While I respect and admire Ms. Bell-Lundy for what she is trying to do, it takes more than spending time at a shelter or talking with survivors to "get it".

She has that ability to draw people into her strip on a level that everyone relates to. I've started reading this storyline over the past week or so and have wondered what direction she is going in. I'm definitely interested in following it along. I'm sure it won't be an easy storyline for most to read as it may open up wounds in their past relationships but in a way, if handled well as I'm sure it will be, it might bring some closure to those who have experienced abuse in their lives.

Your part of the the Six Chix blog is my favorite (*ahem* at the moment), Margaret. And I just love your identifying cartoon at that site: http://thesixchix.com/images/skeleton/sample-margaret.jpg I apologize to the readers for the digression. Speaking of blogs and good reads…

And somehow she is managing to keep the strip's light, comic tone without making light of the problem itself. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does as she gets further into it.

She will handle the topic with sensitivity. Her characters will lead her to new and exciting places. Between Friends is a strip that should be in everyone's top 5. I think. Sandra is brilliant.
