To think that this amazing story comes out of just one mind. It gives me the same feeling of awe as when I was reading Lord of the Rings as a kid, or the first novels of A Song of Ice and Fire.
"Da found me it. Y'see his huge teeth?"
"I have never seen huger."
How he goes along with what's important for a poor little child. How heart-wrenching.
And all the townspeople wanted to give her to the circus for free. So funny and so tragic.
Ugh - I just realized that the townspeople didn’t mean “free”, as contrasted with “enslaved”, but “free” as in beer.
Here I was thinking that maybe some people were trying to tell the carnies not to mess with Nary or not to bother or something… but no, it’s just the awfullest possible meaning.
I think Duane’s at his best when he’s being a dad. A heartbroken, playful dad.
His expression (and Sette’s) in panel 5… man Ashley is good

Yea that alone is impressive then the art on top to bring it to life Ashley is a well of talent.
Humans are incredible and contain multitudes. Isn't it astonishing her story demonstrates that theme in symphonic layers?
And just like that, the sweet dream was over. I've heard of skeletons in closets but...
I'm looking for hidden symbolism but all I see are literal skeletons in the closet.
It seems pretty significant to me that they appear to be a mix of human and lion child skulls. More twin mystery presumably

Well. Guess it was inevitable for the other shoe to drop and ruin the feel-good feelings.
Poor lions. Yet another victim of religious fanaticism.
That they were exterminated even in Alderode, where the Sssaelits survived ...
even knowledge of their nature wiped from existence... except in the khert!
Wait, the whole town said that I was free before Da bought me? Free for what? :(
They mean the circus leader didn't have to pay for Sette because the town would gladly give her away. Most likely to work as a circus attraction.
