Mother's Day: a personalized comic book gift

Her face appears on every page as she finds lost keys by pure instinct, out-negotiates a customer service hotline and texts in all caps from across the galaxy. Add her catchphrase, her hobbies and the advice she repeats until it sticks. Sweet or hilarious, it is a personalized book for adults that says what a card never quite manages to.

Questions about this comic
Can it be sweet rather than jokey?
Yes. Say in your answers that you want it warm and sentimental, or that she is the family comedian, and the three story ideas we write lean that way. You also write the personal foreword in the printed hardcover yourself, the perfect spot for the things that are hard to say in person.
Will it arrive in time for Mother's Day?
The eBook is ready in about 15 minutes, so it works even if you remember on the morning itself. The hardcover takes 3 to 10 working days of printing plus shipping, so order it a couple of weeks before Mother's Day to be safe.
