"Hicks in a circus." For some reason that made me literally laugh out loud and I just had to make a remark about it.

Loving your story so far. The relationship dynamics are amazing. Kudos.

This fic was everything I hoped it would be and more. Everyone was beautifully in character, and while the incest thing squicks me out a little, I can deal with it in the face of how awesome everything else is. Max's guilt over what he did in 'nam and what Prudence said was handled beautifully.

“I’ve just spent three hours painting a strawberry. How could I not be serious?” - lol

Wow! This is really awesome! You've kept them just the way they were in the movie, and then added even more!

I hope to be able to write like you someday.

Good luck, and I hope you can finish this story ASAP.

Peace. Love. Happiness.

Update soon, pretty please? lol, and don't worry about the long updates. Honestly, how long could they be? The fandom didn't even exist before last October/September, and I know for a fact that I have stories that haven't been updated since before them... not that I'm particularly proud of that or telling you to wait eight or nine months to update... I love it, can't wait for more!

OMG

PLZ UD

PRETTY PLZ! I LOVE THIS STORY!

Your an awesome writer

:D

wow, poor Max. Sweet chapta!

omg when the mom saw them i was like litteraly like, *mouth wide opened* "OMG!" haha wonderful story, I am going to read the 6th chapter now, :D!

Haha I love this story, it's funny and cute! Terrific job!

A true love triangle.

omg, whoa not expecting that one! I love it i think they make a hot couple, lol!

I LOVE this story can't wait to read next chapter! Aswsome job!

For someone who says they aren't good at writing humor, you are certainly very good at writing it.

The thing with Uncle Teddy had me in hysterics for several minutes. He's such a pompous ass, telling Jude he can give him suggestions. The way he handled it was so funny and so in character, it's crazy.

The date with Eleanor was cute. I can't give an analyzed, scientific reason why, but it just made me grin. A lot. D

No critiques. But do I ever need give them to you? XD You just pull the Lucy/Jude/Max dynamic off so well. It's not awkward in any way whatsoever.

Lovely chapter, as always.

i think it was ironic that i just began reading this story again this morning. anyway, i loved this chapter, though, and i keep cracking up everytime they call jude judith. and how you fit lucy in the sky lyrics into jude describing his artwork was ingenious. :D

"Your family are all cracked. Seriously."

Ahaha Uncle Teddy is an idiot, I'm sorry to say, but he is just... wow. XD

I loved this, how you showed their different activities and I suppose it's Jude sort of speaking in-between all this, right?

Wonderful!

I was always told to avoid flashbacks if possible cause they bring the reader out of the immediate story. I think it was a very wise move on your part to make the sections between past and present small. It was good, and very in character. I felt so bad for Max, and I'm glad Jude still loves him! can't wait for more!
