The thing that struck me was what he said about "not and act of grace, but something I desperately wanted to do". And I thought, hm, isn't it both, and isn't that the best kind of grace? Grace may be undeserved, but it doesn't have to be grudgingly given :). --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.89|162.158.74.89]] 17:27, 17 November 2020 (UTC) | The thing that struck me was what he said about "not and act of grace, but something I desperately wanted to do".

:Grace is something you can give to someone if you want/have to make the other person feel better (in whatever degree and whatever "feel" may mean in context). It is thus per definition not an act of grace if your motive is just your own feelings ("''I'' desperately wanted to do"). That his soon-to-be wife felt better with that act (otherwise she most likely wouldn't have agreed) is just some lucky coincidence. That sounds somewhat cold and isn't meant as such. My point is that something may look like an act of grace but isn't one.

I have made a new series category, [[:Category:X Years]], for these three comics. Should in principle have been done after number two, but better late than never. A beautiful series. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:03, 18 November 2020 (UTC) | I have made a new series category, [[:Category:X Years]], for these three comics.
