ARFFF! #5: The Last Lonely ARFFF
The Last Lonely Saturday, Jordan Crane
An indie mini-comic by a local 'toonist that Lisa gave me for my birthday. A little old guy visits his wife's grave, remembers happier times, writes her a letter about how much he misses her. It made me cry. Seriously. In my defense, it was my birthday, I'd been working mad hours, I finished my dissertation draft, then we had a full day in Salem with L's parents, then there was the great power blackout (don't know why that should've made me emotional—I'm just setting the scene, ok?), and basically by the time we got home I was insanely tired. Still. I bawled like I was at a Bette Midler movie. Powerful stuff.
This is the panel that really started the waterworks. It may not seem like much out of context, but trust me. If you'd read it, you'd be mewling like a Swede too.

So... what are you reading?
