I’m sure you guys are sick of me singing Paul Hornschemeier’s praises, but I’m not! Forlorn Funnies #3 might be better known as the second section of Mother, Come Home. It is a heartbreaking and gut wrenching story of loss. In this issue you really get into the meat of the story and begin to see how the son and the father are dealing with the mother’s death. The mother was the glue holding this family together and without her the family is falling apart. Anyone who has dealt with any sort of loss can relate to the desire to withdraw into a world of your own, a world where you can make everything better. The son begins to have fantasies of bringing his mother back, while the father becomes despondent. One of the most emotional sequences is the father and the son sleeping side by side before the father is sent away. It is so well written and tightly drawn that it will stick with you for weeks after you have read it.
