A short tale in storybook vintage style, trying to capture the dot-printed, off-register look of old comics

Yesterday one of my all-time favorite musicians, Glen Campbell, died. I'm not a big country guy, but his earnest, heartfelt style connected very deeply with me when I first heard "Wichita Lineman" years ago, and seeing him live was one of my favorite concert experiences. If you haven't heard him, check out "Wichita Lineman" or "Country Boy" (or, if you're okay with 90s production vibes, "The Boy In Me"). His death hit me pretty hard, but I'm so thankful his battle with Alzheimer's is over and that he was a man whose hope was in going to be with Jesus, free of pain and sorrow.
