Strangers in Paradise #40
In "Lily," Terry Moore delivers another quietly powerful chapter of *Strangers in Paradise*, where David waits in Hawaii with a pounding headache, caught between longing and uncertainty, while Katchoo grapples with a moment of clarity—she’s not the kind of woman who lies with sheep, not even for love. As Francine’s wedding day draws near, her thoughts drift to the fragile dream she’s chasing, and when she calls to ask Katchoo to be her maid of honor, the request hangs in the air like a question without an answer. With every line drawn and letter placed by Moore himself, the emotional weight of choice and connection settles in the quiet spaces between words.
