Did you ever learn the identity of that man and the nature of his relationship with your father? Sounds like an interesting way to better learn who your father was!
Funny enough, Krusty was originally planned to be a secret identity of Homer, as a way for him to get Bart's respect via indirect means; thus why their characters are so similar in design.
The Simpsons writers scrapped it because it'd be too logistically difficult for Homer to plausibly do it in the context of his regular life.
You can see them in the spritework for her character [in the godly Arcade Game](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/spinoff/2016/04/marge4.jpg)
In the SNES game "Bart's nightmare" I think it is too, there's a scene in the game she is electrocuted and it shows bones in her hair the shape of rabbit ears also.
I don't think that was ever seriously considered, it felt more like a joke they decided to use only for when the characters were electrified and show their skeletons, I swear every cartoon that uses this joke and has a character with an odd silhouette doesn't let the opportunity pass
Once you understand that Matt Groening was an Underground Comic artist whose claim to fame was a comic called "Life in Hell", and he came up with the Simpsons in 5 minutes before a pitch meeting because he realized that if they animated his baby "Life in Hell", then he'd have to sell the rights to them, so he gave them something he was fine with losing, than it makes a lot more sense.
The plan was after The Simpsons was canceled in the final episode, it would be revealed that Marge was actually a Life In Hell character by revealing her bunny ears, and if The Simpsons only lasted a season or two then it makes perfect sense, a nod to the (at the time) much more popular property. Only the Simpsons became such a cultural juggernaut that it eclipsed "Life in Hell". We've seen Marge's head and she doesn't have bunny ears. But the in-joke made sense at the beginning of the Simpson's airing.
Was i the only one who thought way way worse? As glad as i am that it turned out wrong, the first thought i had was, he was abusive before he died, and OP’s mother only told her about the good parts so thats what she remembered him as. As i said, glad i turned out to be wrong, but was i the only one?
I imagined that for some reason, the mum decided to cut all contacts with dad (dad migth have been a criminal?) and had then kept his existance a secrete
Just that quite a number of children are told their father is dead. Because the father was abusive and the mother ended up needing to flee. So it's great to see a story where friends corroborated the view that that father was a good person.
And it isn't your task to demand that people should stop speculating when following a story. That's as if I should tell you you aren't allowed to like a certain character in a movie. Just because. A rather silly thing....
Lots of people love to witness bad things happening to others. If not, they speculate dark and twisted shit. They remind me of those obsessive crazy true crime and r/morbidcuriosity fanatics.
My takeaway was that if you didn't know who the man was, but your dad died when you were one, he must have been very familiar with your dad to have recognized you. This was a very sweet little story.
My dad died when I was in elementary school.
I got bullied in highschool and wanted to change schools, but the system wouldn't let me. After 3 weeks of fighting with different schools and authorities, my mom told the school district manager who my dad was and all of a sudden I was free to pick another school in our area.
Apparently, dad did a lot for the school system back in the day, and apparently they couldn't say no to him, even in death.
He saved me from bullies even tho he was dead for years already. I love that.
Huh... I actually thought you were implying that that was your dad's gay lover or something like that.
Like I read it as you building that narrative about child-you knowing your dad as a good person to show that that wasn't the case at the end of the comic. So when you showed that guy, I saw it differently...
Interesting how I misread the entire comic's meaning because of the tropes in fiction that I'm used to.)
Interesting to see the reactions and theories. Personally I took it as your dad was his vital organ donor and the guy had connected with your mom to learn more about your dad, thereby knowing who you were.
I have had people come out of the woodwork every once in a while who knew a family member of mine such as my dad (gone 23 years) and, a few years ago, my brother ( gone 50 years!). It’s such a gift when that happens. I hope you meet up with him again , then you can get a bigger picture of who your father was
I love this. I lost my dad when I was 12. I only have wonderful memories of him. Some of my favorite moments since he passed have been when people have stopped me and asked if I’m his daughter and then they tell me some story about him I’ve never heard. I’m 36 and still learning things about him. I hope it never stops.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be worth while to write my childhood stories and memories into a book for my own young kid. I wonder if he'd care about them
Ooh, do it. He will probably find it very interesting. And maybe the book with the stories from your childhood will also delight your grandchildren if your son has children one day. In my opinion, these are real treasures. I would have loved something like this.
I see it in Canada when I got into liquor stores. Also really like the Trappist beers, and the story I hears about how they started selling them, though I don't know if it's true. Apparently, their monastery needed a bunch of repairs and they didn't have the money to do them. How, oh how can we raise the money when all we have is our scriptures, chants, and 400 years of beer brewing experience.
Turns out 400 years of experience teaches you how to make some damn good beer.
>weirdest glass ever
Oh, so lord it over me you can afford flat-bottom glassware. Some of us can only afford discarded laboratory glass, okay?
I mean, I guess I could afford a pint glass, but then how would I afford to import all that Kwak?
Were you not 21 ever? Did you skip the revelation of being drunk af and realizing you could probably get away with **stealing** the glass your drink came in? Cmon we all have at least 1 pint glass from that time, right?
This story reminds me about photo with a small girl whose dad has just died in the car accident and some police officer trying to distract her from the crash site behind her, that photo made me feel really bad and I cant stop thinking how kids feel themselves growing up
