's between David and, what I guess is, his spirit guide. She shows up to take him "home". Francine has stayed with Katchoo and Casey during this whole ordeal, to console and offer comfort to them. Of course Casey is the one in her lap most of the time. Katchoo tries to be the super-woman. Impervious to harm. But I think it's even more than she can take. As she's sitting next to his bed, with her head resting on his arm, she thinks she sees him look at her and wink. But then the nurse wakes her up to tell her that he's gone. The final four pages are all black. Thanks to www.milehighcomics.com for the assist with the cover. And thanks to Terry Moore for such a wonderful book, spectacular characters, and such a phenomenal series. I hope you're planning on doing something after this. You're a definite asset to the industry. Thank you!!!
