   Here’s me just covering my eyes and hoping moll and mercy don’t have an argue over this. Argh potential relationship drama! Somehow more stressful than the imminent physical threats.

     I know, right? For someone like Mercy, the whole physical danger thing is all in a day’s work. It’s the emotional exposure that a relationship calls for that presents the real challenges, and therefore makes for the best, most juicy story moments. If I have you on the edge of you seat, figuratively, I couldn’t be happier.

   It may be cold, so huddle together. Heh. 🙂

   This page is really interesting in the way how it tells the story through visuals and words, especially the 3rd and last panel: showing the bleak mountain landscape not with the mention of spending the night there, giving the impression time to sink in, and then showing Cactus’ expression. I’m curious how this will turn out. Whichever way, I hope that neither Mercy nor Molly will be irked by the outcome. They seem well enough aware of the concept of relationship anarchy, but it’s still hard to live beyond theory.

     Thank you, Corbie. Yes, that’s it exactly. While keeping the exchange flowing between Mercy and the sheriff, I wanted to also re-establish quietly the fact that while Rolo might be gone, they are still a long way from shelter and out in a harsh environment so that the sheriff’s last-panel observation would carry some dramatic weight. And also, you are right about relationships–they do tend to be fraught, don’t they? Trying to depict some of the undercurrents and complexities therein is at the heart of many a great tale. And I’m making my own humble attempt at it here. I hope it remains compelling enough to keep you coming back!
