original_post:_1/20/2006____________________________ This is a great moment for Forrest, and also a little nod to the readers, that I know how silly all of these stories are sometimes. It’s purely for entertainment value, and it’s very overblown situations. But it’s also a comic, and I never lose sight of that. But to have a real, grounded character like Forrest call Alli out on the whole scheme makes her rethink her ideas.
