For the question you only get to ask once

The story of the two of you, ending in a question.

You already know how the story goes - the first date, the bad apartment, the trip where it clicked. A comic book puts it on 22 story pages, with both your faces and your city drawn in, and the last page is where you ask. It arrives within 24 hours, so it can be printed for the day.

Why it works

A proposal should be the story so far.

It builds to the question

The first 22 story pages are how you got here - the meeting, the moves, the fights you laugh about now. By the time they turn the last page, the question is the only possible ending.

They read it in your hands

There is no screen to hold up. Print it, hand it over on the bench, at the table, in the kitchen where it started, and watch them read. You will know when they reach the page.

It is what stays

The ring goes on a hand. The comic goes on a shelf, then a coffee table, then the kids' hands. A person checks every page before it is sent, because this one has to be right.

What you get

What arrives in your inbox.

  • Both of you drawn from your own photos, in the city where it happened, with the question at the end

Story ideas

Story ideas - steal one, or tell us yours.

01

The Case of the Missing Ring

A detective story through your city: the ring is lost, every friend is a suspect, and the trail ends at the reader's own hand on the last page.

02

Every Place We Almost Said It

The rooftop, the airport, the kitchen at 1 a.m. Each panel is a moment you nearly asked. The last panel is the one where you do.

03

The Map to Here

Two heroes cross the city following a map only they can read - the first bar, the old apartment, the park - to a landmark with a question waiting.

04

The Sequel Nobody Expected

Your relationship as a franchise: the origin, the road trip, the villain called the Lease. The final page announces the next installment, and asks them to sign on.

05

The Quiet Yes

A story about the small things they did without being asked - the umbrella, the soup, the waiting up - and one page where you finally ask something back.

Make it land

What to put in the form.

Where you will ask

Name the bench, the bridge, the restaurant. The real place is drawn in, so the last page shows where they are sitting.

The words, exactly

Write the question the way you plan to say it, and the name you use for them. It goes on the page as written.

Photos of both of you

Two or three clear photos each, faces visible, in daylight, taken without them asking why. Photos from your phone are fine.

The reveal plan

Tell us if they read it alone or with you there. The pacing of the last pages is written for that moment.

How it works

Easier than hiding the ring.

01

Tell us about them

A short form and a few photos. Their personality, your occasion, the details only you would know.

02

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.

03

Give the gift

A high-res PDF in your inbox - typically the same day, always within 24 hours. Print it, wrap it, or send it.

When to order

Order at least two days before the day so you can print it and check every page yourself first. The last page is the question, so read it before they do.

The difference

A full comic book, not a strip with their name in it.

Length
26 pages: cover, dedication, 22 story pages, epilogue, back cover. Not a strip, not a poster.
Panels
More than 50 individually composed panels, each one drawn for this story.
Likeness
Drawn from the recipient's own photos - real face, real hair, real glasses, real dog.

Story
Written from scratch from what you tell us. No template plot, no name swapped into a stock script.

A person reads every page before it goes out.

Questions

Before you start.

How do I propose with a comic book?

Order it a few days ahead, with the question written into the form as you plan to say it. The PDF arrives by email within 24 hours. Print it, and hand it over somewhere quiet. Sit close. They will read the first 22 story pages as a gift and reach the last page still holding it.

Can I keep the proposal a surprise if you need their photos?

Yes. Two or three clear photos from your phone are enough, and nothing is sent to them - the PDF goes to your email only. The form asks about them, not for their address. Ordering a few days early leaves room for the one free revision before the day.

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.

The day you ask

Twenty-two pages of how you got here. One page for the question.

Put the two of you on a cover. Hand it over. Watch them reach the last page.
