Our sympathies go out to Jamie Smart, who lost his dad this month. He wrote beautifully about it over on his Live Journal and has posted this touching, heartfelt and very moving strip online – Talking To Dad. To explain why he felt moved to complete the strip he said this:

I don’t often draw serious or autobiographical comics, but last night i wrote this to try and put into pictures what i felt i’d lost. A lifetime of communication, represented by telephones. If reading this makes only one person pick up the phone and call their dad, just to talk about nothing at all, then its worth it.
