PANEL 1: A chibi-style purple cow with a darker patch of color on her back, and a pink utter, floats in space. 
TEXT:
Just look at these udders!
They’re utterly udders!
No matter who sees ‘em
Their heart goes a flutters!

PANEL 2: The same purple cow floating from the other direction.
TEXT:
Folks gather in clutters
to praise these fine utters,
nuthin’ else and no others,
could cause such a stutters!

PANEL 3: The same cow continues to float and be super cute.
TEXT:
Even chefs will go nutters

‘cause it’s udders that make
all the cheese and butters!

TEXT:
So swing b=open shutters!
Yell it out! Do not mutters!
There’s no good rebutters
to these awesome udders!

PANEL 5: A grey cow with same coloring patterns as the above purple cow, but now more realistically, sits at a romantic date, holding a glass of wine.

COW: But enough about me. Tell me about being a woodchuck!

This single panel comic shows GRAMP, an older bald man with a grey mustache, holds SHELDON’s hand - a ten-year-old with large glasses. They walk away from the viewer into a beautiful sunset sky. In lighter line and faded color, and older woman hold GRAMP’s hand, looking over at both of them with a sweet smile. Holding SHELDON’s hand in lighter line and faded color is a young man in glasses, looking at SHELDON, mouth open as if he’s excitedly encouraging his son.

HEADLINE: Grief is just Love that has Nowhere to go

POEM: 
Grif is just love that has nowhere to go.
Where the love is still present…but with none to to bestow.

See, our short lives are troubled, and days can be hard,
but there’s hands who will guide you, and love you, and guard.
And your road is made softer, by their presence, there.
And all loads made lighter, in moments of care.
But when we must part — and we have, do and will —
the love doesn’t cease, it continues on, still.

And when love turns to grief, as the focal point’s gone,
what once was a chorus, a solo-sung song.
But int ime, all that love finds a new hand to hold.
And pays forward the kindness that made it grow bold.

So, while grief is just love that has nowhere to go…
it’s the nature of love to find NEW ways to grow.

TEXT AT BOTTOM: All praise and attribution to Jamie Anderson, whose insight on grief inspired this lil’ poem.

PANEL 1: ARTHUR, a yellow duck peaks up from behind a table at a white bowl full of peaches.
NARRATION: 
The peaches are not ready —
They all are way too hard.
I’ve waited now for seven days
And still I’m on my guard.

PANEL 2: ARTHUR stands over the bowl, impatiently hoping the peaches are ripe.

I guess it’s teaching…patience?
These peaches being slow?
I happily would eat them now,
But they’re not set to go.

NARRATION:
See, healthy snacks are HARDER:
The stars must be aligned.
But packaged snacks are READY.
Fatty Chunklins™ will do fine.
