The Amazing Grace comic strip published in the Manila Bulletin on January 20, 2026 centers on a gentle, relatable moment of longing featuring the young heroine Amazing Grace as she copes with missing Paulie, who has been away for a week. Throughout the strip, Grace tries to distract herself from her feelings by surrounding herself with activities and, humorously, with lots and lots of snacks—treats piling up as a visual gag that reflects her attempt to fill the empty space left by Paulie’s absence. Despite her efforts to stay busy and cheerful, the comic’s punchline makes it clear that the snacks and distractions don’t quite work, and she still ends up missing him just as much. The strip blends light humor with emotional honesty, highlighting how even small, everyday comforts can’t always replace the presence of someone important.
