Much like the Valentines' Day strip, this one was written for the current event of Kasatka's birthday. I felt that at this point that I would throw away any idea of trying to follow a series of stories, and just have each strip stand on its own. I was already writing one-shots, but that honestly was not my original intent. Amongst my friends, Kasatka strips are probably the most popular. In the way this was formatted, it's much like "Anything is Possible" in that each panel represents a noticeable elapse in time.
I worked hard on this strip and it bums that it was overlooked by a controversial article that appeared in the same issue. (If you're interested, feel free to google: "Union Weekly Pow Wow.") I'm not a part of the staff at the Union Weekly; as a contributor, I've never been to a meeting and all my transactions have been done via e-mail. For people to call my work "garbage" and question my character over the Union Weekly's facebook page just because I was in the same paper as an offensive article was not a good feeling. Regardless, I thought this was a really good piece. I would guess that most people might not think the comic page is as important as the rest of the paper, but it really means a lot to me!