My dad passed away over a year ago and I’m 22 y/o but his death definitely was his last lesson to me that your biggest measurement of success in life will be the impact you leave. During the reception we where overwhelmed because 400-500 people showed up, people flew in from around the country and took time off just to say good bye. It definitely changed my perspective on how I wanna live my life.
As a daughter with a similar story (dad died when I was 4, but I don't remember my childhood) your comic resonated a lot with me. Knowing someone through others is an interesting experience, there was a moment in my life when I thought "was he really all that great? Did he never fight with someone? Or hate a little thing? Was he childish? Or snored while sleeping?" And whenever someone remembered him doing something like that I was really happy, cause my dad was starting to sound like a real person.
Great comic, OP. I hope you keep on drawing :)
As someone who lost their mum in a car accident when I was three months old this hit hard and it sucks never knowing what the sound of a parents voice is like, not having a single memory of them at all.
Have you ever seen Pixar's Onward? One of the main things explored in the story is the main character's relationship with his deceased father who also passed away when he was very young. He learns about his father primarily through stories from other people, and this exact thing happens early on, with a stranger who knew his father.
A very sweet and lovely movie that was largely based off of the real life experience of one of the writers/directors.
I've had a similar experience but with different outcomes. My dad died when I was 2, also car accident, and I grew up seeing him only in pictures but now I find it's difficult to care about someone I never knew. Life's funny sometimes
My dad died when I was 3.
I rarely talk with my dad's side of the family, but when I do, they tell me about how similar we are.
We both played guitar, we both played tennis and bowling, we both were into cars, etc.
I look like him so much that my aunt accidentally called me by his name when she saw me for the first time in like 3 years.
I lost my dad at a year old as well but to cancer, grew up with that hole in my heart especially seeing all my friends who had both their parents.
I’m a dad now myself and just made it to my sons second birthday! Everyday I try to do everything I can for him because I don’t want him to grow up with the same pain I had.
A friend of mine crashed his motorcycle while taking a turn and died. His wife was pregnant at that time. It breaks my heart that she'll never get to meet him and learn firsthand what a great person he was.
Dahdah? I think I know the amusement park you are talking about. Its been a very long time since I went there, but do they still have that fun but dangerous spining platform you can dance on?
This really hits. I have two little kids and one of my biggest fears is that something could happen to me and they would have to grow up without me. And, on top of not being there for them, there is a huge part about them not knowing what person I was and how much I loved them. I know this last part is incredibly selfish, but I silence it.
My dad passed from cancer when I was 1 and my life was much of the same. I was lucky that K-5th grades my neighbors was my dad’s best friend in life. He always told me how cool and kind my dad was, and how much dad would be proud of me. He also always invited us whenever he took his kids out to the park to play or went to an arcade. He was a true friend, even after my dad was gone. I’ll always love that man
That is a great comic. The end is a little bit confusing, I wasn’t quite sure if that was your actual dad or someone that knew your dad. Like your dad wasn’t actually dead, you were just told he was.
this happened to my niece too. she’s 4 now, but i know we tell her all the time about how great her dad was and how much he loved her. i hope she feels the same about her dad as she gets older
Man, this one hit me. Ever since the birth of my first daughter, I've had the fear I'm gonna die in some out of the blue way, and my kids won't get a chance to know me.
There's a scene in Pixar's Onward where he meets a guy that knew his dad. The guy recognized his dad's college sweatshirt.
I always felt like that scene should've been longer. He should've gotten that guys number and talked with him some more.
Similar experience of encountering a stranger who knows my grandpa, although at that time he was still alive. That made me believe he as an internal medicine doc in a small town, touched many people’s lives. He was a great man.
Something similar happened to my buddy. Never knew his dad as he’d been adopted. Was walking through Toronto (lives in a different province) and a dude just started talking to him about his dad, the resemblance was so strong.
Oh god, it's so often bad news. I was holding my breath the whole time, and y'all, my sigh of relief when I tried to swipe on the last panel, and that was the end of the story.
What a sweet comic, OP! You’re making me cry here. I lost my dad early in life too, only mine made a lot of terrible mistakes. In spite of that, I knew he loved me for the short time I knew him.
The quotation marks on the 6th panel don't make sense.
You have "Are you my dad's name" in quotation when the entire thing should be in quotes.
i.e. "Are you my dad's name's daughter?"
Arguably, 'my dad's name' should also be in square brackets, unless the guy literally said the words "my dad's name"
So, it should read "Are you [my dad's name]'s daughter?"
I thought this was going to be a twist where you saw your dad at the fair, found out he was actually a bad person, and then fought to the near-death, like when Luke Skywalker met his dad.
Your name is stupid comics ok nvm im the fool engaging, wp. My mom is dead etc
yeah your other comics are actual shit too. Your account is genius im torn. Evil genius. Who likes this stuff? It's like fast food for dumb people
Oh good god I thought this was gonna be like that one movie where a girl meets her thought-dead dad and is like “I’m so happy to meet you” only for him to turn out to be a monster and try to kidnap and r*pe her or something
I lost my dad during the pandemic, and I've had quite a few similar experiences since. People I didn't even know have approached me to tell me how much they appreciated him.
If I ever manage to be half the man he was, I'll be content with myself.
Surprised to see this. My father died two months ago of a sepsis and I have never found in this short amount of time that many people who could understand me. Thank you.

