His face is on every page, whether he is lost on a shortcut that was 'definitely faster' or defending the grill from a thunderstorm. Whether the crew is grown and gone or still loud at home, this is a personalized book for adults about the dad who held it all together.

Questions about this comic
Can the family appear in Dad's comic?
Yes. Mention the family, the dog or even his beloved lawnmower in your answers, and they can join him in the story. It stays his story, though: Dad is the hero, and everyone else is his supporting cast.
Does it work if his family is all grown up?
It does. Tell us about the dad he is today, his catchphrases, hobbies and funny habits, and add old family stories in the 'anything special' field. It suits a brand-new dad just as well as one whose crew moved out years ago.
