can we not find out that darren is just some sort of worthless loser and that the lesson is shauna was *right* and *a good person* for sending him to jail and theres no reason for her to question herself even slightly

dude felt so real at times

I wonder if the 'twist' here is going to be that Shauna didn't send Darren to jail - her mum did, or he was already about to be arrested, but she understandably remembers herself as the centre of the universe...

Well, the other uncomfortable reality is the whole social class thing. Shauna's bright but she's also reaching the point in her life where society's just going to start giving Mildred and Lottie stuff and while keeping it from Shauna. Seriously, which one's going to have an easier time at the Oxbridge interviews: Mildred or Shauna?

The Wicke family just aren't good with money :(

Or has Shauna's mum just paid off Darren's debt?

It's a roughly comparable amount of debt to what say it'd take an American working-class family to send Shauna to college, it's a new car, it's a small traditional wedding, it's a down payment on a lovely house, it's a significant amount of money poor people go into hock for every day and pay off over the next decade or two without magical intervention with a somewhat shittier than average interest rate. They won't be sending Shauna's mom to debtor's prison and putting her children into slavery unto the fourth generation.

It's not like Sy's a regulated lending institution either he'd totally be coming back for more if Daz was still around, but he's the only one foolish and vulnerable enough to actually keep paying forever and think that's helping matters.

I suspect it wasn't a coincidence Shauna's mum met Sy in a pub - nice and public, with plenty of people to remember Sy telling things were all square. Twenty grand's a massive payday for Sy and far more than he'd ever get from Daz - and if Sy screws Shauna's mum over now, nobody will ever offer him that kind of money ever again.

Giant Days got an Eisner nomination for Best Continuing Series. Cool to see the bobbins-verse getting that kind of recognition.

Giant Days really is very good, it's such a good read.

I liked Jack and Linton when they were treated sympathetically :( it's been a long time since they showed up as anything other than gigantic idiots.

Lottie, Shauna and Mildred tend to treat Jack and Linton as being much dumber than they actually are. Linton basically solved the time-travel traincrash mystery without trying.

A brief mispost on Facebook suggests we'll see Little Claire's influence at play.
