“What brings you back Lila?” She must be a real “regular.” She also forgot to mention the most troubling thing to her soul, she missed the annual shoe sale at Snooty’s R Us.
One of the things I loved SO much about this strip was the depiction of faith. Lila (and Drew) clearly had a relationship to their religion and their God, and it was a natural part of their lives but not its totality. It informed everything else. And I loved that the faith wasn’t presented as anti-gay. (I assume Lila to be Episcopalian from the Catholic-lite depictions). I also love that Lila was deeply flawed and still went to church, strove to be better usually, often failed at that, but was clearly motivated by a good heart and desire to be better.
Church is an enormous routine part of a lot of lives in the US, and rarely does media capture that sense of routine faith. Forgetta et al did a great job with this.

Failure of ‘prayer’ is a historical FACT. You can just go through human history and see where it did not do a d4mn thing.
