This has me suddenly imagining somebody doing a Y-themed Beatles parody song, “Everybody With A Y-Gene Have Died Except For Me And My Monkey.”

This is a funny sentence. The ending is almost up there with, "Eats, shoots, and leaves," for showing what a difference punctuation can make to meaning. I'm a big fan of "Y", by the by. I just read the final issue, and Vaughan does a great job putting a cap on the whole thing. It was low key, yet emotional and satisfying. The bit above about the straight-jacket made me realize, too, how the (terrific) cover on the last issue brings everything around to the first. Great work all around. “It was the twist that this was taking place in the REAL world and would deal with real life issues and not just the obvious sexual tensions that excited me.”

I read the early trades and some issues after that but found it terribly slow moving and only occasionally interesting. I dropped it a couple years ago. Never could get into this.
