The four-panel format was my first and most used comic style, and it belies that fact that most of my audience was on Insta which (at the time) relied on square images. It was a great format and four squares is sometimes just the right amount to play around with a particular gag.
For as much as I tried to be a good dad, I was selfish about my running. It was my ticket to a bigger group of friends, a support team, and a healthier life that wasn’t me stuck at a desk doing work (or drawing comics) all the day long. Leaning into a sport and living a healthy life didn’t go unnoticed by the Kid tho, and she showed tons of curiosity about what I did when I disappeared out the front door with sneakers on.
You may have noticed some redundancy in the written content in these posts, particularly if you’ve been reading more than one or two of them. A couple years ago the original piday.ca site was hacked and lost… and I have had to rebuild it all from scratch. I had all the comics and art, but I have taken some shortcuts with a bulk content editor to try and give those comic strips as much context as I can.
