Le Gasp! The drama! 0O0"

Also, the cat's out of the back and..Walter is taking it somewhat well...

I know that 'but she was always old'-thing may come off as a bit insensitive. But, hear me out! When I was younger I also thought people where born, well, old. I know it's a ridiculous way of thinking. But it was really hard for me to imagine that sweet old Granny Else down the street used to be a wild young child at one point too. apparently by a certain age you understand that people age and change. and it probably does sound silly that someone may think people were always old (or that we can always stay young). But then again...there are plenty of kids online who act like they invented teenage angst...so maybe it's more common than I might think? I dunno. Either way I can imagine that Walter would foster a mindset like this too, in which he kinda expect everyone to be and stay the way he left them...at least to some degree...

Trigger warning! Medical talk! (please skip this paragraph if something like this makes you feel uncomfy)

 Also, feel free to rake me over the coals about a person dying of heart failure. I'm not sure how long it takes for a person to die of that (hence that I didn't specify how long Miss Mechthild's last days went on). But...I'm pretty sure she should've been on a ventilator...which I didn't drew in the prologue :( If this comic ever gets a print version I will probably add that detail, together with an IV etc...I think I kinda jumped the gun on that scene not fully knowing what jack's mom actually died off when I started drawing the comic...on top it's very depressing to research this subject. Reading up on Ghosts and serial killers is one thing. But health related issues...that just awakes the hypochondriac in me and the endless fear of 'what if my pump gives out like...RIGHT NOW!!!!'

scary...

'A cat's prayer won't reach the heavens' or 'Katzengebet himmelt nicht' is an old proverb and...it's kinda tough to find what it actually means. So far I only found one source that claims it means 'no big deal' or 'it doesn't matter'. I guess it's meant in a way of 'god has no time to deal with the whining of a critter/cat'. So maybe it's to be interpret as 'don't cry over small issues', or maybe 'your whining doesn't mean anything to me'? I'm not sure. However, I like the saying itself (because, cats, duh XD). But in this content it adds a bit sadness to Jack and his whole situation and mindset (even though the chance is very high I didn't utilize the proverb correctly....but you get my drift :))

Also, two more parts and the first chapter is complete, yay. Although, Spoiler....I did not enjoy writing the next part and was not looking forward drawing it either. I think it turned out well but...it might nudge Jack a tap down from being a fan favorite. let's see what y'all think :)

Thanks for reading ^^
