Questions about this comic

Can it tell our real how-we-met story?

Yes. Write it in the 'anything special' field: where you were, who spoke first, the date and any embarrassing details. The story is written around what you share with some comic flair, and you can change the words in the editor so it matches your memory.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. After you answer a few fun questions and share how you met, we write three story ideas, you pick one, and you see the cover and the first page for free. Then you decide whether to order the full comic.
