The comic was better. And those who don’t know the comic will have a hard time following. But as a kid, I would not not have been nearly so fussy and would have love this.
From the upload comments (2020):
“I Heard the Bells” is the most perfect song for this Christmas. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote this poem as a widowed father of six children after learning that his eldest son had just been severely wounded fighting in the civil war. The words paint a beautiful picture of the despair he was feeling, but also the hope he maintained despite his circumstances.
