This one . . . just really got me bawling. It’s so beautiful. ❤(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ Thank you, Georgia. Sophie has missed Tommy so much, she’s even taken up some of his habits, so his Woman says. Imitation, while it is the sincerest form of flattery, is also the sincerest form of saying how much you love that person (or cat) and miss them dearly.
I have never really cried at a comic strip before, but I’m crying helplessly at this one, remembering all my loved ones, human and furry, who have passed. I will try to make myself a small Tommybaum this Christmas, if I can find the materials.
Excellent. I was hoping this would be the final tribute, Tommy’s indifferent roommate finally realizing the sweet and caring cat he is. It’s just so beautiful.
It is too early to start with the whole Christmas Season thing. You never wear white after Labor Day and you never start with Christmas before Labor Day.

An Encore Presentation: Atlantic Starr’s Masterpiece
A simple orange traffic cone
Makes it seem so bright
A simple string of Christmas lights
Sets the night alight!
It seems so real, so natural this miracle unknown
How can this wonder be? The joy I see!
…….
Even distant roommates
More precious than all gems,
They can sometimes share the love
And show that they are friends!
So simple and so joyous, that we can know!
And now it’s time to say, that night or day
…….
This is a masterpiece, it’s true
A work of art brand new
Brimming with such joy and love!
Ooh!
This is a masterpiece, it’s true
A work of art brand new!
And it’s a treasure!
…….
Like a real life evergreen, the baum just bursts with light
Unable to contain myself, my joy, it just takes flight!
To share with so many friends, or maybe just with two!
And now I thank you, friends, let this love never end!
…….
The differences there between us, we all can put aside
Let’s watch the joy of Christmas
A miracle of light!
Captured in found objects,
So lovely, beautiful
And now I thank you all
Whatever may befall!
…….
This is a masterpiece, it’s true
A work of art brand new
Brimming with such joy and love!
Ooh!
This is a masterpiece, it’s true
A work of art brand new!
And it’s a treasure!
…….
This work of art we’re seeing,
Never let it end
Beauty and joy of friendship,
And we’ll always know that:
…….
This is a masterpiece, it’s true
A work of art brand new
Brimming with such joy and love!
Ooh!
This is a masterpiece, it’s true
A work of art brand new!
And it’s a treasure!
