Babs and Alfred: Tea and Sympathy. And Crime-Solving

[mysteryfan.insanejournal.com]

Reading Gotham Knights #12 and came across this nice moment between Alfred and Babs. I really liked this story. There's kind of--quite a bit of her processing her shooting, and I think it's well done here.

(From Gotham Knights #12 by Jen Van Meter, Coy Turnbull and John Lowe. 2001.)

Context: Babs is having a hard time, trying to solve a case involving wheelchair victims. She's tried all of her usual coping mechanisms: exercise, work, etc. and nothing's helped. So she makes a fairly complicated trip...





I love that Alfred found her a BW handkerchief.




Check out the photos changing...

She figures out the guy's motive, so she sets him up to go after her. She sues her father and Bruce Wayne. For her shooting.



It works and the guy comes after her.


She solves the case and takes down the criminal.

You want to have some space for the peel to drop, or you won't be able to aim it into the bowl at all. Besides, maybe Alfred has more important things on his mind at the moment than having to break out the broom.
