Mom’s Christmas Story
Or I was thinking of calling it “The Unwanted Toy.”
This is a story Mom recalled to me about a Christmas from her childhood. I don’t know why, but it seemed such a sad story! I felt sorry for Mom, Grandma, and the unwanted stuffed kitty cat… A teeny mistake might go a long way in a kid’s life. Anyway, I just wanted to record this holiday story in comic form. It took me a while, and playing with the paneling and set-up to get this right, I’m still not sure if I got the mood down. Anyway, many thanks to Mom, for telling me the story and giving me the Bulgarian text.
Have a safe and sound holiday everyone! And to my friends and family who have been in pain/stress this past month, take it easy, and I hope you feel better! You know who you are!

This is such a touching story. I’m really liking how Glass Urchin is turning out.

Okay, I’m not sure what you did, but that made me almost cry. I was so sad for her…
Waaaaaaahhhhhhh…
But seriously, nicely done. Very emotional (in a totally good way).
