Emotional Outbursts

Issue #33

Throughout the black-comedy-romp, Louisa time and time again reflects upon lost loves, pining for what once could have been. Within a litany of flashbacks, we see her lovers laid bare before us.​ To name but a few: shop-front owner Edgar Hopper, tortured artist Larry Flint, millionaire tycoon Rod Anderson and, finally, beloved entertainer Pinky Benson.​ What I find remarkable, reader, is that amidst its humour remains a very real truth - the need to be needed, and what I shall refer to as ‘becoming the other’.
