Ante Lucem

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Standing, proud, naked, against the wind.

Frightened and bare,

A dream of the fields

what does hope look like when everything around you tells you not to hope? Keep building, keep dreaming, keep hoping.

The best present is to be present.

Simple as that. You don't have to spend money. Spend time. It's way more precious than anything you can buy.

Have a good time in these weird times.
