Heart of the City by Steenz for December 02, 2018

Even I have my childhood Christmas stockings.

Everything shrinks with age.

“Umm, your not bigger; they’re smaller.”

It must’ve shrunk in the doing the laundry, Heart.

Everything appears smaller as we grow from being a small child because our eyes grow wider apart as the skull grows.

No, WE physically grow larger, while the objects we are looking at (and complaining about being smaller) don’t change in size. And, a child’s wildly creative brain, combined with First Time Ever events, makes things seem bigger than they are. Which is the memory that is stored in the brain. Ergo; why is this so small?

Try going back to your elementary school. They are very small nowadays. :)

Who gives a three year old a hammer?

Maybe one of the reasons that Heart’s mom is a single parent.

I remember the old tutu skirt.

I remember when Christmas trees were much, much taller. I mean they used to go almost to the ceiling…. oh. yeah.

Very cute strip today.

I still have a pair of leather gloves that were the last Christmas present my grandmother sent me. I was six when she passed — can’t believe how tiny my hands were then!

I think it would’ve been a nice touch if there had been one panel of Heart with the tutu drawn in the older style (1998-2003ish) and one without the tutu drawn in the more contemporary style (as in earlier in 2018) before getting to her current model.
