The inside jokes so far, drawn on a cover.
It is new enough that the jokes still count. The bad first date, the thing he calls you that makes no sense to anyone else. A comic with his real face on the cover puts all of it on the page, with you drawn in beside him if you want. It is the gift he shows his friends first.
A gift for a boyfriend should be worth showing off.
It is the one he shows his friends
Cologne goes in the cabinet. A comic with his face on the cover goes on the phone, gets passed around the table, and ends up on his shelf. It is the rare sentimental gift a guy is proud to be caught with.
The inside jokes so far
A newer relationship has fewer years but sharper details. The nickname from week two, the restaurant you both pretend was good, the text he sent at 2 a.m. Those become panels, and the two of you become the only people who get every page.
You can be in it
Add your own photos and you are drawn in beside him - the co-star, the one who shows up on the last page, or the reason for the whole mission. Not required. Or leave him solo, with you in the dedication.
What arrives in your inbox.
- A 26-page comic: cover, dedication, 22 story pages, epilogue, back cover
- Him drawn from his photos, in his city, with you beside him as the co-star if you send yours
- A high-resolution PDF within 24 hours, so it works for the birthday you found out about last week
The Weight He Carries - An engineer whose power is listening, drawn in Madrid
The Listening Hour - A couple's page: the hero and the partner who knows her rituals
Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
The first date, second attempt
The city gives him one more shot at the night that went sideways. Same restaurant, same rain, and this time the hero has a plan and you have a suspicion.
The nickname origin story
Every hero name has a source. His is a joke from week two that nobody else understands. Twenty-two pages explain, at last, why it stuck.
The playlist he made you
Each song is a chapter. The hero crosses his city collecting them, one landmark per track, and the last page is the one he has not sent yet.
The meet-the-friends mission
His best friend had questions. The hero survives the interrogation at the bar, and his friend is drawn in as the judge if you send a photo.
The city we are still mapping
New couple, new neighborhoods. The hero and his co-star chase a mystery through every place you have found together so far, and the epilogue is the next one.
What to put in the form.
The joke from the first month
The nickname, the thing you both still quote, the disaster date. New jokes are the sharpest ones. Give us two or three.
Where it happened
The bar, the bus stop, the apartment with the bad radiator. Real places in his city are the set, drawn as they are.
Photos of him, and of you
Two or three clear daylight shots of his face, no sunglasses. Same for you if you want to be drawn in beside him.
How far to go
A new relationship gift can land as a big laugh or a quiet one. Tell us how serious to play it. We follow your lead.

Easier than guessing his size.
Tell us about him
A short form and a few photos. His personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.

An original story with him at the center - his real face on the cover, his city as the setting. A person checks every page before it ships.

Before you start.
What is a good gift for a new boyfriend?
Something specific to the two of you without being too much. A comic book with his face on the cover, his city as the set, and the inside jokes so far as the plot does that. It is funny first, sentimental underneath, and it costs $49, which is the right weight for a relationship that is months old.
Is a personalized comic a good Valentine's or birthday gift for a boyfriend?
Yes. You set the occasion in the form and the dedication and epilogue are written for it - a birthday, Valentine's Day, or the first anniversary. The story itself is built from the two of you: his city, the jokes so far, and you drawn in beside him if you add your photos.
How fast is it?
Most comics are delivered the same day you order, and always within 24 hours. You get a high-resolution PDF by email, sized for printing at home or at any print shop.
What do you need from me?
Two or three clear photos of the person, a few details about them, and the occasion. The form takes a few minutes. The more specific the details, the more the story feels like them.
What if something is off?
Every comic includes one free revision, and there is a 14-day refund window. A person reviews every page before it is sent.
Is it really 26 pages?
Yes: a cover, a dedication page, 22 story pages, an epilogue and a back cover, with more than 50 individually composed panels. It is a full comic book, not a strip or a poster.
Also a good gift for...
He has been the hero of your stories since the first date.
Put him on the cover. He will act cool about it for about four seconds. Then he will send a photo of it to the group chat.
