CSotD: Now they BOTH know he’s an idiot
Skip to comments
The ongoing tale of Lemont's college crush picks up a little speed today at Candorville. Darrin Bell is a deft-enough storyteller that you know he's not going to make the fatal mistake of ever letting Lemont and Susan get together, and it would be just as bad to let Lemont realize that Susan isn't just his buddy.
Which makes it wonderful fun to watch him steer the strip towards the cliff and turn away, yet again, at the last second. It's like the difference between metal roller coasters, which simply offer lots of speed and g-force, and wooden roller coasters, which are purposely engineered with a degree of rattle and shake, and are often given lousy paint jobs in order to provide the illusion that maybe they just aren't properly maintained and maybe you're going to go off the tracks this time.
Candorville is a wooden roller coaster. Or maybe it really is about to fly apart. But it's a helluvalot better and more fun ride than you'd get on a metal coaster.
