This issue truly was a Garf-worthy lasagna. Packed full of action and feelings and re-calls of old characters, it was a joy to read. Esther and Ed are finally getting somewhere. McGraw and Susan are great. Daisy got some exercise. 10/10 would recommend.

First I just want to say that I absolutely love this issue cover. It’s so cute, plus I’m really digging the deep purple background. It really works, and it fits in perfectly with Esther’s aesthetic. So win-win.
Speaking of Esther, she’s more or less the main focus of this issue. Yes, we see Suzie and Daisy, plus there’s Ed and McGraw (actually, there’s quite a bit of Ed). I think we all saw this coming, truth be told. You know that classic story where one person (cough Ed cough) is completely smitten with somebody (Esther) but the second person doesn’t reciprocate until the first move on? Well…yeah. Like I said, we all saw that one coming. That doesn’t mean it’s any less interesting. For one thing, we had no idea how well (or poorly) Esther would take the situation. Now we have an idea. I won’t say what my reaction is to how Esther handled it, because that’ll completely give it away.
I have to say, while I do think Ed and Esther would be cute together, I’m kind of shipping the relationship he has with the new girl. They’re so cute together, and she clearly adores him. They work. I don’t know how long they’ll last, but I’m happy for them for now.
Meanwhile Daisy is having fun with the holiday spirit, mostly by becoming an employee at a Christmas village-like place. And it’s probably not a cult. So we’re good.
Suzie didn’t really have her own plot this issue, but she played a supporting role for Esther’s story, as well as McGraw’s (which will end up connecting both plots). She’s just as sassy as ever though.

Delightful, as usual. I continue to love Susan and McGraw like no other, and oh poor Esther. Just when she thinks she figures something out, a wrench gets thrown in and everything is messy again. Cannot WAIT for issue 43!!

I think I've finally come to the realization that there's no use in waiting for the trades. The series is just too irresistible. I'd perish thought of leaving a single issue unread.

"How was your day?" "Oh you know. Hospital. another great reminder that one day we'll all be compost."
Esther acting like a proper adult for the first time since forever is honestly so refreshing :').