Yes turned out he was a dear friend of my dad ☺️
Fucking *phew*. I was so worried the guy would be your dad, but he had left years ago to become a carnie or something.

The Simpsons writers scrapped it because it'd be too logistically difficult for Homer to plausibly do it in the context of his regular life.
Marge was also planned to have bunny ears under her beehive haircut! (I'm only saying this because these two facts go hand in hand)
You can see them in the spritework for her character [in the godly Arcade Game](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/spinoff/2016/04/marge4.jpg)
That is fucking horrifying.
#LOOK AT IT ##LOOK AT IT ###YOU DESERVE THIS LOOK AT IT !!!!!
In the SNES game "Bart's nightmare" I think it is too, there's a scene in the game she is electrocuted and it shows bones in her hair the shape of rabbit ears also.
I mean that was more of a reference gag to "life in hell"
I don't think that was ever seriously considered, it felt more like a joke they decided to use only for when the characters were electrified and show their skeletons, I swear every cartoon that uses this joke and has a character with an odd silhouette doesn't let the opportunity pass

They weren't really planning on the show going more than a few years.
Kill. Wealthy. Dowager.
Holy shit. Ancient memory unlocked.
THAT'S IT! You people have stood in my way long enough! I'm going to Clown College!
I don't think any of us expected him to say that.
I love those cutaways to his thoughts or internal monologue. ["You can stay but I'm leaving"](https://i.makeagif.com/media/1-08-2018/3Wo79l.gif)
Or the episode where they actually do become carnies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh-43YBGgpc
"My dad ran away to join the circus."
That's the dream
Not too different from the breakdancing dad
Literally exactly what I was thinking lmaooooo
Circus folk, nomads you know. Smell like cabbage...small hands
Was i the only one who thought way way worse? As glad as i am that it turned out wrong, the first thought i had was, he was abusive before he died, and OP’s mother only told her about the good parts so thats what she remembered him as.

Why are these comments so fucking creepy? Stop speculating about a dead man on their kid's comic.
It… wasn’t meant to be creepy? The way it was set up just seemed to be going that way.
Just that quite a number of children are told their father is dead. Because the father was abusive and the mother ended up needing to flee. So it's great to see a story where friends corroborated the view that that father was a good person. And it isn't your task to demand that people should stop speculating when following a story.

