I dunno…perhaps “softer” isn’t quite the right word for these comics. Some of them are sick and dark, some are thoughtful and sorta sweet. Oh yeah, and then there’s just weird, weird, weird.

Now this one…this one is special. It’s not funny - it’s painful. Yet, I find it oddly beautiful. I think of how much I love the laughter of my own siblings and it makes my insides hurt to read this. Odd to include it, perhaps, in a section devoted to comics, but at the same time, this is the power of comics - images and words intertwined to create an intense emotional experience. They want him - the old him - back.
