Welcome to winter!

I was away from blog-land in November for personal reasons due to my dad getting sick and passing away. Ever so weirdly, cartoons featured at the funeral. During 2014 when I put out a comic every week to raise money for charity, a couple of issues had dad-related themes. One was about a good dress rehearsal we had for this November, when he got whisked off unconscious to hospital in 2014 (but did bounce back giving us 22 more months of much-appreciated borrowed time) the other was a comic in celebration of his carers and the amazing job that they do. I put the issues together so that anyone who wanted to could take a comic away with them as a memento. Two family friends who were there fondly mentioned the comic I did in memory of their dad (who was a wonderful man and fantastic friend to my dad over the years) and how it really captured who he was. Perhaps as a joke, my one friend had this to say: 'the comic is absolutely beautiful - should be put on his gravestone'. I don't see that happening, however it does bring home the power that cartoons have to record and capture a life. And, of course, there are all sorts of interesting life milestones and stories to capture, record and share while we are still alive! If you have one that you would like me to tackle for you, please be in touch. Wishing you a cosy and wonderful holiday season and a great year ahead.
