I always have to chime in when you talk about Emily. I agree about Teddy; not only is the relationship between him and Emily tacked-on feeling, but it's dull, too. There's the interesting part you mentioned, where he hears her calling him from miles away in that church, and there's the part where he draws a character of somebody who's wronged/offended Emily (was it an editor? a teacher? Someone else?) being tortured by devils with pitchforks. That was a fun detail, too. Otherwise, though... zzzzz. Even the mixed-up love angle with Ilse nearly marrying Teddy didn't make for much excitement.
