Questions people ask

How does it work?

Upload a clear photo of the person who becomes the hero and answer a few fun questions about them: their job, hobbies, a catchphrase, a funny habit. We write three story ideas from your answers, you pick one, and we draw the cover and the first page so you can see it for free. If you like it, you get the whole comic as an eBook, and you can order it as a printed hardcover.

What do I get and how much is it?

The eBook is $7.99: 26 full comic pages plus a cover, to read on any device, share by private link and download as a PDF. Once you have the eBook, the printed hardcover is $44.99, because your eBook payment is deducted. Shipping depends on the delivery country: the cart shows it before you pay, and the pricing page lists every country. In the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, the US and Canada it is free from 2 hardcovers.

When will my comic arrive?

The eBook is ready to read about 15 minutes after you order, and its link is in your confirmation email. The printed hardcover is made to order: printing takes 3 to 10 working days, plus shipping to your country. The cart shows the shipping price before you pay.

How big is the printed comic, and how many pages does it have?

The hardcover is A4 portrait (8.3 x 11.7 in) with a matte laminated cover and 34 printed pages: a title page, a cast page or your own dedication, 26 full comic pages with 3 to 5 panels each, and The End. The eBook has the same comic pages.

Can I see the comic before I pay?

Yes, part of it. Once you pick a story idea, we draw the cover and the first page, free. You only pay if you want the whole comic: the eBook is $7.99, and that amount is deducted when you order the hardcover.

Is it suitable for adults only?

Yes, it is made for grown-ups, with grown-up humor and jokes that can tease. But nothing goes beyond PG-13: no nudity or sex, no gore, no slurs. Cartoon action and slapstick are fine, and nobody gets seriously hurt. We also do not draw real celebrities, politicians or brands.

Can I make one about a couple?

Yes. Tell us about both of you in your answers, how you met, the running jokes, the trip that went wrong, and the story ideas we write will be about the two of you. Start from a story idea like How We Met if you want it to lean romantic.

Can I use inside jokes?

Please do. Put them in your answers, together with nicknames, how you met or a real event. The questions about the hero (their catchphrase, a funny habit, a favorite place) give the story even more to work with, and the three story ideas are written around all of it.

What if a face or a page is not right?

Open your comic in the editor and have that page redrawn before you order the print. You can also change the words on any page. Nothing is printed until you have checked every page.

What photo works best?

A bright, sharp photo where only that person is in the picture and their face is clearly visible, ideally with some of their body too. No sunglasses, hats pulled low or heavy filters.

Can friends, family or the dog be in the story?

Yes. Mention them in your answers (who they are and what they are like) and the story ideas can give them a part. The hero, drawn from your photo, is the star on every page.

Which languages can the comic be in?

The speech balloons, captions and sound effects can be lettered in English (American or British), Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish or Swedish.

What else can I order with my comic?

A greeting card (from $1.89), a coloring book ($9.95) and a birthday calendar ($11.95), all made from your comic's pictures and 20% off when a hardcover is in the same order. You can also start a sequel with the same characters, and copy or translate a comic for free.

Can I cancel a print order?

Yes, for 2 hours after you pay, on the Orders page: your payment is then refunded to the original payment method within 5 working days. After that the order goes to the printer and can no longer be changed.

Can I return or cancel my comic?

Every comic is made for the one person in it, so there is no right of return once we have started making it (our terms explain the details). You can cancel a print order for 2 hours after paying, on the Orders page. If a printed comic arrives faulty or damaged, send a photo to [email protected] and we reprint it or refund you. If your eBook is not ready within a reasonable time, we make it again or refund your payment.

Can I talk to a person if something goes wrong?

Of course. Email [email protected] and a real person answers, whether a photo did not work or a parcel is taking its time.

Can I use the comic commercially?

No. Your comic is made as a personal gift and for fun: to give, to laugh at and to keep on the shelf, not for resale or advertising. The story is fiction, so it is not a source of facts about anyone either.

What happens to the photos I upload?

We use them only to draw your comic. To draw the pictures they are processed by AI services that are not allowed to use them to train AI models or keep them for their own purposes. They are stored securely, never sold, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
