Father's Day: a personalized comic book gift
Dad already has the mug, the socks and the tie with tiny golf balls on it. This year, make him the hero. Every panel shows his face as he fixes the unfixable, grills under pressure and delivers his signature dad joke at the worst possible moment. Fill it with his catchphrases, his garage projects and his habit of announcing the temperature of every room. It works for your own dad, a stepdad, or as a personalized comic book for your husband on his first Father's Day.

Questions about this comic
Can it gently roast Dad's habits?
Yes. Say in your answers that you want it teasing, then list his thermostat patrols, his parking rituals and his 'back in my day' stories. The story teases with warmth and never humiliates, so those habits become the jokes.
Can my siblings and I go in on it together?
Sure. One order covers the book; mention the siblings and the family dog in your answers and they can join Dad in the story. The foreword page in the printed hardcover can carry a message from all of you.
