[panel 1: a cartoonishly drawn child wearing a pink t-shirt and black spandex shorts sits on a grassy hillside, nearly resting their back against the verdant scene. They put their weight on their elbow and pluck a flower from the grass with a smile.]

[panel 2: they lean over the flower and, whilst plucking petals, say “Loves me… Loves me not… Loves me… Loves me not…”

[panel 3: they point at the flower and focus their attention further.]

[panel 4: their finger wags at the petals as they enumerate and whisper “Loves me… Loves me not.]

[panel 5: they sit up and glance about to see if anyone is watching]

[panel 6: they simultaneously tear off two leaves and say “Loves me…”]

[panel 7: the flower shouts at the now sobbing child, “HEY, HEY, HEY. NO CHEATING! YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU’RE NOT LOVED!”]

I was not expecting to be attacked like this.

Look for flowers with an odd number of petals. There are two visible in the comic!

I come for the comic strips but I stay for the text descriptions.

I have no clue whether I’ve helped any disabled folks enjoy an intrinsically visual medium but if it aids in the entertainment of others, I dig that.

If I had this read aloud to me and closed my eyes, I would be positively transported by the richness of your descriptions.

Thank you! That’s quite possibly the kindest compliment I’ve received on this website. I hope someone brightens your day as you have mine.
