Panel 3: The new costume being described by Laurie in
this panel sounds very much like her father, the Comedian’s, costume.
Panels 6-7: This scene is often looked upon harshly – the
problem for some being, how can Sally Jupiter have any affection for a man who
so violently assaulted her when they were young? But one reading of this – and, by extension,
Sally’s overall feelings toward Edward Blake – could be that Sally, despite the
atrocity she experienced at Blake’s hands, values the daughter that came from
such an unexpected coupling.
It is
also worth noting that, in this panel, Sally is still living in the nostalgia
that has carried her this far – an interpretation reinforced by the bottle of
Nostalgia perfume featured in the center of the image on her nightstand.
