About the strange. I remember, during the covid times, the English version of "Dary" (Gifts of wandering ice) experienced an unexpected reader boom and even got the nickname "the comic that predicted covid". This happened because of a story arc where melting icebergs bring with them an ancient virus, and an epidemic begins. The references for my virus were bird flu and the Spanish flu, but people superimposed their own covid experiences and personal emotions onto it, which caused such a stir on and around the site.
I even gave several interviews at that time, where I was asked about the "predicted covid" and hopes for the future. It was a strange year.
