“Surreal/So Real”

So my friend told me about this dream she had…The worst part about these kinds of dreams is that you forget them a few minutes after you wake up. I used to have a journal right by my bed for just such occasions. In one dream, I was a transvestite Batman battling the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors. Maybe I should start keeping that journal again. Could help with the writers block.
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.
