My Adventures in Comics


A Little Bird Told Me

162 A Little Bird Told Me 01SEP2014

 

True story.  Last year, we thought that installing a humming bird feeder was a good idea to amuse the cats.  However, against certain advice, the feeder was installed in a spot that could put the birds in a certain amount of danger.  Sure enough, within a few days George and Miss Muppet tag-teamed and successfully captured one.  Needless to say, I was a little horrified when I identified the mysterious brown lump that the two were so interested in.  Oops. Lesson learned though, pay attention to an animal’s nature.

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.
