I’ve mentioned 9 Chickweed Lane a few times over the years. When I first started reading it, there was a romance firing up between the two main characters, on display for all the world to see during a major cello competition. It was such a compelling story (ok and rather juicy) that if I woke up in the middle of the night, I’d check to see if the newest installment had arrived on my phone yet.
Today, we reached a point in a new story that has been going on since November 25th, 2013. Yes, that’s right, a major story arc that’s been going on for more than a year and without the two main characters. There have been a few little holidays and Sundays away from this plot but mainly it’s been two to four panels of beautiful drawing and clever story and dialogue crafting to push us to…
…today.
Today’s installment seems to me to be the pinnacle of this story although I feel there must be more to bring it all to the conclusion and back to the current day players. There will be sadness and tears, to be sure, along with some discoveries. But today, three panels that are just epic in that it took more than a year to get to this very moment and point and the last panel’s two words.
