I just.. I try to avoid the “Let’s hate on this strip” discourse as rather than try to be funny or point out the strips flaws in a meanigful ways you guys just.. harp on the art or how long the arcs take.
But now we finally have a new take.. and it’s just baffling. A story based on compettition should have some mystery if the hero is going to win. Some tension. Yes Milford is loosing.. but Barjas set that up well: Gil’s dealing with stuff, the basketball team’s fallen apart after the rodney barnes movie, Milford’s slowly clawing their way back but it’s hard. And this matchup was set up for WEEKS and this loss was a genuine suprise when it was clear that’s the way it was going yesterday. It’s also got great storyline tension for it as Keri has a crush on someone whose both the compettition.. but a genuine support in her recovery. The story can be scattered for the strip, won’t pull punches there.. but it’s hard to deny Henry has actually set up a good story here.
