After much delay, the new season begins today, today being Halloween. How appropriate for a comic about a girl and her evil teddy bear. And it's my birthday, too. Seriously. And I've got brain cancer. Okay, the last one's a lie, but everything else is true. Mostly.
The breakdown (so you can see how things have progressed):
Season 1:
Lucy is given a sweet stuffed teddy bear who promptly calls her mother a whore and convinces her it would be best if they just went ahead and "offed" Unkey Jewwy. They taint a glass of O.J. with rat poison (A.K.A "Yummy Flakes"), but things don't turn our as planned.
Season 2:
Lucy is given a doll with a happy smile and Sunshiny curls. Teddy is not amused. Unkey Jewwy realizes Teddy is a bad influence and decides to get rid of him.
Season 3:
Lucy doesn't get along with her foster parent, "Father" Barry. He's a little too "personal". Teddy wonders if there isn't a better place for the old guy, say . . . 6 feet underground.
Season 4:
Lucy's father reappears and takes her away from her misery. Lucy is so happy, she could burst. Unfortunately, she doesn't stay happy for long. Despite a spat, Teddy and Lucy find a little ingenuity can make things right.
Season 5:
Lucy's father has abandoned her, leaving her in the twisted care of his twisted girlfriend, Brandi (with an i). Brandi has it in her head that she must cure Lucy of her evilness. Meanwhile, Lucy has begun to harbor some resentment against her father, and is expressing these hostile ideas in a terrifyingly funny new way. Maybe she's been around Teddy too long.
Season 6 begins now, 10-31-08.
