My Adventures in Comics

#234 Any Minute Now

Guys, I wrote this comic yesterday morning.  Sure, I’m reusing a bunch of panels from previous strips, but sometimes the story just writes itself. And here’s the funny thing: this LITERALLY HAPPENED to me in real life yesterday afternoon. You know the saying, “truth is stranger than fiction.”  You can’t make this kind of absurdity up. The sad thing is that I knew a few weeks ago that there was a 90% chance this would happen.

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.
