The twentieth comic on the twentieth day of the twentieth month. The month known as November. Hah. Anyway, Inna and I joined/founded a new band called Box of Birds, which prompted the purchase of new instruments…sort of. She’d been wanting a new bass for a long time and I’d been wanting a new guitar for a long time. Finally the time was right. Maybe we’ll see you at a show some day.

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.
