Ordinary Time!
I started making regular diary comics in 2010. I started with a one year comic, making an entry for every day. Since then, I made them more seasonally. Eventually, they have evolved into these strips.
I hadn't quite been married for two years when I began, and now I have been married for 15. I've been making these things for all of Jules' life.
In any event, I never expected a day when Jules would understand what I am doing with these comics and request that a moment be documented. It was hilarious. And it was special as well.
After nearly a thousand pages of comics since 2010, which have caught the eye of some cool people from time to time, have never amounted to anything in the realm of "publishing" or being able to be anything other than a hobbyist. But if all I end up doing with these things is build a record for my kids to feel some kind of connection with me later in their life, then I think that is as noble a reason to move forward as any.
