Alas, it was deleted in frustration when I realized it wasn't working with the scene, I don't know if I could recreate it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The babby Frank panel is from Garth Ennis's 2006 one-shot "Punisher: The Tyger" which I highly recommend. It's a great portrait of Frank-as-a-person long before the traumas of his family and the war, who isn't defined by them, but that still lets you see why THIS is the guy, out of everyone who experiences loss and violence, who ended up becoming what he does.
Given you referenced Blake in the story, and give the name of the oneshot, I think I can guess where he went with the story, and if I come across it I'll definitely pick it up.
Out of curiosity, where'd you hear the potato/tomato Catholic thing? My family's all Catholic (French Canadian, but lived in German Catholic territory, so some blend of both, I suppose), and I've never heard that, but it's SO perfect.
What a crazy coincidence! I'm French Canadian/German Catholic on one side, and Italian/Polish on the other, so I've always been pretty amused by the divide too. I actually heard it from a Very Lapsed Irish Catholic professor married to an Italian, iirc - she was actually a religious studies professor and had a great sense of humor about everything.
Just read your other Frank Castle fic. I really like your insight into the character, especially making pseudo redemption fics without completely defanging him.
Thanks! I'm not interested in redemption proper so much as 'letting frank be fucking happy damnit' which tends to involve, you know, some human connections and things to do that aren't killing, but also still SOME murder. Because that's who he is.
