There was also Casey’s handling of the girl with the eating disorder, and her own reveal of having had one. I think that was a pretty powerful moment for her.

Long ago (Before the Parker girl!Casey reveal) I wrote a long post on why Casey had become my favorite, and you just reminded me of it. She is one of the stronger characters, even if she began her life as an apparent brainless cheerleader, even if she appeared to be Francine’s nemesis. This is an amazing post, and thank you for sharing with us.

Tho having Mary Marvel as a mother would be interesting in a whole SERIES of levels. *lol*

As I lived through the years with the characters, Casey held a special place in my heart. You did a wonderful job of explaining why.

@Sarah Hah, I just read your essay, and yes — That whole ten year thing is just . . . I still can’t quite explain it to myself, to this day.

@Caroline I read, what, a thousand pages of comic this week? Yeesh.

@Kim Reading the end really was great (again). I love the bits right at the end with Tambi and Casey.
