The Family Menagerie!


It’s Webcomic Wednesday!

I love webcomics. I love them so much, I make them. I’ve been a fan and follower of several webcomics for the past 8 years, and I’ve been clipping comics out of newspapers even longer than that (pretty sure I still have quite a few clippings from when I was little girl). There’s just nothing quite so relaxing as sitting down in your favorite reading chair and spending hours going through the funnies. Nowadays, the Sunday comics are online, and they’re everyday. Here are a few of my favorites at the moment.

Morgan and Me

Morgan Niels-Jeske
“The Valentine Baby”
January 1, 2008 – February 5, 2010
Adopted into our family February 14, 2008

She no longer has the burden of an old body, but I’m going to miss her so much. Here’s an excerpt from the journal entry I wrote about her on Valentine’s Day of 2008. The best Valentine’s Day ever.

In my hands was a tiny, beautiful baby girl rat. Seriously, all I did was stare at her for the longest time. I couldn’t formulate any thoughts and I hardly dared hope that she was mine, so I kept asking stupid questions like “Where’d she come from?” and “What is she doing here?” I know I kind of made Ash nervous that I didn’t like her, but I was just in shock. And then when it finally started to dawn on me that this little girl was mine, I began to tear up and almost started crying. She’s so beautiful. She’s mostly white with a dark gray hood with a white line like a scar down her face to her nose and a dark gray spot on her back. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.

We love you, Morgan.
