Unless you're the first person in this thread to compliment "Colorists" as a singular entity non-sarcastically.

I... did not notice that. Fine. My apologies, Colorists, good job on not loving up the strip! (Genuinely not sarcasm.)

Uh... kind of agreeing with Obvious Villian Character here... Not saying he should be content to just lie around and leech off her for the rest of his life or even that he should accept that headmaster deal, but he behaves as if it's a slap in his face personally any time she wants to make use of her own money. That's gross.

For gently caress's sake, Ed, angels don't have to conform to human ideas of how reality works. They are well beyond that. Angels could look like the taste of the colour blue.

Edit: Considering how various angels are actually described, you probably want them to look like the taste of the colour blue. The seraphim, in Eastern Orthodoxy at least, are somewhat horrifyingly described as "six winged, many eyed." Azrael, an angel of death in various Jewish and Islamic sects, has been described as having "four faces, and four thousand wings, and his whole body consists of eyes and tongues, the number of which correspond to the number of people inhabiting the Earth. He will be the last to die, recording and erasing constantly in a large book the names of men at birth and death, respectively."

People are dying of starvation on the streets as we speak. Peaceful protestors being unlawfully detained. Children shot as they hold their hands up in surrender. Single mothers losing their jobs. Wars are being fought, thousands of innocents die in rubble and fire every day. Somewhere, a child tries to wake their mother, who has taken her final breath.

The Great Am is actually God. Warbucks can't 'afford' to enter His golden palace (Mark 10:25), but Am insists that he and the rest of the cast stay there.

Little Orphan Annie is dead, and this storyline is the sendoff.
