Situating Absolute Friends in the Canon, Part 1: Bridging the Gap Between Eras

Hi all, sorry I haven't been around as much. I got involved in a new hobby (doll customization! At some point I'll post pictures of my Victor(ia) Frankenstein and her monster) and then I was traveling.

I'm currently in Wales visiting my girlfriend, and I keep fingering her copy of Absolute Friends. I made fun of it with her for a while because it's plastered all over with absolutely glowing reviews from various sources and, well, look. Let's be frank. I've read Absolute Friends three times. I love the shit out of it. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, "good."
