I could envision a future story in K&K that takes a look at Prohibition, only K&K style, maybe using their grandparents and glimpsing the mayhem that happened when the government tried to regulate out the existence of predator hunting. I must admit, the thought of Kell (or her grandmother who naturally will be a dead-ringer for Kell) shown as a flapper amuses me to no end. Whether Kevin (or his grandfather) would be a cop (which would be even more amusing considering the fact Kevin’s dad is a career criminal) or a crook would be up to someone with more imagination than I.

But then, I admit I’m easily amused. ^^

The only thing I can suggest is reading the comic backwards. You’re able to catch on about a lot of the details even from a later period in time, and you can decide if it’s interesting enough to keep reading. Either that, or start around 2000 and see if the storytelling style has improved.

Mind you, I understand what you mean. It took me over a week to read through the archives, partly because I let other things distract me while I was archive-trawling. That said, I think that later in the series with the expansion of the cast (especially with the grandmothers moving in), things get more interesting.

And it also depends on what you find interesting. I’m big on character development and character interaction, which is something the comic gradually does. While there are a couple sweeping story arcs, they often focused on the “humans contaminating a perfect world” note, and I found that aspect less appealing (amusing as normally I love storylines).
