My Adventures in Comics


“Present Enough”

Here’s another Christmas comic. My sister’s really not that greedy. I don’t know how you all distribute presents, but in my family my dad acts as the “Santa.” He reads out loud the to/from note on the gifts, while all the kids (now 29/27/26/15) stand in line waiting to hand him the next one.

God, we’re starting to get old.



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.
