Comics that are mundane and imperfect. And loving it.

This one was in my sketchbook since October. I drew with it a G-nib dip pen and didn't colour it until now. I wasn't satisfied with the 4th frame. My daughter was originally in sitting on the sofa looking at lyrics on the iPad. But I changed it to this standing position, which she also does. This looks more like rapping. And I like how all that text is split up more. (There are lots of lyrics in rap).

If I were to point out one or two things about this one, it would be that:

1. I didn't really care that it's just everyday mundane stuff. I like finding the little gems in the mundane. That's a fun challenge. I used to pressure myself into doing something exciting to impress people who might read it. But that just made me stress out. (I learned that when I was writing The Ollie Comics.) And it would be more difficult to think of anything good. So now, I don't mind writing about mundane events in a comic. BUT I do try to write them in a way that would amuse myself. And not aim to amuse the public. It's too hard trying to guess what every person in the world would like. It's hard or impossible to please everyone anyways. It can also be scary imagining what they'd say about my work. I have a good imagination! So now, if I manage to amuse just myself with what I write, I count that a win. If it amuses others, that's a bonus!
2. I could have removed traces of that cut and paste over the 4th panel. But I'm embracing that imperfection. It goes with being authentic when doing a personal diary. If this was for a commercial project, yes, I'd remove it and make it look more polished. That's the lovely freedom about doing personal comics. I can leave things charmingly imperfect if I want to! In fact, it adds that extra mystery for me. Years later, I might wonder what was it that I covered over? A hidden extra story?
