I went to the city with my mom, my sister, her boyfriend and my boyfriend, for my mom’s birthday. Our first stop off the path was ground zero, which I actually have never seen. Soon after we made our way to Strawberry Fields and the Dakota building. It was absolutely heart wrenching, there were people all around putting down flowers and taking pictures, not to mention singing. The man in the comic was explaining to his wife who John Lennon was and he started singing. The whole moment was really quite surreal and I just kept snapping pictures. Unfortunately I don’t have the cord for my camera so those pictures will be on my camera for a while.
It was beautiful. When we left we had to go to the subway entrance which was right by the Dakota building where John lived and was killed. I had to extend my hand and touch the building as we went down. Damn, that man did such great things, I can only imagine what more he could have done if his life wasn’t ripped away.
Great story-lovely ‘toon! Thanks for sharing on International Peace Day!
Not a problem, thank you for looking! :]
Lovely comic, darling. The place had such a quiet, almost eerie vibe to it. I distracted myself from thinking too much by watching a dog that was staring at a tree. Seriously, the dog did not move a muscle for about 5 minutes.
Thank you dear, yes you missed the singing couple, well you have heard them, they were pretty loud. It was hard to not let the whole feeling take advantage of me. That dog really was strange, he looked like a statue!
I’m a George guy myself, but this is just wonderful. you do a marvelous job of capturing the feeling at Strawberry Fields. I also love the lines in the third panel.
Yeah, I really have a hard time picking a favorite Beatle, haha.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it :]
I really like the look of this one Tara – really nice linework and I love how you handled the singing in panel three. Keep it up!
Er, panel two. Apparently I can’t count.
Haha, no worries, that happens to me all the time. Thanks, Kelly!
