Experimenting even more with the classic single panel strip, I occasionally tried my hand a wide format comic, usually when the scene or the moment or the joke dictated a bigger more expansive view of the setting to set the vibe. These panoramic comics were some of my favorites… but they were also a lot more work to illustrate.
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.
