I've been loving these poignant and bracing Animal Crossing comics from Tumblr user Semi. They do the impossible of being heartfelt without becoming schmoopy or cloying.

I'd like to share some of my favorites in this (THREAD).

Visit Semi's site: https://animauxing.tumblr.com/ 

(No knowledge of Animal Crossing is required beyond knowing that there's an island that a human shares with animal companions, and the human tries to improve it for the villagers. Sometimes the animals ask if it's okay to move on.)
