Hooray! I'm enjoying all the interaction in this era of RACC and this is 
a good next step.

It's TRUE.

I gotta say I enjoy the reflectiveness and thoughtfulness of her work.

I enjoy this series a lot too, Tom's already written eloquently back in 
the day about it's Golden Ageiness, and there's also some good Image 90s 
energy in it too. It's like a version of Savage Dragon that hasn't 
degenerated into weird porn (which is often a good thing, but like, not 
when Erik Larsen does it).

The consistency of this series is one of its strengths. (That said, 
reading the latest issues I was wondering a bit if there'd be any 
progress on Monica and Godling's relationship soonish...)

The way I think of it is, it's like the kind of thing someone would 
write at the height of popularity of TVTropes, but in a good way.
