Hey! I’m just relieved Corey didn’t just bulldoze Boone into the same mass grave as Deloris, Chuck, and Banks. He’s capable of almost anything, you know.
I think the story of the week is kinda sweet - except that you don’t really notice that, because it’s also funny and (as Dusty always is) exasperating and definitely in-your-face with the finale. A keeper, for whenever anyone I know needs that sort of “I’ve been there” company, with no hint of a lecture.
Speaking of in-your-face, I think “facing the mortician” or “facing a 20-year sentence” or “facing defeat” is an awful figure of speech. Probably popularized by newspaper reporters who need short words. But it’s so vague, as J.A.D. seems to say - do you “face” something when you confront the risk of it, or only when you’re committed to it?
Nobody knows - even the newspaper reporters could mean either one anytime. Almost as bad as things being “in the wake of things” anytime they occur a minute - or years - later in time.
Yet another way in which cartoonists are superior to reporters!
