Or is Mara dreaming that they went to the magical land of Veld and she died and some crazy made-up young Gorgon was there and everybody was sad without her?
It’s that whole “never go home thing”. That was a big enough stab in the gut, but even if she felt that she couldn’t go home, that didn’t necessarily mean that she’d never see her family again.
But no. She died. And got carried off to some special heaven.
That no one in her family is going to end up at.
For all eternity.
Sounds like hell.
As a writer, I’ve felt really bad about the things that happen to a character for the sake of a story, but this just flat out hurts for things to be left this way.
And thus doth Jake learn to his sorrow that four-year-olds have bad dreams and consequently come seeking the nearest adult in locum parentis for comfort.
I must say Jake, you have really gotten good at drawing the facial and emotional expressions in modest, its one of the things that makes a great comic strip.

It’s only 3:44 here. She should have called me instead of bothering Jake.

Jake is getting dragged into the role of being a dad whether he likes it or not, it seems!
Where’s his bruising? Is this another dream?
That would be hilarious if Jake was also dreaming!!!
I had a dream that my sisters will one day live in a nation where they are not eaten by a giant snake.
I had a dream that someday medusas and hydras could hold hands as brothers and sisters.
It can’t be easy to lose such a close friend when you are about four years old.
Did Modest shed a serpent?
That one takes a little longer than the rest to wake up.
She look adorable is this strip 🙂
Ugh, I feel for Modest so hard in this one.
It’s not just that Marah is dead.

Where’s a hero when you need one?

Thanks!
Awes…Medusa is so cute when she cries.
I know, right? I literally can NOT get mad at that face.
Is it common for children to have nightmares about bears… and then cling to a stuffed bear for reassurance?
