Often when I came up with an idea for comic there was not enough material to build up into a full multi-panel joke. An offhand comment, a captured moment, or a simple glimpse at parenthood made for enough material to explain itself. In the tradition of single panel comics I often jumped into this format as a bonus strip for my readers.
If anything, since stopping my artistic work on this comic I have gotten more and more into music. But even back then the Kid was learning the piano and I was learning the violin, so there was a lot of musical learning going on at our house. It made for endless comedic stories.
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.
