Road Trip: a personalized comic book gift
Snacks packed, playlist loaded, map ignored. This comic turns a road trip into a cross-country adventure starring the person who always insists on driving. You will spot their face on every page, singing at full volume, refusing to ask for directions or calling a fourth rest stop in one hour. Add the real trip you took, the car's nickname and what they always say at the wheel, and you get a custom comic book that feels like a souvenir from the best drive of your lives.

Questions about this comic
Can the comic follow a road trip we really took?
Yes. Write the route, the stops, the dates and what went wrong in the 'anything special' field. The story is built around those details and adds plenty of comic adventure on top, and you can change the words in the editor.
Can our travel companions and the car's nickname be in it?
Yes. Mention your travel companions or pets in your answers and they can appear in the story. Add the car's nickname and its worst habits in the 'anything special' field, and the story ideas we write are built around them.
