Finally some closure after all those years

It's referencing a scene from The Neverending Story (1984), in case anyone is lost.

Been a long time since I’ve seen a comic from The Oatmeal

He's actually put out a few little ones recently, maybe now he's finished with the tv show and the card games etc. he's back on the comics.

Is this what closure feels like? Is this healing?

My mom had a horse just like that (maybe not the eyes) and we would often ride her around our woods/property. There was a part of our swamp that was just muck, water and leaves beneath dead, spindly trees, and any time we would get close to that I would flip the fuck out because of this scene. No goliath turtles, though.

We all rode your mom around your woods/property.
