#214 Getting Busy

Everyone these days is so busy. But how busy? Sometimes you look over and see someone’s inbox completely empty, yet they say that they’re busy. I mean, maybe they’re busy in other aspects of their life? Maybe they’re busy building and navigating their “mind palace.” Or maybe they’re just busy doing nothing. That’s a thing right? Get busy living or get busy dying. No in between.

About MY ADVENTURES IN COMICS

Since I had no confidence in my drawing skills, I figured I’d take a bunch of photos and organize them into a comic strip. Everything about the comic was inspired by real life. However, it started to get difficult telling a story or writing a joke around photos and it felt like I was doing everything backwards.

So, at the end of 2014, I thought I’d try my hand at writing a joke first, then drawing. Thus, the comic was reborn. Though it seemed simple enough, I wondered if I could keep it up regularly. And now, here we are.

My Adventures in Comics is A COMPLETELY FICTIONAL strip inspired by life, love, family, work, cats & dogs, and music.

Tools: pencil, pens, paper, and Comic Life program.
