A rather remarkable story on Garry Trudeau here: [link]
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was incredible, thanks.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, wow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Totally amazing.

I've adored Doonesbury for years. I remember the gut punch I felt when I realized B.D. had gone down.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I remember the gut punch I felt when I realized B.D. had gone down.
Right? I was afraid at first that he was killed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It makes me feel almost guilty that I lapsed out of reading it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Me, too. I remember a large part of one particular job wherein I spent years reading through the archives in chronological order. After that I kept up daily for a while, but it's been some time since I've been a regular reader. And I should be. Because, love. You know, in that painful and real way.

What is even happening?
Me too, ita.
Corwood, that was great. I didn't really need to fall in love with Garry Trudeau, though.

B.D.'s whole story arc has been terrific. His daughter's friend is Mike Doonesbury's daughter, and the final panel in the strip where B.D.'s daughter says she's scared has her talking off screen while B.D. and Mike are listening. B.D. has such a broken look on his face.
Another strip has B.D. in a wheelchair in a store. A little boy is staring at him. Roughly: "You lost your leg." "Uh huh." "Were you in the war?" "Uh huh." Kid's mother: "Billy, come on now, don't stare." Kid: "So you're a hero, then." B.D., finally smiling: "I guess so."
