The New Holidays were inspired by this comic from Surviving the World by Dante Shepherd.From a reader:
The unsung hero of my life would be my adoptive family, the Brynestads. These people took me in when I was running away from my abusive home and without making a big deal about it made me one of their own. I was a terrified 18 year old, who had no clue what to do with a family that loved him and cared and they taught me how. They tolerated my bullshit then and three years later they do now. They saved me from not only a terrible situation but also from a life of cynicism about family life. And they don’t get near enough credit for this, even though I’m not the first person they’ve done this for. It’s because of them I’ve made the choice to adopt when I’m settled and it’s because of them I went to college instead of spending the rest of my days wage slaving in a grocery store.
