I am a huge Foreigner fan and love this song, 'Until The End of Time'. How could you not like the name of the album, 'Mr. Moonlight'? Perfect name. Should of been a movie or series title. In 1994, the group had made of a comeback of sorts after a short break. Lou Gramm had briefly left the group due to creative difference. He was absent from the previous album therefore this 'Mr. Moonlight' was important. I felt it was a return to form especially this song. I bought the CD for this song and was pleasantly surprised how good the rest is.
What is the song about?
Guy gets his heart broken each and every time he thinks he has found forever. Begins to distrust the possibility. Writes love out of his life. Afraid of the pain. Afraid to be alone. Gives love one more shot. Finding love can be real. Breathing life into you. I experienced that feeling many times. That is why I could relate to this song. I got kicked around in relationships. Friend zoned a lot. Found that many I dated didn't share a common bond with me. I was looking for something deeper and forever.
In 2001, I found that person. I was in a good place in my life. I had found balance. Remembered the song stating not to wait too long. Met my future in Kelly, through a mutual friend and a successful blind date. We met July 3rd, 2001 and got engaged on September 7th, 2001. Marriage would not happen until September 6th, 2003 In those two years we endured a lot. After two decades we are still together. We still are best friends with a story still being written. When we were planning our wedding, I played 'Until The End of Time' many times for Kelly. It was played at our wedding reception. For our 20th Anniversary of our Wedding, I decided to illustrate the song.
The story is about me and Kelly as my altar ego, Barnsy Boxcar and his one and only, Pudnelopy. Pudnelopy is Kelly in every way. She is strong; driven by faith and puts others first. Stubborn; shy and can be quite quiet but will tolerate abuse. She brings out the best in unpredictable eccentricity Barnsy as her counterpart does for me.
By the way...
Foreigner does not in any way endorse this little comic of mine. It is a tribute to the song and to my wife, Kelly. In fact there is only one physical copy in existence. Kelly owns that copy which is boarded and placed in a plastic envelope. I make no money off this nor do I claim any intellectual property based on the song. All I claim is my original characters that appear in the story. Literally, a passion project.
The prototype issue. The sampler so to speak. Technically my second attempt at a pilot. I used this copy to get feedback from various types of people to get a reading of direction and interest.
Twenty pages of Black/White comic strips collected from the daily comics from barnsyink.com 2017 to the present day. The Debut issue for the ongoing series. All are printed at the size of of 4.75 X 5.50. Smaller then the common size of a comic book or magazine. Literally a min comic.
A hundred and twelve individual comic strips ranging from sight gags; word/phrase explanations; faith based; philosophical; fantastical and day in the life observations. Its a series of short little trips connected only that it all occurs in the same world.
It's general audience with no nudity or profanities. I have no intention to offend anyone or their beliefs. Adult humor is not my thing.
Illustrated; designed and written by me and edited by my wife and daughter.
The focus is on Barnsy and his supporting cast but their are also a lot of one off characters that show up throughout the series. This is a assemble series more of the life and times of the Universe of Imagination Fantastique narrowed to the planet 'Friday'.
This is a independent press with no coporate backing. I wanted to publish my own series. It is print on demand and exclusive through this website. That is for now.
A bio page is included to help readers see who to look out for. For more in depth listing and detailed profiles on each of the inhabitants, please check out the Barnsyverse page
All free to read as E-Books. Hope you all enjoy it. Future issues and a Hard Copy of Issue #1 are available for purchase at the Shop.

UNTIL THE END OF TIME (The Lyrics)
When I was young and the world belonged to me,
I thought that love meant pain and jealousy.
It was a cross on my shoulder.
Oh, Lord, now I feel so much older.
Mmm. Mmm.
Time had a way of making me see my lonely life has taken its toll on me.
Now, I feel the emptiness and I don't wanna live like this.
Now, I've heard stories, I've heard songs telling me believe my heart.
Don't wait too long with words that don't ring true until there was you.
Never will I lose this heart's desire.
Ever will I feel our love's fire only when I know
That you'll be mine until the end of time.
How do I trust what I'm beginning to feel,
And how deep my soul, how much can I reveal?
I'm lost in love's mystery, caught between time and eternity.
Now, there's a door that opens wide.
Slowly I will find my way and I'll reach inside.
But I couldn't make it through until there was you.
Never will I lose this heart's desire.
Ever will I feel our love's fire only when I know
That you'll be mine and only when I see
The light of love shine until the end of time.
Never will I lose this heart's desire.
Ever will I feel our love's fire.
And when I see the light of love shine in your eyes when they meet mine,
Only then I'll know it's you and I until the end of time.
