Anybody coming to TCAF this weekend? As well as tabling, I'll be speaking on a panel saturday morning, and doing a draw-along in the kid's area that afternoon!
I love how honest he's being here, especially after all of the mystery of their last conversation (even if he did have no control over the things he couldn't say).
I really do hope he let's her talk, let's her tell him he can do for her instead of presuming anything.
Your life sucked donkey balls, Beast, if your garden was the only high point in it. Gardening might be rewarding, but it is also dirty, sweaty work, and you will get insects down your robes and scratches all over your limbs. In any case, I can see the parallel he's making between caring for his garden and for Beauty--especially the "encouraging" part of it--though then he breaks the parallel in that beautiful final panel, which emphasizes the space between them and feels like a quiet, honest admission from him. I love it!
