Diary of a Work-from-home Dad

In September 2019, I started drawing singular-page shorts to share my happy, sad, frustrating, and comedic experience as a father. It was until February 2020 when my secondborn was diagnosed with a rare syndrome that I decided to make use of this project to instill awareness on what it’s like to raise a special needs child while parenting a strong-willed firstborn.

I have a Patreon set up if you’d like to support and keep up-to-date with works in progress. Alernatively, there’s a Buy Me a Coffee if you prefer to tip without a monthly commitment.
