As for David, his place changes more often than you see. At one point many, many moons ago, David was set to kill a major character (Dad probably doesn't even remember that). Never happened though.

Really? Oh, now I'm curious! Any hints? Don't leave me hangin' here!

Fear not, John; you're not the only one who enjoyed the crime sections of the story... Anyone else to join our merry two person group? And also, for those of you who wished the crime sub plots never happened, why? If you wouldn't mind starting a new thread on the subject, I'd be interested in hearing why there is so much ambivalence towards that plotline...

I'm a BIG David fan, the first issue I ever picked up was 34 and though it was really violent, you saw he had a conscience right then and there. I've always felt he was shotchanging himself by trying to go out with Katchoo all the time, and I've always wondered WHY HE HASN'T COME BACK WITH THE MILK YET!

I could really go for a David arc personally, or a Tambi arc.

I could hear from Tambi or david and be happy. Count me #3 person who loved the crime arc.

I love the crime story arcs. For some odd reason they seem to bring out the best in both Francine and Katchoo. I like seeing Katchoo's soft side, and it tends to have more room to breathe when she's under the dominance of another character (Darcy, Tambi, Mike Walsh. I don't know why that is. Maybe when the pressure of being the backbone is lifted her sarcasm subsides, I don't know.
Francine on the other hand is stronger when she's making an active decision, and a threat to Katchoo's well-being appears to stir that sense of power within her.
I was fairly certain I was going somewhere with that thought, but I must have been mistaken.
Anyway, I'd just like to reiterate that I'm a die-hard David fan. Granted, people are drawn to fiction primarily to be entertained, but I think on a more subtle level we have a need to identify with characters who reflect in their personality something we'd very much like to deem as valuable within ourselves. In fewer words, I for one NEED the character of David. His all-too-brief moments in the spotlight continue to be the reason I have such a personal attachment to Strangers in Paradise. I suspect a high percentage of people who type out varying emotionally driven posts on this message board have a particular character they hold in exceptionally high regards. For me it's David.
Having said that...WHEN THE HELL'S HE GONNA GET HIS STAGE TIME?
While I'm thinking about it, I'm sure this topic has been done before nad I missed it, but I've noticed many SIP fans who express a fondness for David also cite Tambi as a favorite character (myself included). Is there a correlation?

I like the crime stuff. I like David.
I loooooove Tambi!

Not much else I can add on this that hasn't
already been said so I'll leave it simple.

something witty.

I really like the crime elements of the story. I could see why someone wouldn't like them though. I can remember the first time Darcy showed in the "I Dream of You" TPB and sick feeling it gave me. I pretty much thought that a mob story in a book like SIP could never work. But now, I think that the crime stories actually strengthen the relationship aspects of the book. It also has given us much deeper characters.
As far as David goes, I've been a big fan of his since the start. I'd love to see him get an arc of his on someday.

Yea!
I am not alone!
Now we just need to presure Terry into a spin off of Darcy and David's early days.
