That was excellent. This was and remains my favourite comic on the Escapist, and unlike others that I shall not name I'm sad to see it go. I'll definitively be following your website. Good luck.
This... this is... just...
Hold on a second, let me catch my breath.
Ok. Bumhug Parade has been steadily growing into my favorite Sunday Funny (it had a headstart, of course). I just love the chaos of it all, the way no two strips are even remotely alike, the completely different art styles, the surreal silliness of most of the stories... And then, out of the blue, comes this swan song, this poetic goodbye, so different in tone from the rest of the series and yet so alike in the experimental feel it has all over.
I can only thank you, Ola. I'm gonna miss your comic, especially now that I've seen how broad its universe really is.

Yea I am pretty sure he was trying to parody a touching story. I think this was supposed to be funny...i don't know.
EVERYTHING pales in comparison to Bumhug Parade. Everything even related to this series is phenomenal.
This strip was touching and not what I expected at all, leaving me all the sadder for the fact that it's the last one. Good luck for the future and kudos for such a great run and fantastic send off.Lysgaard said:
Very nice.
Reminds me of the Aborigonal creation myth where greater beings named their creation through song. After they went to sleep the people needed to sing those songs lest the parts they describe will be undone from reality. Thus giving man not ownership of the Earth, but rather the responsibility for it.
That fascinated the heck out of me the first time I heard that (from the Planetary comic btw) and so does this.
The comic could've been more consice perhaps but it is a very potent piece indeed.
