I understand your brother's being unhelpful, Lem, but that's a bit of a low blow.

Me: Whoa Lem, that's pretty rude! Also Me: Pretty sick burn, tho *Oof Stones meme goes here* More seriously, I actually do feel bad for Lem here. It might be a simplistic summation of things but it feels like Lem wants Big Brother Duane to make things better like he did when they were kids, only Duane can't/won't. So Lem's concluded that as much as he might love him, big bro ain't shit so he's gotta Be The Adult and take care of matters himself.

No one can wound more terribly than family.

Oh man this is so real. Great page, really heartbreaking! It's funny to connect this to chapter 7 where Duane's like "Hey is something bothering you?"

I think the part that's killing me is they're both kind of right? People ARE almost certainly preying on Lem's desperation. Duane DOES tend to retreat into narrative and philosophy. Those boys from The Brothers Adelier are shining through, this scene :(
