There is a depth of sadness in this one! I wonder though, does the old man ever feel sad for other old men who fly no carpes? Stirred, Not Shaken
Love everything about this. Especially the old man’s sigh. Nice touch. The art work is fantastic.
Very nice touch.Story told in a sigh.
I do a lot of sighing myself these days—without even looking up at a single carp streamer!
