It was a beautiful lo...I absolutely loved Lost Cat. It was a beautiful love story that, as you said, blends realism and the absurd perfectly. I've told everyone I've met for years that you're not just the best graphic novelist out there, but probably the best short story writer working PERIOD. Your minimalist approach will lose readers who would like things spelled out or tied up quite nicely. But I'll take an emotional and slightly open ending every time. At the end of A Farewell to Arms, we don't get a neat resolution. We just get that gut punch and the walk away. <br /><br />Here, you have the two lovers reunited in this bittersweet, heartbreaking moment. And the sharing of the cigarette...spot on. What's left to be said? It's ineffable. And so we have that beautiful moment. <br /><br />Up there with my personal favorite--Hey, Wait...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561673522093736771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789524189763910172.post-82489171165616119402014-10-17T10:23:10.159-07:002014-10-17T10:23:10.159-07:00Oh wow, top five of all time!

Actua...Just so you know: I for one LOVE the ending! Actually that specific ending makes Lost Cat probably my favorite of all your stories, and so among my personal top five of all time best comics. I love exactly how it almost makes me cry, but halts the tears just barely with its comical absurdity. This creates a tension that makes it, just like you say, good comics!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
