Never Worth Fightin' Over

I was scrolling through my variegated pictures folder today looking for an authorial headshot for Seek, the o-fish-l magazine for Brethren in Christ, which I seem to be one of these days. So the next issue will feature a little ditty by me, for the completists among you.

The Point: Whipping through the folder, I discovered a picture I loved so much that I saved it in case the internet breaks. I want to share it.

If ever you browse my links, you'll note one to Scarygoround, a web comic I pretty much adore. Scarygoround is a M-F comic about people in England who live in a town where supernatural and mildly horrific things happen a lot. I love the writing, I love the art, and John Allison draws fetching young women -- always lovely, but never cheesecake.

Here's the setup. The guy in this comic, Ryan, a career slacker, has decided to venture to the land of the dead to visit his deceased ex-girlfriend. He has just arrived.

Normally, an SGR comic ends with a quirky turn of phrase that sets up the next day's offering. This day was different. This day was suddenly, unexpectedly poignant. It makes you want to call someone you love. If I had a refrigerator I would put this on it. I wanted to share it with you, whoever you are.
