Our Guest Today Is…

Things have been a little crazy lately, so it’s been tricky finding the time and energy to post anything, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on my comics. 

Here are my three latest, random pages that I have finished in the past couple months. The interesting commonality between them is that they each have a different celebrity guest star - Tarzan, Mary Tyler Moore, and Mr Rogers! 

Enjoy, and thank you for reading! ❤️

 

Humming Along With Gratitude

I received a huge honor recently when I was invited to my first Lakota Sundance Ceremony. With all the energetic shifts that have taken place in me since then, not only was it an amazing experience, but it was actually life-changing. 

I have other comic pages in the works around my experience there, but this was the first immediate work concerning it. Especially because the song I learned is a Thank You Song, it seemed appropriate to begin with gratitude. 

Here are the lyrics and English translation as best I could gather from various sources:

WOPILA SONG (Thank You Song) 

Wakan Tanka Tunkasila

Great Spirit, Grandfather

Pilamaya yelo he

I thank you

Canunpa wakan cha maya ku welo he

You have given me a sacred pipe

Pilamaya ye, pilamaya yelo he 

Thank you, thank you

Wicozani wa maya ku welo he

You have given me a good healing

Pilamaya ye, pilamaya yelohe

Thank you, thank you
