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.
Personally, creatively and professionally I’ve always been a technology guy. The Kid benefited from an abundance of toys and games and gadgets in the house and it often led to interesting moments balancing parenting with the allure of distraction, media, the internet or otherwise.
We have always had games in the house and among friends, from eclectic board games to the latest video game consoles. And funnily enough, it turns out that when you teach a kid to play, all they really want to do is beat you at your own game.
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.
