Last season on my podcast 7 Minute Stories, I released an episode titled "Dandelion Salad." Prior to the audio version, I shared a one-minute video adaptation on my YouTube channel. The "Dandelion Salad" YouTube Short quickly gained traction, accumulating over 17 million views. This caught the attention of Pedro Moura, a talented comics scriptwriter from Lisbon, Portugal. Pedro contributes a two-page comics section for the magazine "Cais" every month. "Cais" is a heartwarming initiative, as it is sold by either homeless individuals or those undergoing rehabilitation, with all proceeds directly benefiting them and the institution.
After stumbling upon the "Dandelion Salad" short on YouTube, Pedro reached out to me via email. He expressed interest in adapting the story, which left me deeply honored and eager to see his creative interpretation. Pedro collaborated with the incredibly talented artist, Nani Brunini, for the illustrations. What they crafted was nothing short of exquisite.
The comic is set to be published in the early months of 2024 within the pages of "Cais" magazine. However, Pedro kindly requested that I share this story and rendition with the dedicated listeners of the 7 Minute Stories podcast and those familiar with my storytelling work. Below, you'll find the series of images I was able to cobble together from a PDF doc. I’ll post here again once the magazine is published.
