This might be my last round of comic panels for at least a few days.

I'm leaving America with my daughter, possibly forever, in a little under 15 hours, and emigrating to the UK.

I want to post more, especially since it is a bit of time away from anxieties, so if I have time on the plane or train or whatever, you will see more from me!

Good luck with the Bri'ish! The best of all to you and your daughter! Don't forget to visit France when the dust has settled ;-)

Thanks. We actually have to visit France because my daughter will only be there on a tourist visa since my citizenship doesn't transfer to her. So when she gets the family visa (which requires me to have a job above a minimum annual pay), the requirement is that she has to enter the UK with it. This means we're going to the nearest French airport to the Chunnel to meet her mom there and re-enter.

Now as far as visiting on holiday, that may take a while. Now that I am close, though, I am determined to visit Guédelon Castle.

A new 13 century castle, interesting!

There are a bunch of newer finished ones too ;-)

All the best 💖

Good luck with the travels! If I recall right, you've been planning this since shortly after the election results were announced, right?

Anyway, take your time settling in. You and your daughter are more important than internet communities.

Thank for giving us all a fun break from reading about serious issues!

Good luck with the move. One thing I always like about traveling is that it reminds me there are lots of good people to meet.

I wish both of you all the best. Safe travels!

Btw: feel free to DM me, I've got great friends in the UK who would be super eager to help in case you need support. :)

Much appreciated. Others have offered it too. Thanks!

The amount of kindness shown to us both on Lemmy and just around Britain so far has been just amazing.

If only that were true. The WiFi sucks. I paid $10 for it and it's been off for most of the flight.

Hope the move goes well

Thanks for the many chuckles o7

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.
