Description
Finally, damn It looks like whenever I decide I wanna speed up things, life is just dedicated to throw obsticles in my way...This part of the comic got possibly the most rewrites and changed drastically multiple times.
One of the many changes was the method of narrative:
Originally I planned an actual flashback, with dialogue between the young Mr. and Mrs.Wilde. That way of narrative was discarded by me because, while it would've been more emotional it also felt a bit tear-jerking, I wanted to have the reader more immersed in the situation Judy is in, listening to John's tale, who obviously won't quote word-by-word what happened. He simplifies it and tells the bulk of the story that matter the most to him.

Guess even Nick's father delt with alot of profiling.

What doesΒ profiling mean?

It's kinda like stereotyping someone.

Dang.
That is deep and also underlies the undertones of the series.

Wow...
I've been itching to find out the story behind it. Slowly seeing where this can go now.
Might not be pretty.

Might not be, but I there might be hope

I think I get it now, the stories title. Β Lovely story telling with unique perspective and how John's past with the tailor shop is presented. Β Looking forwards to the next update from one of the best artists and storytellers out there.

Thank you very much! I'm truly honored that you think that highly of me

I think I understand the title now. John feels "it should have been me" to be able to inspire Nick in his youth.
TheΒ sepia images from the past as John tells Judy what happened work well to tell the tale.
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed, John feels like he didn't do something that he should've had done as a father. Thank you very much!

I like the way you are presenting this from John's point of view. It is very well written and I'm enjoying it greatly. I think I can see where the title comes from now as well. Very nice comic and the shading on each panel in the flashback ones is brilliantly done to portray that effect. Well done!!!

It's shaping up to be a beautiful story. And Nick's dad even credits Judy for inspiring Nick to become who he is now. Still love the look on her face as she describes Nick to his dad.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! Indeed, she has also reason to be proud of Nick after all

I really like this story. It's believable ina dark way, but it explains why Nick resents his father despite John not seeming like a villain. He wouldn't be the first to be consumed by a dream, and he won't be the last.
Wonderful work!

Thank you, altough I don't understand the "resents" part. Everything sofar implied that Nick likes his father, he just didn't talk about him or his family overall.

In page two, Judy comments "He seems nice, but Nick said..." which suggested to me that Nick has said some unkind things about his father. When Judy started musing on what it could have been that Nick was talking about, I gathered that Nick resented him for something he'd done in the past and had told Judy about.
Just an inference! Again, loving the comic.

I see and that was on the goal of page 2 but on page 3 it is revealed however that Judy only remembered that Nick's mom had to scrape money together for his uniform, and she wonders what his father was doing, what was he like, during that time (meaning that Nick did not say anything about his father at all). There is also her notion of "Nick seem to like him a lot, so I shouldn't worry so much"
No problem, just thought I point out some connectable dots!

Fair points.

nice teist, it's give a gritty dark tone with reality. The wife obviously couldn't keep up with debts and a unenployed husband.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! That is also a possiblity. Or just seeing him fail over and over again, getting more and more frustrated and desprate resulted in him neglecting the family. After all he never said he was unenployed.

no, you are right,but this projct obviously sapped all his energy.Β

Prejudice in a city that is supposed to be built on diversity proves that they still have much progress to make as a whole, right?

Isn't it sad that there are those in Zootopia who do not practice what they preach?

Yepp, that's one of the most widely accepted concept name among fans for Nick's father
π: 0 β©: 1
ACtually, it was also used in the original concept of the movie
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what meant by "concept name"
Byron Howard said however that since Nick's dad got written out, his name is ultimately undecided.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. I still use it if I mention his dad, however. It's not a bad name

Yes, Judy is quite the one to inspire others.
I believe you made the correct choice for the flashback. The images and the narration gets the story across just fine.
A heartfelt story but fortunately there is an "almost" in that last sentence.
