The one gift under the tree that is about them.
Most of what goes under the tree could have been bought for anyone. A comic book with their face on the cover, their city on every page and the whole family drawn in could only have been made for one person. Order by December 23 and it still arrives in time.
A Christmas gift should be about the person.
It cannot be regifted
Their face is on the cover. Their street is on page one. The dog is on page nine. Nobody else in the family could open this box by mistake, and nobody would want to hand it on.
The whole family fits
A partner, the kids, a grandparent, the pet - a few people can be drawn into one book from their photos. One person is the hero. The rest of the table shows up in the panels beside them.
It wraps
The PDF is sized for US Letter paper. Print it at home or at any print shop, put it in a box, and it goes under the tree like anything else. It is the one they read on the couch afterward.

Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.
The Night Before, Saved
The tree is down, the oven is out, and the cousins land in an hour. The hero holds Christmas Eve together with a screwdriver and a grin.
The Year in Twelve Panels
One panel per month, from the January diet to the December kitchen, with the whole family drawn in. The hero is the one who kept it all moving.
Operation Last Parking Spot
Christmas Eve at the mall, one space left, a rival in a minivan. A chase through their real city, ending with the right gift and the wrong receipt.
The Keeper of the Recipes
Grandma's cookie recipe has gone missing on December 24. The hero follows it through the family's old houses and finds it where she left it - in someone's memory.
The Snow That Never Came
Their city has not seen a white Christmas in years. The hero and the dog climb the tallest landmark in town to fix that, one flake at a time.
What to put in the form.
Who is at the table
List everyone who should appear, with two or three clear photos each. Say who the hero is and who is beside them.
The Christmas thing they always do
The 6 a.m. wake-up, the burnt gravy, the same movie every year. One tradition, described exactly, becomes a whole scene.
Their city in December
Name the street with the lights, the market, the rink. Real landmarks are drawn in, so the setting is home, not a generic snow globe.
The line they say every year
Quote it exactly, the way they say it. It goes in a speech bubble, and the room will recognize it before the page turns.
Comics we have made for the whole family.
Easier than the mall on December 23.
Tell us about them
A short form and a few photos. Their personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.
We build their comic
An original story with them at the center - their real face on the cover, their city as the setting. A person checks every page before it ships.

Before you start.
Can the whole family be in one Christmas comic book?
Yes. One person is the hero and a few more can be drawn in beside them - a partner, the kids, a grandparent, the dog - each from their own photos. Add everyone in the form and say who is who. The story is written around the family you describe.
How do I wrap a comic book that arrives as a PDF?
Print it. The pages are US Letter size, so a home printer or any print shop handles them. Bind it at the shop or keep it as loose pages in a folder, put it in a box, and wrap the box. Ordering on December 23 still leaves time - delivery is always within 24 hours.
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...
