Kurt writes a two page epilogue of sorts at the end and explains the origins of the story and provides wonderful look back at his life when he wrote the story and what has happened since then. File this comic away and share it with friends who may or may not be comic book fans, I think they will all enjoy it. Read Full Review
Thoughts on a Winter Morning is open, honest, and heartwarming. It's about the memories we cherish, and creating new memories to look back on. If you are still in high school, Thoughts on a Winter Morning might not be the best read for you. If you are like me and have a few children and have been out of school for more than a decade, I think you'll find Thoughts on a Winter Morning to be a wonderful tale of remembering the past, while keeping an eye on the future.
