Wapsi Square – Thursday, March 24, 2005 —
Man, Wapsi’s getting intense again. Last time it was Monica and her strange history of supernatural encounters and suicidal depression, and now it’s Shelly flashing back to her childhood and, I believe, the time of her mother’s death (which we’ve heard about earlier in the comic), while she tries to deal with her increasing intimacy with Heather…
Paul Taylor’s good at this. It’d be easy for this kind of drama & expressionism to just be over the top, but at least to me it seems really intense and real.
