This comic was originally posted on February 3rd 2003, the day Jeremy passed away. I have moved it to a February 16th posting (as this was his birthday) so it will correspond to all the other JMK comics that are in the archive.
JMK
Chapter: Team Horsley 3
This is Jerimy's wife Kristeen, and you have spelled his name wrong. This is a little upsetting to me… I get the tribute, but it is very offsetting… even to have only discovered it now, in 2011. Hope you meant well by it…
I'm very sorry his name is spelled wrong, I will correct it in all the other ones beyond this one (as this one was drawn onto it). I drew this the day I found out and I was pretty broken up about it and wasn't paying to much attention when I wrote his name and it just sort of 'stuck' throughout the years.
Jerimy has always meant a lot to me, growing up he was like my brother. Him and I went through so much together that I really regret how we fell apart when he moved down there. I have always felt like I did not make enough of an effort to keep in tough with him.
I do these every year because I think about him every day of my life. He meant more to me than I'm sure he ever knew.
I will continue to create these every year, even if I stop doing the comics.
I wish I could have known you while he and I were married, he really needed a friend like you so many times. And SO much changed for him when he left, it isn't anybody's fault. I think you're right about him not knowing how much he meant to you, I think the same thing everyday so I know how you feel. But he's lucky to have you, even in death, because your love for him continues in spite of his absence. You're a great friend to him, and I really thank you for that.
