He fixed everything for years. Now he gets a cover.
He does not want a tie and he will not say what he wants. A comic book with his face on the cover, his truck in the background and the kids drawn in beside him is the one Father's Day gift he cannot deflect, because he does not have to take it seriously to love it.
A Father's Day gift should get past the man who deflects.
It lets him laugh first
A photo album says feelings. A comic says fun. He is allowed to laugh at himself drawn as the hero, and while he is laughing, the feelings get in anyway.
It is built from his stuff
The garage, the grill, the boat that never runs, the dog that follows him everywhere. His real things become the props and the powers of the story.
The kids can be in it
A comic from the family can draw the family in. He is the hero; the kids are the crew he is saving, or the ones who finally save him. Both work.

The man who fixes everything
The city breaks in a dozen small ways on one Sunday. He goes around fixing all of it with the tools from the garage and the same three phrases.
The garage is a base
Everyone thought it was a mess. It is a command center. This is the day the family finds out what he has been building out there.
The coach, retold
The little-league seasons, the early drives, the lost finals. One long game where his side finally wins, with the kids on the field.
The road trip with no map
He refused directions once and they got there anyway. A quest across their real state with the whole car drawn in.
The dog was the sidekick all along
The dog knows everything he does. Told from the dog's side, with him as the hero who never notices he is one.
What to put in the form.
His three phrases
Every dad has them. Quote the exact words. They go in speech bubbles and the family will read them in his voice.
The thing he built or fixed
The deck, the car, the shed, the wifi. One real project becomes the plot and the proof that someone was watching.
Photos, the recent kind
Two or three clear photos, faces visible, the way he looks now. Add the kids and the dog if they are in the story.
Where he is from
His town, his street, the field, the lake. Real places are drawn in, so the story is set in his life, not a generic suburb.
Comics we have made for men like him.
Easier than getting him to open the card.
Tell us about him
A short form and a few photos. His personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.
We build his comic
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 do you get a dad who says he does not want anything?
Something he cannot compare to a store. A comic book with his face on the cover and his own life as the plot is not a thing he already owns or would ever buy himself, which is the whole point.
Can the kids give it and be in it?
Yes. Add each child with a photo and say who is who. He is the hero; the kids appear beside him in the story, and the dedication page is written from them.
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.
