opossum plays alive : a webcomic on life after death after life
previous 
I. opossum meets its twilight    
Our darling friend danced with the leaves
And they waltzed to Nature’s tune.
Its tiny paws and fuzzy sleeves
Conducted ballad ‘neath the Moon.
So happy was our tiny critter
To do nothing but exist,
And it promised on that cosmic glitter
To let no moment pass unkissed.
[image description: five frame gif animation of a cartoon opossum bouncing and throwing its legs back and forth in the company of five orange, yellow, and red leaves, as well as with some stray particles and gusts of breeze]
kat’s note:
the animation is quite messy, but it functions lol.  drawing this has made me quite nostalgic for fall/autumn.  winter is my favorite season, but fall is definitely a close second.  time to start strategizing halloween costumes!

opossum plays alive : a webcomic on life after death after life
next page
I. opossum meets its twilight    
‘Twas a dark and starry night,
That eve of crisp mid-fall,
Where our World was cradled in celestial light
Wrapped in Mother Nature’s shawl.
Soft hushed winds sifted through the trees,
Leaf confetti strewn about,
Cinnamon spice flit on the breeze,
Autumn freckles specked throughout.
A pleasant present from the Earth
Was that evening blossom
And who loved Her with all life’s worth
More than our dear Opossum?
[image description: multimedia painted gif of an opossum hanging by its tail from a turqoise tree, looking on at the night sky of blues, pinks, and purples.  there is a green pine in the right corner, and distant hills on the horizon.  six leaves of orange, red, and yellow move for the two frames of the gif.  the opossum’s lineart moves slightly]
kat’s note:
hello! here is the first page of my hopeful webcomic/series/whatever the heck this is! this is a long story mulling over the theme of aliveness, self-esteem, and the body, or just a silly little poem about an opossum that does Not die.  regardless, i hope you enjoy it. :) will update hopefully weekly.
