Ok, it’s not the end of the comic. Sorry. (Left you hanging for half a day, though!) Obviously, I wouldn’t have done this ONE MONTH after starting up my Patreon campaign. Haha. And as anyone who’s unlocked the “Spoilers” privileges at Patreon’s donation level would know this too.
Speaking of that, you still have a chance to donate now because in about three days we’ll have the first Dragon Doctors short story uploaded to all Patreon contributors! Once again, it’s at http://www.patreon.com/Speedball . GO FOR IT! Keep Mori alive!
Well, considering that it would’ve been a poor choice to kill the main cast without any real build up, yeah, I think most of us could tell (and most of us expect more than that out of you).
‘Reality makes less sense than fiction’… eh, depends on your view. Your average movie, book, or other work of fiction has a nice start, middle, and end. It makes sense. Real life doesn’t always work that way, and even when it does is typically too complex for you to follow the thread.
However, how much sense is the typical dream, or the average bit of imagination from a 5 year old’s play time?
I’m not sure about the “average” books. Even lot of successful books don’t make sense or have lot of plot holes. It needs good writer to make story which makes more sense than reality, and even most of them need to work hard on that, making several versions between they get it right. Of course, we don’t ever SEE those failed attempts.
(Scene – living room with small table with Christmas table cloth and small lounge chair with newspaper. Mom is fussing with the table cloth.)
Mom – Oh just put them here on the table. Thank you so much for going to get them for me. I am just not sure where all the time is going!
Susan – That’s ok, I love to go shopping a day or two before Christmas. ( jokingly) It isn’t too terrible having to park over a mile away from the store! (looks at mom who is looking inside the sack of groceries) And walk uphill both ways! (again no response from mom) It was the blizzard part that got to me…..
Susan - I am sure they will show up, snookered! I do not know why you and dad waste your time every year inviting Aunt Mary and Uncle Bob. They come over and eat, open presents and then leave before we even have birthday cake for Jesus or go to church. And do you know that last year I caught Uncle Bob trying to spike the eggnog!
Dad - I mean “before Christmas”. Sorry, I just get so used to saying that at work that it is hard to flip back.
Mom – I know, Jack, but we decided we were going to take a stand. We were going to say Merry Christmas, and not Happy Holidays.
Dad - (all smiles- gives wife a big hug) You’re right, just like always, and that is why I love you so much. (moves in like going to give a kiss)
Mom – (patting down her clothes and hair) And I still have a lot of things to get ready before they get here. (Mom exits with groceries)
(Dad sits down, gets newspaper and starts to read it. Susan walks around room idly, then sits on arm of lounge chair.)
Susan – So, Dad, I was just asking mom why we waste our time every year inviting Aunt Mary and Uncle Bob over. They really don’t care about the true meaning of Christmas. All they care about are the presents and the food!
Dad – (slowly folding up his paper) Susan, I think we need to look at the situation a little deeper than just food and presents.
Susan – I don’t know what you are talking about. That is all I see. They come, they eat, they open presents and they scram. Sometimes they try to spike the eggnog. Sometimes they come trashed. Why do we waste our time with them at this time of year? Aren’t we supposed to surround ourselves with other people who believe what we believe?
Dad - You know what I mean. As through his teachings and ministry. When you see your Aunt Mary and Uncle Bob all you see are the unsaved, sometimes uncouth family members that you have put up with for about 18 years now.
Dad - But what if we look at them through Jesus’ eyes, as those to be saved. Those that we should share our lives with and show our salvation to. Sometimes we need to do more to show people Jesus’ love and compassion than just talk or preach to them.
Susan – Ok, but this has been going on for how many years? Why do we keep trying? Shouldn’t someone else give it a shot?
Dad – I love your grandma and grandpa, but they have washed their hands of your aunt and uncle. They have been hurt too many times by them over the years.
(Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary come over and start fussing over Susan, hugging on her, etc. She looks uncomfortable)
Aunt Mary – No honey (smiling sadly) the whole … Jesus was born to die for our sins so we could be with God in heaven.
Aunt Mary – Oh Susan, do you think your Uncle Bob and I are totally daft? We have been listening to your mom and dad for years now. We had to pick up on something!
Uncle Bob – (walking over) Yep, we started going to church a couple of months ago. We met this couple at the local campground one evening and they invited us to their church. It seemed kind of strange at first but then all that stuff you guys (pointing at mom and dad) have been talking about started to really click!
Bob – Yeah, we kept thinking about telling you, but we were afraid that you would be upset we were not at your church.
Dad – We all play an important role, some of us prepare the ground, some plant the seed and some get to harvest.