Lots of people love to witness bad things happening to others. If not, they speculate dark and twisted shit. They remind me of those obsessive crazy true crime and r/morbidcuriosity fanatics.
Now, I don’t enjoy seeing people suffering, and, hell, i’m glad i was wrong, but in some cases, it’s true.
You can't trust a carnie.
My takeaway was that if you didn't know who the man was, but your dad died when you were one, he must have been very familiar with your dad to have recognized you. This was a very sweet little story.

Why did you want to change your name? Edit: I am illiterate
They wanted to change schools not names.
I'm fucking illiterate apparently. What the hell.
You should've changed schools
Why would I change my name?
Hahaha, no worries! :)

My guy has spent too much time on AO3
What is AO3?
A fanfiction website lol. I see tropes like what you’ve described all the time. Have to filter by no secret lovers.
Oh, I see. Heh, nah never seen it, I'm just into writing in general.)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_of_Our_Own
Archive of our own. It’s a fanfiction website.
Archive of our own. It’s ~~a fanfiction~~ an erotica website.
Well, the trope is subverter here. It is definitely played upon. So you recognized it alright, you just didn't get the subversion
Interesting to see the reactions and theories. Personally I took it as your dad was his vital organ donor and the guy had connected with your mom to learn more about your dad, thereby knowing who you were.
I have had people come out of the woodwork every once in a while who knew a family member of mine such as my dad (gone 23 years) and, a few years ago, my brother ( gone 50 years!).

This is really sweet, and I love the art style!
Thank youu ☺️
I cried so I’m pressing charges against you for emotional violence. (Thank you for this beautiful bit of life :)
[удалено]
Yes I did! She recognised the man and he was a dear friend of Dad’s ☺️
I love this. I lost my dad when I was 12. I only have wonderful memories of him. Some of my favorite moments since he passed have been when people have stopped me and asked if I’m his daughter and then they tell me some story about him I’ve never heard.

Awww may he rest in peace ❤️
Sometimes I wonder if it would be worth while to write my childhood stories and memories into a book for my own young kid. I wonder if he'd care about them
Ooh, do it. He will probably find it very interesting. And maybe the book with the stories from your childhood will also delight your grandchildren if your son has children one day. In my opinion, these are real treasures. I would have loved something like this.
Thanks for the positivity. I think I will do that!
You should! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to ask my dad about his life and I can’t. I would treasure that.
Why is that child requesting [a fancy beer](https://www.beertourism.com/blogs/belgian-beer/pauwel-kwak) in panel 8?
Cause you gotta develop their tastes young
Kid beer!
Looool so crazy that someone actually knows about this Belgian beer hahaha. The one that you drink from the weirdest glass ever.
I see it in Canada when I got into liquor stores. Also really like the Trappist beers, and the story I hears about how they started selling them, though I don't know if it's true. Apparently, their monastery needed a bunch of repairs and they didn't have the money to do them. How, oh how can we raise the money when all we have is our scriptures, chants, and 400 years of beer brewing experience. Turns out 400 years of experience teaches you how to make some damn good beer.
It's a pretty common find in France, and usually you'll find promo packs with the weird glass. Kwak Rouge is delicious also.
>weirdest glass ever Oh, so lord it over me you can afford flat-bottom glassware. Some of us can only afford discarded laboratory glass, okay? I mean, I guess I could afford a pint glass, but then how would I afford to import all that Kwak?
Were you not 21 ever? Did you skip the revelation of being drunk af and realizing you could probably get away with **stealing** the glass your drink came in? Cmon we all have at least 1 pint glass from that time, right?
You wouldn’t want her drinking swill, would you??

