I apologize to the two of you who read this for the amount of zero jokes in today’s comic…thought I’d toy around with amore comic book style. It’s kind of hard. I keep saying this over and over again, but how do the guys who actually DRAW comics do it. Inna suggested that I take a drawing class. Not sure I have the patience for it. I can see the pictures in my head, but I can’t execute. Maybe I should try anyway.

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.
