Stranded on an Island: a personalized comic book gift
What would they bring to a desert island? Time to find out. Your hero washes ashore with a beach umbrella, a phone at 2% battery and a coconut that has seen things. From there it is pure survival: building a hut, befriending the local crab and trying to make fire for an embarrassingly long time. Every panel shows their face, increasingly sunburned. Tell us their funny habit and it follows them to the island. If you are hunting for personalized books for adults, funny ones, start here.

Questions about this comic
Can I be the one stranded with them?
Of course. Mention yourself in the 'anything special' field, plus how you would really cope (or not), and you can wash up together. Tell us in your answers if you want it sweet and romantic, or let the island reveal, lovingly, which of you really cannot light a fire.
What kind of details should go in the 'anything special' field?
Anything that makes it yours: the vacation where you got lost, the snack they would never ration, the nickname only you use. Inside jokes are perfect here. The story is written around these details, and you can tweak any line in the editor if a joke needs adjusting.