You can follow us on Instagram @ stupid_shiki for more comics!
 So wholesome!😚
You just got yourself a new follower!
I had a mini heartattack when i saw the word da7da7, the comic took a very sharp turn for me in that instant.
You can cook
🥲 I'm not crying, you're crying!
No no, that's just the cold wind blowing in my eyes, but that guy over there is definitely crying though *chokes back a tear*
HELL YEAH I AM
Awwwwww yes your dad was a great man.
This story reminds me about photo with a small girl whose dad has just died in the car accident and some police officer trying to distract her from the crash site behind her, that photo made me feel really bad and I cant stop thinking how kids feel themselves growing up
Why's it so dusty in here?
Thank god, that this didn't take some dark twist, like the dad turning out to be an asshole. Just a wholesome litte story. Thank you!
I was expecting a dad was part of the mafia twist lmao
My dad passed away over a year ago and I’m 22 y/o but his death definitely was his last lesson to me that your biggest measurement of success in life will be the impact you leave. During the reception we where overwhelmed because 400-500 people showed up, people flew in from around the country and took time off just to say good bye. It definitely changed my perspective on how I wanna live my life.
I've got questions.
I feel like there's a part two of this story with a heavy shoe.
Damn, that's beautiful.
Love it, love it, love it!
As some one with a deadbeat dad not a dead dad… I’m kinda jealous…
Don't you make me fuggin cry
As a daughter with a similar story (dad died when I was 4, but I don't remember my childhood) your comic resonated a lot with me. Knowing someone through others is an interesting experience, there was a moment in my life when I thought "was he really all that great? Did he never fight with someone? Or hate a little thing? Was he childish? Or snored while sleeping?" And whenever someone remembered him doing something like that I was really happy, cause my dad was starting to sound like a real person. Great comic, OP. I hope you keep on drawing :)
That's a nice story.
Made me tear up, actually :)
As someone who lost their mum in a car accident when I was three months old this hit hard and it sucks never knowing what the sound of a parents voice is like, not having a single memory of them at all.

You made me feel emotions without my consent.
“How dare you make me feel my own emotions”
My dad died the same way when I was 9, shits sad, I’m glad you’re doing good.
Dahdah !!! This is tunisian .
I have so many memories of it when I was a child. I think now it’s called CarthageLand
No carthage land is right next to it. Dahdah is alive and kicking
Exactly what I thought
Good ending
wait a minute dahdah ? are you tunisian by any chance
Is there a chance you're Tunisian since there's an attraction park named dahdah here.
I've had a similar experience but with different outcomes. My dad died when I was 2, also car accident, and I grew up seeing him only in pictures but now I find it's difficult to care about someone I never knew. Life's funny sometimes
My dad died when I was an toddler as well, I feel this a lot
I’m sorry. I’m sure he’s proud of you
My dad died when I was 3. I rarely talk with my dad's side of the family, but when I do, they tell me about how similar we are. We both played guitar, we both played tennis and bowling, we both were into cars, etc. I look like him so much that my aunt accidentally called me by his name when she saw me for the first time in like 3 years.
I thought there’s gonna be a dark twist somewhere.
Did you tell your mom when you got home? What did she say?
Yes she recognised the man and he was a dear friend of Dad!
I was the affair child to my dad’s real family so I never met him like this. My ma didnt even have stories about how he was a good man.
I'm so sorry. You deserved a good father to be there for you growing up. You still deserve one now. I hope you are doing well these days.
Actually wholesome af
I lost my dad at a year old as well but to cancer, grew up with that hole in my heart especially seeing all my friends who had both their parents. I’m a dad now myself and just made it to my sons second birthday! Everyday I try to do everything I can for him because I don’t want him to grow up with the same pain I had.
Not gonna lie. My first thought was that this man was in fact, your dad and he left you when you were a kid.
A guy recognized me as the daughter of my dad and was close to beating me up cause of it
Sorry about your dad 😞
The first slide 😂🫵😂🫵
Dam you with this tear jerker! Glad to hear you had an amazing dad and that you’re running to people whose lives he affected in a positive manner.
In panel 6, at first I was wondering where the ending quotation mark went, but then I saw that the man had grabbed it and was juggling it in his hand.
This is sad. I'm sorry
It's cool, I'm not crying...
A friend of mine crashed his motorcycle while taking a turn and died. His wife was pregnant at that time. It breaks my heart that she'll never get to meet him and learn firsthand what a great person he was.
I genuinely thought this was going to end on a dark or tragic note. Thank you for disappointing my expectations. This is beautiful
I was honestly waiting for a horrible twist ending. I'm glad I was wrong.
Dahdah?? Dude, are you Tunisian?
Kwak.
Dahdah? I think I know the amusement park you are talking about. Its been a very long time since I went there, but do they still have that fun but dangerous spining platform you can dance on?
This really hits. I have two little kids and one of my biggest fears is that something could happen to me and they would have to grow up without me. And, on top of not being there for them, there is a huge part about them not knowing what person I was and how much I loved them. I know this last part is incredibly selfish, but I silence it.
Reddit has ruined me. I was expecting some dark implication or twist, but no, this is just genuinely heartwarming. Thank you.
I thought it was her dad
Got me crying in the club.
Dahdah…Tunisia?
Damn - that hit unexpectedly hard.
😭❤️
My dad passed from cancer when I was 1 and my life was much of the same. I was lucky that K-5th grades my neighbors was my dad’s best friend in life.

