Strangers in Paradise #23
This volume collects the first part of the final story arc of Terry Moore's acclaimed independent series, focusing on the emotional aftermath and resolution for the core characters as their intertwined lives reach a pivotal turning point. Published by Free Books as part of the 2008 reprint series, it continues the saga of Francine, Katchoo, and David with Moore's signature blend of drama, romance, and dark humor.
In "null," the lives of those left behind continue to unfold in quiet, poignant ways: Brad, Nikki, and Francine honor Griffin’s final wish by scattering his ashes in the ocean, while Casey and Katchoo share the details of their new arrangement with David, who accepts without hesitation. Tambi turns to experimental treatments in search of answers, and in a moment of quiet transition, Griffin is met in the afterlife by Ma Malai.
In "null," the quiet rhythm of life with Katchoo, David, and Casey is interrupted when Tambi calls with a startling offer: a radical medical procedure that could save David. Meanwhile, Francine and Nikki share a moment that shifts everything, leading Francine to walk away from Brad for good.
In "null," Katchoo and David confront the quiet weight of unmet expectations as David confesses he was never truly "The One" for her—Francine was. Casey steps in with a quiet lunch and a candid talk about the tangled past between Francine, David, and Katchoo. When Francine discovers Freddie has shared private photos of her online, her calm begins to fray.
