To commemorate a poem published 20 years ago, I composed a little drawing to mark the occasion. The epsicle episode1 provides a modest response to a small poem inspired by the inventor of a summertime snack, the popsicle, is Frank Epperson.
The kagenashi art style is unfamiliar to me. Inspired by Studio Ghibli films and a newly discovered manga graphic novel, Hirayasumi, I thought I would give it a try.
