Fear can be crippling. It can time and a lot of help to overcome. This strip shows how reaching out can help someone break the fear.

... Or maybe I am WAY OFF BASE and this is me overthinking this haha. Either way, really enjoying the pacing and the shot of seriousness in this strip. Kinda like how Calvin & Hobbes sometimes touches on some heavier stuff, instead of all laughs and gags. Great job on this! 👏

Brutus certainly has experience in this department. I wonder if he'll share a little bit with Lola about how he too was scared to experience hurt again after he lost his handler. But after meeting a certain kitten, he slowly started to allow himself some joy in life again by taking the risk of letting another friend come close to his heart. There certainly have been risks (the eagle, the gator, even the halloween episode as a fire pumpkin, etc.) but that hasn't stopped him from continuing to risk that pain to experience happiness instead of be paralyzed by the fear of what COULD happen...
