A bittersweet little love story

Love really doesn't have boundaries



Hold Close

Yeah, that's not at all readable.

Clicking the name of the comic will take you to the original on deviantART.

Have you ever blown out a candle? "Yes," you say?

MURDERER!

Anyway, cute story. I especially like them "holding hands" via a rock held between them.

Pretty cute!

Though I don't know if I can fully invest myself in cutesy, light-hearted things involving open flames and er, potential death. I'm still somewhat traumatized by Disney's rendition of "The LIttle Match Girl"...

I prefer the Hogfather version, where Death, moonlighting as Santa Claus (or the Hogfather as he's called in this world), saves her.

"The Hogfather brings presents. There's no better present than a future."

There's also the Fables version where she's an agent of Hope and relives the story every Christmas... yeaaaah

Yeah, the only thing I disliked about that story was that the Little Matchstick Girl should have been the first one encountered. The three agents of hope match up so well to the Three Ghosts of Christmas, that I'm surprised they didn't do them in the right order.

Nah, she's the Ghost of Christmas Past. The Ghost of Christmas Present is Santa Claus, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is one of the defeated bad guys (I think the Evil Queen from Snow White), since even the wicked have hopes (and indeed, their hopes are just come to fruition more often than most). More specifically, she represents the hope for revenge.

The point of the Matchstick Girl in the story is that hopes die or are killed quite easily. Santa Claus represents the hope of justice (toys for the good, coal for the bad).

The most amazing thing about stuff like the Hogfather is how Pratchett can present such ridiculous material that has such brilliant and moving undertones throughout. Death's speech to Susan at the end, for example. Pratchett is a master of addressing deep concepts within a seemingly silly lark.
