*_* Sweet! A happy ending because she loves cats <3 Beautiful comic! I wish you a 2013 full of kitties, kittie's hair, kittie's scars , kittie's toys, and, specially wish you lots of SQUEE!!! <3 <3 <3
I am actually crying, this story always makes me so sad, but your ending is perfect, you are a very creative cat lady and I loove your blog, congratulations and happy new year!
You can't possibly have known that that is one of my favorite stories and that it mirrors my own life in some ways (cats figuring prominently, too!). Thank you! and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones, Yasmine!
Best version of the Little Match Girl ever! Thanks - I wish my mom had internet to see it (she may, soon have a new computer) but I'll tell her all about it when I call her today.
I was curious about the original story, which I never heard of until I read people's comments, so I Googled it and happened upon the 2006 Disney animated version... and I almost started crying at work. >_<
I love that version (Watched in numerous times now because the ending just blows me away!), but at least your version won't leave me crying in the fetal position.
Well, I actually DID cry at work, right at my desk with tears dripping down my face. The original story was so, so sad, but this ending is wonderful. Yasmine, you're terrific! Keep 'em coming!
This is a MUCH better ending to this story! ^_^ I never really liked the "Little Match Girl" as a child, and I still disliked how unfortunate the ending was with little message or point aside from "being a homeless orphan sucks." Thanks for improving it.
I love this story, because of the other comments I checked out the original match girl story. Man it was really sad, but I love yours better it gives a message of hope!
This is a great revision of the original story. The ending is so much better. Once again, thank you for creating a wonderful diversion from the rigors of daily life.
The panel with the cat running away in the snow... reminds of the book "Katie's Kitten". Is this a little homage to that book? The red handkerchief, the snow, the cat... I can't help but think of that book!
The original story traumatized me as a little kid with how cruel and random the world truly is. I still remember reading it at age six and realizing the only thing separating me from a homeless orphan starving and freezing to death on the street was pure luck. Pure chance. Terrifying realization as a child.
Your version is so much happier and calming. Also demonstrates the open and selfless love that animals give people. The kitty led the Little Match Girl towards something warm fuzzy happiness, even though it was humble. It keeps the original "appreciate what you have," while toning down the cold Victorian classicism and bleakness. Sometimes that is need, especially now when we are returning to that age.
Much better story then the original!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the 'Mew's so cute! :D Looking forward to more in 2013, happy new year!!

I'd never heard the original story. I figured it just turned the idea of the classic, "It followed me home, can we keep it?" on its head. :)
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat is how I always wanted it to end!!!!
ReplyDeletevery touching story thank you
ReplyDeleteI teared up...
ReplyDeleteI had never seen the original, then I looked it up and I couldn't hold back my tears...
