Imy the Comic

This one is special to me, because it’s inspired by my own memory. I’m generously donating this one to Imy. When I was around 8 years old I finally saw my first shooting star. I had been searching for so long. It was December 14th, and my dad picked me up from my ballet school’s performance of the Nutcracker. There was a meteor shower that night so we planned that we’d drive to the park near our apartment after the show. We got to the park and the sky was crystal clear and I was pumped for my very first meteor shower. As soon as I opened the car door to get out of the car, a massive fireball streaked across the entire sky just before my eyes. It was huge, and bright and went from one end of the sky to the other. It didn’t go by in a flash. It was like it was making sure I saw it.

So now Imy has that memory too

And, yes, my dad used to call me pumpkin.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! For those who celebrate, of course This is one of my favorite holidays. And it’s extra special for me living over here in Sweden because it’s the best holiday meal I have all year, and it helps me feel a little at home (while making me terribly homesick at the same time )

Anyway, two days ago I was looking for something in my closet and found my rubrik’s snake which I used to LOVE as a kid. Now I have it on my desk. The sad thing is that the middle joint is loose, probably because that’s where I always bent it the most. Oh well. It instantly inspired today’s strip.

Enjoy the long weekend, those of you lucky enough to have it! (not me, of course, le sigh)
