Furever by Amy Finkel!

My good friend, Amy Finkel, has created a short film to raise funds for a proposed documentary about freeze drying pets. She's set up a Kickstarter campaign (it's already reached its objective but continues to draw interest) and as part of her incentives, she's enlisted the help of her comicker friends to create original art! The film's thoughtful exploration of our love of our furry friends and our relationship with their/our mortality has none of the irreverence and gallows humor of my piece. It's challenging and resonant and worth further development and exposure. I hope you will consider donating to this project either for its amazing array of incentives or simply to do your part in helping to make art come to fruition. To see the film's trailer, learn more about its creator and become a backer, please visit the project's Kickstarter page.

The above drawing is the result. Here's the clip in question. Warning: If you watch this it's almost guaranteed you will lose hours of your day humming or singing the melody.
