Law and Knight: Part 1
Sep 13, 2016
So, this issue came with a bit of a debate on one of the lines. Sometimes, we- as writers, artists and an overall team- fight or argue over lines, colors, designs, what to eat for dinner, what color pens we will have, who’s laundry is going to get done, and the list goes on. To be honest, we have a great team and I am one of the luckiest people alive to be able to do something I love with my friends. It’s been so much fun watching us all improve and create new worlds that, even when I’m sick or exhausted or whatever, I still enjoy this journey we are all on.
Alright, let’s get deep for a moment. This past Sunday marked the 15th anniversary of September 11, 2001. I remember sitting in the tech ed room watching the attack unfold on the television with the rest of my classmates and feeling as if childhood as I knew it, was over. I was 15, getting ready to check out colleges, holding down a couple part-time jobs, and generally growing up as most kids do, but things seemed different as soon as that tv turned on and I witnessed the second plane hit. Reality was changed and I needed to also.
Childhood was a time in my life when having imaginary friends and playing outside from dawn until dusk and building forts and going on adventures was not only acceptable, but expected. Now, if I were to leave the house and not answer my phone all day and come home with three unknown persons my age, that would be weird and I’m pretty sure my husband would have some serious questions. But back when I was 9 or 10, that was a weekly occurrence, except my mother or grandmother were the ones with questions and usually it was “what do you want to drink with dinner?” Childhood is fleeting, but the friendships that are forged during this magical time in your life are everlasting.
Thank you, as always, for reading. This is a labor of love for us and I honestly enjoy hearing about others getting enjoyment out of our comics. We love hearing from you!

I was not one of those children who went off and returned with human friends but I do agree with what you're saying about the innocent connections formed with our environment as children. Honestly... I still do that. Less since I've had kids of my own (they worry) but sometimes I just need time to myself and I take a walk and just keep walking. It keeps me relatively sane, I feel.

A fantastical journey in the life of children growing up outside reality, and in the realm of imagination.
