The Fishing Trip: a personalized comic book gift
They will wake at 4 a.m. for a lake, sit in silence for six hours and call it the best day of the year. This comic finally gives them the catch they have been describing for years. Page after page, there they are, battling a fish the size of a canoe, untangling their line in a storm and trading insults with the one that got away. Share their favorite spot, their lucky lure and the fishing story they always tell, and the legend gets drawn properly at last.

Questions about this comic
Can it tell the real story of the one that got away?
Yes. Write it in the 'anything special' field: where it happened, how big it was (according to them) and who was there to see it. The comic builds around that story with generous exaggeration, and you can tweak the words in the editor.
Can their fishing buddy or dog come along?
Of course. Mention their fishing buddies or the dog who barks at every ripple in your answers, and they can come along in the story. Add who brings the snacks and who tells the tallest tales.
