“Farewell”

It’s been a little over two weeks since we found Tucker dead. Poor little guy had something going on inside him that nobody could know about. Can’t say that I’ve ever lost a pet before, I mean we’ve had turtles and birds growing up as a kid, but I never got close to them. They were kind of like a toy that you mostly just looked at and admired. Same with fish. Though, I’m pretty sure Gin and Tonic died due to neglect. But a cat…I still can’t read the book that Inna’s old boss loaned me to help me deal. I open the first page and can’t even make it past the first sentence, “The way to Cat Heaven is a field of sweet grass…” *Choke*
I can’t even begin to imagine what it’ll be like if a person…
On the plus side of things, our remaining cat, Aggie, knows that she’s going to get all the attention. In fact, she’s acting a lot differently than when Tucker was around. She sits on laps now of her own free will. Weird. And she’s always meowing for the cuddles, which I’m sure she learned from Tucker.
I miss the guy’s voice. Every time Aggie makes that face I wonder if she’s wondering where her brother is.
About MY ADVENTURES IN COMICS
Since I had no confidence in my drawing skills, I figured I’d take a bunch of photos and organize them into a comic strip. Everything about the comic was inspired by real life. However, it started to get difficult telling a story or writing a joke around photos and it felt like I was doing everything backwards.
So, at the end of 2014, I thought I’d try my hand at writing a joke first, then drawing. Thus, the comic was reborn. Though it seemed simple enough, I wondered if I could keep it up regularly. And now, here we are.
My Adventures in Comics is A COMPLETELY FICTIONAL strip inspired by life, love, family, work, cats & dogs, and music.
Tools: pencil, pens, paper, and Comic Life program.
