You guys know you can re-tile a roof... right?
pachyderm
there dad was a bit of an ass though...
ListenHereYouLittleShirt
It's a slice of life kind of thing. Doesn't really need a big finale to it, I liked it. It's highly open to interpretation, makes it good.
EverythingWithFries
Great story and the illustration to match. This is what a comic should be.
ImCheckingNames
AND EVERYBODY DIED. THE END.

Expected behind the gif post, left happier than i would have if this had been a behind the gif post.
andtheseashalltell
That...was supremely well written.

Somwhere I read that the wrong train can lead you to the right station...
ActualAnimal
I liked the story but I'm not going to try to look for any symbolism, that takes the fun out of everything
5knotcans
Y'all need a power washer! What a great story.
OhmyBandit
Sun panel ads throughout the whole story.

You know this was a good story because of the way people were crying for closure. Read ' want more' into whatever theyre bitching about lol.
weeshful
good use of color. I like minimally colored works like this
maximumbob54
Cute but blood isn't that difficult to wash off and it sure as hell doesn't dry red.

Life doesn't need to have a point. But a story does.
ravagefox
All our lives a story, etc.
cerulee
Haha, not mine, it's boring as shit.
kanadyjskidrwal
...wow...
Voltair
They should paint the entire roof red.
okthenwellilljustbeoverhere
This makes me think of Emily Carroll's stuff.
GrImmgur
Honestly, even though there was no point to this, it was wonderfully written and illustrated. Loved it.

I have no idea what to make of that, but it was a damn good story
WhatTheDormouseSaid
Leaves me feeling empty and hungry. I LOVE IT!
MyPatronusIsANargle
If you like this kinda story, I highly recommend A Painted House. It's a really good book. has the same feel to it
HankHell2400
....what was the point of this story?
andtheseashalltell
The relationships between sons and fathers.
drewcy
To tell a story
okthenwellilljustbeoverhere
It's just a story. If anything it's about how stuff sticks to ya.
delpharseven
To make you feel something?
Ninjinister
A thing happened. That's all there needs to be.
Gorapora
That death is inevitable, and life is an unending meaningless struggle.
watsisface1
Doesn't always have to be a point. Just a story they wanted to tell
WhatTheDormouseSaid
A story without closure is the story. To me, it's a symbol of how we carry guilt.
LadyWidebottom
Spot on
KawaiiInari
Dang, and I even like how the storyteller never revealed why the geese fell the way they did. Awesome share +1
CalvinandHobbitses
They probably saw the Moonlight in the roof, thought it was a lake and came in too fast. Happens a lot.
KawaiiInari
Huh. I've never heard that before. That's sad. :(
CalvinandHobbitses
They didn't often die, but when I was little we had a roof in a really dry area and they used to wake me up trying to land on the 'lake'.
babbzilla
The geese saved the boys. Heart me out, the geese dying, and dyeing the roof red forced them to scrub it as punishment. 1/?
babbzilla
I got the impression the dad would use a branch for spankings. Now without it the dad didn't have to get angry and beat his kids. 2/?
babbzilla
And the kids get to hate something other than their dad. So there was no resentment towards their dad. 3/?
babbzilla
The geese thanked the boys for the funeral alright. Probably saved their family. 4/4

Hollywood has ruined all of you if you can't just appreciate a story for a story.
Str8Grizleh
Not every story is a good story.
general3035
This was a great story. Loved it.
ZombieDK
It is a story, and well illustrated. But its like listening to an old man recant a tale and then nodding off just before they get to the po-
Bystandr
Their comments are exactly proof of appreciation for the story. It sucked them in.
OrinPlays
hey, I would love to see someone do this as an animated short. doesn't even have to have voices. just sounds and visuals with text overlay.
general3035
Just ordered his book. He answered personally. Nice dude. http://ryanandrews.storenvy.com
noirthesable
I really liked it, but actually thought it was an Emily Caroll comic at first. She does supernatural/horror in a similar watercolor style.
AirshipEngineer
The problem is it's barely a story. it's a retelling of events that without any kind of payoff are unconnected.
LvAllen
I'm guessing you never read Faulkner's As I lay Dying.
danimalsinasalmonsuit
That's called a realistic story son. You don't always get a happy or crazy "epic" ending
MyFavoriteThingtoDoisFlakeOnPlans
>son. Fuck off mate.
YourLordCthulhu
It's prose for the sake of prose, and it's good at what it sets out to do. It's sweet and charming, even if it doesn't build up to anything.
catsandbeerandbeerandcats
Sweet? It's literally about dead things and blood and more death.....