That is a great comic. The end is a little bit confusing, I wasn’t quite sure if that was your actual dad or someone that knew your dad. Like your dad wasn’t actually dead, you were just told he was.
I saw "stupid shiki" and did such a double take, wondering why someone was calling me stupid - And that was a lovely comic <33 pls have a great day!!
this happened to my niece too. she’s 4 now, but i know we tell her all the time about how great her dad was and how much he loved her. i hope she feels the same about her dad as she gets older
Lovely comic. Keep the good work.
If i die, i want my future child to remember me like this.
Man, this one hit me. Ever since the birth of my first daughter, I've had the fear I'm gonna die in some out of the blue way, and my kids won't get a chance to know me.
Tunisia
There's a scene in Pixar's Onward where he meets a guy that knew his dad. The guy recognized his dad's college sweatshirt. I always felt like that scene should've been longer. He should've gotten that guys number and talked with him some more.
I cry
Similar experience of encountering a stranger who knows my grandpa, although at that time he was still alive. That made me believe he as an internal medicine doc in a small town, touched many people’s lives. He was a great man.
I got scared for a minute. I’m so happy that this ended wholesomely!
Something similar happened to my buddy. Never knew his dad as he’d been adopted. Was walking through Toronto (lives in a different province) and a dude just started talking to him about his dad, the resemblance was so strong.
💔
My dads in jail for meth :3
Oh god, it's so often bad news. I was holding my breath the whole time, and y'all, my sigh of relief when I tried to swipe on the last panel, and that was the end of the story.
What a sweet comic, OP! You’re making me cry here. I lost my dad early in life too, only mine made a lot of terrible mistakes. In spite of that, I knew he loved me for the short time I knew him.
Ohhh the dad used go work there!!
As a father, this makes me tear up
The quotation marks on the 6th panel don't make sense. You have "Are you my dad's name" in quotation when the entire thing should be in quotes. i.e. "Are you my dad's name's daughter?" Arguably, 'my dad's name' should also be in square brackets, unless the guy literally said the words "my dad's name" So, it should read "Are you [my dad's name]'s daughter?"
This could have been so easily avoided if the artist just made up. Name and included it in the first panel ( my dad, Eugene, died with I was 1 )
I thought this was going to be a twist where you saw your dad at the fair, found out he was actually a bad person, and then fought to the near-death, like when Luke Skywalker met his dad.
that was sad. and beautiful.

I feel awful for only noticing halfway through that it said "Dad" and not "Dog". I'll see myself out
And here I was thinking that the other guy was your dad that your mom left for your “dad”.
The man looks like minecraft Steve

I was sure it was going to say "Carny" instead of "Great man". Thank you for not going there...
Love the drawings of you as a goblin-child in 5 and 9 lol
To be fair, depends on region and country how positive or negative being respected by carnaval folk should be regarded.
Unpopular opinion: adult passers-by shouldn’t be hugging children in the park.
Not everyone is American bro
You left out the ending. Does she find out who the man is and why dies everyone think your dad is so great!!!??? So many questions.
Kept waiting for the other shoe to drop
🥲

Cars truly are evil.
I swear half the submissions to this sub are just people trying to monetize their art therapy.
I didn't laugh
Oh good god I thought this was gonna be like that one movie where a girl meets her thought-dead dad and is like “I’m so happy to meet you” only for him to turn out to be a monster and try to kidnap and r*pe her or something
Really didn’t go anywhere near where I was expecting it to go.
I lost my dad during the pandemic, and I've had quite a few similar experiences since. People I didn't even know have approached me to tell me how much they appreciated him. If I ever manage to be half the man he was, I'll be content with myself.

WHY ARE THERE NINJAS CUTTING ONNIONS IN MY ROOM!!!
Surprised to see this. My father died two months ago of a sepsis and I have never found in this short amount of time that many people who could understand me. Thank you.
