Talking To Dad

March 4th, 2010

The support that’s come in from twitter, facebook, email, and especially all your wonderful comments on yesterday’s blog tribute, have all been quite overwhelming. I know i’m not the first person in the world to lose someone, but your sympathies have meant a huge, huge amount to me. So much so that it all made me a little upset last night (the good kind of upset though).

So in return I wanted to offer this. I don’t often draw serious or autobiographical comics, but last night i wrote this to try and put into pictures what i felt i’d lost. A lifetime of communication, represented by telephones.

If reading this makes only one person pick up the phone and call their dad, just to talk about nothing at all, then its worth it.

again, thank you SO much for all your kind wishes. lets next week go back to talking about silly stuff again.

    I did something similar when my girlfriend passed away. Mostly wrote a bunch of bullshit poetry but I did draw a comic about some of our best times together. I’m so sorry for your loss, Jamie (I know I’m WAY late on this). If I could bring him back for you, I would.
