This single-panel comic contains a quote from the book “Flying Leap” by Judy Budnitz. In the upper left corner is a book with the words “Flying Leap” and the name “Judy Budnitz” on the cover, and the words “Flying Leap” on the spine. Three grey silhouetted figures twist and fall through the center of the panel. At the upper left are the words: These are the final lines of the short story “Flight” from the 1998 book Flying Leap by Judy Budnitz. The quote reads as follows: “The terror of falling is not the earth rushing up, smiling and effusive, to embrace you like an old friend you had hoped never to see again. Nor is it the fear of impact, the teeth-rattling jolt, like the violent thrust you close your eyes and brace yourself for in the night. It is the sense of betrayal, as you arch earthward like a shooting star and look down to see no one there waiting to catch you.” This cartoon is part of a series called Falling. It is written and drawn by Jim Hamilton who can be found on Instagram at Green Harbor Publications (all one word, greenharborpublications).
