Artist Who Lost A Friend Creates A Comic Tribute That’ll Inspire You To Drop Everything And Start Living
Ever feel trapped by life? Ever wanted to quit your job, sell your car, and hit the open road with nothing but what you can carry on your back? Well as you can see from this inspiring comic tribute, the late Patrick Joseph Falterman II did just that.
Patrick, who ran a website called hitchtheworld.com, recently died after the plane he was piloting crashed in Liberty County, Texas. He was only 26-years-old but he managed to fit more into his short time than most people do in a lifetime. A friend of his, an artist named Cale behind a website called Things in Squares, decided to create a comic about Patrick to honor his adventurous spirit and positive outlook on life. From hitchhiking through Latin America, busking on the streets in Brazil, and sailing down the Amazon on a home-made raft, Patrick lived a carefree life that most of us only dream of. Read about his story below to learn more about his amazing escapades. They’ll make you want to travel, but even more importantly, they’ll make you want to live.

Ok, I know this might sound strange but... I feel happy for Patrick. He did what he wanted. He reached his goal. So it was time to leave this life. Yeah, yeah... there are a lot of other places to go and see... but HE wanted to see the Amazon, THAT was HIS goal. So, congrats, Patrick. You reached your goal/mission in this life.

I agree with Sunnyrei82. I'm happy for Patrick, he did what he wanted and experienced what he could in his short lifetime. He reached his goal, while others are not always able to. Was a beautiful & inspiring story.
