clodia_risaFor anyone that reads Sluggy Freelance...jeez. Has this storyline not been the best ever? The Torg/alt. Zoe interaction? Lady Gwynn? Sweet Bun-Bun? Mosp?
And the recurring theme of redemption is so beautifully done. "That which redeems, consumes." This is true for Torg, Mosp, and Horribus. And for Mosp, it is not merely redemption in the form of saving Torg, but saving him so that he can spill the goodness and let it flow over the Dimension of Pain. She wants him to do what she could not, that is protect the goodness that was.
And Torg...poor Torg...he will never forgive himself for Zoe. "Redemption is overrated." "Horribus didn't promise to keep her safe." *cries*
But it has not just been "That Which Redeems". It has been nearly two years that it has been wonderfully beautiful. The Holiday Wars? Who could not love the Holiday Wars? *ka-clickity clickity click* I miss Bun-Bun. Not that I don't love our new Bun-Bun, but I'm ready to find out when he traveled to.
So, in conclusion, Sluggy Freelance is the best comic ever. It is concurrently humorous and tragic, without ever seeming to make light of the tragedy, or to bring down the humor too much. The characters are simultaneously amazingly well-fleshed and interesting, and caricatures and stereotypes.
Pete - you are a god.
