In “Gotcha,” Steve Dallas creeps through a hospital corridor, certain he’s about to expose wrongdoing. The strip ends on a cliffhanger, with Steve shouting “Gotcha!” — a moment of tension that, for us, became deeply personal. This signed print, inscribed “To Randy,” entered our lives during a season of hardship and healing. Randy’s battle with sepsis, months of infusions, and the long road of physical therapy made this piece a poignant emblem of resilience. Its humor and suspense mirrored the uncertainty of that time, while the hospital setting echoed the kindness and care we experienced firsthand.
