The previous panel and the this one reference a dream I had while I was going through a divorce. The wave references many dreams I’ve had my entire life. A psychic friend of mine told me it’s because I was killed by a wave, many lifetimes ago, when I was a little kid playing on the edge of the Mediterranean. Apparently it’s become my person symbol of profound change.

Molly Demeter Sokolow Hayden (or Modemeter, for obvious reasons of length) grew up surrounded by her father’s comic book collection, sometimes literally. She fell in love with Will Eisner’s Spirit at an inappropriately young age and wishes she could draw like Jaime Hernandez. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, her daughter, and her cat, and sneaks down to her drawing table whenever she can.
