Ah yes, all those wonderful moments with the father that were never shown or hinted at in any way. Sure makes you think how emotional the send off could have been if those had been part of the story and not an after-thought. I'm looking forward to the mother's funeral where we learn he actually had a mother and we get one panel of their relationship, making her death so heart-breaking. Like the last page shows, all the best moments in the story happen off-screen.
