Aw, thank you, this makes my day! He was a great friend and a great guy, and actually I WAS imagining Girls Who Keep Goldfish when I first thought of the idea – it all just kind of fell into place.
Oops, and for the record, that’s a dodgeballish thing in her hands (though I do like the idea of an enormous, inexplicable ball of yarn), and HabaneroBuck is correct in the cartoon explanation.
Hey, looks like I picked an interesting moment to check out my own work online for the first time (yeah, I’m a Luddite). Thanks for the kind words, and no worries about the negative ones. Goes with the territory when your work is public. In hindsight, I don’t like everything I come up with, either, and sometimes the ones I’m not crazy about get the most positive reaction. Humor’s a crapshoot. Appreciate the messages and feedback, though, it’s helpful.

That was also my cartoon – I just wanted it recolored to look better
