This is an idea I've been thinking about for a while, but have hesitated to actually put down on paper. Essentially, it will catalogue my family's experiences caring for an elderly person. This is a weird topic for a comic strip, but there's no shortage of material and I hope that other people will appreciate it.
I've never really been a fan of auto-bio comics, and I don't much care to draw myself doing things. I realized, though, that if I wanted people to relate to these experiences, then I would need to make them personal and relatable. All of the stories that I have are unique to my grandfather, so it's important for the reader to get a sense of who he is (and who we are too, I suppose). Caring for old people is a very common occurrence, and it will only become more so in decades to come. Will these strips help anybody who has to deal with an aging parent or grandparent? I think that may be a job best left to alcohol--but maybe the pictures can serve as the chaser.
If anybody has any feedback on this, I would welcome it!
