Well she was a street kid for about half her life, living rough and eating raw cows for example, maybe she hadn't gotten to the no littering part yet of her reeductation.
Oh, Babs. People in books don't talk like normal people either. Then again, I'm not sure how liable to use the word 'ghastly' Barbara would be.
That last scan is so awesome. It's lovely that as locked outside the inner circle as these two were, such thoughtful interaction could be written between them. It makes me wish Cass and Dick had got more interaction as well, I think Dick would've understood this very well.
I just realized, something: who needs Cassandra when we have Parker (http://leverage-wiki.tnt.tv/page/Parker). They've both a bit nutty, socially awkward, and have special friendships with super-hackers; only in Parker's case, we don't have to deal with the writing staff trying to destroy her for random reasons.
Actually, as I recall, there's a good scene in one of the Giant-Size issues that came out around the time of the X-Men: Deadly Genesis mini, featuring the first Thunderbird. He walks through Wolverine's immensely messy room and comments that, to the untrained eye, it would just be that, but that it is actually beneficial to detecting unwelcome intruders (sounds, displacement of items).
It seems a little weird to me that Cass would keep doing it after seeing Alfred picking up after her, but in this scene, I like it. I think Cass being a slob is a nice contrast to her usually disciplined character.
Humble request: Do you by any chance have the scene/scenes where Bruce adopted Cassandra? I'm very curious to see how it was handled, given it seems to be forgotten everywhere else. If not, do you know where it happened, and I might go off exploring?
It is from the cruise. Babs and Cassandra are "on vacation" on Bruce Wayne's dime (which turns out to be a mission, of course) and ends up being the first appearance of Karl Krummett in the book.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
