Questions about this comic
Can it include their actual job and favorite tech jokes?
Yes. Add their role, their go-to fixes and the questions they hear every day in the hero questions, plus any office inside jokes in the 'anything special' field. Real software brands and logos stay out, so the villains are original.
Does it work for the family's unofficial tech support?
Perfectly. Plenty of tech heroes do not have the job title. If they are the one who fixes everyone's phone over the holidays, put that in the 'anything special' field and the story revolves around their unpaid IT career.
