I know this thread is pretty old, but just wanted to mention a little more on the comic.

I was the one who found the comic and translated it into original words. What I mean by “original words”, I mean that it was in English to begin with. It was written by some member in the IGN forum, and I was able to find the original post too. But that was long ago…

A show of proof, this is where I posted the translated comic:

[...] I first saw this tale on a gametrailers video, embedded below. However the original story was posted December 14, 2005 on LoLieL the Black Onion Brigade. The translation on the Korean site seems unusually natural and reportedly the source is the IGN forums. I used google translator to view the Korean sourced sites and they reference the story as North American (동물의 숲과 한 북미 유저의 이야기). However I searched the 169 million posts at boards.ign.com using a couple search engines and found nothing. There is a decent translation of the story to Japanese by gameneta. Apparently the original Korean comic created from this story was created December 17, 2005 by OneSound on ThisIsGame.com. [...]

when you create your character in Animal Crossing, you select your favorite relative: Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Grandfather.

Then periodically the game will send you random items in the mail from the “favorite relative” you selected, saying things like “Just thinking of you, Love, Mom.”

Most likely all the letters he got were generated by the game, not by his mother.

It’s an example of great game design, not maternal love.
