Year of the Spider

Wow, I made it through 2024, and what a ride it’s been!

I’ve dreamed of creating comics since the fourth grade, but over the years, I’ve found plenty of excuses for why I never took the plunge. Last year, though, I decided to rip off the band-aid and dive in headfirst. Despite the challenges along the way, I’m so glad I did. And I’m even more grateful that you’re here to share this journey with me.

Winter Is Coming!

San Gorgonio Wilderness, California—March 2012

What an exciting and challenging year this has been!

As I wrap up this first year, I want to share that this is the final Spider Barks for 2024! I’ll be taking a well-deserved break throughout December.

I’m excited about my goals for 2025, and taking next month off is a vital step in making those plans a reality. I can’t wait to share more details when the time is right!

Reverse Caption Contest

This week’s comic is my submission for the @rusty.creates Reverse Caption Contest.

“Rather than a traditional caption contest where participants write a witty caption for a context-less image, this is the reverse! Instead, you’ll start with a caption and have to create the cartoon that turns it into a punchline.”

When I read the prompt, “Dad?” this was the first idea that popped into my head, and I couldn’t shake it. After the initial sketch, I knew I just had to do it.

Drawing this comic was a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
