I've been asked where I get the inspiration for my webcomics.
It really is inspired by what happened to me that day. That's why I call the series "Then this happened..."
The concept really is kind of like that - today this happened and then I draw the thing, and then the next day this happened.
It first started out being a cathartic thing there was a year that we were going through a really rough time.

Then the second year is when we had gotten through that time and how our lives had changed.

By that second year, I had started the podcast, I was doing more with my website, and I was doing public events.
So it was kind of like growing from this really rough time to how our lives had changed.
I always forget to take pictures
And also, the main reason that I started this webcomic is that I had just started using Instagram and one thing I realized is something would happen and I would forget to take a picture of it. Afterward, I'd be like, "Oh! I should have got a photo of that".
Then it occurred to me that I could draw about it later and then I'd post this on Instagram. To me, that was just as good as a photo.
And people do ask me if some of the things I draw about really did happen. Yes, they did! 🙂
So that's the inspiration behind these webcomics, something that happens in my life every day and I always forget to take pictures of things.
