This somehow made me feel a sense of joyous wonder and sadness at the same time

Yes, yes, yes! This feeling of leaving a place - of something that was a good thing, full of memories, and that is somehow over - I don't know, there's this superb feeling with no name (nostalgia? Not exactly??) that Nate just *nails* here.

Right??! This is why I love his work so much. Nate Stevenson elicits emotions through his comics where they legitimately feel like poetry

love!

specific things i love:

-- "ghosts, living and dead"

-- "now, we will be ghosts too"

-- "creating wonderful things"

-- "baptized with tears and spattered paint and spilled drinks"

-- "we were"

-- that last image! and all the rest of them! and the words!

thank you for this beauty and good luck with your new haunt!

holy shit, the textures! the way you visualized the ghosts of memories with the "smudgy" brush lines???? is so cool and it looks exactly how i think it probably feels like!! In general the brushwork in this one is so cool?? i cant describe it for the life of me but well done!!!

I'm in love with the end, the

"but

[big, beautiful, surreal, evocative drawing]

we were."

I think I'm living for poetic rejets like this.

OMG. Big feels.

It's nice to feel a little less weird for literally telling my house goodbye when I moved.

I can never really find the words to talk about your well your poetry complements your art, or how you give life and meaning to such events, both important and mundane.

But know that I love seeing each and every one of them.

You have such a way with words. This comic really touched my heart-I’ve been missing my old house. Thank you so much:)
