DRAW COMIC IN CASE OF EXISTENTIAL EMERGENCY
       
       I made this card for my Dad. It's about the size of a credit
       card. He can slip it into his wallet and take it out anytime
       he needs a tiny hug.

       A card or a comic?
       ------------------------------------------------------------
       This isn't a comic in the typical way I've made them. I'm
       off to new frontiers, it seems! I was inspired to try this
       style of craft by a pen-pal. He sent me a beautiful
       valentine's day card built out of paper and glue and drawn
       with coloring pencils. I recieved it as a flat card and
       followed instructions to unfold it into a three-dimensional
       scene. Two panels of garden imagery containing flowers,
       butterflies, and a calm blue sky sit on either side of a
       pop-out cupcake with pink frosting and a sparkled
       cherry. Set in relief behind the delicious dessert are red
       hearts and SweetTarts, which ascend towards my name. I'm a
       lucky lass to have such a nice valentine!
       
       Incidentally, I've gotten other paper-made sculptural things
       before. Many years ago a dear friend made a tiny finch out
       of paper, wire, watercolors, thread, and beads. The creature
       has feathers that can be ruffled, feet whose digits can be
       made to grip branches, and a little darling beak that. It is
       a incredible piece of art, so delicate and precious. He sits
       on the branch of one of my plants, making little paper
       chirps throughout the day.
