Here we are about to have another Father and Son brawl and in that very room the Father’s violin holds a “powerful bomb”, one that could kill or maim one or both of them.
Handled correctly, such a tragedy or near death experience could be used to bring about a warm heart-felt reunion.
It might be a big PLUS to introduce that sort of quality emotional experience in the strip, one to trigger reader “empathy”. The strip has been void of those “senses” for a very long time.
The last real occasion was Kilian’s 1997 (July to Dec) “Class Reunion” story with Tracy’s High School sweet-heart Betsy Deare who died (arguably, Kilian’s best story).
Since then we have had “uncharacteristic” FEAR tantroms from Tracy (in the Tigers cage) which some may find and describe as as a story fully charged with “emotion” - but sorry, I could never count those “fake-like”, unworthy displays.
