For The Last Month Or So, I Have Undertaken One Of The Most Difficult Writing And Illustration Projects

For the last month or so, I have undertaken one of the most difficult writing and illustration projects I've ever attempted. I wrote the piece both about and for my son, who, as many of you know, passed shortly after his birth in November. As difficult as the time spent writing and drawing the piece was, I saw the labor of it as an opportunity to try to recall what happened to us and to recover the details that have begun to fade somewhat into the fragility of memory. As a document it helps me to see better what we went through, but it also grants me a chance, one last one, to speak to him.
That work is now due to appear in the first issue of a quarterly print edition from the cartooning website The Nib, which is being Kickstarted today. If you would like to read the piece, receive a copy, or help to fund the Kickstarter, you can do so here:
