Late in my drawing journey I experimented with different formats, like the three panel full colour comic strip. I had been leaning keeping the smaller strips as black and white, but dabbled in adding more depth as the comic matured.
We’re not secret foodies, but raising a kid is sometimes about teaching them how to grow, cook and otherwise prepare food. Also, and maybe this is obvious, the title of the comic had an allusion to pastry in it, so… you know.
From holidays to travel to living in a vast multicultural country, the Kid grew up exposed to all sorts of curious traditions that gave her a rich childhood. It also made for interesting comedic fodder for her parents trying to keep up with her infinite curiosity about the eclectic world in which she lived.
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.
