Amazingly complimentary compliment on Birdsite by an illustrator of distant acquaintance. What I like the most is that it isn't so much about the quality of my work but about me.
It's in Dutch, but what it says is along the lines of "I've thought about it for a long time but Reinder Dijkhuis is closest to how I think a cartoonist works. I have a lot of admiration for this man."

What the hell. I'm gonna think a little while about who I'd be similar things about and then pay it forward. Could be tomorrow or later, but I want to make someone's day like @striptekenaars@twitter.com has made mine.
@reinderdijkhuis Are you still able to walk? I would not like to meet the bird that that feather came from. 😂
@branko With a feather like that anywhere on my body, I can fly.
I mean, there's someone who's noticed my persistence and dedication, qualities that I think exist regardless of what anyone might think of the technical and storytelling qualities or originality of my work, which I presume the poster also likes, but it'd be OK if my persistence and dedication were all he appreciated.
