Another one done! Aaaand we’re getting close to the finish line on this story – right in time for the almost one year anniversery of the comic. Auspicious days, indeed. Well, sort of. Getting this comic done was a small miracle of my own bullheadedness, after the week I’ve had. Missing MeCAF because of the car, repairs on said car sucking up more income than we would like, and then our silly little bastard of a cat, Ole, finally passed away on Tuesday night.
But, shit happens. It’s been a quintessentially mixed bag this whole month. Some bad stuff happened, but I also finished my thesis, got to meet and have multiple conversations with one of my heroes, and I graduated from cartooning college – acquiring my first college degree.
Life goes on and what you love changes and fades and gets replaced over and over again.

(This was Ole. He was a ridiculously photogenic cat, so I’ve gotta dump a few photos of him on this post for remembrance.)
comic: “RUN RUN RUN!!!!!!”
life: what a month for sure. A big huge roller coaster ride.
Ole is so cute in those pictures..I can hear him meowing…boy is he gonna be missed…sad.
I’m sorry for your loss! I’ll give mine an extra scritch on his behalf. Your from the school in Vermont, right? Lots of good stuff coming from the students there! Congrats on graduating!
“you’re” — Good lord. Don’t tell my students I did that!
