Reactions and Reviews

Four out of five stars. A story of Sam's future after he's returned home from leaping (written pre-The Leap Back), a sequel of sorts to "Second Circle" in Oh Boy #1. Sam's taking time off to relax and recover ... and get another PhD, in literature this time. His advisor is Dr. Amanda Hunter, professor of English lit. with a secret fiction writing career on the side. Sam finally decides to ask Amanda out when he sees that the drama department is doing Man of La Mancha. At a party for Tom, Sam and Al get to meet Herbert "Magic" Williams, who thinks Al looks familiar from somewhere. Lots of good character interaction, Al and Tom both tease Sam into pursuing Amanda, but the relationship hits a snag when Sam learns more than he wants to know about one of Amanda's past relationships. Romantic story, the characters stay in character, well written dialog, overall a very enjoyable zine, though it no longer fits the series continuity. [1]
