Feels like this house hunt is being dragged on for a bit too long, but I suppose it’s supposed to be a dramatic arc in the trio’s relationships. Just feels a bit much. But poor, poor Esther and Daisy.
In my impatience to wait for the next collected volume of Giant Days, I headed over to Hoopla to pick up the single issues and in #33, the cracks that were barely starting to show in the last few issues are very real.
As Daisy and Susan, both in love and wanting more time with their beloveds, break the sacred bond of sisterhood and leave Esther on her own as she looks for housing for the upcoming year.
Gasp! Will Esther find a home before then? Will Daisy be able to live with her love and keep her sanity? Is Susan no longer angry and bitter? Wait is she smiling?
Allison answered these questions and more in this issue and accompanying him as always Fleming's artwork drives home the characterizations on each one in the facial expressions. I love this over because of the expressions as it leaves one thinking, "Just what did they see?"
Daisy, Ed, and Esther should take that REALLY nice place together. Daisy DOES NOT nor SHOULD NOT live in a wooden box in a 24 hour rave! Though I do like that it's showcasing well that time in college when your living situation switched gears.
"Unrequited love is a bad path. It's called a crush because it crushes you" Do you know that feeling you get when you see your friends making bad decisions? That undeniable, naggy voice in your head that pushes you to shake them a little? Well that's what this issue brought forth for me. McGraw is right, there are degrees to terrible and Ed is making a horrible decision! Giving at your own detriment is foolish. How is he ever going to survive in this shoebox?! And what is Esther thinking to even accept such an extravagant offer?! If he doesn't have the best freaking year in this box I'll be PISSED.
Daisy too, needs a shake up. She's too smart to be living in a full time rave. I feel like even on her wildest day this life isn't her scene. Ingrid is full on infiltrating her personality. Where is she going and how are we going to bring her back to her senses?!
I don't feel like any of this is going to end well.. "I have laid on the floor many times since Cheryl left me. But it won't swallow me, no matter how hard I wish." Is this an acceptable response to a comic-induced panic attack?! Because I am FEELING THIS right now. Haha!
I loved Ed Gemmell's face on the phone. I also loved the group of boys that looked like our group of girls. This issue felt a little slow and repetitive.
