My stepdaughter Ellen got married to her Ernestas last Saturday!
I have known Ellen since she was six years old and I have drawn many, many comics about her when she was a child. The longest one was for her ninth birthday, called ‘Riddle of Nine’, which was also a Sandman-tribute (I’ve been a fan of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman since the 1990s):
In total, the comic was 27 pages long and I posted it online in 2004, where it got a bit viral when Neil Gaiman himself linked to it from his blog, calling it “the bee’s knees”! (I had to look that one up; so stoked!)
Still kinda proud of this one.
But not as proud as I am of Ellen and Ernestas, who totally did their own thing on their wedding, in a field in Lithuania, surrounded by friends and loved ones from no less than four countries!
I was honored to officiate and provide some drawings:
Ah, how time flies!
How good it is to see children grow up and find their own way in life!
Ellen totally has stayed the same brave girl I drew her as in the comic, and now she has the perfect companion to tackle the world with. (and the perfect cat!)
Good luck, 'Little Ellen in Wonderland'!
What a lovely story!! It made my day, thank you.
