It’s neat how Thorsby’s minimalist art and flat affect storytelling nevertheless managed to absolutely nail the whole “guy talking to you in a bar” experience.

I bet there's some animals in the zoo that eat happiness, or at least people who outwardly appear happy.

I think you guys might be forgetting that Klara has the same expression on her face no matter what she's doing or how she's feeling (except for the last panel when she's posing for a portrait).

Yeah, didnt Klara have a big moment about how she struggles to outwardly express emotion?

JustaDamnFool posted:Yeah, didnt Klara have a big moment about how she struggles to outwardly express emotion? I don't think so, I think everyone just knows she's like that and doesn't mind it that much. I mean it's probably easier to read a human who doesn't emote than most of the other races they coexist with fairly happily.

I will NOT be surprised at all if it turns out Thorsby intended Klara to be autistic.

Man, I always feel a little empty space in my week when a Thorsby comic comes to a close. Glad to read the ending, but sad to see it go.pathetic little tramp posted:A classic Thorsby ending leaving you just missing all of the characters and seeing none of their flaws fixed What are you talking about? Audrey fixed her crucial flaw of not owning three taverns, a casino, and a novelty dildo factory.

In hindsight, I think Thorsby's comics work better if you're reading them in one go rather than spread out over a few years. At least if your memory is as bad as mine. I've forgotten about some characters that made a return and wrongly thought some scenes from this comic were actually from other Thorsby ones.

Audrey and Lyndon never becoming parents is the most unambiguously positive ending possible.

Also from the hair styles it looks like it was around the marriage to the stock broker that Audrey get arrested, and her success time is around when she married Lyndon again.

With Thorsby being Thorsby, I was nervous right up until "The End" that there'd be some sort of twist. This comic's brightened my Mondays and Fridays for the last several years and I'm really going to miss it. I should get Thorsby a present or something (not that I have any address to send it to).

This was a wonderful comic and it & Hitmen are pretty much equal in my mind insofar as Thorsby's comics go. Hitmen was grander in scale but I really like how Thorsby's stories have gained more narrative consistency over time; Trixie wrapped all the storylines neatly and without extraneous stuff (not that I mind the extraneous stuff either in Thorsby comics, though.)

I think Thorsby has steadily been getting better. Hitmen is about level with Space Spy for me, with Brain Chip being a bit below them, but I think that's less because of a lack of skill and more because he tackled a really, really high-concept setting and didn't quite stick the landing in parts. But the quality of his art has been improving over time, and the sophistication (not the same thing as complexity!) of his plots and characterization has improved too. I'm really excited to see what he does next.
