The bookshelf was stacked with stories about ghosts, aliens, urban legends, mythical monsters, and other assorted horrors. We’d bought them shortly after we moved into the new house. The town we’d moved into had a second-hand bookshop, and that was the first place I hit with my grandpa, right the day we moved in.
“Have you found everything you’re looking for?” he asked every time I brought him a book to hold.
“No, just wait a little bit, I won’t be long,” I told him.
He just held the pile of books against his belly and hummed a song several decades old.
Grandpa never read books. At least, I’d never seen him read any. He did read newspapers, though. We had five newspapers showing up on our doorstep, printed in three different languages. Grandpa would read every story and every ad in the papers, often nodding and muttering a commentary to himself.
“Just to be clear, you can borrow these at any time” I said to him while the owner of the shop calculated the total.
He nodded a little distractedly. “Ice cream?” he asked in response. “I think there’s a parlour if you turn the corner down the street…”
That evening, I lined up each book on the shelf, spines out and ordered by theme. It was a more fun system of arrangement than just alphabetical or chronological. With the system I used, all I had to think was “I’m in the mood for a serial killer,” and then pick up the relevant tome.
Grandpa hadn’t seen my room, so I made it a point to drag him up there and look at my bookshelf. A full bookshelf is the most consummate adornment a room can aspire to.
“How is it?” I beamed at him, hoping he’d ask about the sorting.
“It looks like a laboratory of pure evil,” he said. “Like an innocent maiden could take one look at it and faint in terror.”
“You don’t think I’m an innocent maiden?” I asked with a coy smile.
He looked at me appraisingly. “You’re the most innocent of maidens, I think.”
I never really understood what he meant by that. It sounded like a joke, but then he wasn’t really one for jokes.
Every night, before going to sleep, I’d pick a book from the shelf and read a story or two to satisfy my cravings. It made for good dream fodder. I never had nightmares about those horrors—true nightmares don’t rely on comfortable tropes like that.
One night, Grandpa entered my room while I was reading a story out loud, complete with dramatised dialogue. He studied the bookshelf and I switched to reading quietly.
“You’re finally coming around to reading books, then?” I asked after finishing the paragraph I was reading.
“Yes,” he said and ran a hand over his balding head before stuffing it into a pocket again. “I think that after all this time of reading the newspapers, I would like to learn how the real world is.”
Yessss Mikey!
To this day I will ALWAYS love this movie and style of animation. Everything is so beautiful and the story is sublime. It's sad to say that Disney just doesn't do it like this anymore.

I don't know about you guys but this hit me with inspiration
Just a little silly comic that was inspired by the cereal debate. Trying to get into the layout of comics before I really start the comic I want to work on. What do you put in the bowl first? XD
Please, protect the doggos!
