Anyone know what Dakota was driving in #107. I'm thinking it was a '67 Mustang fastback. Anyways, it shows she has good taste in cars.
Great dialog too, "a date to sit in old Sparky's lap", I am definitely becoming a Dakota North fan. |

Dakota rocks. She is a totally cool character who is written in a very believable way. And I agree, she has some of the best lines.
And that car of hers was so cool it was like its own character. I don't know anything at all about cars (it's almost to the point where I have to describe cars by their color), but it looked like something someone like her should be driving. I guess she traded up from the one she was driving in 106.

It's either a 66 or 67 Mustang Fastback. There was just a little change in them. I'll ask my significant other for certain. He's a parts manager for a Ford dealership and can give me a definitive.
Dakota wasn't the only one with a sweet ride. Looks like Becky has come up in the world with a more modern wheelchair, too. You rock, Michael Lark!

Given her great lines, hardboiled nature [she sure knows how to put Matt in his place] and trenchcoat, she's the female equivalent to Philip Marlowe. Plus, like the great gumshoes of American crime stories, we seem to primarily see her placed in hardboiled locations, such as in prison, police stations, cheap diners and driving in windswept rainy nights - and often having people trailing her or arranging secret meetings with informants. Heck, I've just compared Brubaker & Lark to Raymond Chandler. That's about as good as it gets.
It's not just the lines, though, its also the way she's drawn. It's her physicality. I can look at her face and examine the way she postures to get a pretty good handle of her without having to read the word balloons.
I've love to get inside her character (as well as inside that trenchcoat). I hope Lark devotes an issue, if not an entire arc, with her as the focus. Is she always this tough, sharp and focused? What kind of men (or women) attract her? Has she been married? Does she harbour some kind of perverse secret about herself or a family member? And so on...
