In Body 'n' Fender Blues by L.L. Walter gets the best of zine award for writing. This one made me cry. And it's only 4 pages long! I always like Merle -- and I like this treatment of him. A lot. Upcoming Zines. Now what are you laughing at?! [1]
Body 'n' Fender Blues -- Linda, you've done as good a job at tying up my guts. Without more graphic description than the streaks of blood, the missing windshield, and the various forms of dents on the vehicle, you brought back all the awfulness of that shooting. The note to Merle from Hutch was perfect. This short, yet filled with an underlying through" "Fix the love of his life to help fix him." [2]
I could picture Merle hot under the collar - also defensive of the Torino when his friend called her on it. It really sounded like Merle to me. [3]
Short but sweet Body 'n' Fender Blues is my favorite. There is so much emotion in those few pages. Starsky and Hutch aren't even there, yet their presence is felt. All Hutch's grief and love for Starsky is in those five words of the message. Fix the car and Starsky can't help but recover, the silent plea. I've never felt so much in a story that S&H weren't actually in. Where I could stop laughing when reading Work, Work, Work, I couldn't stop crying when reading this one. Loved it![4]
It wasn't too hard to guess what had happened to the Torino in Body and Fender Blues. Somehow something like a blood-spattered, broken, inanimate object like a car can scare you the worst in a situation like that. The whole thing seems so ominous, the ruined car such a silent testimony to horror. [5]
I enjoyed Linda’s 'Body ’n’ Fender Blues’ too; it sneaks up on you.[6]
