DRAW COMIC IN CASE OF EXISTENTIAL EMERGENCY
       
       I made this card for my Dad. It's about the size of a credit card. He
       can slip it into his wallet and take it out anytime he needs a tiny
       hug.

       A card or a comic?
       ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
       This isn't a comic in the typical way I've made them. I'm off to new
       frontiers, it seems! I was inspired to try this style of craft by a
       pen-pal. He sent me a beautiful valentine's day card built out of
       paper and glue and drawn with coloring pencils. I recieved it as a
       flat card and followed instructions to unfold it into a
       three-dimensional scene. Two panels of garden imagery containing
       flowers, butterflies, and a calm blue sky sit on either side of a
       pop-out cupcake with pink frosting and a sparkled cherry. Set in
       relief behind the delicious dessert are red hearts and SweetTarts,
       which ascend towards my name. I'm a lucky lass to have such a nice
       valentine!
       
       Incidentally, I've gotten other paper-made sculptural things
       before. Many years ago a dear friend made a tiny finch out of paper,
       wire, watercolors, thread, and beads. The creature has feathers that
       can be ruffled, feet whose digits can be made to grip branches, and a
       little darling beak that. It is a incredible piece of art, so delicate
       and precious. He sits on the branch of one of my plants, making little
       paper chirps throughout the day.
