“Dads Are”: I Illustrate The Average Experience Of Being A Dad (35 Pics)

I’ve been drawing comics about being a dad on and off for a few years. Let’s face it: being a dad takes up a big chunk of my time. It all started when I was literally carrying everyone’s luggage through the airport. I said, “As a dad, you are a Sherpa,” and that’s how my comic began.My kids are my inspirations, along with observing how other dads interact with their children. Almost all of my comics are based on real-life experiences. As the kids get older, more ideas come flooding in. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy.More info:InstagramThis post may includeaffiliate links.

As A Dad You Are So Many Things In The Eyes Of Your Child

“Dads Are” started one day when I was schlepping ALL of my family’s luggage through the airport. I was traveling with two kids and a wife. Then it occurred to me… as a dad, I’m a sherpa. From that moment forward I started looking at being a dad a little different.I started writing ideas while driving to work, or seeing something out in public that sparked an idea. I found myself smiling a lot.

Now that my kids are 13 and 16, I’ve started to incorporate new ways my kids view me, like an ATM, or driving instructor, but I’ll still go back and draw memories of when they were little.My kids help me with my comics. My youngest will occasionally do the coloring after I get it inked and my oldest will give ideas along with critiquing the actual drawing. My sixteen-year-old is a better artist than I am. I appreciate their feedback on what could make the drawings better. They also have a similar sense of humor, so if I run an idea past them and they roll their eyes, I know it’s kind of dorky. But sometimes I intend them to be dorky.
